TO HONOR GIRL WHO
MADE FIRST TEXAS FLAG

Austin, Texas, Aug. 7-Gavels made
from the trunk of the tree under
which the Texas constitution was
framed were offered for sale by Gov
ernor Colquitt today. The proceeds
from the sale of these gavels is to go
to the fund for the erection of mon
ument to the girl who made the first
Texas flag.
The constitution of the state was
drafted under a live oak tree at
Brazoria. During a recent storm the
tree was blown down and it was saved
only in part from relic hunters. This
gave the idea of having the trunk
made into gavels and other memen-
tos. Miss Joanna Troutmans grave
is to be surmounted by a splendid
shaft as a fitting memorial to the girl
who made the first Lone Star flag.
Miss Troutman's remains recently
were removed from an unmarked
grave in Georgia and reinterred in
the cemetery in this city.

Was The Death Of G. |,
TGtef Of North Liberty
Dropped Dead In Yard Near
His Home

North Liberty, o., Aug. while
doing his usual morning round of work
G. l.. Teeter of this place died sud-
denly at about six-thirty o'clock
Thursday morning. His death was
due to an attack of heart trouble, the
first that he had ever sustained.
Mr.. Teeter finished his breakfast
and went to the schoolyard nearby
to get his cow which had been tied
there over night to pasture. He was
probably in the act of untieing the
rope when he was stricken as his po-
sition when found would indicate that
fact. He was missed by Mrs. Teeter
about fifteen minutes after he had
left the house and, knowing that he
had had ample time to return with
the COW, she became somewhat
alarmed and started to search for him.
She found him lying dead by the side
of the cow.
The deceased was 62 years of age
and Is survived by his wife, three
sons and two daughters. The funer-
al at the Brethren church at this
place Saturday morning at 10 o'clock,

PARTICULARS
OF The Death OF The Late
Wilson S. Cummings
As Detailed In A Colorado
Newspaper
4Montroge (Coloradol Pregsl

tMontrose (Colorado) Pressl
Th community was shocked We'd
nesday evening, when about six
o'clock the news was flashed about
the city of the death of w. S. Cum
mings of Fredericktown, Ohio, who
has been a visitor in the city for
about ten days. Only the closest
friends of Mr.. Cummings and his at
tendants knew that he was ill. An
gina pectoris was given as the cause
of his death.
Mr.. Cummings came to Montrose
about ten days ago to look after his
ranch near the city, and since his
arrival had been unusually we'll. All
his life he had been strong man,
but in the last year or more he had
suffered from indigestion and slight
heart trouble. Tuesday night he was
apparently as we'll as usual and in
company with Ralph N. Whitford at
tended a dinner party at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Crosse, where he
was in his happiest humor, and his
brilliant wit kept up without inter-
ruption all evening" Mr.. Whitford
accompanied him to his room in the
Smith Central, but was unable to ac-
cept his invitation to spend the night
with him as he felt it necessary to
return to his ranch. However, the
gentlemen expected to see each other
on Wednesday, and Mr.. Whitford
parted from his friend, who seemed
to be unusually well that evening.
Wednesday morning Mr.. Cummings
woke up ill, and a physician and lat
er a nurse, were secured, and every
thing that medical skill and care can
do, was done, but little fear was felt
in regard to his condition, and no
one could believe that death was so
near. Naturally, heart trouble in a
man of his age, 72 years, is serious,
but as he seemed to improve so much
after a bad attack in the morning, the
chances seemed bright for his early
recovery. He had had similar at
tacks in Ohio, but always rallied from
their effects in a short time he,
himself. seemed little worried, and
spoke to Mr.. Whitford, who spent
most of the afternoon with him, OF
feeling very badly and expressed the
wish that he were home. At $3.50 Mr..
Cummings passed away, there having
been but little change in his condi-
ton until shortly before his death
MI. Cummings was retired lum-
ber man OF Fredericktown, was
prominent in Republican politics and
in the business world. All his life
long he was an exemplary citizen,
and was a philanthropist in every
sense of the word, giving away thous-
ands of dollars for charity. This line
of work was done in such an unos-
! tentatious way that only his closest
| friends knew how much good Mr.
| Cummings did do for the betterment
of his fellow men. No family was
needy, but that if it came to his
knowledge, he furnished means OF
relieving their distress. And he gave
many young people start in the
world by providing the necessary
funds for securing an education, plac'
ing them under no obligations to re-
pay unless they saw their way clear
to do so. He was devoted member
of the Methodist church.
Deceased owned a ranch near this
city and had large holdings at La
mar. He was we'll known to a great
many of our citizens, having made
