was not done by a bullet 1t was just
another trick of the stage. Sitting

apparatus on the table was released

A. Ruhrup, of the Texas & Pacific
railway. That is, provided you view
it from a window, with heartily
burning base burner stove on your

10 years ago is marvellous. Its growth
and prosperity have indicated those
who have labCred increasingly for the
city's progress and whose faith has
