COUNTY CLERK HAS
AN IRREGULAR DEED

For $1,000, Frederick S. Rawson, OF
San Angelo, Texas, bought from J. ".
Rea, among other property, the south
half of section 2, block II. public school
land. A deed containing a description
of the land and consideration cited.
dated Dec. %. 1913 was received by
county clerk Park Pitman Friday with
the request that it be recorded. The
records in the county clerks office
show that section 2 was sold by the
state to J. c. Wise on July ,, 1910.
An abstract supposed to have been
made by the FL Paso Abstract company
accompanied the deed. Mr.. Pitman de-
clares that there is no such company.
However, the abstract prepared showed
that section 2 had been sold by the
state to J. T. Skipper, March 16, 1907.
A typewriter affidavit attached to the
abstract states that Ethel Stults,
notary public for Oklahoma county,
Okla, acknowledged the abstract and

roads a force Of approximately 5000
gendarmes, of whom upwards of 2
600 are mounted IS already availa bic.
In May. 1913, the British govern
ment advanced a sum of 100000 to
the Persian government for the spec-
ial purpose of developing the gem
darmerie organization in the province
OF Ears, with a view to the suppress
sion Of the disorders on the Bushire
Shiraz road, and Of the illegal dues
known as rahdaTi, alafi, tufang-chi-
girl, and the like, levied upon each
beast of burden carrying merchan-
disc
In June, 1912, the rahdari exactions
over the $50 miles of road from
Bushire to Shiraz had reached the ex-
horbitant total of over $50 per mule
load, and so profitable had this source
OF revenue become to the local khans
along the road that not only were thew
able to pay their riflemen and clear
a good profit for themselves. but
stretches of road were farmed out at
auction to the highest bidder. and a
species of rate-cutting war was en-
gagged in by those who had alternative
routes by which caravans might pass

Swedish Officers Help In Work

" EHERAN, Persia, Jan. 24.-Swed-
ish officers are having wonder
4 full success in their work of de-
veIoping a gendarmerie, or police
force, to wipe out brigandage and
petty extortion by Persian khans.
Soviet ed-DowIeh, one of the worst
Of these small chieftains, has just
agreed to place his riflemen under
the orders Of the Swedish cOmman-
dant and to resign control of the road
he presumed to hold.
The gendarmerie now consists Of
eight battalions and in addition the
Svedes conduct an officers school
where Persian youth of the better
class are taught the art of warfare.
Despite Russian Jealousy the area
policed is constantly extended
I'D till quite recently the labors of
the swedish officers have consisted
chiefly in recruiting, training and
general organization, and the area
under effective patrol was inevitably
confined to the principal roads with

Apparently as Gay as Ever.
The eccentric cafes Of 'MOntmartre

the crowd in them and listen TO their
conversation you will be surprised to
discover that all the most noisy merry
makers, who stop at nothing to prove
their uncOnVentiOnality and eXuber-

and English who have come to Paris
for good time, while the eccentrically
dressed or undressed women who are
slipping HQueurs or drinking cham
payne at the little tables watching the
dancers are in reality honest bOur-
geoises, young wives accompanied by
their lawful husbands, and if you are
wise you will not try to take liberties
with them unless You want to find

There are not very many artistic
cabarets left in Paris, though if you

the latter shot and almost in

O'Clock Monday afternoon. The
story as told by parties present
seems to be about as follows:
The three Cheshers, Byers and
Stone entered the front door of
the Saloon. walked up to the bar
and ordered a drink, sharp words
followed and it is alleged that
Byers threatened that if any
body was looking for trouble
they could find it," At this
juncture it seems that the sever
al parties in the bar room be-
came conscious of trouble and
made their get away, so that no
one was in the saloon when the
shooting took place. Two shots
entered the body of Byers, the
shot that probably proved in
stantly fatal appeared to have
penetrated the appex o f the
heart. the other angling through
the lower part of the body. The
body was embalmed by under
taker Steed and shipped to Byers

of the deceased.
Beth Chesher and Byers have

years of age while Chesher ap-
