ID A border bandit confession,
claimed to have been received by the
eherff's department from prisoner,
not only admits participation in last
Monday nights train wreck and muir
ders near here, but involves several
other Mexlcans and leads the officers
to believe they are on the trail Of the
chief offenders in the Texas border

The Mexican, who is said by the Of
ficers to have confessed. is Chano
Flores and was arrested Friday in the
company Of Luciano Chapa, another
Mexican, who denies Flores story.

les of raids has been to Secure lib
erty and independence for MeXiCans

says, are Of secondary Importance.

taking part in a raid on a ranch at

ago, in which u father, son and two
stepsons were killed. After this,

lutionary forces" have been In Rey-
nosa, Mexico, for several weeks,
maintaining headquarters there.

DEATH OF j. II. MOORE.
Was Well and FavOrabIy Known
Throughout Oconee County.

The announcement Of the death of
j. Thompson Moore, which occurred
at his home near Seneca last Thurs
day morning, came as source of
great sorrow to many friends of the
deceased in Walhalla. 1T was known
that Mr.. Moore was in failing health,
by reason Of which he had decided to
retire from business, but his condi-
ton was not known to be in any way
serious. Mr.. Moore was only 43
years of age.
The deceased was a native Of An
derSon county. He was a son OF W.
II. Moore, now Of Greenville. He is
survived by his wife and three chill
dren. His wife was before marriage
Miss Lula Stone, a daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. T. J. Stone, Of Seneca. They
had been married for 20 years. Five
children were born to this union, two
| having died in infancy. He is also
survived by two brothers, r. p.
| Moore, of Greenville, and G. c..
Moore, Of Union City, Ga, and four
sisters, Miss Emmie Moore, OF Ander-
son; Mrs. w. ID. Wilson, Of Westmin-
ster: Mrs. w. S. Fuller, Of Georgia,
and Mrs. ID. |. Holman, of Greenvillc.
The body of Mr.. Moore was laid to
rest in the cemetery Of the Return
church Thursday evening last at s
o'clock, the funeral services being
conducted by Rev. l.. NJ. LYDIA, his
pastor, assisted by Rev. T. M. Gal
phin, of Seneca.
Mr.. Moore was Il splendid man
honest. honorable, true to every re-
sponsibility and trust, however
slight. He was one Of those men Of
| w n f,,l ll1, no "a h,t .
his word was as good as his bond and
the latter as good as gold. He held
honor above all other things of life,
and his daily walk among his fellow
men was above reproach. In church
affairs he was diligent, faithful, con-
scientious; in the daily affairs of
life he had but one rule, and that was
to always square his dealings by the
dictates Of an ever alert conscience.
For number of years he had been q
consistent member of the Return
Baptist church, and took an active
and lively interest in all things per-
tanning to church work.
For several years Mr.. Moore had
been the active head of the firm
known as the Seneca Implement Com
| pany, and it was his desire, after re-
aliZing that he was in failing health,
to retire from all active business mat
ters. Plans for the dissolution and
disposition of his company were un-
der LAY at the time Of his death. Mr..
! Moore was an active member OF Sen
feca Lodge knights OF Pythias, and
many members of that order attend
ed his funeral, paying the last sad
tribute to the memory Of their de-
parted brother.

Vailed to his reward d,pssaad we, !, with
many other friends OF the family, ex-
tend to them sincere sympathy in
their sorrow.
