GERMAN MUNITIONS
ENDANGERED BY FIRE
AMMUNITION WAS BOUGHT IN
THIS COUNTRY BY GER.
MAN AGENTS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-Three mil
lion rounds of cartridges, thousands
of Springfield rifles and revolvers and
other weapons were endangered by
fire in the storage room of building
ing the West Houston street early to-
day. The fire was quickly extinguish-
ed with small loss before reaching
the ammunition.
Police said that they learned that
the ammunition was bought in this
country by German agents seven
months ago with the intention Of
shipping it to Germany by the way of
South America and a neutral Euro
pean port. The plan, they said, had
failed because of British vessels re-
fusing to engage in the work of car
rying ammunition to the enemies Of
great Britain.
John H. Patrick, a contractor, and
owner of the building, had a police
permit to store the ammunition and
100000 revolvers there.

Tom Pierce, Jr., grandson of Hon.
Rice A. Pierce, was accidentally shot
in the neck this evening while out
hunting with a playmate, Rob Jordan,
and it is difficult to say how serious
ly the boy is injured. The ball enter
ed the front of his neck and is sup
posed to have lodge in or near his
spine, as he is in a stupor or kind of
paralyzed condition, though con-
scious. The ball has not been remov-
ed at this time.
Young Pierce is IA years old and

of Tom Pierce, Sr., and is visiting

The boys were out hunting and
when near home on their return one

charged with the above results. 1t
was thought that it was young Jor-

MAKE BANANA FLOUR.
Natives of Hot Countries Find it a
Nourishing Food.

New York Journal: It is not gen.
orally known that -four can be made
from bananas: but from very early
period the natives of tropical coun-
tries where the bananas grows
Jamaica, Canary islands, the Malay
archipelago and Africa-have made
-four from the fruit.
Stanley, the explorer, found the
natives of Africa making it by dry.
ing bananas over wooden gratings
and grinding them to powder. He
found the -four wholesome and easily
digested. Once, when attacked by
dysentery, he took thin Cruel made
from it for a day, during which he
abstained from other food, and OBJ
tanned prompt relief.
The South American Indians make
a flour of paste from bananas, and
so the banana in that part of the
world, as in Africa and the East
Indies, takes the place of cereals.
The flour can be easily carried about,
and, as needed, made into cakes and
fried or mixed with water and drunk.
Banana -four contains one-third as
much protein matter, one-fOurth as
much fat and a little more starch
than wheat flour.

amount of business to transact and it
is probable that the court will be in
session the better part of the day.
Probably the most interesting Ques.
ton to come before the court will be
the election of a member of the coun.

pires Mr.. Hight was originally elect
ed to fill the unexpired term of James
I. Petty when the latter resigned and
subsequently was given a full term of
three years. He is a candidate for
reelection and is opposed by Elmer

The quarterly reports of County Su-

road commission, the poor house COM
mission and the county Judge will all
be submitted, Judge Mcknight will
also submit an annual report, which
will be one of the most complete and
exhaustive ever presented by the f.

There will be the usual number of
appropriations and one in which the
farmers OF the county have excep-
