According to Report.

Galveston, Tex, March 30.-W. II. r.
buckingham, general manager OF the
Aguila Oil company on the Isthmus of
Tchauntepec and his cashier, named
Bannerman were killed by bandits at
Nanchital on March 8, according TO
information brought here by passen-
gers arriving from Mexico on a tank
steamer Both men were British sub.
jects. After Buckingham had been
killed his body was hacked to pieces
with machetes, the report says.
The passengers also report that a
reign of terror has prevailed for sew.
eral weeks in the oil fields near Min.
atitlan and is said to be the result
of German influences. The oil fields
lie between territory occupied by Car.
ranza troops on one side and the for.
ces of Zapata on the other.
Buckingham and Banerman we're
killed following a demand by the ban.
dts for $500 and their discovery that
the safe contained only $1,000. Buck
ingham had been in Mexico for twen-
ty.siX years.
Ihe next day, says the reports, the
bandits went up the river few miles
and killed a Mexican farmer his wife
and father and cut off the hands of
the farmers two little girls.
Operations in the oil camps have
ceased since March 9 and there is
little prospect of resumption. The
men who brought the story to Gal.

COURT At WILSON
FIRST SESSION WILL PROBABLY
BE HELD THERE IN JULY.
Rapid Increase in Population Of Oil
Field District Made Branch Of
County Court Necessary. seImer
Butler May Be Clerk.

BY act Of the last legislature a new
court town in Carter county was es-
tablished at the new town of Wilson,
and as soon as all necessary arrange
ments can be made clerk will be
placed in charge arf regular sessions
Of county court held there.
The town of Wilson voted bonds
recently for the purpose of erecting a
court house and this will be finished
as soon as possible 1t is thought,
however, that court will not convene
there before July.
b. w. Duke, clerk Of the courts of
this county, will have general super.
vision and will appoint a clerk to pre-.
side over the new office. While it
has not been definitely settled. It is
rumored that Selmer Butler will be
the one deputized for this job.
The rapid increase in population of
the oil field district made this move
ment necessary, according to a state
mert of Judge Champion, before
whom all county cases are tried. He
said that the additional court would
save the county money and be far
more convenient than bringing all Of
Tenders here at the expense of the
county when they could as well be
tried at Wilson

uonal organization for the peaceful
settlement OF all political dispatches:
second, that the Bundesrath declares
