MRS. GOMEZ POISON.
Ed, DIES IN TWO HOURS

Eduardo Gomez, about thirty years
Of age, died suddenly Wednesday about
$3.50 p. m, from what is supposed TO
have been arsenic poisoning, or from
taking bi-chloride of mercury tablets
few of which were found in her home
on a table.
About $3.50 a neighbor girl was GO
ing home and heard Mrs. Gomez call
ing for help. When the girl arrived
she found Mrs. Gomez writhing with
pain lying on the floor. She assisted
the woman to the bed and called for
assistance. Mrs. Romero went over
and found the woman in a serious con-
dition. She called physician and did
what she could to relieve her friends
I suffering. When the doctor arrived
a hasty examination was made but
the woman was dying. Her lower
limbs were paralyzed and she was
suffering intensely. When asked how
she came TO be in this condition she
said man hurt her. She did not tell
the name but said he was a carpenter.
That is about all she would say. She
realized she could not live and talk
ed freely to Mrs. Romero about her
business affairs.
The man suspicioned was $. j. Lilly
of Hansford, Tex, who is working on
the new store buildings. At the hear
ing today he was put on the stand
and testified that he was acquainted
with Mrs. Gomez, and was at her
place at $3.50, having gone there to
take his laundry which she had been
doing for him for sometime. He was
there only about five minutes. She
said she was sick and complained OF
pain in her head and breast She
asked him to get her some whiskey
and gave him ten cents, asking him
/ to loan her the balance to buy a quar-
ter's worth. He then went to his
boarding. place, ate supper, went up
town and got the whiskey, About ten
o'clock he returned to the Gomez home
with the whskey. He found several
women there and one man. They told
/ him Mrs. Gomez was dead and that
the officers had his clothes and were
looking for him. He returned to town
and found Alex. Street, sheriff, and
told him he was the man they were
looking for.
Lilly said he gave the woman no
medicine. was guilty of no crime and
wanted the matter cleared up as far
as he was concerned.
A number of witnesses were heard
but nothing sufficient to convict or
strong enough to hold Lilly. The jury
decided tnat the woman came to her
death by poison administered to her
in some unknown manner so far as
shown, and Lilly was released.

ELAINE HAMMERSTEIN PLAYS
LEAD IN THE ARGYLE CASE

A charming addition to the list of
leading women of the screen is Elaine
Hammerstein, granddaughter of the
famous Oscar Hammerstein, the oper-
attic impresario, who is making her
first important appearance as a film
actress in the role opposite Robert
Warwick in the Selznick-Picture pro-
duction Of the great detective drama,
THE Argyle Case"
Miss Hammerstein is the daughter
of Arthur Hammerstein, who, altho,
engaged in the profession Of theatri-
cal producer, did his utmost to restrain
the histrionic impulse which urged her
toward the footlights. But although
Hammerstein Pere and Hammerstein
Grandpere did their darnedest, it was
not to be and Immediately upon gradu-
atng from Armitage College, in Penn.
the fair Elaine set her little foot down
and declared herself.
Detective methods of the most scien-
tific and modern sort play such an i'm
portant part in THE Argyle Case" in
which Robert Warwick will make his
first appearance as a Selznick Pictures
'thi' llaN IL WIS COnSlutTtN advisable
to obtain the best technical advice
necessary, so that the picture might be
perfect in every detail. William j.
Burns, the internationally famous de-
tective, was consulted by Harvey ].
O'Higgins, and Harriet Ford. when
they wrote the original play, and he
consented to act in similar capacity
of adviser to Rober, Warwick. He
made several visits to the Selznick
Studio when the important scenes were
being photographed, and as a conse-
quence "The Argyle Case" is the first
detective film which will stand the
closest scrutiny,
Many important devices of the mod
ern detective are employed in The
Argyle Case" exactly as Detective
Burns has used them in many of his
big cases. This picture will be shown
at the Rex Opera House next Sunday.

+ YOU CAN'T JOIN THE ARMY
DO YOUR PART AT HOME

Different parts of the country are
organizing County Associations for
war relief. Some will ask what such
an organization will do and what is
the good of il? This question is an
swered thusly:
The soldier who leaves behind per-
sons who are dependent will know that
the association stands ready to help
them. The soldier who is unable to ar
range his business affairs before he is
called to go will have the help of com
mittee made up of representative busi-
ness men who will care for his stock or
any other property without cost to
him. The soldier who is invalided to
his home will be given every comfort
and aid from the association, the care
that he justly deserves. The wounded
man will have that same care, and the
soldier who is permanently disabled,
will not become a public charge, but
will be fitted for a position of useful
ness in his community. The county
man who may become prisoner in a
German detention camp will, if it is
at all possible, have supplies sent him
from the association. The boys at the
front and in training will not be for
gotten at the holidays but will receive
boxes from home under the auspices
of the associations. These are but a
few of the services which the propos-
ed organizations can render.
The movement will appeal To every
patriotic citizen. Following the com
pletion of the county organization the
locals should be established in every
community. This will not replace the
work of the Red Cross but will supple
ment such effort.
The program can be financed thru
the annual membership fee of modest
size. And every man, woman and
child in the county will want to be-
long.
1t is our duty to help the man who
is fighting our battles. He offers his
life; we can at least offer evidences Of
our appreciation by forming an asso-
citation to give its time and services to
his welfare.
A man is lucky in England or any
other country who is engaged on one
side or the other is he returns home
with the loss of only one arm or one
leg, or one eye. Thousands of them
are giving their lives. You may be
too old to be caught in this draft and
you may never see service, but wha,
would you take in cash If some one
would offer it to you for leg, arm OF
eye? Think this over. These boys
do not owe their lives to their country
any more than we older fellows do
The boys are not complaining and 60
willingly to battle against our enemies
so why shouldn't we do our best to
make them feel that their services are
appreciated from the bottom of our
hearts and, incidentally, our pocket.

There are thousands of ducks on u

There are thousands of ducks on the
lake east of town but the nimrods are
not bringing in very large string.
Many are satisfied if they can truth
fully say they have bagged one or
two, although number have brought
in near the dozen mark. Two boys
were out Sunday. They took off their
clothes and went into the water. Both
boys carried "nigger-shooters" and it
is said they kept under the water un-
ill they were nearly to the ducks, then
they would rise up and shoot. One
of the boys brought in two which he
said he killed in that manner.
