PLANS NOW BEING MADE
TO FIGHT FOREST FIRES
DURING THE DRY SEASON

Plans are now being made
through the southwestern forest
district to fight forest fires during
the coming dry season. The snow
is rapidly disappearing from the
foothills and it is realized that the
opening of the season is not far off.
Telephone lines are being re-
paired, trails cleaned out and
ether preparations are being made
for the dry spell.
A special effort will be made
this year to get the public to CO.
operate with the forest officials in
regard to camp fires. matches and
smokes in the forest.
The system of fire detection will
be much improved this year. from
the fact that telephone lines are
being extended and new observa-
ton posts built. Country that has
heretofore been almost inacces-
sible will be easily reached through
the improvements made.
The main reason for the early
preparation is that the large area
of seedlings that has been picked
out would easily succumb to a
forest fire.

SPECIAL AGENTS ARE
ONLY ONES EFFECTED
IN R. R. OWNERSHIP

Very little change locally marked
the passing of the railroads back
to private ownership, which was ac-
complished at II o'clock midnight
All local officials were former en-
ployes of the Santa Fe and it is
supposed they will retain their
same positions.
The only change will be in the
special agents department, where
even the smallest petty larceny
cases have had to be taken to the
federal court, which almost always
meant a penitentiary sentence
From now on these cases will be
heard in the justice of the peace
and district courts, and will be dis
posed of much more quickly.

and she gave the child to neigh
Dor, Cater Alexandria, to raise and
care for. Lately Caleb says, Mr.. Wat
kins had been endeavoring to get
him (Caleb) to return to Watkins
home and on several occasions had
cursed and abused him, though not
resor.ing to violence. Just before he
he killed his father, Caleb says, the
old man had been cursing and abus-
ing him, and as result of this
Caleb went out of the house, return
ing with an axe, with which he
struck his father three blows on the
head, inflicting wounds from which
the old man expired in few
minutes. The doctors who made ex-
animation of the wounds, state that
any one of the three wounds was
sufficient to have caused death. The
mans head was fearfully crushed,
his brains having been literally
spattered about the room in which
the tragedy occurred.
Shortly after the killing Caleb
Watkins went out among the neigh
bors and notified several that the old
man had been murdered, stating to
them that he Caleb had seen a
man about the place and that his
father had been killed by this strang-
er. He told several stories, however,
and they would not fit together, and
finally, at the Jail early Tuesday
morning, he admitted that he him
self had killed his father and told
the story in detail.
The two were the only~ones at the
home at the time the tragedy took
place. Watkins married a second
time, but his wife lives in the mill
village at Walhalla, and is an en-
ployee Of the mill. She has not for
some time resided with Watkins at
the home place OF the foot of the
mountains. Caleb holds to the story

TONE" WATKINS MURDERED
Walhalla Courier.

Walhalla Courier.
"Tone" Watkins, about 80 or SIS
years of age, was killed by his son,
Caleb Watkins, Is years of age, at
the Watkins home at the foot of
Rich Mountain, about sundown Mon
day evening. The boy was brought
to Jail during Monday night, and be-
fore yesterday morning had made
full confession to the sheriff and
others at the Jail, giving the fearful
tragedy in detail. From the evidence
adduced by Investigations about the
premises, and the statements made
by the boy himself, Coroner Abbott's
jury of inquest returned a verdict
to the effect that Watkins came to
his death by reason of blows from
an axe in the bands of Caleb Wat
kins.
1t seems that the trouble grew out
of the fact that Caleb Watkins has
never lived at his home with his
father since an infant. Caleb's
