JUROR SMITH DEAD.
Jonepli Smith died at the asylum at j
Terrell. Tuesday evening at 10 o'clock
and his remains were taken to Kauf-n-an
today for burial. There Is some
thing peculiarly pathetic about the de
mise of this man. On February 23 last
he was received as a juror In the Grin
nan case on trial at Kaufman. The
trial lasted for ten days. The great
strain was too much for Mr. Smith.
When the jury was about ready to re
turn its verdict he was seized with a
violent mania, which prevented the ver
diet from being returned. The Jury
was held together for several days In
the hopes that he would recover suffi
ciently to take part In the delibera
tions." but instead of getting better, he
gradually grew worse, and the jury was
finally discharged by Judge Dlllard
without having returned Its verdict- A
tew days afterward Smith was declared
tc be insane and was taken to Terrel
lor treatment.. He gradually grew
worse until his death. He leaves a
wife and eight children.
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Some time during the afternoon Mod
day Kelly Broaderson. a young man
aged 21 years, was accidentally killed
while out hunting three miles south of
Weatnerford. He was staying at the
home of Fred Hammons, and about 2
p. m. took his gun and dog and went
for a hunt. Late in the evening the
dog returned to the house and as young
Broaderson did not come in time for
supper, a search was made for him and
his helpless body was found during the
night near the fence, with his gun
near by. His clothes were powder
burned and there was a large hole
through his body near his heart. The
supposition is that he was trying to
get over the fence when his gun was
accidentally discharged. His home was
in Kentucky and he had only been in
Texas a few weeks.
TWO KILLED IN FIGHT.
A difficulty occurred at Liberty. Tues
day between Wharton Branch. W. B.
Duncan and W. K. Wall .in which Dun
ran and Wall were instantly killed, be
ing shot with a pistol. The trouble
arose in a saloon. Branch is a well
known lawyer, having practiced ai
Galveston and Dallas, but has been re
Siding at Liberty for several years. Mr.
Duncan had been for a number of years
constable and deputy sheriff at Liberty.
He was about 34 years of age and
leaves a wife and several children be
sides a number of other relatives in
that country. Mr. Wall was the father-in-law
of Mr. Duncan. He was 50
years old and leaves a wife. A charge
of murder was filed asralnst Mr. Branch
and he was taken to Houston.
REMARKABLE PEACH TREE.
J. P. Steele, a prominent farmer liv
ing ten miles northwest of Denlson,
says the peaches have not been injured
thus far. and that it would take a pret
ty hard freeze to kill them at this late
date. Wheat and oats are looking fine
and no damage noted by the aphll. He
said: "Speaking of peaches. I have a
peach tree in my orchard which was
planted in 1866. and it is still bearing
fruit- At the ground It measures seven
feet in circumference, four feet above
the ground it measure four feet In cir
cumference. The tree is of an English
species, brought to this country a nam
her of years ago."
HE WAS NOT TRUE.
Mattie Graham, the 19-year-old
daughter or Police Officer Graham, shot
and probably fatally wounded Jack
Walsh, a member of the local fire de
partment at Houston Wednesday. The
shooting was the result of a former
love affair. The young lady was wait
ing for Walsh. When he came from
his hom at 7 o'clock in the morning
he passed her without speaking. Just
as he passed her she pressed a 38-call-her
pistol to his breast and fired. The
ballet passed through his body. The
girl has been arrested.
DR. TANNER'S SUCCESSOR.
Dr. R. N. Barrett has been appoint
rd professor of theology at Baylor uni
versity to fill the vacancy made by the
e'eath of Dr. John S. Tanner. Dr. Bar
rett is from Ellis county. He is a
graduate of the Theological Seminary
of Louisville. Ky.. and other famous
institutions. His appointment is sub
ject to the future action of the regents
"of the university.

WOMEN NOT EASY MARKS.
A smooth individual, claiming to be
a representative of the Butterick peo
ple, worked a new swindle on some
of the ladies of Williams this week. He
appointed three or four sole agents in
the town to handle patterns and col
lected only the small sum of $2.50 from
nch for that privilege. He was giving
another lady a "con" talk and paving J
the way towards naving anomer soie
agent and an extra two-fifty, when it
just happened that one of the ladies ap
pointed a "sole agent" only a little
while before, was visiting the to be
"sole arrt." and though in an adjoin
ing room, overheard the conversation.

WILL BECOME UNINTERESTING.
An Arizona paper says that steer
tving contests are becoming so num
erous in the territory that when a steer
ses a man coming with a rope he lays
down on his back and sticks his feet up
in the air. ready to be tied. They have
learned from experience that there is
no use to run and it is only wear and
tear on their systems to do so. The
rofncifll of the bovines to enter into
the spirit of the spirit of the sport has . ,
taken away the interest In the contests . .
and they will probably be abandoned as
tame and uninteresting. However a . ,
few uninitiated steers will be hunted
up in order to have a tying contest at ;
Phoenix ns a feature of the entertain- , . .
n.nt of President McKlnley when he ,
visits that city.
A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
Hazen Rich, a motorman. was the IT
Tirtim of a nalnful accident near tne 4.
capitol grounds on Sunday night. The
new trolley wire at the turn of the I
street was in need of adjustment at a A
point directly above the trolley. He t
tied the trolley down and by means of I
ladded mounted to the wire, ine
rope gave way and the suddenly re- j T
leased trolley struck the motorman in X
the mouth knocking out a couple of t
teeth and Inflicting other minor in-1 1
juries. Phoenix Republican.
A HUMAN LAMP.
An Arizona legislator is tickling his
constituents by telling that a little girl
at Tempe drank a pint of coal oil. The I
doctors thought she would die. until
one of them hit on a happy expedient.
They slipped a yard or canaiewicK
down into theo!l. lit the upper end.
and during the evening she lighted
the room nicely and then went to bed
all right.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE.
A Tucson paper refers editorially to
a man who had "to rise at 5 a. m. In
the morning." The Phoenix Gazette
says that is not so bad as it might nave
been. If the poor man had been called
upon to get up at 5 a. m. in the even
ing he would have been Justified in
making a kick.

CATTLE STATISTICS.
Secretary J. A. La Rue's report of
the cattle sanitary board of New Mex
ico for 1900 shows that during the year
130.126 head of mostly steer cattle were
sold and removed from the territory,
and 4865 stock cattle were brought in,
"7634 hides" were inspected, not more
than half the number accounted for a
few years ago. The number of strays
' taken possession of by inspectors of the
board and sold for the account of their
owners is becoming less every year, the
total in 1900 being only fifty-seven,
thirty of which have been already paid
for. The brands on the others not be
ing rlearly identified will appear in the
stray list in course of publication. The
special levy for 1901 is 1 mills on the
assessed value of cattle one mill less
than the levy asked for 1900.

We underguessed the quantity that could be readily sold
in our Special Under Muslin Sale of a month ago.. Many of
the garments were "out" the first afternoon and we had to
face disappointed customers the balance of the .week.
Plenty Now to Go Around
because we wiredQpromptly and secured more than double
the garmentswe had before.
THE WHY of this sale is this: The winter
sales in muslin underwear are very light. The
factories would save money to shut down, but
in that event their skilled operatives would be
widely scattered when needed again. For that
reason the shrewdest manufacturers run the
year round and are anxious to cash their win
ter out.put at cost. Big buyers like our Gra
" ham Combination get first pick, because they
can use big quantities. Hence we can afford
to sell muslin underwear in these special sales
just as cheap as any single handed merchant
can buy
