MACK RICHARDSON
COMMITS SUICIDE
NOTE LEFT SAYING
ABLE SINCE LAST NOVEMBER.
Special to
San Antoxic, Texas, June 8.
Mack Richardson, late lieutenant
of Company E, Twenty sixth In
fantry, who received notice from
the War Department Thursday
evening that his resignation had
been accepted, was found uncon
scious and with life at its lowest
ebb in his room at the bachelor
officers' quarters at Fort Sam
Houston yesterday morning at 9
o'clock. .
Bottles of morphine and prussic
acid were found in the room, and
the post physician said his condi
tion was due to the fact that he
had swallowed these drugs. He
died at 11:10 last night.
Richardson was found, by the
boy who came to bring him his
breakfast, he was lying on his bed
partly dressed and appeared to be
dead.
The boy tried to arouse him, but
finding that impossible, he sum
monsd the post physicians, who
came hurriedly and administered
every possible aid to the man. He
was moved to the post, hospital
where the physicians did all in
their power to revive him.

Hn. Leihy Gives Strong Testimony Be
fore the Senate Committee Inves
, tigating the Outrage Commit
ted By Negro Soldiers.
Washington, June 6. Mrs. Em
ma Leahy, proprietor of the Leahy
Hotel in Brownsville, Tex., told
the Senate Committee on Military
Affairs today that she believes she
could identify one of the former
negro soldiers as a member of the
group that shot up that town.
After hearing firing at the gar
rison and seeing the flashes of guns
she said she saw sixteen men in
kabki uniforms in the Cowan Alley
shooting into the Cowan house.
She was in-a window of her hotel,
about forty feet away and two of
the men looked up while she was
watching them. Just at. that mo
ment several shots were fired by
members of the group and she said
she saw the two men distinctly.
One was very black and the other
a mulatto. The. latter had large
spots on. his (ace, and" sjje is sure
she could, recognize him if she
should see him .again.

ing note:
"To whom it may concern: This
action has been inevitable
last November."
since
It was rumored in Brownsville
this afternoon that Richardson was
murdered and the poison and note
left to make it appear like suicide,
but there is no confirmation of the
rumor.
Lieut. Richardson was well
known here, having been stationed
at Fort Brown for about two years.
His suicide is the sequel of the
strange case of a broken engage
tnent to marry a young lady of
this city, which had progressed to
the very day for which the wed
ding was set. The exact cause of
his action has never been made
public, but it is known that
I Richardson was placed under ar
rest at Fort Sam Houston at the
time, (and afterwards the com
tnanding officer of this division
asked , for his resignation on ac
count of being guilty of conduct
unbecoming an, officer and a gen
tleman. He leaves a mother, an invalid

of Ordnance, this morning gave ex
pert testimony concerning the shells
and. "Bullets secured in that city
against the negro soldiers who
were quartered there and charged
with shooting up the town. He
glso testified concerning the length
of-time -required to clean army
rifles after' they had been fired sev
eral'times. . The latter testimony
contradicts nearly all of the forrae
negroes who were put on the stand
by Senator Feraker, in that it was
shown that six minutes was the
maximum time required in nearly
a dozen tests. In one of the tests a
gun was cleaned in less than one
minute.
From the miscroscopical exami
nation of the bullets and shells
picked up in Brownsville, General
Crozier said that none of these
could have been fired from a Re
mington, Winchester or Mauser.
From the bullets alone it was ini
possible to say whether they had
been fired fiom a Krag or from a
Springfield. He said, however, that
if the bullets taken from the walls
had been discharged from cart
ridges picked up in the streets, the
combination of tne two circum
stances showed conclusively that
they must have been fired from the
Springfield gun, of tbe model used
by the soldiers.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deamess is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus4
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam'
e'd you have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearing, and -when it is entirely clos
ed; Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars fcr
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh

GREAT PROGRESS
IN TEXAS
Farmers Market Hogs That Sell
for $125 Each.
South Texas Products Are Booming this
Section All Over the United States.
Developments Have Been Rapid
During the Past Three Years.
A farmer in Guadalupe County
raises hogs that sell at $125 each,
and-it is probably safe to say that
he finds the industry profitable.
Compare one of these Berkshire
hogs of the blue blood breed with
the razor back of a previous period
and then think of the improvement
of the range cattle of the present
day as compared with the old-time
long-horns that have now almost
entirely disappeared and some idea
of the progress Texas has made in
the past few years may be had.
It would take a great many razor
back hogs to amount to as much
in the aggregate as the sum for
which the Guadalupe farmer sells
one of bis Berkshire porkers, yet
the razor back would probably eat
as. tnncTi and be just as expensive
to raise. It required time for the
Texas cattlemen to realize that it
would be to their advantage to im
prove their breed of cattle, but they
have profited by the knowledge
and they are still improving their
lire stock and still profiting.
For years the newspapers urged
the farmers to diversify their crops,
to plant less cotton and more hogs,
to keep their barns and smoke
house at home instead of relying
upon the commission merchant and
the corner grocery to provide them
with the feed and provisions upon
which to make a crop. They ha e
begun to learn how to live at home
and board at the same place and to
have meat and produce to seil to
consumers in Texas and oit of
Texas. They now have cash money
coming in all spring and summer
as well as during-the fall and win
ter months while their cotton is
being marketed.
