residence otf his brother, United

the effects of excessive heat or from, a
drug administered by revengeful enemies.
Tt is 'said Mr. Alger has been instru-
mental in suppressing the work of so-
called "green goods” men who- have oper-
ated in Missouri of late, and it is feared
hits condition is the result of drugs they
may secretly have administered to him.

with representatives of the green- goods
men in Cleveland..
At that city he said he was robbed of
his pocketbook and a considerable sum
af money. Later, while paying his bill at
the cashier's desk, he was taken ill, and

Just haw the .shooting occurred and the
immediate causes leading up- to- it are dif-
ficult to- learn. There were a number of
women in the house at the: time, but none
of them appear to- have witnessed the
tragedy, which occurred in the room
known as “the back parlor,” on the
ground floor. This morning the women
were so uplset tha.t it was- practically im-
po'ssi'bl© to secure a coherent -account of
the affair. The woman who did the shoot-
ing is1 on the verge of a nervous collapse
aindi is in no physical or mental condition
to- give an account of her actions.
It s-eiemls that deceased has been a con-
stant visitor to the establishment.1 He has
had repeated quarrels with the woman,
who .seemed tio be afraid of him. From all
that could be learned the dead man was
possessed of an insane and dangerous pas-
sion for the woman, which lead to many
Violent quarrels. Last night he visited the
house as was his iCuStom. He annlve'd
there -about 9 of clock and there appears to
■have been no- violent -disturbance1 until the
shooting olccurredc Deceased is said by a
witness to have slapped th-e woman's fa-ce
and the outlook was- good for a quarrel,
but none of the inmates aippeared to have
anticipated such a denouement as oc-
curred. Im fact, the two- were alone when
the tragedy happened and the first that
was known of >it was the reports -of the
pistol' -and when the woman rushed out
iwdth a pistol in her hand and announced
that she had shot him. Why she shot him
she wta too- agitated to tell.
iPolice Officer Tom Martin, on
beat "The Club” ds located, heard
shots and ran to the house to learn
cause af the disturbance. He told
story to the coroner in this way:
“I was on the Church .street beat about
imlidnight and I heard a number of shots
fired, frclm 2710 Church street and counted
five. The shots were fired from the house
occupied by Cordn'nei Wilson. I ran into
the front door and met Corinne on the
inside of the -dioor. iShe ran up to me and
said: ‘I have .shot him.; I have'killed him.’
IShe had a pistol in her ha.nd. I took her
to the door cif the room where the killing
occurred,- which d.s the parlor, down stairs.
She pointed -out the decelalsed sitting on
the sofa with his back to- the wall and his
ainm on the right rung, of the sofa, with
his head drooping. I arrested Corinne Wil-
son and telephoned the police station. He
'was sitting in the. same position ais when
the coroner arrived. At the station we
found five chambers in the pistol that
Corinne had discharged!. I have examined
the balls taken from the body and find
that they arei of the same size as was the
•pistol taken from the hand of Corinne
when I entered the house. While three, of
the balls took effect in the body, two- flew
wide, one striking the wall behind
man and one soime eight or ten feet to
left. I found a number of women in
house when I arrived.”

Dr, Gammon suimcmoned to make an

July is1 the month of watermelons and
crabs. The former are in evidence, while
there is a noticeable lack of the latter.
“The past week has helped the mater-
melonis greatly,” said a farmer who has
quite a large watermelon patch across the
bay, “and I think in about two weeks wa-
termelons will be in great shape. Already
we have shipped a considerable number
away, while we find a steady demand in
Galveston -and vicinity. The vegetable
boats that ply between Galveston and the
points across on the mainland bring any
number of melons into market and dispose
of them as readily as tempting hot cakes.
“There is no better melon than our Boli-
var melon, for, though the Georgia melons
are larger, they are no- sweeter than our
product. I have seen melons from around
Austin that weighed from twelve to six-
teen and eighteen pounds. I have a new
