frank kubeana slain. I negro woman wounded
Ki-.
Well Known Fanner Victim of
Unknown Assassin.
Lying in the bottom of his
wagon with his head battered in,
Frank Kubeana, a^weli' known
and prosperous fanner of the
Smothers creek community,
was found dead Wednes-
day night about ten o’clock
by members of his family who
had gone in search of him when
they had become alarmed at his
absence. A piece of flint rock,
blood stained, gave mute evi-
dence of the manner in which
Kubeana had met his fate.
Kubeana had gone from his
home to Wied, a distance of
about five miles, to market cot-
ton. He sold his cotton, A and
drawing $15 of the money, had
begun the homeward journey
shortly before sundown. Fail-
ing to arrive at home, members
of his family became alarmed
and started in search of * him.
Finding no trace of him on the
road, the journey was continued
to Wied, where the searching
party was informed of his de^
parture some: hours ,; before.
They then returned home, se-
cured a lantern, and continued
the search. The wagon was dis-
covered a short distance from
the house and in it was the dead
body, of Kubeana. A search of
the body revealed the absence of
the money; which had been se-
cured at Wied, and the theory of
the officers is that fhe motive of
crime was robbery.
Sheriff Houchins was notified
early Thursday morning, and
with Justice Peterson imme-
diately repaired to the scene.
An inquest was held, and the
verdict was thes deceased had
met his death at the hands cif
unknown parties, and the theory
of robbery was advanced. Sher-
iff Houchins returned to town,
organized a posse and left in j
Julius,Appelt’s automobile to try
and obtain a clue to the perpe-
trator of the deed.
Died in Sap Antonio.
W. M. Whorton, a resident of
Robert Sauls Shoots Sister-in-: this city for many years, died in
Law and Attempts to ! San Antonio Monday following a
Kill Wife. i surgical operation which he un-
Robert Sauls, a negro who has
figured more or less prominently
derwent last week. Mr. Whor-
ton had beemin bad health for
in the courts for several years,j several years, and was recently
is again a fugitive from justice taken to San Antonio for treat-
and officers *have offered a re-
ward of $25 fojj his apprehension.
. As is usual with the incorrigi-
ble Robert, domestic affairs are
at the bottom of his troubles, and
in attempting to make way with
ment The physicians there
deemed an operation the only
expedient by which his life
might be sav^d, and Thursday
of last week an operation was
performed. This, however,
Accidentally Killed.
Mrs. Baros, wife of Joseph
Baros, a farmer residing near
Shiner, accidentally shot and
killed herself at the^ home of a
neighbor Tuesday night. Mrs.
Baros and children had gone to
spend the night with the neigh-
bor, Mr. Baros having left in the
evening for Westhoff with a load
of corn. During the night Mrs.
Baros got up and walked out on
the gallery and in seme manner
upset a gun which had been left
there, The charge of the gun
entered her left side almost corh-
pletely tearing away the left
arm. She only lived a few min-
utes after the accident.
Mrs. Baros was a sister-in-law
of Mrs. Frank Shimek of this
city, and Mr. and Mrs. Shimek
his wife Monday night he shot proved of no avail and after
and severely wounded Ella Rich- lingering until Montiav, Mr.
ardson, his sister-in-law. Whorton died -
Monday night white returning ! The deceased was well known
from a negro funeral hear Bres- j here, and for a great number of
lau, .Sauls rode up to a wagon years conducted a farm near
occupied by his wife, the Rich-!1 town. In recent years he had
ardson women and two others, h#d the contract for sprinkling}attended the funeral, which was
and without warning fired into the' streets of Hallettsville, and ! held yesterday,
the bunch. Ella Richardson was before becoming incapacitated '' i
struck by a bullet which entered for work, his time was given

dragged his wile from the wag- j The* remains were shipped here
on, remarking at the time he-from San Antonio Monday nighty
was going to kill her and then; and interred in the afternoon

climb, over a fence, the women
jerked the pistol from.his hand
and threw it .away. While Sauls
went for it the women deemed it
the proper time to evacuate the
premises and beat a retreat at
great haste. Seeing ’ he had
at Moore cemetery, the funeral
services being conducted by the
Woodmen of the World, of which

death of Mr. Wharton was the

Russian Premia* Dies of
Wounds.

Kiev, Sept. 18.—The Russian
Premier, Prter A. Stolypin, died
tonight from bullet wounds re-
ceived at the hands of an assas-
sin during a gala performance at
the Municipal Theater Thursday
evening. The official time of his
death was announced at 10:12 p.
m., New York.
Almost until the last the Pre-
mier was conscious and for half
an hour during the early part of
the evening his wife alone was
at the bedside."
SUFFERS GREATLY.
Towards the end M. Stolypin
suffered greatly. He groaned
incessantly and. threw himself
about on the couch on which he
lay. Finally the heart action
became weaker and as the body
grew cold thfr premier realized
death was overtaking him. At a
lucid interval a priest adminis1-

At a called meeting of the city
council last night an order was
passed that forbids any but city
officers to use the jail.
Stripped of its formal verbiage
the Prder means that those per-,
sons who may be arrested by the
city marhal or his deputies may
be confined in the city jail hut
that persons arrested by the con-
stables or deputy sheriffs may
not be lodged in thp city jail, un-
less they be arrested on a charge
involving felony.
Which means that if you want
to be arrested at all you had bet-
tea let the city officers arrest
you. If you do you can have the
“comforts” of the city jail
Whereas if the county officers
take you in tow you may have to
be tied to a tree. - Yoakum Her-

DON'T POISON YOURSELF
WITH MERCURY. .
That’. What You May Do If
You Take Calomel, Be-
cause Calomel is a ,
Form of Mercury
If you ssk a druggist for bi-chloride
of mercury; be wiH give it to you in a
red label bottle marked POISON. Gab
, omel is also a chloride of mercury, as
your doctor wi>l tell you, and, as every-
body knows, mercury is a poisorr.
Wh^n you think yon need a dose of
calomel, instead of whipping your liver
up with the mercury it contains, go to
Gty drug store and pay fifty cents for
a bottle of Dodson’s Liver-Tone, a pure
vegetable liquid that starts the liver
to action just as surely as calomel does
and is perfectly mild and harmless,
with to bad ; after-effects. ?No restric-
tion of habit or diet is necessary.
Dodson's Liver-Tone gives such per-
fect iStisfaction in curing constipation
and torpid liver that City drug store
will give the money back to any person
who' tries it and does not find it a per-
fect substitute for calomel.

Mr. Whorton is survived J- by
eleven children, his wife having
died several years ago, who are
as follows: Mrs. Geo; Nelson,
Mrs. Hector Bull, Mrs, Chas.
Jahn, Hulda, Gladys, Lula, Mike,
Wesley, Henry, Charlie and Louie
Whorton.
Premature reports of the pre-
mier’s death were current hours
beiore it occurred. Several mis-
sions and embassies were misled
by these reports and notified
their governments. The author-
ities at first decided to conceal
the news of the premier’s death
until morning, fearing anti-Jew-
ish outbreaks. This was found
to be impossible, and after the
announcement was made all the
attention of the authorities was
centered in the protection of the
Jews.
