page in the Chronicle in telling
the public of the advantages and
merits of cold pressed cotton-

IN THE WRONG PEW.
Down at Waco recently the
manager of a moving picture
show found a man in'front of
his place of business with a
big gum When * questioned as
tQ. his intentions he stated that
his wife was in the show with
another man and. he wjis qply
waiting for them to come out so
that he could shoot the day. light
out of the man. In order to
avert a tragedy the show man
went back inside and stated
these facts to the audience and
suggested that the fellow who
was there with some other
man’s wife had better hike out
the back door and make his es-
cape down the alley. Just
fifteen mdn fell over each other
getting out andrjmft fifteen
married ladies were left to make
their way home alone.—Hamlin

Has Finger Amputated.
H. E. Bell, an employ of the
Smith market, had the misfor-
tune to get the middle finger of
his right hand entangled in a
sausage mill and had it ba3ly
lacerated and mashed. The
wound was thought to be doing
all right until some two weets,
ago when blood poisoning set up.
This, of course, necessitated an
amputation"~which was perform-
ed on Oct 28. He still suffered
severely with the wound, until
he had the finger lanced Wednes-
day afternoon, and is thought
and hoped that he will now re-
cover without serious results.
