TEXAS STATE NEWS
BroAvnsville — Serviando Canles,
charged with the killing of Juan Mar-
tinez, near Santa Monica, was con-
victed of manslaughter and sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary. This
is the first killing case to be taken- up
at the present term of the District
Court.
Giddings — Bernice, t he little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jessie Ran-
dolph, was on an elevator on which a
large amount of grain was being car-
ried to the second story of the J. B.
Hillsman store, unobserved by her fa-
ther, who was pulling it up, and her
head was fastened between the ceil-
ing and the elevator floor. She
screamed and the elevator was locked
so quick that it took several minutes
to release it. Meanwhile the little girl
was held tight with the back of ner
head to the ceiling and her nose on
the edge of the elevator. An ugly
gash was cut in her nose. Had the
child’s father failed to stop the ele-
vator just at the time he did it would
have crushed the child’s skull.
Stamford—A report just received
says that a good flow of oil has been
found on the Bunkley ranch, ten
miles east of Stamford. The vein was
struck at a depth of 670 feet and has
risen fifty feet. The owners of the
well are highly elated and much in-
terest is being manifested here.
Bumet—Harris Duncan sold 700
head of 3-year-old steers to Fort
Worth parties at private figures. This
is the largest herd of steers in the
county of that age, and brought good
prices. The cattle buyers are drop-
ping in very rapidly to this section.
Burnet county is noted for its good
cattle and the mesquite grass pro-
duces some good specimens. The west-
ern and northern .sections of 'the
county is largely given to the cattle
industry, and many thousand head
go from this county to the market
and foreign buyers every year.
Crystal City—In the county seat
election held here to determine
whether or not the county seat of
Zavala county should be moved from
Batesville to Crystal City the latter
place lacked only twenty-five votes of
getting the necessary two-thirds of
all votes cast. Crystal City received
342 votes, Batesville 19 8, LaPryor
9. To show the relative strength of
these three towns, Crystal City polled
271 votes, Batesville 9 8 and La-
Pryor 5 5. Crystal City people are
proud of their little city in that the
ballot showed only two adverse votes.
While disappointed over the result of
the election, yet the people of this
city are not discouraged. They have
already lived over their failure to get
the two-thirds and have gone to -work
to build a city of 10,000.
Oklahoma City, Okla,, May 6.—As
detailed reports come in the extent of
devastation and loss of life and prop-
erty from last Saturday’s tornado in-
crease and news from many places
now inaccessible on account of high
water and destruction of telephone
lines probably will show additions to
the losses already tabulated.
It is now known that twenty towns
were struck by the storm which swept
northward from Texas, through por-
tions of Southwestern and Central
Oklahoma; that two of them, Butler
I and Foss, were literally wiped out
j and sixty dead and a hundred in-
I jured are accounted for. Other deaths
are reported, but cannot be verified,
because torrential rains swelled
streams out of their banks in the
wake of the tornado, preventing res-
cue parties exploring whole sections.
Fifteen Killed in One Town.
The greatest loss of life reported is
at Lugert, where it is said fifteen per-
sons were killed outright. A special
train sent from Altus with physicians
and nurses, when it was reported a
passenger train had been blown from
the rails, picked up ten injured per-
sons and started back for Altus. Two
of these Mrs. Lee Stanaland and Miss
Eva Stanaland, died on the train. It
was reported a Kansas City, Mexico
& Orient train had been blown from
the track and twenty persons killed,
but it developed that but two cars
had been derailed and no one was
hurt.

er than to wait for a passenger

ing unable to lift him, she called for

to locate the county lines.

Tomlinson’s Letter.
Simmons’ Liver Purifier is the
most valuable remedy I ever tried
for constipation and disordered liver.
It does its work thoroughly, but does
not gripe like most remedies of its
character. I certainly recommend it
i whenever the opportunity occurs.

“Nails are a mighty good thing—
particularly finger nails—but I don’t
believe they were intended solely for
scratching, though I used mine large-

I was sorely affllicted, and had it to
do. One application of Hunt’s Cure,
however, relieved my itch, and less
than one box cured me entirely.”
