J. W. Powell to the Voters.
I wish to be Mayor of Ballin-
ger for another term in order to
take in the present bonds and
issue bonds at a less rate of
interest, which the Council
through me as mayor has con
traded with parties to carry out
as soon as papers can be arrang-
ed. I learn election is getting a
little warm and hope n© one will
take unfair advantage at this
late hour and make statements
in the county newspapers when
no other issue will come out and
no cliance to reply before the
election
make an"issue against the pres-
ent administration name it and
hour to discuss it at the court
house before the election and I
will gladly meet the issue where
the voters can hear the questions
discussed openly and fairly and
! not in secret or in last issue of
I paper and no chance to reph’.
J. W Powell.
Shot His Wife.
Again it is our pa’nful duty to
chronicle another sad accident.
Mr. Schaffer, a German farmer
residing near Winters on Valley
Creek shot his wife last Sunday
morning, March 29, about 10
p. m.
He had been out shnoting some
prairie dogs and had just re-
turned to the house. He stepped
into the room opposite the one in
W'hich his wife was standing
combing their little girls hair.
As he started into the room
in which his wife was standing
he was trying to push in a shell
which was too large. A load of
5;shot lodged in the back of his
wife's head. Just how came
his gun to fire he is unable to
tell.
► Her remains were interred
Sunday afternoon at the Winters
cemetery.
Mr. Schaffer is almost crazed
with grief over the sad occur-
rence.
