Dear Sir:
Our fellow townsmen, Chas.
Schuwirth, is just back from your
city, and speaks most favorably
of the sanitary conditions thereof,
and ot the cheap and simple man-
ner in which your city govern-
ment is conducted.
Since we desire to incorporate,
but must have it on the most
economical plan so as to satisfy
the “wise and cautious,” I would
be very much obliged to you
you would send me a copy
your articles of incorporation.
Very Respectfully,

Everybody knows that it pays big to kill the prairie
dogs and the question is, "what kills them best?”
There is no doubt but that
BASS PRAIRIE DOG POISON
is the most successful, they eat it and it kills them.
Ir interested call on J. Y. Pearce, at Ballinger, and talk
the matter over with him. It is easier to kill with Bass
Poison than with any other.

Geo. West, a one-legged man
hailing from Comanche, was ar-
rested here Friday night tor
smashing the window lights in
the front of the. “Horseshoe” sa-
loon. It seems that West, like
Mrs. Nation, has been endeavor-
ing to put the saloons out of busi-
ness, his plan differing from hers,
however, in that his idea was to
drink all their liquors instead of
breaking in the barrel heads and
spilling it in the gutter. He was
performing this duty valiantly,
but over-estimated his ability,
hnd the whiskey got the better ot
him before he had accomplished
his purpose- He was ejected
from the “Horseshoe” on account
of creating a disturbance, which
so angered him that he removed
his wooden leg and proceeded to
punch out nearlv all the lights in
the front. In endeavoring to
persuade him to desist, some one,
we are unable to learn who, beat
him over the head with a six* *
shooter, making several very
ugly wounds.
He was fined J5 00 and costs
next day in the justice court,
id wtifch he is now lying out in jail.
