the misery and caused the thirs-
ty ones much foaming at the
month and other well known signs
of madness.
Since the first of July beer has
been obtainable from Kansas City
St. Louis, and other points out of
the state, and owing to the dis-
tance to be traversed, it has been
ordered in large quantities and
shipped by freight. The shipments
were at first made in the same
manner as other freight—sent
out with a draft and a bill of lad-
attached, to be handled thru
th local banks. At first the banks
handled the business but they
soon developed cold feet and quit
the practice, when it was pointed
out that this made bootleggers of
the bankers and enabled people to
buv beer in Brownwood.
Recently nearly fifty , casks of
beer were shipped to Brownwood
from Misonri, and the drafts, with
bill of lading attached were sent
to a loenl bank. The shipper was
slick. ‘Attached to the draft was

Washington, Aug. 4.—Secretary
Bryan announced today the accept
ance of the resignation of Henry
Lane Wilson as ambassador to
Mexico.
"'AmbassadorWilson's resigna-
tion has been accepted to take ef-
fect Oct. 14 The part which he
felt it his duty to take in the ear-
lier stages of the recent revolu-
tion in Mexico would make it dif-
ficult for him to represent admin-
istration on the situation as it now
exists.”
The resignation will be follow-
ed by an announcement of policy
toward Mexico by President Wil-
son. No intimation of what the
announcement would be was per-
mitted to leak out, but there were
assurances that armed interven-
tion was out of the question, the
announcement would deal with
this Government’s attitude to-
ward exports of arms to Mexico.
When he was recalled from
Mexico City less than a month
ago, “for consultation,” as the of-
ficials announcement said, it was
freely predicted that he would
not return. Those predictions
were strengthened by the free
manner in which he publicly dis-
cussed Mexican conditions.

BABE FALLS FROM BED
AND GOUGES OUT EYE
Stamford. Aug. 4.—A most dis-
tressing accident occurred to the
infant of Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Pitts
of Mellarg avenue in this city
late yesterday evening . The lit-
tle one was lying on the bed.
When it awoke it turned over
and fell out. The child's head
struck upon a nursing bottle ly-
ing on the floor, breaking the
bottle and cutting such a severe
gash in the babe’s face that it was
necessary to remove an eye. At-
tending physicians say that the'
child will recover unless complica
tions arise.
