AFFRAY AT CREWS
Bullet From a Constable's Rifle
Wounded Woman and Man.
OFFICER ALSO INJURED
After Having His Throat Cut Constable
Miller Beat Up and Tfaea Shot
His Asia Hast
Ballinger Tex. Aug. 21. Dr.
. A. S. Love Sheriff Kirk and Coun-
ty Attorney Griggs left here Tues-
day morning in an automobile for
. Crews in response to a phone mes-
sage from that place telling of a
serious shooting and cutting
scrape that occurred there about
9 o 'clock that morning.
From what can be learned of
- the affair Constable Miller and
E. C. Boone became involved in a
difficulty Boone cutting Miller's
throat partially severing the wind
pipe. Miller broke Boone's arm
and beat him up with a six-shoot-er
and later shot him in the hip
with a Savage rifle the ball from
.the rifle passing through Boone's
hip and striking Mrs. W. P.
Vaughan seriously injuring her.
Mrs. Vaughan was in no way con-
nected with the trouble but was
about 400 yards from where the
fight occurred and happened to
be in the path of the bullet from
the rifle.
Crews is about eighteen miles
. north of Ballinge in this county
and the people are all prominent
in that community. Boone has
been in the blacksmith business at
Crews for eight or ten years.
Requests Proof. e
Father Cusick requests that Mr.
Skinner prove the charges he
made against the Catholic church
in Mexico.
4 'I once more challenge Mr. Skin-
ner to prove that the poor peons
are deluded" in the practice of
their religion. That they pay for
the forgiveness; and that the
money that was expended in deco-
rating the church of Our Lady of
Gaudaloupe was extorted from
the people. He does not say that
the money was extorted from the
people but he implies that it was
in his manner of expression.
"If Mr. Skinner can not prove
these charges he made against the
church let hiii! disprove the fol-
' lowing:
''These poor peons are hot de-
luded in auv manner about this
. -religious act (confession) or any
other part of their religion.
. 'They do not have to pay for
the forgiveness in any way;
neither is money required of them
for forgiveness under any condi-
tion ami such a practice never ex-
isted at any time in the Catholic
church.
"The money used in repairing'
and decorating the church of Our
. Lady of Gaudaloupe was collect-;
ed by Rt. Rev. Abbit Plancarte :
"who went about giving lectures
and asking for donations to be I
made towards repairing and beau-
tifying this bid Shrine. The peo-
ple gave liberally and in a reason-
able time he had collected a large
sum of money but a great amount
of it came from private donations.
The whole amount collected would
be equal to one million dollars in
our money. This is where the
money came from and was not ex-
torted from the people as we were
given to understand.
Sincerely.
Father Cusick.

SANTA FE DEPOT
Freight Offices Will Be Moved
to Another Portion of Yards
NEAR BR0WNW00D FLOUR MILL
Bridge Gang Will Tear Freight' Depot
Into Sections and Move on Flat
Cars to New Location.
The local officials of the Santa
Fe railroad have received in-
structions to the effect that the
freight building and offices will
be moved from its present loca-
tion to a point between the side
tracks of the Brownwood Mill &
Elevator Co. and the main line.
Engineer Camp Bernay and
his party of surveyors are in the
city and are today making the
surveys for- the change of the
freight depot. The building
will be divided into two sections
and .placed on flat cars and
switched to the sidetrack near
its future location. The bridge
gang of the road is at present in
San Angelo moving a building
and as soon as that work is com-
pleted which will be one day
this week the gang will come to
Brownwoodand begin the work
here.
The change of the freight
depot will give the road .consid-
erable space for additional side
tracks something the yard
master here has been begging
for for the past two years .
OIL PROSPECTS GOOD
Well Near Trickham Showing Up
Oil in Paying Quantities.
II. ti. Benson and Fred W. Tur-
ner promoters of the Santa Anna
Industrial Company were in the
city Monday on business. They
rendered rosy reports of the oil
prospects near Trickham when
interviewed by a Standard re-
porter A depth of 1400 feet has
been reached in the well one mile
west of Trickham. The driller
has passed through 2S0 feet of
limestone into a formation of
shal lim and sand which is fine
dirt for oil. A formation of sand
is -expected below this and when
the cap rock is penetrated a very
strong gas pressure is expected
which in all probability will be
followed by oil. This is indicated
by the presence of oil every time
the bailer is emptied and "a strong
odor of petroleum. Gas pressure
has been encountered twice with-
in the last ten or fifteen feet and
very strong gas pressures were
encountered at a depth of 978
it120 and 1380 feet. When the
bailer is emptied the gas bubbles
cm be readily ignited.
Work on the well has been de-
layed for two weeks on account
of the. illness of the driller but an-
other driller has been 'employed
and tile work will be pushed rap-
idly. At present the oil is oozing
out of the well as the hole is full
of wajer.
The; oil showing at present is so
encourging that the company has
found it advisable to lease addi-
tional Hand in adjacent territory
ThWoil found so far is too liiirli
a grade to be burned . in locomo
tiv.es out win no easjiv used m
stationary plants
. If the expectations of this com
pany is realized San Angelo will
be well supplied with fuel from
the oil ami gas therefrom within
easy reach of the city.
Mr Turner states that about a
third of a crop of cotton will be
raised in the territory tributary to
Santa Anna this year -which will
be about 6000 bales. He esti-
mates that there is 40000 acres in
cotton in the Santa Anna terri-
tor'. Mr. Turner says that there
will be fairly good feed crops rais-
ed without any more rain San

the subjoined description of a nati.-
meeUng sent home by a missionary i.
would appear that native generosi;.
although of a rough and tumble char
acter is distinctly productive of ways
and means:
"Recently 1 attended a native tea
meeting at which more than 12 was
raised by this very poor congregation.
Their way of doing it was charaeterls
tic and amusing. They paid 2 shillings
to sit down to tea. Then some one
would pay 3 shillings for such and
such a man to be required to get up
again and leave the table. The man
thus assailed would pay 3s. Gd. for
leave to sit down again. There was a
special table at which six could sit.
paying an extra shilling each for tin;
privilege. They had just got seated
when n man paid T shillings to clear
them out. and they paid another 8 shil-
lings to sit on and so It went on. They
arrange all this themselves and thh U
their way; of trlvlng to the cause. On
man had a tin of sirup. lie said he
would pay 'i shilling to pour It over
another man's head who had got him-
self up well In a large collar etc.: this
man paid 3 shillings to be let off. tie
first man 1 shillings again to do It. the
other. r shilling to escape the first C
shillings to do It and did it. and. oh.

HUNTING MAHOGANY.
It Takes an Experienced Woodiman to
Locate the Trees.
Mahogany trees do not grow In clus-
ters but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden Jn a dense growth
of underbrush vines and creepers and
require a skillful and experienced
woodsman to And them. He seeks the
highest ground In a forest climbs to
the top of the tallest tree and survv
the surrounding country. The mahog-
any has a peculiar foliage and bte
practiced eye soon detects the tree
within sight
The axmen follow the hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers a
large mahogany taking two men a full
day to fell It. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at It
base and scaffolds must be erected so
that the tree can be cut off above the
spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fif-
teen feet high which is sheer waste
as the stump really contains the best
lumber.
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work of cutUng or removing the
tree his duty being simply to locate
it If he Is clever and energetic his
remuneration may amount to $500 or
$1000 a month but he may traveV
weeks at a time without detecting a
tree and as he Is generally paid by
results his earnings are rather precari-
ous. St Louis Republic.

Brazilian cocoanut palms live for
