EXHIBITION OF AUTOMOBILES
IN TEMPLE YESTERDAY
Yesterday was "field day" for au-
tomobile-bugs in this domain. There
were cars of all makes, speeds, shap-
es and colors on the Btreets. They
carat' from • every direction as far
South as San Antonio and North as
Waco. The chaffeurs Clutched and
sputtered the machines and tooted
horns ranging in key from a tin
whistle to muteical fog-sirens a ml
from time to time would rest suffi-
ciently long to remove the hoods cov-
ering the "works" which they would
explain in minute detail while the
crowds crowded around and rubbered.
This must a "proven territory," be-
cause in most instances, the machines
were here in charge of expert sales-
men. No trades were actually clos-
ed. but. some of the lociil hugs ex-
pericnced narrow escapes. If they
continue hanging around every new
brand of honk-honk that comes to
town, some of these days right soon,
some demonstrator will come along
anil hang them for a hunk of their
bank rolls.

FOSIE CHS IS-
HI
Mr. W. Poste Can- of the Temple
Electric Co. has received a copy of
the Suffolk (Va.) Herald containing
an account of a terrific triangular
duel in which his brother-in-law, Mr.
Brlnkley, chief of police at Suffolk
and a brother offieir, Dennis, partici-
pated against a drug-crazed negro.
The negro's death resulted from the
gun-flght. Chief Brinkley was se-
verely wounded by bullets from the
negro's revolver from which, howev-
er, his recovery is expected. Officer
Dennis was more seriously wounded,
perhaps fatally in the end.
Origin of the Trouble.
The light grew out of an attempt
to arrest the negro, Smith by name,
who had only recently been released
from the insane asylum in North
Carolina. The uegro and another of
his race had quarreled previously and
the first Had procured a * revolver
which he was displaying at a grocery
store, and uttering threats against
any officers who might attempt his
arrest. Officers were summoned.and
the terrible fight ensued.
By another coincidence, Paul Carr
mentioned in the report, a clerk at
the grocery store where the fight
occurred, is a brother of Mr. Carr
hue. That part of the story describ-
ing the encounter is republished, as
follows:
Shortly before ten o'clock Police-
man Dennis entered the store to ar-
rest Smith, but Mr. Oliver warned
him of Smith's gun. Dennis then left
the store and returned later accom-
panied by Chief Brinkley, who walked
directly back to the office of Mr, OIK
ver in the rear of the store, and talk-
ed with Mr, Oliver a few moments,
when Smith and Dennis began firing
Smith's bullet taking effect striking
Denuis just over the left eye and
crashing through the skull rested up-
on his brain. Dennis fell prostrated
to I lie floor iu a pool of his own bloodj
but while he was falling he fired
again, the bullet striking the negro
Charles, the infant son of Mr. and j according to some testimony. Chief
Brinkley then opened fire but the
shots from the negro's guu were first
to take effect striking Brinkley iu
the face and nose. As he fell he and
the negro clinched, the negro being
on top of Brinkley when they hit the
floor. He grabbed Brinkley by the
throat to wrench his gun from him
but the plucky officer held the wea-
pon with a death-like grip calling at
the same time for help. Mr. Oliver
rushed forward and grabbed the ne-
gro as Paul Carr his salesman struck
him with a meat cleaver. Brinkley
managed to get upon his knees and
though blinded with his own blood he
managed to fire again which put an
end to the negro's life.
As Dennis lay upon the floor near-
by and saw his brother officer go
down before the desperate negro he
tried time and again to arise to assist
him but he was growing weaker all
the time. Brinkley walked over to
Dennis who was laying helpless on
the floor and calPcd for assistance to
get him to the doctor, when Dennis
Mrs. C. L. Heard, is suffering from
the effect of a nail stuck in his foot
on Wednesday. Fears were at first
entertained of tetanus but the little
fellow is now considered in no dan-
ger.
<3> <$>
Mrs. EameA Walker, who has been
the guest of her sister-in-law, Mrs.
W. W. Crawford, returned yesterday
to her home at Lampasas. Mrs.
Walker came to be at the bedside of
her brother. Mr. M. Wolf, who un-
derwent an appendiceal operation at
one of tlie local hospitals in the early
week.

SENIOR 6IRLS IN
BASKET BILL TONIGHT
"Now, you're talking to me!" The
real thing will happen tonight when
in the Y. M. C. A. gym picked teams
from the young ladies of the High
School classes will get Into the basket
ball limelight. It is safe to predict
that there will be present for this
session many to whom heretofore
this strenuous game has been only a
vague mysticism; who have read of
games being played, scores made and
glories won on the diagram, and Hut
was all—to them. But It will be dif-
ferent tonight. "Boys is one thing,
but. girls Is girls."
Preachers and Professors, Too.
And there will be a set-to between
the Preachers and the "Perfeasers,"
too. This will be a hammer-and-
tongs affair, according with the me-
thods employed, generally, by those in
the respective lofty callings.
The pedagogues will ring-in some
oldtime "stars" and the preachers
know a lot of solars that have nev-
er been plexed.
And, it should be stated also, that
the high school girls have been in
hard training for this occasion for
some time. This accounts for the
fact that recently pickles have been
a drug on the market.
On account of the extraordinary
features constituting the program to-
night, and admission of 15 cents wift
be charged. The net proceeds, after
applying a proportion to repairs to
the gym calculated to be necessary
Immediately after the cessation of
hostilities, will be expended iu the
purchase of new "rats" and white-
chokers.

got
were both hurried to Dr. Gibson's of-
fice where several physicians were
summoned. It. was found that a bul-
let had entered Dennis' skull barely
missing the bre'i. He was removed
to his home on Pinner street. He has
never lost consciousness throughout
the terrible ordeal.
Brlnkley's wounds wre dressed and
he walked to his home which is only
a few doors from the doctor's office
and as he passed out he remarked
"They haven't got the old boy yet."
This makes seven men that Brinkley
has killed yet never until he was
cornered and had to kill to save his
life. He has been chief of police in
Suffolk for years and has been one
of the most nervy men that has ever
worn a uniform. One man remarked
yesterday that he had enough pluck
and nerve about him to supply half
the town of Suffolk. Assistant Ed-
ward Dennis has made Suffolk an ef-
ficient officer for over 16 years and
is well liked by all who know him and
is of the calibre who know no fear.
Coroner's Jury Exonerated Officers.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
which immediately investigated the
affair was complete exoneration of
the officers, declaring their acts to
have been iu self defense and per-
formance of their sworn duty.
In the same issue of the Herald,
the occurence was referred to editor-
ially, commending the officers for
their bravery and alleigance.

Good Cough Medicine for Children.
The season for coughs and colds is
now at hand and too much care can-
not be used to protect the children.
A child Is. much more likely to con-
tract dlptheria or scarlet fever when
he has a cold. The quicker you cure
this cold the less the risk. Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy is the sole
reliance of many mothers, and few of
those who have tried it are silling
to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starch-
er of Ripley, W. Va., Says: "I have
never used anything other than
Chamberlain's Cough remedy for my
children, and it has always given
good satisfaction." This remedy
contains no opium or other narcotic
and may be given as confidently to
a child as to an adult,. For Sale by
all Druggists.
