BAN OR FLIRTATIOUS GIRL.
Depot Matron. Tired of Foolish
Maidens, Starts a Crusade.
Special to The Telegram.
Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 10.—A ban
has been placed on flirtatious girls at
the Union depot, and hereafter those
young women Inclined to make "goo-
goo" eyes at the young men must
seek other places to do so. Mra Ev-
erlngham, the matron, always has
had trodble with this class of girls,
and her patience Is about exhausted.
Yesterday afternoon a young wo-
man from Southwest Missouri was de-
tained by Detective Bradley and Mr*
Everingham after she had had about
two hours' fun with young men in
the depot. She was later released
with a warning. In the t*w hoars
she remained at the depot she didn't
again look at a young
If there are those who have enter-
tained doubts as to the final com-
pletion of the Temple-Northwestern
railway, they must now feel a pang
of disappointment. Announcement is
made that conditions surrounding the
enterprise were never more promising
than at the present time. The Tele-
gram announced the fact a few days
ago that grade work was nearing
completion between Temple and
Gatesyllle, and up to last evening all
; the grade work, was completed to
Oatesvllle with the exception of a
'small stretch of two miles, and this
wlll be finished before the end of the
present week.
In conversation with Mr. Charles
K. Campbell at a late hour last night
he informed a Telegram reporter that
everything le now in reading for
rapid progress in the matter of track
laying.
Monday morning the first Temple-
Northwestern Mogul engine can be
seen In the north yards of the Santa
Fe. This engine will be put In com-
mission tomorrow In making prelim
lnary arrangements for track laying
which will start in a hurry on Tues-
day. Mr. Campbell further author-
izes the statement that up to the
present time every article used by
the road bae been paid for and the
company's finance is in good shape.
Several cars of steel rails are now in
the Santa Fe yards and much of It
has been placed along the track ready
for >the track laying crew, as is also
many cars of ties. Fact of the mat-
ter is the ties are along the track for
several miles out. The bridges and
culverts are constructed out to mile
seven, and the lumber for the bridges
is on the right of way out to the Leon
river. The trustees are to be con-
gratulated on the great amount of
work accomplished with the means at
hand, and it is now sure that the
road will be completed to Oatesvllle
before the end of the present year.
It is contemplated by the Commer-
cial Club to assemble all the citizens
out to the beginning point of track
laying and in connection with the
visiting secretaries have a picture
taken, for publication in the daily
pa pars. It is hoped that all who have
vehicles will avail themselves of this
opportunity to celebrate the begin-
ning of actual track laying on the
T-.N. W.
This information will likely cause
some speculation In railway circles,
as It is a fact that there has been a
strenuous effort on the part of some
railroads to stop the building of this
road. The people up In Coryell
county appreciate this fact more
forcibly than our people and only re-
cently in a legal contest In the
Coryell district court it developed
that the Cotton Belt was spending
more than a hundred thousand dollars
for right of way and grading when
that road could have made a track-
age arrangement with the T.-N. W.
at less than half this amount, which
1s evidence that It was the intention
of the Cotton Belt to kill the Temple
enterprise.
It was announced when there was
much hostility between the two roads
that the Temple road would be built
and operated If it bankrupted the en-
tire city. It now begins to look as
though this assertion Is true, only
that it will lack quite a bit breaking
our city. We are still doing a mag-
Temple. We are still doing a mag
using much better methods In the
modus operandi. You can't lost Tem-
ple in the game.
The Telegram urges everybody to
go out and witness the beginning of
track laying next Tuesday at 5
o'clock, and thereby make as big
display as possible.

A CARD FROM MR. LEMLY.
I understand that an aspirant for
the office of city attorney is already
making an active canvass, and I have
been informed that 1t has been stated
that r would not seek to be returned
to that office. I wish to say that a£
the proper time I shall announce for
re-election to the office I now have
the honor to fill. Almost breathless
we have Just emerged from a political
race—a strenuous 8tate campaign—
and I regret that a nervous candidate
is already seeking to ilto up Temp's
voters and pop the pistol before the
proper time to start the race has ar-
rived. Let's eschew politics for a
while, trade and traffic and pursue
our usual avocations and professions,
enjoy the holidays snd then, accord-
ing to the old established precept, it
will be time enough to open our con-
test for city officers.

Rogers, Tex., Sept 10.—A deeper- >
ate shooting affray occurred here at I
about six o'clock this evening, and*
as a result, there lie one dead, one
mortally wounded, another shot IB
the thigh, and a negro woutaa
wounded, but extent of injuries not
known. ^
The trouble occurred In a pool
room, between John Lewis and
Smith as principals, and particii
in by Gene Smith, brother to Sam.
John Lewis is dead, Sam Smith is
shot in the bowels and breast and is
expected to die, Cicero Dean, a by-
stander, has a bullet in hs thigh, and
the negro woman who was in a res-
taurant adjoining the pool room, re-
ceived a bullet, but she disappeared
and at time of filing this account
she has not been found. Gene Smith,
who was one of the combatants, es-
caped with minor bruises Inflicted
with a shotgun with which Lewis
struck him over the head, after dis-
charging the contents of the shot-
gun into the brother.
It is alleged that both the Smith
brothers fired at Lewis, after Lewis
had entered the place with his shot-
gun. Five bullets found their mark r
In Lewis' body, and ho lived about
an hour after receiving the wounds.
Gene Smith was arrested by De-
puty Sheriff John. Bigham, and he
was taken to Jail at Belton. Sam
Smith, so badly wounded, was to
have been brought to Temple for sur-
gical treatment on a morning train.
Dean also was brought here for treat- <<
ment
The trouble 1s alleged to have been
caused by attentions to Lewis'
daughter by Sam Smith, which the j
father undertook to avenge. He arm-
ed himself with a shotgun and
found) his man 1n the pool room
where the shooting took places It )
appears that as he entered the door
Sam Smith saw him and surmising
what hs was there for Immediately
opened' fire. The first shot
Smith's gun missed Its mark,
entered the leg of Dean who
standing In the line of fire. Lewi!
then fired both barrels of bis sbotJ
gun at Sam Smith, and as he turned
to leave the room met Gene Smith
entering. Gene Smith opened fire
on Lewis with fatal results. It Is
said that Lewis struck Gene Smith
over the head with his empty shot-
gun before he fell mortally wounded
to the floor. Of the five bullets find-
ing lodgment In the body of Lewis,
one went through his heart, one
through the breast and two through
the head, any of which would have
proven fatal. Gene Smith was so
close to him when he fired that
Lewis' clothing was set afire. 8am
Smith was about twenty feet distant
when Lewis entered the door. When
hit by the shot from Lewis's gun hs
half turned and said: "Somebody
please help me." He then ran out
the back way and crawled under the
high steps outside the kitchen door.
Dean, who Is a section foreman,
was struck by a sixshooter bullet in
the thigh and he Is very badly
wounded, the bullet plowing into
bone and flesh. He was not con-
cerned In the difficulty.
