Lieutenant Governor anj Mrs. A

COMET WAS NOT VJSIBI,
Clouds partially obscured

ed a view of the comet Monday
nigh, disappointing many would -bo
observers. It was expected that
Monday night would be the best op
portunity for the observation of the
comet, the eclipse of the moon being
expected to make the night dark
enough to show up the com< t in a
strong light. The eenpse came on
time all right and was seen by many,
but when the cloud bank in the
west had become dissipated, the
head of the comet was below the
horizon and out of sight. A broad
shaft, apparently of light clouds,
which shot up half way to the ze-
nith, was declare,] by some to be
the tail of the comet, but whether
it really was or not is not definitely
known.

Mr. Davidson then went into a ;
review of his official acts while a |

and tell them in reply to charg
brought against me and the other
members of the senate the true facts

that have been made all over this

entire senate, have affected the hon-

I for one do not propose after twen
t.v-four years of service to retin

ing my voice.
No man ever charged me with
wrong-doing until after II. Basconj
Thomas made his appearance in
Austin as a state senator. Here he
devoted cosiderahle time to the dis-
cussion of the Thomas incident in
the last legislature. He read at
length from the Senate Journal.
Mr. Davivdson then produced some
letters which he said had been writ
ten by Thomas to J. H. Bickett of
Cameron, a candidate for state
treasurer, offering in exchange for
the first desk in the treasurer's of -
fice to deliver his own vote and in-
fluence and the support of more
than a dozen newspapers in Hopkins,
Fannin. Grayson and Ellis counties
which he proposed to dominate
through the advevrtisements of the
shoe firm operated by his brothers.
Mr. Davidson stated that he had
the permission of Superintendent
R. TS. Cousins to state that while a

Thomas containing the identical
proposition which the man from
Hopkins made to Mr. Bickett. Al!
of these documents form a severe
arraignment of the man, who, as a
price for being expelled from the
?enate, wants to be elevated to the
Ilea tenant governorship.
Mr. Davidson then produced some
records which he said were made
during the Love investigation sever-
al years ago. The first wan Tho-

It is not true that 1 'wrote Captain

speech, one strongly indorsing him
and the other threatening to stump

The only letter 1 wrote Mr.

some of the people who have beet,

you have called my attention and
which I hav£, repeated above have

against Johnson or Davidson. What
else could any man expect me to do?
Would any man who thinks 1 ough:
to value my character and reputa

Johnson and Davidson have done and

1'he reports of the City Assessor

read and approved. The water -
works superintendent's' 'report for
the month of May was read and

Mayor Poe created some little dis
iiission by requesting that the re-
port of the waterworks supenin <

The returns of the city election

Saturday night did considerable
minor damage In the aggregate
amounting to a considerable sum
nowhere was the damage very heavy.
I'll,, loss was confined chiefly to
fences, trees, small outbuildings and
tile like.
At llethel, however, southeast ol
town, A. Crawford Monday reported
that the Bethel church was so badly
damaged that it will have to lie torn
down and rebuilt. The building,
he said, is still standing, but eon
slderably broken up.
Crops arc! not reported to have
suffered lo any material extent. Some
corn was blown awry where the
wind was strongest, but it is believ
ed It will straighten up. Neither
wheat nor oats so far as reported is
hurt. West of town the rain did
not extend over four or five miles
and 011 the .1. R. Chl'ista] place Mon-
day it was expected 'o begin cut-

shower fell with another one Sun

Here in town a number of fences
were blown down, the damage from
reports being apparently greatest In
the southern part of town. Several
persons lost their chicken coops, and
had their outhouses damaged and at
the C.oode livery barn the awning
was blown off and a buggy on which
it fell considerably damaged.
The rain was of rather a benefit
in some sections, although it was not
particularly needed immediately
about town.
A sharp norther late Sunday af-
ternoon dropped cue mercury to
and it got as low as 60 Monday morn-
ing. At Amarillo it was almoit at a
freezing temperature Sunday night

Belated reports from Sunday
night's hail and windstorm in Nortn
Texas indicate severe property dam -
age, including houses barns audi
rops of all kinds. In some places
otton and corn were beaten into
tile earth and totally lost. In oth-
er counties wheat and oats were
totally destroyed. While the re-
ports received do not indicate as
much, it is probable the total loss
will exceed $250,000.
A strip six miles long and one
mile wide, near Sherman was dam-
aged $50,000 by bail, and in many
places the hailstones d'ifted in piles
two feet high. Window glass was
broken out of dwellings and other
property was damaged.
