YOUTH STEPPED FROM CAR
GROUND BENEATH WHEELS
IN HOOD COUNTK
Leonard Bird, 18, of Lipan, was kil-
led at Millsap Friday night by a freight
train.
The train after having stopped for
an order was pulling out when young
Bird attempted to step from one car
to antother, lost his footing and was
thrown benath the wheels. His body
was cut in half.
He is the son of W. B. Bird, a drug-
gist of Lipan, and in company with his
father and mother was visiting Ills
grandmother at Millsap.
The Progress was particularly desirous of giving its
readers this week the first definite detailed and reliable
statement of the result of the ejection of last Tuesday.
Tuesday about midnight it was announced throughout the
country that Mr. Hughes was elected and numbers of
Dublin democrats who remained up until after midnight
securing bulletins of the election silently went to their
homes in this belief, though national democratic head-
quarters declined to concede a republican victory on the
face of such a concession from the Associated Press and
many of the great democratic newspapers of the country.
First returns (Tune from the north and east, where the
republican candidate ran milch stronger than expected
and swept several states previously counted almost, if
not certain, to give a big majority lur President Wilson.
'The returns from west of the Mississippi were slow in
coming in, but when they did arrive it was found they
had done the handsome thing by the democratic ticket
and by W ednesday morning enough new returns were in,
chiefly from the west, to indicate the re-election of Mr.
Wilson. The vote in many states, however, both east
and west, developed into such an even contest that tin*
apparent result wavered Wednesday and yesterday in
most indecisive manner as additional returns were from
time to time received. Not until 11 o’clock last night was
all doubt finally removed and the announcement made
that definite complete returns had been received from all
the -Ih> states and that President Whson had carried 30
states with 276 electoral votes and Mr. Hughes had car-
ried IS states with an electoral vote <?f 255.
This was followed by the announcement from repub-
lican headquarters that the national committee had for-
seen the outcome and had employed counsel to contest tin*
election in every state in which the republican candidate
was defeated by a small vote.
The Progress communicated by wire with Ft. Worth.
Dallas and Brownwood papers in an effort to secure a
detailed statement, of the correct returns. As a result of
this effort we arc enabled to present to Progress renders
this morning their first accurate information in detail
of the electoral vote.
The two states of California and Minnesota were the
last to finally give in complete returns because of the dose
vote between the two candidates in those states, necessi-
tating confirmations from each county upon the votes re-
ported.
California gave President Wilson a majority of 2000
votes, the first time the state lias voted for a democratic
candidate for the presidency since the electoral vote went
for Haves against Garfield in .1880 by the slender plurali-
ty of 40 votes. Normally California gives 3000 to 5000
majority for the republican candidate, t.lnyhgh in the three
cornered campaign of 1912 that state gave Wilson two and
Roosevelt 11 electoral votes.

more ago about how ire believed Hiat
his flock of turkeys had made ii pos-
sible for him to gether more tliai, a
third of a bale of cotton to the aci"
where his immediate neighbors ha!
such a small yield that they did net
consider it worth gathering. The in-
stance was printed in the Progress at
the time and there was considerable
comment on the matter and a number
of other farmers reported that they
intended trying the same plan and in-
tended watching the results and re-
porting the success, but they either
overlooked making the trial or they
forgot to tell about it. The experience
of the farmer mentioned was that ho
tween tlie cotton fields of his and that
| of his neighbor there stood an old mi!
formation eaine that a quantity of
dry goods was stolen and a check
which had been endorsed. It was not
stated what store in Wilson watt
robbed.
DEAD BODY FOUND IN OLD
CISTERN IN ELLIS COUNTY
The badly decomposed body or a
man was fished out of an old cistern
on the Ben Lancaster place, near
Mount Peak, twelve miles west of
Waxahachie, Tuesday.
Identification is not complete, hut
the body is thought to be that of a
man named Lambert, a cotton picker
who disappeared two weeks ago.

of the house of representatives is not fully indicated by I

RETURNS IN TEXAS.
Texas gave the democratic national ticket a majority,
of about i70,000 out of a very light vote, due to the lack j
of contest in this state. One county in Texas, Zapata,
gate a majority for the republican standard bearer, tin
vo"p in that county being 25 for Wilson, 25 for Ferguson.
219 for Hughes, 230 for Creagor, republican candidate for
governor. The returns indicate the adoption ot the con-
stitutional amendment to increase the limit of taxation
for school purposes in school districts, any increase over
the 50e rate to be voted by the qualified electors of the
district. Gluts. II. Hurdlcston was elected ralffoad com-

appeared not to exactly like the idea
and Ibis farmer quietly fixed up the
fence a little and clipped tile wings
of his turkeys. After that they no
longer flew over into the cotton patch
adjoining. The two crops were plant-
ed about the same time, the land was
about the same and the crops were
cultivated about the same, both farm-
ers being active and not afraid of
plowing often and well. An investi-
gation revealed the fact that the neigh-
bors cotton patch was alive with boll
weevils, while on his cotton there was
not nearly torn any weevil and the
turkeys worked^on them continuously.
The result was a third of a bale Of
cotton o ntiis field and not enough to
justify picking on the neighbors cot-
ton. He was of the opinion that the
work of the turkeys was responsible
for his gathering any cotton at all that
year. Then along about Christmas he
had a very nice income from his tur-
keys, all clear profit.
