|L. A. Brown Moots Dentil From Rail-
road Accident at tVhlolita Falls
Wednesday
m
>»
Last Wednesday morning about 9:30
O’clock, L. A. Brown, formerly of this
■ city, was crushed between two freight
cars in the Ft. Worth & Denver yards,
at Wichita Falls and from the injuries
sustained he died a few hours later
when en route on a special train to
the company hospital at Ft. Worth.
The death of Mr.Brown In this man-
ner and at this time is especially sad.
in that he was wedded just a week
and a day preceedlng this tragedy,
having married In Dublin Tuesday of
last week to Miss Nina Skinner of this
city. The young couple had spent
the week here after their marriage
but went to Wichita Falls the first
of the week that Mr. Brown might
resume his duties in the Denver yards
at Wichita. He went to work at 7
o'clock Wednesday morning and with-
in two and a half hours the fatal ac-
cident befell him.
It is said that no one witnessed
the accident but his body was found
immediately after the occurrence and
it was apparent the cars came togeth-
er on him. The hips and lower
bowels were crushed, the left log was
broken in a number of places and he
was otherwise injured Internally.
A special train was quickly made up
to take him to thte hospital, but he
died before Fort Worth was reached
and upon arrival there the body was
prepared by undertakers und shipped
to Dublin for burial, which occurred
at the old Dublin cemetery at 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon, Die ser-
vices being held at the residence of
A. R. Skinner, father of the bereaved
bride.
The funeral was conducted under
the direction of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, of which the de-
ceased had for some years been a
member and representatives of the or-
der came from Waco and Wichita
Falls to look after the funeral. These
gentlemen were LeeCager ofWaco and
H. S. Bartley and O. W. Dickerson
of Wichita Falls.
Mr. Brown had been engaged In the
railroad service eleven years and dur-
ing the time had. worked in ail sec-
tions of the United States. He was
with the Texas Central railroad at
Dublin for some time previous to re-
moving to Wichita Fulls some months
ago.
New Stock Law Being Enforced.
City Marshal Jim White, who if also
the official cow catcher, under go re-
cent stock law enacted by the city
council, has been doing an active busi-
ness this week. The law' became ef-
roctlve last Monday and up to yester-
day evening the Marshal had taken
In seven delinquent cows and three I court of Erath county last Saturday
horses, all but two cows of which to determine whether the school board

Man In ( barge of “Burglarised" Bank
ut Fort Worth Mels Into tferlous
Considerable excitement was caused
In Fort Worth Tuesday afternoon,
June 22nd, when Cashier Walter G.
King of the branch of the Waggoner
Bank ft Trust Company reported that
he had been held up by a burglar,
single-handed, and $g.l95 of the bank's
money taken. According to king's
story the bold burglar entered the
bhnk white he was figuring ut> big
balance sheet, pointed a very danger-
ous looking six-shooter at his heart,
helped himself to a stuck of green
hacks which were lying on the desk,
then deliberately walked out of the
door onto the crowded street and dis-
appeared. Large rewards were offer-
ed for the apprehension of the bandit,
and detectives and officers alt over
the state kept a close watch for any
one answering the description of the
burglar.................. ~
Immediately after the affair was re-
ported a special detective, employed
by the Texas Bankers' Association,
was summoned from the association's
headquarters at Austin. A T. Cor-
win reported at police headquarters
Wednesday morning following the re-
port to the police. After working
dIUgetitly on the case he announced
at police headquarters Thursday ev-
ening that he was returning to Aus-
tin well pleased with Ills work, and
that the hundreds of dollars expend-
ed in telegrams had been unnecessary.
The bankers' defective also stated
that the money supposed to have been
taken by the lone bandit at the point
of a sixBhooter would be found in the
branch office vault when it was next
opened, and that 1>is end of the case
was closed and settled.
A Tarrant county grand jury be-
gan a diligent investigation of the
case more than a week ago. and after
sifting all the evidence obtainable re-
turned an indictment charging King,
with embezzlement of $8,195 of the,
bank's money. As soon as King learn-
ed that lie had been indicted by the
grand jury lie surrendered and made
bond in the sum of $3,000.
It is stated that King lias wealthy
friends and relatives who will come
to his assistance, and a hard fought
legal battle is expected.
Injunction ( use Dismissed.
The proceedings in the district
had been promptly claimed by tiie
owners, and the fine of one dollar a
head and feed bill paid over to the
obliging city marshal, who Ms also

Improvements Being Made.
Since the stock law has gone into
effect the fences have been removed
from a number of residences about
town and It is understood that many
more will come down right away and
a general clearing up and beautifying
of tiie premises, now free from the
ravages of the town cow. will take
place. To Mrs. F. M. Browne is due
the honor for the first move in this
matter and the most, decided and
pleasing improvement is shown In the
looks of her residence property on
Patrick street. Cement walks are al-
so being laid on each side of her prop-
erty and when these improvements are
completed this will be decidedly the
neatest looking piece of property in
Dublin. Others will soon begin a sim-
ilar work and the good wdrk thus be-
gan will doubtless revolutionize the
general appearance of the resident
portion of the city. -Many otherwise
beautiful homes are now greatly de-
tracted from in appearance by un-
pointed and dilapidated fences. Ce-
ment walks are also to be placed next
week in front of tiie laztlmm Co store.
Pur mem Are Very Busy.
Tiie present week has been one of
U"' dullest in Dublin in a long time.
The farmers have been busily engag-
ed in their cro^s, as well they may be
at this time, and throughout the en-
tire week tiie town has been desert

town people. Iiesides numbers of our
citizens are away on outings, some
away on fishing trips, others off to
Seattle, some on the roast and some
