BODY IN BALE OF COTTON.
The finding of the dead body
of a two year old child in a bale
of cotton at a mill in Manches-
ter, England, is believed to be
the solution of the disappearance
last December of a son of a far=
mer in Gillespie County.
The Venus Times says the boy
accompanied his father to a gin,
where the father had several
bales of cotton pressed. The
child was lost and never found,
and the father spent all he had
searching for tidings of his child,
without result. It is now sur-
i
mised that in some way the child j
got into the cotton press and was j
crushed to death in a bale of
Cutton. The parenis moved from
Texas a few months ago to Louis-
iana. The description of the
body and clothes answered to
that of the Texas child. The
English cotton mills traced the
bale to a broker in Texas, who in
turn traced it back to the gin and
to the fact that it was the pro-
duct of Gillespie County.

TELL THE TRUTH.
STAND PRIVILEGES SOLD.
The stand privileges for the
Yoakum Fire Department cele-
bration on Wednesday, July 28,
have been sold to the following
parties:
Ed. Hill,
Mrs. J. T. McQuillan,
Gus. Thiele,
John Jarrash.
These people should be well
patronized by the general public
on the 28th.
The fire department started
out to make a success of their
celebration, and if things keep
moving as smoothly in the next
few days as they have in the
past, the celebration will be a
record breaker. All the com-
mitteemen are working like
beavers to that end.
Every newspaper writer should
confine himself strictly to the
truth in everything he puts into
the paper. Truth is the foun-
dation stone of public confidence,
and no new?paper that hasn’t
the confidence of its patrons has
anything for long. But this
does r.ot mean that it is an editor’s
iduty to tell all the ugiy truths he
hears or knows. There are in
every town many things that are!

case as general! known, states it
has been discovered that Miss
Siegel took her own life by
poison. Ling, the report states,
found the body of the girl upon
the bed, and being frightened
by the discovery, called Chung
Sin. The latter, says the report,
advised him that should he tell
the truth to the police regarding
the finding of the body he would
not be believed and would prob-
ably be lynched.

TAKEN TO CUERO.
W. I). Waldron, who was ar-
rested at Cuero a few days ago,
charged with passing a forged
check on a Humble bank to the
Yoakum State Bank, was brought
before Justice W. W. Wimberly
Wednesday for preliminary trial.
J ustice Wimberly held Waldron
in the sum of $500 to await the
action of the DeWitt county grand
jury, and Thursday afternoon
he was taken to Cuero by Sheriff
Farris and lodged in the county
iail, lis not being able to make
bond. After the check was
cashed it was returned to the
Humble bank for payment but
was turned down as a forged in-
strument, hence the young man’s
irrest. It is stated that Waldron

him on the forgery charge.
PUT SOAP IN B01LEF.
Gonzales, Texas. July 13.—A
young white man is in jail
charged with putting soap in the
boiler at the cotton mill on Sat-
urday night. The engineer in
charge, in cleaning and examin-
ing thf* boiler on Sunday, dis-
covered the soap, started an in-
vestigation and an arrest follow-
ed. I: is said that the effect of
this soap would probably have
caused an explosion of the boiler
on Monday morning when the
fires were to be started prepara-
tory to raising steam for the
day’s run, and it is considered
very fortunate that the discovery
was made when it was, as an
explosion, such as this was likely
to produce, would have wrecked
the cotton mill, ?n institution of
the probable value of $250,000.
