heavy, as it were, but iT would
have bean much greater had it

cept my thanks for your labor.
Yours truly, ,

At Dallas there are three boys
already dead and three others
are in a critical condition. Some-
body sold them pistols in order
to gain a few cents profit, and
their parents either permitted
them to play with the death deal-
ing toys or lacked the ability to
impress their children with the
necessity of playing with some-
thing less dangerous.

HANGED FOR ROBBERY.
On Friday of last week the first
legal execution in Texas took
place under the law making it a- ™
death penalty to commit a rob-
bery with a deadly weapon, Henry
Bates being hanged at Columbus.
It may not be generally known
that such a law is to be found
upon our statute books, but Hen-
ry Bates learned it at the cost of
his life.
It is a righteous law and is in
force in several states.
A man who will draw a weapon
on another to force him to give
up his money is a murderer at
heart and will commit the crime
if necessary.
A man who breaks into your
house at night to rob you will
murder you if you get in his way.
All such crimes should be pun-
ished by death or life imqrison-
ment.—Abilene Reporter.
