News circulator were both held up
and relieved of their cash one night
this week. Out of both hold-ops the
robbers got about $2.60 in cash. No
clue has been obtained thus far, but
owing to the fact that ready money
was scarce for several days after-
ward, local officers are of the opinion
that the perpetrators were outside
parties who left town immediately
after accomplishing their .purpose.
The authorities at all the fashionable
winter resorts have'been notified,
and they will keep a keen eye on all
suspicious persons who spend their
money lavishly. Since the above
numerous other hold-ups have oc-
curred there. We presume the booty
received in the first two are stimu-
lating similar occurrences.—Howe

Men’s Gospel Union Meeting.
The Men’s Gospel Union met at the
Presbyterian church Sunday after-
noon at 3 o’clock, with Prof. Sam J.
King as leader. He delivered a finish-
ed and instructive address on “The
Regeneration of Man.” The language,
rhetorical finish and all absorbing in-
terest of the address was beyond criti-
cism, and was followed by short ad-
dresses from H. Bascom Thomas, Drs.
McCauley and Miller, Rev. Tims. F
Gallaher and C. O. James, all of which
were well received.
The matter of sending messengers
to Bonham to attend a meeting of the
Confederated Men’s Gospel Union on
the 15th and 16th of January, resulted
in the unanimous election of Rev.
Thos. F. Gallaher and Chas. O. James,
whose names will appear on the pro-
gram pf the Confederation for ad-
dresses.
Snow At Dalhart.
Dalhart, Texas, Nov. 29.—(Special.)
—Friday night about 11 o’clock snow
commenced to fall here and continued
through the night. The ground was
covered to the depth of six inches,
and it is still snowing hard, with good
prospects for the heaviest snow in
years.
Farmers are elated for it will put
their ground in fine condition for plow-
ing, besides being of untold value to
growing wheat.

Delays Oil Case.
Washington, Nov. 30—Attorney
General Bonaparte today formally
submitted to the Supreme Coart of the
United States his petition for a writ of
certiorari to the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals for the Seventh Circuit, order-
ing up for review the jndginent of
that 4Qonrt reversing the rnlings of.
Judge Landis in the rebate case against
the Standard Oil Company, in which
the company was fined $29,240,000.
Attorney J. S. Miller made a re-
quest for three weeks’ time in which
to file a r^ply brief, bat the request
was opposed by the Attorney General,
who said that the Government would
consent to only two weeks' time.
The Court, however, granted the re-
quest, fixing Dec. 21 as the time by
which the brief most be submitted.
The effect of granting of Mr. Mil-
ler’s petition will be to postpone un-
til after the Christmas holidays the
court’s decision as to whether the
Standard Oil case should be reviewed
by the Supreme Coart.

Brownwood Youth Found Dead.
St. Lonis, Mo., Nov. 30 —A young
man, whose effects indicate that he
was Oscar Heard of Brownwood, Tex.,
was found dead in his room on the
third floor of the Burlington Hotel,
1624 Market street, today, with a piece
of absorbant cotton over his nostril*.
When repeated knocks on hif'datr
failed to bring a response Arthur
Kraemer entereef the room with a
pass key. The odor of gas was not
strong enough to prevent him from
entering, and an open window per-
mitted the circulation of air. Under
these circumstances it is not believed
that the yonng man'' could have been
overcome by gas. There were no
evidences of a straggle or robbery*
The young man wore only his un-
derware. The suit which he had
worn yesterday when he arrived at
the hotel and registered as Oscar
Heard a as in a suitcase near his bed,
with three other salts. In the case
also were an autograph album and a
post-card album, both bearing t£e
names of Oscar Heard, Mrs. Lee
Heard and Master Howard Heard.
In a pocket in one of the coats was
a deposit slip on a Texas bank, bear-
ing the name Oscar Heard.
The young man arrived yesterday
on an early train and asked for a
quiet room at the hotel. He remain-
ed there through the forenoon, but
went oat for a few hours in the after-
noon. At 8 p. m. he went to his room,
saying he was going to bed.

Torrential Downpour.
Waxahachie, Texas. Nov. 29.—After
two or three weeks of fair weather, a
general rain visited Ellis county today.
The rain fell in torrents for a few
hours, beginning about 2 o’clock this
ihorning. There is still considerable
cotton in the fields of the county and
the work of gathering the staple will
be delayed a few days by the rain. It
is believed the crop of the county this
year will be nearly double last year’s
crop, which was about 71,000 bales.
The receipts from wagons in Waxah-
achie this year number about 17,000
bales, as compared to about 12,000
bales for the same time last year and
24,698 for Nov. 30, 1906.

Death of Mrs. Rosa Crabb.
Monday, at the city cemetery, near
the home of her birth and girlhood,
Rosa Withers Crabb was laid to rest.
She was a daughter of G. D. and Em-
ma Withers. Mrs. Crabb was a great
favorite in this city, where she had
lived so long and was so well known.
Daring her life here she was always
first and foremost in every good work;
she took an active interest in all that
was going on, and was the son! and
life of her home, her chnrch and her
dabs. She belonged to the Christian
church, and was a member of the Re-
beckah lodge here. She waa also a
member of the Culture club of this
city, and the Standard dob of Winns-
boro.
She was of a kind, sympathetic na-
ture, and made friends wherever she
was known; her frispds here are num-
bered by the hundreds, and she was
ever trne and loyal to them. Her
heart and parse were ever open to the
calls of distress. Many will remem-
ber the kind words and deeds of “Miss
Rosa.”
Rosa Withers entered the business
world and succeeded beyond what
many stoat men do. Her word was
ever her bond in all things.
A Winnsboro yonng man wooed and
won this splendid girl,' and last Jan-
uary C. B. Crabb and Rosa Withers
were married, and she left us to
brighten his home and gladden bis
heart, which she did natil she was call-
ed away. She was sick only a short
time; on Sunday evening a tiny little
girl baby was born that never saw the
light of day, and in a few hoars—sur-
rounded by husband, father and moth-
er—the spirit of Rosa Crabb took its
flight to God who gave it.
The afternoon train Monday bore
the body of oar friend and her heart-
broken husband, father, mother and
a number of friends to this city, where
a large procession met them at the
depot and conveyed the remains to
oar city of the Dead, where rests
many of oar loved ones. The bnsiness
houses of the city closed for the fu-
neral. Revs. Stephens and Enbanks,
(of Denison) assisted by Revs. Fuller
and Moore, of Winnsboro, and Revs.
