Lookout for Holiday Fire Dangers.
The custom of merchants dec-
orating places of business for the
holiday trade is a most hazard-
ous one from a standpoint of fire.
The decorating of churches and
school houses for Christmas and
other means of entertainment is
also dangerous. The promiscu-
ous use of fire works is at all
times a menace to life and prop-
erty.
For the purpose of trying to
impress upon the public the need
for care throughout the last two
weeks of December, the depart-
ment calls attention to the fol-
lowing important suggestions
‘ contained in the Holiday Fire
Bulletin issued by the National
Fire Protection Association :
Stores, churches and bazars:
Holiday fires in these while filled
with people are usually holo-
causts. Light, inflammable dec-
orations make fires easy to start
and easy to spread. A match, a
gas flame or an electrical defect
may do it.
Watch cigar, cigarette and
pipe smokers; Do not permit
them to “light up” inside build-
ings. Do not make the slightest
change in electrical wiring with-
out consulting electrical inspec-
tors.
Warnings for the home: Ev-
ery year in America many chil-
dren are burned to .death by fire
from Christmas candles. Do not
decorate your Christmas tree
with paper, cotton, or any other
inflammable material. Use me-
tallic tinsel and other non-inflam-
mable decorations only, and set
the tree securely so that the chil-
dren in reaching for things can-
not tip it over. Do not use cot-
ton to represent snow. If you
must have snow use asbestos
fibre.
Do not permit children to light
or relight candles while parents
are not present. They frequent-
ly set fife to their clothing in-
stead; and' the tree itself will
burn when needles have become
dry. Do not leave matches

within reach of children at holi-
day time. Candles are meant to
be lighted, and . if the children
can get matches they will experi-
ment with them. They imitate

Slack Case Dismissed.
The case of J. R. Slack,
charged with shooting a man by
the name of Speed or Snow in his
cornfield last year, was dismissed
creek and in looking under some
rocks for wolves they discovered
a pile of these dreadful reptiles,
and succeeded in finding and
killing fourteen of them measur-
ing all the way from 2 1-2 feet to
5 feet and three inches.
The boys stated that the snakes
were in a stupid condition and
apparently blind, as none of
them made any resistance more
than to open their mouths, and
some of them did not do even
that much.—Llano News.
Rules President's Order is. Invalid.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 14.—In a
decision in which he attributes to
the Presidentof the Uuited States
the unlawful exercise of power
Federal Judge T. S. Maxey this
afternoon ordered the release
from custody of Col. Pascual
Orozco Sr. and Gen. David de la
Fuente, who since Nov. 13, 1912,
have been detained at Fort Sam
Houston by order of the. Secre-
tary of War, directed by the
President. All contentions made
by relators that they are guilty of
no crime against the laws of the
United States, and that they are
charged with no offense, are sus-
tained by the court. Judge
Maxey’s conclusions, in brief,
are as follows in each case:
“1. The President was without
lawful power to order the arrest
and imprisonment of the relator.
“2. The order issued by his
direction for such Wrest was in-
operative and void.
“3. The relator, being illegally
restrained of his liberty by the
military authorities, is entitled to
be released.
“It is, therefore, the order of
the court that he be dismissed
from custody upon entering into
recognizance in the sum of $2,-
500, with surety as prescribed by
this week. The court of appeals *
delivered an opinion stating that ru^e 34 of the Supreme Court, for
1 appearance to answer judgment
of the Appellate Court.”
United States District Attorney
G. A. Boynton gave notice of
appeal. J. F. Wolters of Hous-
ton was present as counsel for
Col. Orozco and Gen. de la
Fuente. The appeal will be taken
direct to the Supreme Court at
Washington.
practically Mr. Slack had a right
to shoot a man depredating in
his field and sent the case back
to the district court here. The
ruling made the dismissal nec-
essary.
The grand jury investigated
the shooting of J. B. Carter by
Mr. Slack last summer and de-
cided that no indictment should
be returned, consequently he and
his bondsmen were released from
further responsibility in the case.

the government dam across the
Mississippi. It explains the dis-
appearance, several weeks ago,
of one of the laborers.
The man’s body is imbedded
in the solid concrete, and is like-
ly to stay there, as to blast it out
would destroy not only the body,
but a great part of one of the
largest blocks of cement compos-
ing the dam.
The disappearance of a laborer
was noted several weeks ago,
b ut it was not known that he had
fallen into the frame, into which
tons of concrete were being
dumped.

which weighed 560. The hog was
about two and one-half years

larger than was ever seen by
many people, but a few days aft-

“Owing to a severe cough and lung
trouble I could not work at all. for several
months,” writes Lewis Chamblin, of Man-
chester, Ohio. “Two of the best doctors
could not help me. My weight ran down to
115 pounds. Dr. King’s New Discovery
cured me, and I now weigh 160 pounds.”
“I am an old lover of your most valu-
able Godsend to suffering humanity—Dr.
King’s New Discovery,” — writes Jennie
Fleming, New Dover, Ohio, “for it cured me
of a dreadful cough of three years’ standing.
It was so bad that I would cough until I
would be speechless, but, for the quick relief
of your wonderful remedy gave me, it’s
worth more than all the remedies I ever used
before.**
Thousands have been helped in the same

Kills Thirty-two Rattlesnakes.
Sweetwater, Tex., Dec. 14.—
For years rattlesnakes have been
rarely seen in this section, but
Sam Richardson, living on Ed
Neblett’s place, ten miles north-
west of here, was in Sweetwater
today with a lot of rattlers,
and reported he had Gaptured
and killed thirty-two rattlesnakes
in the Dulany pasture seven
miles northwest of here in one
cave. The reptiles varied from
three to six feet in length. He
captured six alive. The cave is
in a very rough section of the
