Two Convictions for Disloyalty
In the district court at Cuero yes-1
terduy there were two convictions un-
der the new state law punishing dis-1
loyalty. Jesse Norwood of Cuero and
Albert Howard of the Westhoff com-1
munity were convicted and each given !
twenty-five years in the penitentiary
for making remarks against the presi- i
dent and in disapproval of the war i

Hurd Luck
About the hardest piece of luck we j
know of happened to a man in our j
county who was laying by u supply j
of stuff which quenches thirst for the j
dry season which has set in. After
purchasing the same he had the mis-1
fortune to drop it while on his way |
to the wagon and all his visions of a i
good time to be faded as he watched j
his favorite drink making little rivu-
lets on its way to the street guter.— I

Farm Brought $50,475

, ing 331 acres, located near Granger,

Changed to English
The Texas Volksbote, published in
this city for the past forty years,
this week discontinues the use of the
German language, and appears in
i English. Col. John G. Rankin, a
i veteran in the newspaper business in
j Texas, and for many years editor of
j the Brenham Banner, is the editor
j of the “Messenger,” as the paper will
be called from this time forward. Max
Mueller is the business manager, as
heretofore; P. Mundelius is superin-
tendent of the mechanical department.
In last week’s .issue of the Volksbote
the publishers state that the purpose
in discontinuing the German-language
weekly is to assist in further upbuild-
ing solid American unity, in word and
thought and deed. “The time has ar-
rived,” the article says, “when we
must all be better versed in the lan-
guage of the country.”—Brenham
Banner. ,

Gets the Full Limit
For the second time within less
than twenty-four hours a jury in the
district court has assessed the full
limit of the law under the new dis-
loyalty law, passed by the last Legis-
lature. Albert Howard is the victim
this time to draw a twenty-five year
sentence. He chose to conduct his
own defense rather than to employ
counsel and his plea was that if he
cursed President Wilson and did
other things with which he was charg-
ed, it was while he was under the
influence of whiskey and knew’not
what he said or did. He appealed to
the mercy of the jury in behalf of his
wife and small children, but said after
staying in jail three weeks, with his
crops going to rack, and his place
unpaid for, he would ask none for him-
self. He stated that he had fought
for the United States and was willing
to do so again, and showed where he
had bought war stamps for himself
and children. The jury was out only
a few minutes when they returned a
verdict of guilty and assessed the
punishment of Howard at twenty-five
years in penitentiary.—Cuero Record,
o o
On last Friday afternoon at three
o'clock, as Willie Sever, aged sixteen
years, was going with his father to
the Brazos bottom for a load of wood,
the team, frightened by an automibile,
ran away, one of the lines broke, and
the boy died six hours later as a re-
sult of injuries received when he
jumped from the fear end of the
wagon. In jumping he landed on his
feet, but in the rebound hit his head
on the stone-hard surface of the road,
presumably causing concusion of the
brain. The victim of this shocking
accident was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Fritz Seyer of Rosenberg, formerly
of the Burleigh neighborhood, and the i
body was brought here for burial. I
Interment was made at Pilgrims Rest j
on Saturday at noon, E. A. Wammel 1
officiating. Mr. Seyer, Sr., states
j that he scarcely knows how he, him-
self, got off the wagon, but on making
his way back to his son, found him
unconscious. Although teams are
now pretty generally accustomed to
the sight and noise of cars, this de- j
j plorable occurrence that has plunged |
a family in grief, shows that accidents j
are possible—and should cause auto-
mobilists to exercise great care when j
passing teams.—Bellivlle Times.

Still Wants to Scrap
In leters written to his parents,
from an American hospital “some-
where in France,” Alfred G. Beyer
forgets to tell his parents the nature
of his wounds in his anxiety to learn
whether he is to be allowed to have
another chance at the Hun. Not a
word has he uttered of his suffering
but a great deal about the Red Cross
and what It has done for him. In
a letter written June 4th, he says;
“Am still in the hospital with my
wounds almost healed up, but guess
I’ll be here another week or two.
My hand is all healed up nice, but I
do not think my finger will be of any
use to me any more. It is my trigger
finger too. You see the bone between
my linger and wrist was smashed so
bad that the doctors were unable to
put it together so they took it out.
Now I haven’t any strength left in
the finger. I don’t know whether I’ll
get into another scrap or not, but I
hope so. I wish I could tell you about
this fight I went through. I know
you would die laughing.” He says in
a postscript: “You can tell Mrs.
Simpson, the one that knitted the
sweater for me, that it will be a nice
souvenir from the trenches. I hap-
pened to have it on the morning I
was hit, and the first thing they did
was bandage my hand up with so
much bandage that I Wouldn’t slip
it over my hand and had to rip the
sleeve to get to the wound in the upper
part of my arm. Two days later he
has learned that he has been cited for
bravery and writes as follows, enclos-
ing a clipping from the Paris edition
of the New York Herald. “Thought
I’d write again as I happened to find
something in the paper this morning
which surprised me, and no doubt it
will surprise you. I didn’t think I
did enough fighting to get anything
for it, hut it seems as if I did my
share. I am sending you the clipping
and you can see for yurself and be
proud of it, if the censor doesn’t stop
it, and I hope he doesn’t. 1 want
you to see it and let me know what
you think of it. I am still in the
hospital with about a week or so to
do, yet I’d like to be with my outfit
right now and take in the big one of
them.” The clipping enclosed with
this letter is: “Private Alfred G.

Robert Schqltze of 818 West Poplar
street, San Antonio, Texas, who has
been a resident of that city for more*
than fifty years and a contractor and j
builder there for twenty-five years,
made a remarkable statement regard-
ing his experience with Tanlac, re-
cently.
“About two years ago,” said Mr. ^
Sehultze, "rheumatism got hold of me !
and I lost weight and all the energy I j
ever had seemed to leave me. I suffer-1
ed torture with the rheumatism, es-
pecially in my shoulders and knee
joints, and I couldn’t work an h»mr
without my shoulders giving com-
pletely out. I had become irritable
and unstrung as a man can be and as
nothing seemed to do me any good
I had about gotten to the place where
I didn’t know which way to turn for
relief.
“Finally, after seeing the results
of Tanlac in the case of some of my
relatives, I began using it myself and
I ,um entirely free from all pain and
symptoms of the rheumatism, and I’m
glad to say my irritable, grouchy feel-
ings are gone, too. I have gained all
of ten pounds and this strikes me as
being mighty fine for one of my age.
I have as much energy and vim as
I ever had and can work all day. Al-
together, I’m simply feeling fine and
you may know if Tanlac hadn't done |
me good 1 wouldn’t he talking for it. !
But it has done the work for me and |
1 don't hesitate to recommend it.”
