CASE OF JOHN KEYS ON TRIAL
Defendant Charted with Assault
with Intent to Murder.
The Bret criminal case called for
trial in the district court ws* that
of the state of Texas against John
Keys who Is charged with assault
with intent to murder. The case
went to trial this morning immedi-
ately after the convening of court.
There is a large crowd of witnesses
and the case Is evoking considerable
■ interest. The circumstances of the
I difficulty from which the case oritri-
j nated are known to the readers of
thls'paper hut a brief summary
! of the facts might prove of interest
ju«t at this particular time. John
\ Keys is a young farmer whf> lives
' in the Οϊγο community. One night
1 last fall a magic lantern show was
ι triven at a school house nf-ar Ozro.
Ed Durrett and several friends were
there. After the show a difficulty
of some kind came up; in attempt-
ing to (juell the disturbances Con-
Stable Bentley was stabbed with a
knife. A complaint was filed again st
Durrett who in the meantime bad
left the community. However he
returned in a f*<w days and came to
Waxahachi»· and surrendered to the
officers. He was indicted by the
grand jury last winter but his trial
was continued until the present
term of court. Indictments were
also returned against Jim Newman
John Phillips and John Keys im-
plicating them with Durrett. All of

An Old Paper.
Through the courtesy of Alfred C.
Mat-kin city mail carrier we have
on our desk a copy of the Dublin
Newe-Letter published at Dublin
Ireland by Itichard RelHy under
date of "From Tuesday June 23
to Saturday June 27 1741." The
I
News-Letter is quite a novelty In
journalism as compared wltb ths
modern newspaper. ïi coutaJue
only two pages set in old style type.
One page is devoted exclusively to
book dealers' advertisements. On
the news page is a map showing the
plan of Carthagena its harbors and
forts. A graphic account is given
of the battle of Carthagena in which
the Spanish fleet was entirely de-
stroyed by the British.
She Sleeps in Peace.
Sister Capitola W. McClanahan
the beloved wife of our worthy
brother Wm. McClanahan is no
more. On the morning of June 17th
she sank quietly and peacefully to
rest surrounded by kind and loving
friends whose earnest prayer was
that she ini^rht be spared to them.
A gentle and noble spirit left its
prison house of rlav and mounted
to a higher and nobler sphere. She
is gone nut her memory will l>e
cherished by all who had the good
fortune to know her. Asa wife and
mother she was kind and affection-
ate living a life which made her
home a happy one. As a church
member she was faithful and true
ever willing to make any sacrifice
which she felt might advance the
cause of the Master. As a member
of Waxahachie Kebekah lodge No.
141 I. O. O. F she practiced fully
in her every-day life the lessons
taught in the lodge room. No case
of misery or distress came within
her observation that she did not
work faithfully to relieve; no bitter
tear th»»t she did not seek to dry
and no bruised and bleeding heart
that she did not strive to bind.
Your committees offer the follow-
ing resolutions and ask their adop-
tion :
Resolved that we tender to Bro.
McClanahan our condolence and
sympathy at the pre at lose he has
sustained.
Resolved second that as a trib-
ute to the memory of our sister the
above be spread upon the minutes
of the Waxahaehie Rebekah
lodge No. 141 and Waxahaehie
lodge No. SO I. O. O. F.; that an
engrossed copy be furnished our
brother and that the local press
and the Texas Odd Fellow be re-
quested ta publish the same.

CORONATION IS POSTPONED
The Illness of Kint Edward
Causes Gravest Apprehension.
Special to the Ljomt :
London June 24.—On account of
the illness of King Edward the cor-
onation ceremonies have been in-
definitely postponed.
The king is suffering from phle-
betie an inflamed condition of the
veins. An operation was necessary
which was successfully performed
today at 2 p. m. The king stood
the operation without losing con-
sciousness.
The sudden announcementJof the
postponement* of the coronation
ceremonies spread like wildfire and
caused consternât!' η everywhere.
The utmost apprehension is now
felt concerning the condition of the
king. Occupants of the streets gaze
upon one another in silent dread
fearful of what may come next.
Before You Tell a Secret.
If you are just on the point of
making a confidence it is a good
plan to pause before doing so to
note the proportion between the
times you have regretted giving a
confidence and the times you have
regretted withholding it. If after
this you decide upon making your
friend a confidant you must have
weighty reasons for thinking him
worthy of it.—Ex.
Young Old Men.
A writer in the Cornhill declares
that "in the earlv last century a
man was a man at twenty or so a
middle aged man a thirty and old at
fifty. At the present tim^ he is a
boy up to about thirtv-five a young
man up to fift and he is hardly re-
garded as old until he has exceeded
David's maximum of life by six or
seven years."
