acre tract.
This deal has been pending for
some time, and the forfeit has
been up, but the parties were
waiting until the deeds could be
drawn and abstracts made. i
Mr. Russell is a stock holder
and one of the organizers of the
Farmers & Merchants Stath Bank,
and we understand he will sub-
divide this land into small tracts
of from 160 acres up and put it
on the market to be sold to far-
mers. This will make homes for
at least fifty families, and means
a great deal towards the devel-
opment of the thousands of acres
of undeveloped farming land in
this county.
Marble Falls, Tex., April 9.—
Mrs. Mollie Moore, residing near
here, was burned to death this
morning when her dress caught
fire from a burning trash pile
while cleaning the yard. The
dead woman’s husband is a
wealthy land owner and the fam-
ily is prominent in this section of
the country.
Mrs. R. K. Wylie is here from
Mineral Wells for the purpose of
closing a land deal between her-
self and Dick Russell, of San An-
tonio, in which Mrs. Wylie sells
to Mr. Russell ten thousand acres
of land out of the Wylie ranch on
the Colorado river, for a total
consideration of $90,000.
It will be remembered that the
Wylie ranch was sold some time
ago, or at least part of it was
sold to Col. R. A. Smith. Mrs.
Wylie retained ten thousand acres
and Mn Wylie retained some-
thing like eight thousand acres,
and Mr. Smith purchasing the
balance of the thirty thousand
Austin, Tex., April 12.—The
State Comptroller today refused
to issue license to an applicant
from Beaumont to sell liquor on
excursion steamers. He held that
the law does not provide that
such license can be issued, but
does not provide that minors
shall not frequent premises where
liquor is sold, as would be the
case on excursion boats.

Several persons who happened
to be in Pittsburg a few Sundays
ago witnessed an incident which
threw a very interesting side-
light on the almost limitless pos-
sibilities of high-class railroad
service under modern conditions.
Two of the party—a newspa-
per man and a well known Chic-
ago broker, happened to be in
conversation with one of the traf-
fic officials of the Pennsylvania.
Suddenly there entered on the
scene a wild-eyed individual who
announced himself between gasps
as the special representative of a
theatrical company which had
missed train connections for
Chicago, but which had to be in
that city in time for an evening
performance.
‘ The traffic manager asked two
or three leading questions about
the same number of seconds, got
a complete grasp of the situation,
and arranged for a special train
in another instant.
Within half an hour a special
train, consisting of three baggage
cars, two coaches and two sleepers
pulled out of the Pittsburg yards.
It carried 86 passengers in addi-
tion to all the baggage of
company, and a dining car
added at Ft. Wayne.
The two Chicagoans, who
been permitted to travel on
train, were very much impressed
with the smoothness and ease with
which the whole thing was done.
Nothwistanding the presence at
the Pittsburg station of four scorq
of excited people, all demanding
to know different things at once,
the work of making up and load-
ing the train proceeded with the
utmost swiftness. The necessary
right-of-way orders were dispatch
ed and there was not a single
hitch during the entire run.
It was an example of marvelous
facilities of a modern railroad or-
ganization in the matter of meet-
ing emergencies, which certainly
opened the eyes of all who wit-
nessed it.
