Orange. Texas. May 21, 19fr3:
To-the Honorable City Council of Or-
ange:
Gentlemen: I hereby tender to your
body my unqualified res'«nation as
mayor of the city of Orange to take
effect this day.
I do so in a sense of Justice to my-
self and to the people of Orange.
1 want to say to you, geutlemen,
that my relations with you and with
all the members of the city council
with whom 1 have served during uiy
term as mayor have Ue^n most pleas-
ant.
I have found this body ever ready
to cooperate in any undertaking
which was deemed of benefit to the
ctty of Orange.
You have labored faithfully, and as
to what has been accomplished during
the thirteen months which has been
my pleasure to serve as mayor of the
town of Orange Is a matter of public
knowledge of which I shall not further
speak. My relations with all the city
official*, with possibly one exception,
have been most cordial and pleasant.
I have found all ready and willing to
work In harmony with the administra-
tion and for the upbuilding of Orange.
I would suggest that your body take
such atclon in regard to calling an
election for the purpose of electing a
mayor to succeed me a3 you may
deem expedient. After li Is done,, upon
presentation of the bill of expenses
iuourred in holding the election I will
gladly pay over to the city secretary
the amount of said bill.
without him at this time. I am sure
everybody will say he has been the
best mayor Orange has ever had. I
therefore make a motion to table the
resignation."
.«r. Link: "Gentlemen^ I am no
longer mayor. /
"My resignation has already taken
effect.'
"The resignation cannot be tabled.
I have the right to resign and I must
insist upon your taking the proper ac-
tion .If you wish it will .afford me plea-
sure to give you such assistance as
Ilea in my power during the next \
month until your new mayor Is elect- j
ed, but l insl.it upon resigning."
Mr. Crager: "I move that the mayor)
withdraw his resignation for 30 or 60
days, só that the work now in progress
can be gotten In proper ¡ shape," r
Mr. "STiler seconded this motjon.
Mr. Link: "Now, gentlemen, I ap-
preciate what you say. T am willing
to do anything to help along Orange.
But I cannot withdraw this resigna-
tion. It is complete and final. My hon-
or as a man—my principles as a man
compel me to withdraw from your
body. I will meet with you for the
next — days If you wish me."
Mr. Miller: "We are the representa-
tives óf the people and are responsi-
ble to 4h«-"people, and 'we refuse to
accept your resignation."
Mr. Crager:"If we accept this resig-
nation. and I admit that you as a
gentleman Bhould resign, It seems to
me that for the time being you should
withdraw until prohibition goes into
effect, which will not be for 60 days.
We want you for our mayor until
your successor is elected."
Mr. Ogden: "The mayor stated in
his letter that he would not resign
until prohibition went into effect."
Mr. Sholars: "We need you more
right how than any other time. Im-
portant proceedings are before us and
we cannot see oUr way to accepting
this immediate resignation."
Mr. Link: "You gentlemen should
be more considérate. I want to re-
sign. It will give me pleasure to be
of assistance to you. I am. interested
in the growth of Orange sufficiently to
exert myself all I can to be of service
to you."
Mr. Wlndom: "I feel like we must
accept the Inevitable, and I move that
the council accept the resignation.
Our associations with Mayor Link
have been exceedingly pleasant and I

Sensational Developments in
Fort Worth Damage Suit
Fort Worth, Texas, May 21.—The
climax has been reached in the now
famous personal injury damage case
of Oran Hosklns against the Frisco
railroad company in the practical ad-
mission of the plaintiff, who was re-
cently awarded a judgment In the
district court for $35;000, that he was
shamming.
The plaintiff claimed that he was
injured by a Frisco car door falling on
him while* employed as clerk by the
Krlaco nine months ago. Since "that
he has lain at his home in a practical-
ly unconscious condition. A few days
ago he was taken to the hospital, and
submitted to rigid tests of physicians
in the effort to determine whether he
was really Injured or not.
The end came last night. The phy-
sicians placed Hosklns on an operat-
ing, tablo and made arrangements to
make an incision in his head. When
Hosklns observed the keen edged in-
struments and smelt the fumes of
ether, he spoke for the first time.
This afternoon Mrs. Hoskins and
heir son were placed under arrest on
warrants charging them with conspir-
acy to defraud and for perjury. Up to
a late hour"neither had-.furnished
bond; and were in custody of the sher*
Further sensational • developments
are looked for.
Fort Worth, Texas, May 21,.—A sen-
sational statement was made by Joe
B. Wilder, county prisoner, to .County
Attorney Lattimore here last night,
implicating Joe Wolf, who is being
held for the murder of James Wilson,
in killing of Walter Miller in this city
on September 1.1, IflOO. The sensation
is almost equal tg that caused by the
breaking down of Oran Hoskins, the„
plaintiff in the $35,000 damage suit
against the Frisco.
Today Wilder, Lizzie Melton and
Susie Buchanan were, given an exam-
ining trial in Justice Terrell's court.
The hearing was not concluded, but
evidence connected Wolf with the
Miller murder. Miller-'s body was
discovered' along the Rock Island
tracl;s and he lvid ben' shot and stab-
bed and his head beaten wilh a coup-
ling pin. The motive of the murder
was said to be robbery. The hearing
will be continued tomorrow.
tesy.
The motion was seconded by Mr.
Hunt.
Mr. Crager then Withdrew his mo-
tion for the mayor to withdraw his
resignation for thirty days.
Mayor pro tem Sholars then said
that it was necessary for an election
to be ordered to fill the mayor's chair.
Mr. Crager moved the matter of
holding an election be deferred until
the next regular meeting of the coun-
cil, the second Tuesday in June, and
in the meantime Mr. Sholars to act
as mayor pro tem. After a long dis-
cussion on the subject by a4l the coun-
cllmen, it was finally agreed that
nothing be done until the next regu-
lar meeting.
The council then adjourned.
