Account of Killing
The Buffalo (New York) Courier
In Its issue of Thursday June 15 car-
ried tho following account of the
killing: r
Reuben B. Pooler one of the best
known grape growers in the country
and a prominent citizen here was
found murdered at the bottom of a
deep ravine on his vineyard about a
mile from his vineyard at an early
hour this morning. Mr. Pooler had
been shot twice ono bullet entering
the front of the throat and came out
near the left ear and the other en-
tering the lower part of the body. The
first wound was fatal.

body was found vthis mprning by a

Col. Morgan Jones president of the
Abilene & Southern Railway Com-
pany has filed an application with
tho State -Railroa'd Commission for
permission to register bonds aggrega-
ting $1070000 and stock amounting
to $75000 on its line of railroad from
Ballinger to Hamlin a distance of
94.4 miles. -.
Engineer Will Come Here
Engineer R. D. Parker of the Com-
mission has been detailed to inspect
the line of tho Abilene & Southern in
tho course of a week or 10 days. Mr.
Parker has lately returned from a
trip over the St. Louis Brownsville
& Mexico line and Is not expected In
Abilene until next week
"I asked for permission to register
bonds amounting to $1070000" Col
Jones said today "but will of course
accpt what tho Commission gives
me. To date there is not a dollar in
bonds registered against the Abilene
&. Southorn."
G. A. Carle representing the In-

Texas Queen of Stntes
During his travels over the state
Mr. Carl has come to the conclusin
that Texas is the queen of the na-
tion commonwealths.
"This is truly a wonderful state"
he said with enthusiasm "with bound-
less resources and absolutely no limi-
tations for development. Texas could
become secluded from the !rest of
the world and live on Texas products
and live in style too."
