A RESPECTED
CITIZEN IS GONE
The death angel descended
suddenly at 7 o'clock Wednesday
night and plucked the spark of
life from the enfeebled body of
one of Bartlett's most sterling
citizens Allen Duncan, Sr.
For many months this aged
gentleman has suffered with
complications resulting from dis-
eased kidneys, and his end came
without warning, as much of a
shock to his nhvsicinns as it was
to the members of the family
who were present.
Mr. Dnncan, who was affec-
tionately known as "Uncle
Allen," expired at the age of 71
years 5 months and 4 days. He
has continuously resided in this
Btate for thirty-five years, nearly
thirty of which he has spent in
the vicinitv of Bartlett, first en-
gaging in the farming industry
and later in the mercantile chan-
nels. At the time of his death
he was thedirectinc head of the
Duncan Hardware Conmanv. one
of Bartlett's foremost mercantile
institutions.
Mr. Duncan's wife preceded
him into the hereafter several
years ago. Six children survive
him three daughters and three
sons four of whom were at the
bedside when he returned his
soul to his Maker.
The passing of this sterling
citizen is a heavy blow, not alone
to his family but to the business
interests and to his many firm
iriends.
The last rites over the remains
are to be held today at 4 p. m.,
from the home. Interment will
hf in thft Rnrtlett cemeterv. and
the foilowing will be active pall
bearers: U. E. Scales, b. v.

Wilson, Theo Jones and D. L.

Temple, Feb. 5. Property to
the value of $10,000 was de-
stroyed here in a fire of unknown
origin last night that laid waste
the two-story, residence of J.
Freeman Moore, together with
most of its contents and a house-
mover's outfit that was in use
about the place. The dwelling
was known as the Jonathan
Moore home place and was one
of the landmarks. It was being
moved to a new location and had
not yet been set upon its new
location when the fire destroyed
it. Partial insurance was car-
ried. The cause of the fire is
under investigation.
Death of Homer T Wileon
With deep regret the Tribune
bares its head to the memory of
Homer T. Wilson, who passed
into the great beyond at San
Antonio on Wednesday of the
present week.
Mr. Wilson's entire lifetime
was devoted to the furtherance
of everything that pertained to
true Christianity. As a lecturer,
as a scholar and as true disciple
of scriptural injunctions he fol-
lowed the direct path. We re-
gret his loss and we mourn with
those who reverence his dear
memory.
Don't forget the
meeting Saturday.

Houston, Feb. 6. The body of
Thomas S. Earl, proofreader on
an afternoon newspaper and one
of the claimants of the big es-
tateleft by the late Francis A.
Ogden, was found this afternoon
in a small cistern in the rear of
the Earl home.
The dead man left a note in
which he said: "For sixty-two
years my name has been with-
out a stain, and 1 die an honest
man. I do not fear the search-
light of Almighty God upon the
will of Francis A. Ogden that I
offered for probate, upon the
statements concerning same nor
upon anv act of mine or my at-
torneys in trying to consummate
Mr. Ogden's wishes."
The death of Mr. Earl today
was the climax of a series of in-
teresting events which followed
the death last June of Mr. Ogden
whose property was officially ap-
praised at $2,000,000.
Thirty days after Mr. Ogden's
death, Earl placed a document
purporting to be the holographic
will of Ogden in the hands of
Judge Kittrell to be filed for
probate. Earl published a sworn
statement explaining the matter
in which he obtained the docu-
ment. In this statement Earl
said he did not intend to profit
by the will, and offered to leave
the estate to a board of trusteee
to be distributed in nonformifv
with the wishes of 6 g d e n.
Judge Kittrell today made ano-
ther statement reaffirming his
belief in the purity of Earl's
integrity.

The Temple Telegram of Wed-
nesday says in part:
Sheriff Hugh Smith and Depu-
ty Robinson were called to near
Heidenheimer last night on com-
plaint of a Mrs. Eads that her
son-in-law had assaulted her
with. criminal intent.
The officers, who left here at
midnight, brought back A. W.
Collier who is charged with the
crime. Ho was taken before
Justice Cooper where his bond
was fixed at $1,500. which he has
failed to give.
Mrs. Eads is the step-mother
of Collier's wife and a woman of
about 40 years of age. Collier's
wife is a young woman, several
years his junior.
A bulldog owned by Mrs. Eads
proved her protector. He at-
tacked the assailanjpf his mis-
tress and compelled him tore-
lease his intended victim.

eran editor of the Taylor Daily

He was a prominet Odd Fellow

cently gave out instructions to
National banks throughout the
country that they must not per
mit the issuance of overdrafts
by their banks. This order was
promul gated in Washington on
Jan. 28th, and was thailed to the
various banks throughout the
country. Texas banks received
their instructions from Washing-
ton last Saturday.
In order to avoid offending
anyone by refusing to permit
overdrafts, the Texas banks will
probably do as some of the other
states are doing and post notices
calling attention to this ruling
of the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency, whicn is mandatory upon
them and consequently gives
them no opportunity to avoid its
edict, be their personal wishes
what they may
