between Stephenville and
lin and three to four miles
north of Dublin for several
weeks past. While the gentle-
men have made no public reports
and have in fact been particular
not to do so, it is known that
they recognize the territory
mentioned as even more inviting
than the field about Thurber and
Strawn showed to be before
operations were begun there.
As a result of the investiga-
tions the Swenson interests have
platted a territory of ten thous-
and acres along the Alarm Creek
valley in the Hickey school
house community and are now
engaged in procuring leases up-
on the lands within the platted
section. Dr. Oxford has this
week been engaged in securing
leases on behalf of the Swen-

DEATH FROM POISON WAS
NARROWLY AVERTED.
Loraine, the little nine year
old niece of Mrs. Will McCamp-
bell of this city and daughter of
J. T. P. McCampbell of FT.
Worth, narrowly escaped death
last Sunday evening about 6
o'clock from carbolic poison, ac-
cidently administered. The child
was suffering with a cold and
, Mrs. McCampbell intended to
give some cough syrup and in
doing so made a mistake of get-
ting the wrong bottle and pour-
ing out nearly a teaspoonful of
the acid which she gave to the
child. The cough syrup had
been kept on the dresser and the
acid in the drawer. Some of the
children had taken the acid out
of the drawer and placed it on
the dresser. The bottles were
about the same size and the
liquid appeared alike and thus
the error. Only the hurried ar-
rival of a physician saved the
life of the child, who has since
recovered from ail ill effects,
though its lips, tongue and
throat were fearfully burned.
BROWNWOOD" BOYS
HIKING TO FRISCO.
Roy Farmer and S. Reynolds,
two Brownwood boys, left that

that they have reached Arizona

before ending their journey.
