the Wiles troubles, at Wilmer
Sunday morning-. Being warned
by a letter sent to his home in
Oklahoma, that his daughter was
being mistreated by her hus-
band, John W. Brannum and his
son W. R. Brannum, arrived in
Wilmer Sunday evening and af-
ter making investigations and
hearing evidence which caused
them to believe that Wiles hired
the negro to enter the room of
his wife for the purpose of kill-
ing her, an account of which was
given in this paper recently, the
father ancbson set out to seek
Wiles, and met him on the road.
The father called on Wiles to
halt, but instead of doing so he
attempted to pull his revolver,
but was shot by his father-in-law.

The following item was taken
from the Alpine paper, and re-

and wife, of this city. George
has a wide circle of friends here
who are glad to hear of this evi-
dence of appreciation from his
congregation and ,friends in Al-
pine, as he is fully worthy of
their highest esteem:
Rev. George McCallum was so
years old last Saturday, and his
friends of the Christian Endeavor
Society gave him the surprise of
his life. Leastwise he will not
deny that it was a surprise, but
a careful observer might have
discovered him seated in a big
peach tree, partially concealed by
its odorous foliage, watching tire
guests arrive. But the real, sure-
enough surprise came when
Judge A, B. Burton, on behalf of
the company, presented Mr. Mc-
Callum with a handsome purse
well filled with real lucre—simo-

He was certainly not prepared
for that, and could not murmur
his appreciation.
The hostess of this happy oc-
casion was Mrs. B. E. Hess, who
never “had a party” before in
her life—tbo she acknowledges
to the age of 62. The good lady
proved that she had found at
last, her real social yocation—for
the entertainment left nothing to
be desired. Her granddaughter
Mrsv^Will Cline, "deftly and pret-
tily decorated the parlor with
flowers and evergreen, and as-
sisted in receiving.
Games, music and conversation
made several hours slip quickly
away, then refreshments of cake
and punch were served. Dainty
boutoniers of white carnations
were pinned to the guests. Mrs.
McDannell presented the honoree
with a big birthday cake, accom-
panied by a poetical tribute that
caused much merriment, and he
was also given several other
cakes and beautiful boquets.
Among those who contributed
to the music were Mrs. Lulu
Cline, Richard Armistead, Rev.
George McCallum and Roscoe

Sunday’s News contained the
following announcement of the
death of Dr. Addison Clark:
“The death of Addison Clark,
founder ot Texas Christian Uni-
versit}', occurred at 4 o’clock this
morning at the home of his
daughter in Comanche, the cul-
mination of an illness of two
months’ duration. Deceased was
about 68 years of age and was
recognized as one of the most in-
fluential ministers of the Chris-
tian church in Texas. He was a
native of the state and served
four years in the Confederate
Army. In 1872 he founded a
school at Fort Worth, which sub-
squently became the Add-Ran
College at Thorp Spring and fin-
ally the Texas Christian Univer-
sity. Until 1900 he served as
president of the college, which
he had founded nearly thirty
years earlier. He is survived by
two sons and three daughters.”
Dr. Clark was well known and
greatly beloved in Lancaster.
He founded the College at Lan-
caster, and here as elsewhere
was acknowledged as a great
school man and Christian gentle-
man. He has delivered the bac-
calaureate sermon for both the
public school and College in
years gone by and addresses at
various important events. His
death is generally regretted in
the community.

in the bones and muscles and
