ceased to be a Justice’s precinct
Judge Suratt concluded his
opinion as follows:
“I find nothing in the question
of boundary that is different
from civil cases on the
question of land lines, and the
field notes correct themselves and
there is no material discrepancy,
and I conclude that the only legal
election that can be held in the
Moody precinct hereafter will be
in the identical boundaries in
which local option was eleoted,
and that it will remain in force as
adopted in 1898 until doom’s day
unless voted out by the people in
that same territory, and that the
plaintiff was properly charged
with violating the local option
law as adopted in 1898.”

Hillsboro, Tex., Feb. 18.—The
following delegation went to Aus-
tin last night to lobby for the new
judicial district to be composed
of Hill county; W. E. Spell. W.
C. Wear, C. M. Smithdeal, R. M.
Vaughan, Walter Collins and A.
P. McKinnon. They went pre-
pared to make a strong showing
and will make a hard fight for it.
They will have the assistance of
Johnson and Bosque counties,
which want to be in a district
composed of those two oounties
alone. The court dockets in these
two counties are also said to be
much congested.

In the January number of the
Confederate Veteran appeared a
picture copied from an old Da-
guerreotype, of our townsman,
Capt. F. A. Taulman, which was
made just after his enlistment in
the Confederate army, accom-
panied by a little sketch concern-
ing his service, capture, etc., etc.
In a short while Capt. Taulman
received a letter from a gentle-
man in South MeA1 ester, I. T.,
as follows:
South McAlester, I. T., Jan. 14, 1905.
F. A. Taulman, Esq.,
Hubbard City, Tex.
Dear Sir:—Seeing in the Confeder-
ate Veteran an article relating to your
career as a Confederate soldier,I write
to say that my brother, Robert A. Mc-
Kennon was a member of Gen. Mc-
Culloch’s body guard in 1861, and he
brought home with him a powder
horn inscribed, “F. TAULMAN—
SUCCESS TO THE SOUTH.” My
brother died at Lampasas, Texas, in
1877. He had given the horn to my
father, who died in 1880, and I now
have it at my home here. We have
kept it carefully and think much of it.
I do not remember distinctly how my
brother stated that he came in pos-
session of the powder horn, but think
he spoke of McIntosh’s battle with
the Creek Indians under command of
Apotholyaholah. I will be glad to
hear from you fully on the subject.
We will not plead the statutes of lim-
itations against any action you might
bring for possession of the horn. l)o
you remember my brother—or did you
know him? I think his Captain’s
name was Tremer. I belonged to
Walker’s Arkansas Regiment at Oak
Hills; was afterward, during the re-
mainder of the war, member of 16th
Arkansas lntantry.
Sincerely yours,
A. S. McKennon.
A few days ago the horn came
by express. It is in a splendid
state of preservation, and does
not appear any the worse for its
forty-four years of separation
from its original owner. It is
rather a large horn, and if Mr.
Taulman carried it full of powder
when he started for the war he
was fixed for many a shot. The
story of the horn, so Mr. McKen
nen states, was published in the
South McAlester papers. It was
also exhibited at a meeting of the
Daughters of the Confederacy at
that place just before it started
on its journey back to its former
guardian from whom it had been
separated so long. It received a
cordial welcome, and as it is a
priceless relic it will no doubt re-
main in this family a long time.
Mr. Taulman stated that it was
his grandfather’s horn.
Local Option Decision.
Honolula.—The peculiar death
of Kukahiku, a young Hawaiian,
has revived among the natives
the old belief in the power of the
gods, to whom the race used to
make human sacrifices. Kukahi
ku fell forty-seven feet in the
3ishop museum and died on an
altar of a model of an ancient
delau temple devoted to human
sacrifices.
It seems the young Hawaiian
onged to go to sea, and had
made arrangements to ship on an
American vessel, but his mother
Waco, Tex. Feb. 14.—In ren-
dering his decision in a case
heard under a writ of habeas cor-
pus before Judge Suratt, the
Court decided this morning that
legal local option exists at Moody,
McLennan county, and that per-
sons proven guilty of infraction
may be subject to the penalties
provided in such cases. The ap-
plicant who was convicted,
through his attorneys, contended
that changes in the boundaries
of the precinct in which Moody
is located invalidated the election
and that the place was wide open
for the sale of intoxicants,whole-
sale and retail. The applicant
further contended that the Con
stitution provides that elections
must be held within the Justice
precincts, and inasmuch as the
the Moody precinct embraces
more territory than was included
in the local option precinct,there
fore an election never can be
held as prescribed by the Con-
stitution in the future to deter-
mine whether or not liquor shal
be sold in the Moody precinct,
because in the changing of boun
daries by the Commissioners’
Court the local option precinct

OWL
Hi’lsboro, Tex., Feb. 18.—
There will be no road or bridge
improvement in Hill county this
year for the reason that the en-
tire road and bridge fund availa
ble for this year is exhausted and
the fund is in debt. The commis-
sioners’ court have therefore is-
sued an order that the system of
road work that has been in vogue
for several years shall be sus
pended for this year, hence there
will be no road or bridge work by
the county except in case of
floods or unforseen calamities to
them. The only work done wil
be that by overseers and roac
hands as prescribed by law.

objected so strongly that the cap-
tain refused to accept the boy.
Kukahiku was angry and, going
home, he slapped her in the face,
and cursed her in the name of
Kuhinu and other old Hawiian
gods. Then he apprenticed him-
self to a carpenter and was em-
ployed to make repairs on the
British museum. He was as-
signed to fix up the glass roof of
the Hawaiian hall, in which the
model of the old temple of human
sacrifice stands. He lost his bal-
ance and fell, striking on the al-
tar. Hie body actually took the
position of those who were sacri-
ficed, and the illusion was
strengthened by his blood which
flowed from the altar. . The
natives recalled how he had
cursed his mother, and his death
is believed to be a punishment
for his impiety.

Explained to Him.
A traveling man at a hotel re-
cently found a hair in the honey.
He went up to the proprietor and
kicked. “I can’t help it,” said
the proprietor, ‘‘I bought it for
combed honey.” The next day
he happened to run across a small
hair in the ice cream and the
landlord was called to account
for it. “The ice was shaved,”
he said. The guest was boiling,
but the next day he picked a
raven hair out of his portion of
pie and angrily jerked up the
proprietor, who turned him down
effectually as follows: “In the ap-
ple pie, eh? Well that beats the
Dutch! I bought those apples
for Baldwins.”—Beeville Picay-
une.
