grains, in some instances, are
three-fourths of an inch in length,

Another Robbery.
From all appearances the past
week it seems that the midnight
prowler and thief is abroad in
Bartlett. On Wednesday night
someone entered the residence of
R. S. Decker and rifled the pock-
ets of his pants, which were lay-
ing across a chair in his bedroom
The pockets only contained S2.20
which was taken. Mr. Decker
had just gotten returns that day
from a shipment of cattle, but
had deposited with the bank all
but the above amount.

A Bold Robbery.
On last Monday night one of
the boldest robberies in the his-
tory of this cou.Ury Was perpe-
trated in Bartlett, in which Mr.
W. P. Holland was the victim.
About ten o'clock Mr. Holland,
with his family, returned from
church, and the evening being
warm; he removed his coat and
vest and laid them on the bed.
Presently, after the other mem-
bers of the family had retired, he
picked up a banjo and played a
few pieces, laid it down and look-
ed for his coat and vest in which
was his pocket-book, but all of
them were gone and could be
found nowhere about. The pock-
et book contained about $200 in
currency and about the same
amount in checks on St. Louis,
Houston and Galveston banks,
and one or more money orders.
It seems evident that while Mr.
Holland was entertaining himself
with the banjo some sneak thief
stepped into the well-lighted room
and took the coat and vest with-
out the least noise. It was cer-
tainly a singularly bold and suc
cessful piece of work. At this
writing no clue to the robbery has
been obtained, though most dilli-
gent search has been made. Mr.
Holland is an affable, popular
merchant, and practically every-
body who knows him is his friend
and will regret that any loss be
fell him, especially this rather
heavy one, fortunately, how
ever, he is able to bear it without
serious inconvenience.
School Picnic.
A meeting of the patrons of
the German-English school, be
ing taught by Prof. Schmidt, was
held last Saturday afternoon at
which it was decided to have an
Easter Monday picnic on the
school grounds. There will be
innocent amusement for old and
young, and a ploasant time is
anticipated.
Cattle Shipment.
R. S. Decker shipped out four
carloads of cattle to the St
Louis market last Sunday. Con-
siuering the awrul weather on
stock the past winter, Mr. Deck-
er done reasonably well.
Operation Performed.
Fred, Knight, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Knight, was taken to
Temple Monday afternoon, where
on the following day he was op-
erated upon for appendicitis.
He stood the operation well and
at last accounts waa doing nicely
considering tho condition he
was in. Drs. Harlan, of Bartlett,
and Scott and White, of Temple,
attended the patient.
8 2d Degree Mason.
Mr. W. Goodrich Jones has re-
turned from Galvoston, where ho
spent a week, taking high de-
grees in Masonry. Ho is now a
32d degree membor of the fra
ternity. Tomplo Tribune.
Run Over by a Wa$on
On last Wednesday evening in
the Lone Star neighborhood, the
little four-year-old son of Mr. M.
Robertson, was run over by a
wagon, containing about 1500
pounds of corn. It passed over

juring his stomach, out it is

Reasonable Prices,
Take Notice Citizens-
Owing to the cantinious rains
the city is now in a very unsani
tary condition. This is an dffic-
ial notice to one and all that there
must be a general cleaning up of
back yards, outhouses, pig pens,
stock lots, and the like, within
the city limits, at the earliest pos-
sible moment. After you have
cleaned out the rubbish a generous
application of lime is suggested.
Don't throw trash, dead cats, or
fowls in the streets or back alleys,
It is a violationof the city law to
maintain a nuisance, such as smell
ing pig pens, stock lots, surface
pools of house or kitchen waste,
and slops. It is very disagreeable
to the neighbors adjoining such
places. There has been consider-
able complaint with reference to
the above, "but there has been no
remedy for it during the long
rainy weather. I trust that you
may now., all join with willing
hands in a general renovation and
disinfection of our city. It is the
Marshals duty to go around in
the alleys and see that a general
cleaning up is attended to.

Mayor.
Team Runaway.
On last Friday, while near tho
home of John Hunt, tho team of

and attempted to runaway, throw

fortunately not injuring him.
The wagon was loaded with two
bales of cotton ana in crossing a
low place the wagon run up
against the team, which caused
them them to scare.
