TRAINMAN HAD

FLIRTED WITH WIFE.

Section Foreman Takes Shot at

Engineer and Threatens

Brakeman Because They Flirted With His Wife.

Texarkana, March 23.—Freight train No. 97, Iron Mountain, coming south, was held up at 5

a. m. today by a drunken section foreman named Fred Snellin at

Bowden. Snellin shot at Engineer Winn

and threatened to kill the brake- man if he flagged the tram for- ward. The train finally backed to Prescott and officers were

brought back, who arrested Snel- lin, Brakeman Hellem had Snel- nil tied when the officers arrived, having knocked him down with a Winchester. The holdup was

not for the purpose of robbery. Snellin was jealous because his

wife had waved at the trainmen. Snellin shot the windows out of the cab.

WERE MISTAKEN ABOUT THE DATE.

Some one started the report soon after the approval of the act that it would become effective March 23. This was accepted by all without apparent investiga- tion, and all the insurance com-

panies, acting on this theory, in- structed their agents to cease

writing business on March 22, the day before it was supposed the law became effective. It de- velops, however, upon a mo-

ment's calculation, that the act does not become effective until midnight of March 24, as it was

approved by Gov. Davis at 10 a.

m., January 23, to become effect- ive sixty days thereafter. The sixty days expire March 24, at midnight.

RABBI HELPS DETECTIVES.

Hot Springs. March 23.— Rabbi Rhine, assisted by the detective department, today nipped a clev- er swindling scheme of parties who advertised in an eastern He- brew paper for contributions for relief of Jewish fire sufferers. The party who attempted the

fraud left the city. Another party was arrested, but was re-

leased, as there was no evidence against him.

OSCEOLA MERCHANT

COMMITS SUICIDE.

Memphis. March 23.—N.Wein- berg, a merchant of Osceola, Ark., committed suicide in a lo-

cal billiard room last night bj drinking carbolic acid. He was

dead before the act of his swal- lowing the poison had been dis- covered. Weinberg left Osceola last Sunday, presumably for St. Louis. A wife and six childrer survive.

Former Senator James K. Jones, his old friends will be glad to know, is succeeding ad- mirably with his law practice at

Washington, D. C. He has offices in the big Colorado Building, on

Fourteenth and G streets, and

has as mudh business as he can

comfortably look after. His in- come from this source, he tells me, is much in excess of the sal- ary of a Senator, and he is tak-

ing life more easily than it is

possible for any man to do in the steady grind of politics. He is in perfect health and is laying his plans to spend his summer

vacation at Eureka Springs.— Batesville Guard.

BOY HANGED"FOR MURDER.

Cuero, Tex., March 23.—Con- rad Schwartz, aged about 20, was

hanged here today for the mur-

der of Willian E. Earle, a tele- graph operator. Schwartz had robbed the railroad station where Earle was at work, at Yorktown, and on the refusal of the opera- ator to open the safe, Schwartz shot him twice. Before going to the scaffold Schwartz made a

second confession and professed religion. His aged father and mother were with him until the death chamber was reached.

WHAT THEY SAY.

This is What James P. Eubank

of This City Thinks of The

International Correspond- ence Schools of Scran-

ton, Pennsylvania.

Newport, March 22, 1905. To the Public:—I cheerfully rec-

ommend the text books and meth- ods of the International Corres- pondence Schools of Scranton, Pa. These schools make it easily within the reach of all who would seek to fit themselves for higher and better paying positions to do so and at small cost. I have been a student of this institution for more than a year and consid- er my text books and the infor- mation gained, worth ten times the price paid. Have met with difficulties in my work that with- out the knowledge thus gained, I could not have overcome.

Practical experience is good, but why spend a lifetime to learn what others have learned before you. Enroll in the I. C. S.
