I Ht WAXAHACHIE VOLUME XVI. WAXAHACHIE, TEXAS. SATURDAY, DAILV lighi. STRIKERS GUSH WITHJEPUTIES Bloody Engagement Between the Coal Miners and Alabama OHicers at Jefierson. MILITIA IS ORDERED OUT Numerous Fights and Atrocities Are Reported From the Entire Min ing District—A Deputy Mortally Wounded. Birmingham, Ala., Jul} 18.—Rob tilt Gardner, a deputy marshal, fatal ly wounded, and at least a dozen miners more or less seriously shot, is the result of an attack on a train bearing strikebreakers to take the places of union miners at Jefferson, near here, yesterday. The train was in charge of thirteen deputies and was en route to Adamsvjlle. It is said the union miners attempted to in duce the strikebreakers to leave the train and threatened to kill them if they went to work. Governor Comer has ordered a company of cavalry from Montgomery to the scene and troops already on the ground are un der arms and will patrol the district preventing disorder. Deputy Gardner, mortally wound •ed, was brought to Birmingham last night. Deputy Smith, who accom panied him. estimates that no less than 1,000 shots were fired by both sides in the attack at Jefferson. Ac cording to Smith, the engagement was op?ned when a train bearing fif ty strikebreakers attempted to leave Jefferson for Adamsville. Prior to this a number of union miners had made overtures to the strikebreakers to join their ranks, threatening at the same time to kill them in case they attempted to work the mines of the operators. In this emergency the deputies at tempted to have the train run out of Jefferson under fire if necessary. An open switch, however, brought the engine to a stop, and in this predica ment the deputies and strikebreakers were fired upon. Bullets riddled the train and that more men were not killed and injured was due to the fact that they fell to the floor and remained there. The deputies return ed the fire and declare that at least a dozen miners were either killed or wounded. At this juncture Gardner fell mortally wounded. The engagement was brought to a conclusion when the train .was enab led to make headway. Gov. Comer has placed all the troops of the state in the hands of Sheriff Hlgdon and he will order out as many men as deemed necessary. Last night from Montgomery two field guns and other arms were re ceived. There is not a weapon un employed in Birmingham, and am munition is running low. The union men take the position that they are being mistreated by the deputies whom Sheriff Higdon commands. There are about BOO of these officers scattered through the mining territory, and union leaders have implored the sheriff to protect them from the cruelty (as they claim) of the deputies. William Farley, member of the na tional committee of the union, ex pressed satisfaction when he learn ed that Governor Comer had called out the troops. We make and serve our own cream. That's the reason you get so much. And the quality of cream; we put in the ingredients that's good to begin with.

GO WITH DOOMED MEN Enlist as Recruits to the Robber Band and Watch Their Chance to Kill Bandits—Caught OH Guard. City of Mexico, July 18.—Details of the killing of the famous bandit, Cenobia Rodriguez El Jorobado, and his two companions, Antonio and Polycarpio Reyes, have just been received here. The bandits, charged with killing S. P. S. Jones, an Am erican, as well as with many other crimes, were shot while they slept. Three rurales sent out to capture El Jorobado and his gang, made a mock attack on a hacienda near which the robbers were encamped. The latter took the supposed recruits in. These watched and traveled with the bandits for five days, awaiting a chance to catch the real robbers oft guard and execute the orders of the governor of the state of Durango to take the men dead or alive. Finally i El Jorobado and his two companions j who were suspicious of the recruits up to this time, relaxed their vigi 1 lance and went to sleep together. I The three rurales promptly shot them to death. i CHAUTAUQUA BROUGHT TO CLOSE i j Ninth Annual Encampment Came t< an End Friday Night. j The ninth annual encampment ol the Waxahachie Chautauqua came to la rioto Friday night, and Saturday I was get away day tor the Chautau j quans. Some people broke camp and left for their homes Friday afternoon I but the most of the campers remain I ed for the ftnal exercises. The closing entertainment was ful I ly in keeping with the high class attractions which marked the entire [encampment. A most interesting demonstration in modern science I was given by Prof. J. Earnest Wood i land of Rochester, Ν. Y. He gave a brief story of the invention of the ι electric telegraph and then with a I wireless apparatus he demonstrated how messages may be sent from one J point to another without the use of wires. Other experiments Included the making of a great pile of snow j and the freezing of mercury in a red j hot crucible. The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audi ence. The entire encampment activities have been a splendid success. Every thing has been lovely, Including the weather, and those who spent the ten days on the ground will go home with many delights to think about and talk about. Through a combina tion of uncontrollable circumstances the attendance this year was a little below the average, but the program was the best ever provided by the management. For the first time in the history of the Institution there was not a single disappointment on the night program. This is regarded as something remarkable when the fact is taken into consideration that the entertainers engaged for this en campment several months in advance lived In widely separated sections of the country. The attractions were of a very high class and each one re ceived the approbation of the visit ors. Every entertainment was whole some, instructive and edifying. The day program was of especial interest to church workers and every department was in the hands of a capable director. The only dis appointment on this program was in the case of Dr. James Worden of Philadelphia, who was engaged to conduct the Sunday school depart ment. He was detained at home on account of illness, but his place was admirably filled by W. N. Wiggins of San Antonio and Mrs. Suggs of Fort Worth. The bible study department was ably conducted by Dr. William Evans of Chicago. The board lias been ask ed to bring him back next year If he ran be secured. Dr. F. Hyatt Smith's lectures were a literary treat. Every one who heard htm learned some thing that was helpful. In his good night words President McConnell thanked the visitors for the interest they displayed in the success of the encampment this year. He read some resolutions which wer adopted by the visitors, thank I ing the. Young Men's Chautauqua club for the splendid entertainments provided by that organization during the assembly. President McConnell expressed his and the board's appreciation of the Daily Light's reports of the encamp ment. He sai<l the paper had helped the Chautauqua in many ways, and that it had acceded to every request made by the management. Just before the lecture of the evening began, G. C. Croce, Esq., came to the platform and claimed the attention of the audience for a few moments. He said, in substance, that lie had listened with pleasure to the vote of thanks hy the Chautau qua visitors to the Young Men's Chautauqua club for the courtesies extended by it during the Chautau qua session, and that the thanks so extended were unquestionably de I serveu, oui mai ne mougiu tnat (hanks should go further, and that the patrons of the Chautauqua should extend to the management their thanks for the excellent series of entertainments furnished during the session; that while this was not usual, that this particular session had encountered adverse circumstan ces that were unusual, resulting in less attendance than the merits of the Chautauqua program deserved; and, therefore, he moved the adop tion of the following resolution; Resolved: That the thanks of the patrons of the Waxahachie Chautau qua are due, and are hereby tender ed, to the Chautauqua management for the very excellent series of en tertainments furnished during tht season of 1908, which has been, as a whole, the best since the Chautau qua began; and we pledge to th< management a renewed fealty to th< Chautauqua itself, and renewed ef forts for its continued success. Mr. Groce asked all who favored the adoption of this resolution to signify it by rising from their seats, whereupon, the resolutions was adopted by an enthusiastic and unan imous vote. One of the most delightful feat ures of this year's encampment was the juvenile work conducted by Miss Clarinne Lewellyn. This depart ment was a success from the begin ning of the encampment. More than a hundred children joined the Seton Indian council. They learned quite a number of out of door games and were given splendid athletic training. The juvenile department was tried as an experiment this year, and it was received with much popular fa vor that it will be made a perman ent feature of the encampment.

Texas, July 18.—State Health Officer Brumby will In all probability begin a campaign against the hotels and restaurants of the state in the near future on the ground that they are violating the laws for the sanitary operation of such businesses. The matter was first started by the visit of the doctor to San Antonio during the recent en campment and while there several complaints were made to him of the manner in which some of the hotels of that city were operated and inves tigating the matter State Health Offi cer Brumby dlsoovered that the pro prietors of the institutions were very negligent in the conduct of the busi nesses and that the rules provided by the state were being violated. After returning from San Antonio the doctor took the matter up with the attorney general's deparment in order to see just how far such hotels were violating the sanitary laws. Dr. Brumby went to Dallas to attend the Elks' convention. On his return a campaign will be begun to make the hotels and restaurants of the state clean up. It is understood that the state healli department will serve uo tice on hotels in almost every large city of the state directing them to begin a cleaning up crusade and to keep clean if they do not wish to be prosecuted for violation of the state sanitary law. .Judge Armstrong Speak».

The state department of agricul ture has just issued a bulletin upoi the culture, care and marketing ο pecans, which should prove of greai value tj 1 .ud owners of (he state There is a constant demand for pe cans in the market, and this demand is growing. The bulletin in question calls at tention of the farmers to the possi bilities of the pecan. The pecan flour ishes in Texas as nowhere else, save possibly in the neighboring state of Louisiana, where it is of native growth, and those having trees bear ing in pecan nuts may have them grafted. Many people have hesitated in planting pecan trees, because they are unwilling to await theiiv growth although there are many who, if thej tad planted when they first hesitated would now have profitable bearing trees. The pecan flourishes peeuliarlj well in this section and should be, and the business men who do no display vim will finally have to loa whether or not they sell out. Thirations than H.

Let us hear no more of its lamented citizen who died and went elsewhere and sent back for his over coat. The much-maligned metropolis of southwestern Arizona is no longer entitled to the palm-leaf fan as the hottest spot this side of Tophet. The hot wave which swept over New York the first of this month, ceasing temporarily to gain fresh breath for another sirrocco, entitles the Ameri can metropolis to pre-eminence as the hottest town on the map. Abas, Yuma. Records of the weather sharps may not serve to prove this conten tion. Heat, however, is not a thing to be registered by figures on a dial. Humidity and congestion add terrors to a New York summer that even Yuma knows not of. The narrow streets, lined with their sky-piercing buildings, become sweltering can yons through which the choking air waves swirl sluggishly on their mis sion of death. Under the sun's rays the asphalt pavements come to re semble rivers 6f New Orleans sorg hum, boiling and sizzling in a mighty Worse even than the downtown streets is the East Side, its squalid tenements filled with huddled, hope less millions, breathing despair and death with every gasp of fetid, filthy atmosphere. Here liante might set the scene of Mother inferno more terrible far than any that existed In the realms of his exaberant imagin ation. Here the evangelist, preachtog of fire and brimstone, might well stand silent and aghast and cease kis feeble, futile prophesies. Tragedy and pathos become com monplace on a summer day in the east side. Mothers fall to their knees on the blistering pavements and lift their hands to a sky of brass praying for a cooling zephyr that does not come. Little, naked babes, too weak t-o cry ont their misery, fit fully gasp their lives away. Scantily clad children, from whom all the joy of youth has departed, wallow weari ly on the stoops of tenements or wander listlessly through the walled lanes of this city of dreadful Tight. Arul the aged, the 111 and the infirm, shut in "by the four walls of a dun geon of New York's inquisition— I surely no haunting thought of "Home I thing after death" can frighten such as these. New York on a winter night, with its homeless and friendless va.frily seeking shelter from a blizzard'» icy blast, is a thing to wrench the heart strings; bnt the New York of a enm mer day Is too frightful and fearsome to be encompassed by mere human pity. Into this maelstrom of misery en ters one solacing assurance. The so ciety writers declare that "everbody is out of town" for tlhe summer. Which means, of course, everybody but a few sweltering millions, who in the language of the moralists, "suffer and grow strong,"' The Halomc haiw. Let us turn tor relief to some·! I thing cooling and refreshing. Noth-| Ing, I conceive, oeuld better fill the! bill than a description of .th£ cos tame worn by Gertrude Hoffman in a, performance of "A Vision of Sa lome" and other dancea, introduced this week at a Weal roof garden. Migs Hoffman, we are assured by her enterprising prees afent, weara no tights or similar incumbrances, and her entire ooetume la composed of two pieces. There le a corselet of near-jewels, built en the picket fence style of architecture, for the upper part of the body. The skirt—if it be legal to call It a skirt—-te made of material resembling window glass, so far as lta transparency Is concern ed. As for the rest·—may the good Saint Anthony Cornstalk help us— there Is nothing. No slippers! No hosiery! Nothing! But, do not blush. The perform ance, we are a Beared. Is entirely re spectable. It le a* exact imitation, for j American delectation, of the dancing of Miss Maud Allen, an American girl, who has created a sensation In England and on the continent. Miss Allen has appeared before King Ed ward and most of England's nobility, and they have Concurred in calling her "the goods." With this precedent New York is trying not to be shock »d at Miss Allen's imitator. Other- ivis·', we shall be called provincial ind prudish and become the laugh ing stock of the wise and witty jnur I uilists of Europe. A HAKI> STRUGGLE.

Out at Its Hack. I Abe Denton was here from Ney land Friday, in company with his lit j tie girl who has just recovered from a spell of fever caused by swallow ing a head from a bunch of grass. The child while playing with some other children, accidently swallowed the grass which lodged in its throat, j In a few hours it was taken with a high fever which lasted about 11 I days and about this time, what seem ed to be a large blood boil, appeared under the right shoulde r blade which burst, and when Mrs. Denton j started to dress the place she dis covered the head of the grass pro truding from the wound having worked il» way from the right lung where it first lodged. The child is now fat and appears to be in good health.—Campbell Enterprise. LOCAL NEWS.

July 18.—J have1 known "Bob" Willlahis many y^ars He is a well informed, plain, honest J man, of the people and for the peo-1 pie. Those who are unable to find I anything against Hob Williams and make fun of him as an "ignorant blacksmith." should remember th» learned blacksmith who learned at the forge forty languages. Like President Grant and Washington, in-! stead of being a gas bag—a "great public speaker," he is a man who speaks in doing things. His experi ence as a former member of the leg islature especially qualifies him to hold the reins of Texas government His neighbors honor and love him. As governor he will be no man's, no classes of men's governor, but the governor for all the people of Texas. His direction of Texas' governmental affairs will do much to revive the ι confidence of capital in building and improving the sorely needed rail roads for the fifty-five counties o£ Texas, in bringing in the capital sorely needed to develop manufac turing and all other Texas interests, to give the "laboring man" employ ment, to enable the poor man to have the facilites for settling and getting a home in the wilderness of Texas, i in giving the farmer better times— a blessing to every interest of Texas. He will be elected without "40,000" or a bank to elect him. When elected he will not so guide matters that it will require a large part of the time necessary to his official duties to j travel over Texas, impugn the mo- tives of many thousands among the best people of Texas who cannot sneeze when he takes snuff—by stat ing they are the bribed servants of corporations, and try to prop up his j weak administration ty all sorts of evasive apologies. When Rob Wil- liams announced I did not believe he could be elected. Now, I do not be lieve the suffering people will permit him not to be elected. 1 believe he will be elected by a large majority (REV.) W. A. JARREL. Muskogee Jubilee. i Muskogee, Okla., July 18.—A big J jubilee festival, celebrating the re-1 moval of restrictions from the sale j of Indian lands in that part of the new state formerly known as Indian Territory, will be held here during j the coming week.
