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.

Cuero, Tex., March 23.—Con

hanged here today for the mur
der of Willian E. Earle, a tele

robbed the railroad station where
Earle was at work, at Yorktown,

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

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.
