MYSTERY AND MAGIC
Jossefy—-Necromancer De-
lights Hollis Audience
With Famous Stunts
(Crowded out last week).
Joaeffy came, Hollis saw and was con-
vinced. For Joeeffy does some things.
At the Methodist church, as second
number of the Hollis Lyceum Course,
last night, to a pacKed house, he per
formed the most amazing of ledgermain
trick—black art stunts—or whatever
you may choose to call it. Joaeffy him-
self says, "To not believe anything you
■ee."
Rut the fact is that you saw some
mysterious things or thought you saw
them, which is equally as had for you
Prior to the evening's entertainment he
came up to the Tribune office and dis-
mayed we simple minded natives by
matting us believe that he was taking a
■olid ring from off a solid string that
we[held in our own hands—we holding
each end of the string, leaving him the
middle to conjure with. He took it off
and put it bacK on a dozen times, differ
ent ones holding the string and exam
ining the solid ring. He toox it off and
put it bacK or made us believe he did,
which is as bad for us. He said that he
could taKoa big enough ring off a rope
We believe he could.
At the evening's entertainment the
writer couuted 10 cards and put them
in his inside coat pocKet; Will Decker,
who was here from Dallas putting in
the Tribune's big presses, counted 11
cards and put them in his inside coat
pocuet and buttoned his coat. Joseffy
then asked Decker to name the figure,
3, 4 or 5. Decker took 5, then Joseffy
said he would tate cards from DecK-
er's pocKet and put thuin in the pocxet
of the writer. He waved his wand,
snapped his fingers, gently touched
Deeuer then the writer. We took out
our cards, Decner had 9 card3 and the
writer had 21. We certainly had the
cards, or what is even worse on us.
thought we had them.
Numerous other mystifying acts were
perpetrated on the audience, equally as
great as the ones mentioned, we mention
the ones we had jajrsonal aequaintano *
with for convenience, and besides every-
one does not like to have it told on him
as to how easy he is worKed.
Joseffy is good, any audience needing
something in his line will do well to get
a dat<- from him. The Hollis Lyceum
course has some other wonderful attrac-
tions coming and everyone whow.1. .t-
Hollis to have the best of every thing
should go to the City Grocery Co., and
purchase a season ticket. And another
year Hollis should have a bigger course
and with plenty of season tiOKets sold
each individual will get these rare en-
tertainments lor as small a sum as 'io
cts each.
Attachment Papers Served
on McQueen Merchant
Monday morning Deputy Sher-
iff Joe Tarpley went out to Mc-
Queen and served attachment
papers on some goods of the W.
J. Bell stock. Also some of Bell's
townsite property was put in
hock, by some sort of legal process.
Bell made an assignment a few
weeks ago, and the property at
attached on this occasion was
sought to be protected by a deed
to a relative, but the deed was
found to be insufficient to hold
and the present papers were
served on behalf of the McQueen
Bank.

Essay a Stunt in Most
Wonderfully Planned
Villainy; Now Reg-
istered at De-
tention Office
Three men in the Harmon county jail
and one somewhere on the skiddoo trail
form the main announcement of late
late piece of home-made brigandage.
Three down cast Mexicans, moneyless
and melancholy, are additonal features
of the affair.
Rob and Geo. Jhonson, brothers, and
Jess Hopper, are the men behind the
'cruel bars' and Charles Hopkins is the
fugitive. The Mexicans have the usual
unpronounceable and unspellaMe Span-
ish names. The <Jreer county men are
young men.
The charge against the Johnson broth-
ers are being accessory to a crime of
robbery, and the charge against Hopper
is that of the commitment of the crime.
The man t tat made a get-away is
charged with being accessory. The
Mexicans are the victims an 1 the money
they gave up amounted to about $8U
and it was money made in the employ
of the Johnsons.
The story runs that after the Mexi-
cans had finished up the crop the John-
son boys represented to them that they
had another crop over across the Texas
line and they all started out ostensibly
to go there and picK it. They left their
home at Marie, Greer county at noon
Saturday and camped for the night mid-
way between Reed and Francis. In the
party were the Johnson boys and
Charles Hopuins. After nightfall there
suddenly appeared in camp a masKed
man with an evil looning pistol ihat he
pointed at the Mexicans, calling on all
hands to surrender their spondulix. Tho
entire party promptly threw up its
hands and gave up the money, which
was mostly possessed by the Mexicans.
When the matter came to the atten-
tion of the officers they suspected that
it had not been an honest, bona fide
sort of robbery, a robbery without a
square deal. Deputy sheriff John
Crane went over from Hollis to assist
with the result that on Tuesday the
three men mentioned were brought to
Hollis and lodged in the little concrete
boarding house of which Joe Tarpley

is the man who sells you goods when you have not
got the money. Why do you want to spend your
money with a man who would not sell you a sack of
flour on credit if your family was starving. Do not
spend your mney, when the fall season is here, with
a man who wouldn't sell you a shroud for your dead
baby if you didn't have the money.
I have everything in the Dry Goods line that you could possibly want, in addi-
tion to my fine line of Greceries, that are going at a special sale.
I have just returned from the northern markets with a fine line of Fall goods
that are going at the best prices in town. We can fit you for anything you want.
The Mrs. Pattersons have at my place the most up-to-date stock of millinery
in Hollis. LET THEM SHOW YOU.
Remember to spend your money with the man who
favored you wh^„ \cu didn't have the money.

Transporting Liquor
Saturday night at McQueen,
two boys named respectively
Phillips and Walker, were taken
in custody by deputy sheriff
Frank Renner, charged with
transporting intoxicating liquor.
They had thirteen pints in their
possession when they were cap1
tured. They were brought to
-Hollis and lodged in Jail. Phil-
lips has made bond but Walker
was not so fortunate. The bond
was fixed at $500 each.

on the train at Frederick, selling
crazy water to a couple of nig-
gers and detained by Sheriff F.
C. Carter who asked of him the
favor of staying with the county

off the train and remained with
them a few days, later paying a
fine and securing his release.
