Complaints are being made that
some small children have been tak-
ing unnecessary liberties with the
property of other people. Some of
them broke into the house of Mr.

threw a lot of dead chickens and
other refuse in the cistern, and
otherwise mutilated the premises.

tors to a severe penalty. Some of

Jesse Winshop, a youth of 17
year, wh» had been at work on the
railroad grade between here and
Duke for nearly a month, attemp-
ted suicide at the railroad camp
Thursday night. He had just fin-
ished shaving, and in a sudden fren-
zy made a deep incision in his
throat. Friends, who were pres-
ent, caught the weapon and prevent-
ed a tragical termination of this
young life. An ugly gash upon his
throat bears mute testimony to the
fact that his intentions were
serious. Mr. Winship was shipped
out here from Fort Worth to work
on the rairoad. His home is at
Kansas City, Mo., but he has been
quite a traveler, and has pursued a
variety of occupations. After
coming to this part he chopped
cotton for awhile. Some time ago,
while at work, he took sick, and
this was the beginning of a des-
pondency which finally resulted in
the desperate act. Lying ill,
housed and ill fed, sick and neglec-
ted, with a temperature of over 104
degrees, in a fit of mental aberra-
tion, he decided that he would rath-
er be dead than alive, for then he
svould trouble no one with his
wretchedness. Lif^ was not sweet
to this handsome youth, whose ap-
pearance would indicate that his lot
had not been ultrahard.
