CHICAGO, July 4—Omne man was killed and another probably fatally wounded early to-day by two hold-up men who invaded a saloon on North John Lane, a stage carpenter, was shot through the head and fell dead just outside the door. The proprieter of the saloon, August Ragal, was wounded in the right breast. Lzne had stopped at the saloon for a drink. Ragal had served him and the two were talking when two young men entered and called for drinks. As the glasses were set before them they drew reyolvers and ordered the liquor cealer and his patron to hold up their hands. Reaching quickly under the bar, Ragal seized a plate and hurled it at the head of the nearest robber. In- stantly the shooting began.

Meyers was found dead with his throat cut. His wife declared two negroe burglars were his assailants. The police professed to_believe her story and released her, but they started an investigation on the theory that a man accustomed to visiting the woman killed the husband.

HOUSTON, Tex., July 4.—Ross Clarke, a prominent planter of Cal- houn County, states that he will ap- ply for an injunction to prevent the Government transports bringing the Guatemalan ant into Texas as an in- sect enemy of the boll weevil. It was stated recently that Government En- tomologist Cook is now en route with a large number of the ants, the first lot of which is to be taken to Victoria, in which county Clarke has interests !and which adjoins Calhoun County, where his plantation is located. Clarke ‘'said as to the basis of his petition: “To my mind it is dangerous to transfer the South American insect or pest to South Texas. One-half the cotton is picked by negroes, who do not wear enough clothes to make a whole shirt, and the other half by barefooted children. This ant, to be of avail in destroying the weevil, must | sible to get the cotton picked.” ——————— IMMENSE CROWD AWAITS OPENING OF RESERVATION Streets of Bonesteel Packed by Excur- | sionists Ready to Make Rush to Acquire Land.
