SECOND TRIAL OF

SliEED IS AT

Public Interest Revived in Feud Between Sneed and Boyce Families.

(National News Association) FORT WORTH, Tex., Nov. 8. With the approach of the second trial of J. B. Sneed for the murder of A. G. Boyce, Sr., which is on the court docket for next week, public interest in the bloody feud existing between the Sneed and the Boyce families, both wealthy and well known throughout the State of Texas has become revived. Not for many years, if ever, has there been a case known in this Btate which was so full of the most sensational detail and in which so many men of great wealth and social importance played an active part. The Sneed and the Boyce families are among the most prominent in the Panhandle region of TexaB. They have large property Interests in the way of banks, ranches and farms and their wealth is estimated at several millions.' The heads of the families were intimately associated with each other in the earlier days and their children grew up together. J. B. Sneed, the defendant in the coming trial and the younger of his two victims, A. G. Boyce, Jr., were students together at Southwestern university, Georgetown, Texas, but love for Lena Snyder, the beautiful daughter of a well-to-do land owner of Central Texas, made the two young men first rivals, then bitter enemies and eventually caused the feud which, up to the present time, has cost the lives of six persons. Miss Snyder seemed to be fond of both young men and, not until after she had married J. Beal Sneed, did she discover that she was really in love with Boyce. She did not have the strength of character to resist the Impulses of her heart and, soon after her marriage to Sneed she began to have secret meetings with Boyce, which became more frequent after the Sneed s took up their residence at Amarillo, where Al Boyce, Jr., lived. On the night of October 13, 1911, Mrs. Sneed informed her husband that ehe loved Al Boyce and would not live With him any longer. Sneed, who was devoted to his beautiful wife, became furious and would have killed his wife and himself had not one of his little children came into the room at the lime. On the following day, however, he had her taken to a private sanitarium for Insane persons, at Arlington Heights, near Fort Worth. A few weeks later Mrs. Sneed managed to eend a letter to Al Boyce, her lover, begging him to release her from her prison. . Al Boyce drew a large sum of money and went to Fort Worth, bribed one of the attendants of the sanitarium and through him secured the release of Mrs. Sneed. Boyce and Mrs. Sneed eloped t the North, going first to St. Louis, then to Omaha. At Omaha Boyce learned that Sneed was in hot pursuit and without delay he fled with Mrs. Sneed to Chicago and thence to "Winnipeg, Manit. There they were arrested as undesirables on December 26, 1911 and when Sneed reached Winnipeg, having been informed of the arrest, Boyce fled. Sneed took his wife back to Texas and again placed her in the same sanitarium from which she had escaped. In some manner Sneed learned that Capt.- A. C. Boyce, the father of Al. Boyce, was in full sympathy with his eon and was plotting to get Mrs. Sneed out of the sanitarium. Young Boyce had been? indicted on the charge of abduction, but his father brought about the dismissal of the indictment, which fact also greatly embittered Sneed against him. The two men met in the lobby of a hotel in this city

on January 13 of this year and, , after an exchange of a few words, J. Beal Sneed drew his pistol and fired several shots at the old man, killing him inBtantly.' Sneed was arrested and tried, but after being out 112 hours the jury returned and reported that no agreement could be reached. A new trial was ordered and this will come up next week. Sneed kept himself in retirement after the mistrial and few persons knew definitely of his whereabouts.. Al Boyce, the lover of Mrs. Sneed, was supposed to be in British Columbia and it was reported that he had purchased a ranch there and intended to live there. On September 14 of this year Sneed and Al Boyce met in one of the principal streets of Amarillo. Tex. Sneed, who," according to the statement of certain witnesses, was disguised as a tramp, approached the unsuspecting Boyce and killed him by several shots from an automatic shotgun. The murderer surrendered and was later indicted, but the trial has not yet been set for a hearing. Sneed will be rep-

Castles of El Morro. There are two things about San Juan which are to be found in almost every part of Spanish America where there are mountains or highlands. One is tho statue of Columbus; the other is the castle of El Morro. Most people of the United States are more familiar with Morro castle in Havana. When they hear there is another Morro at Santiago in Cuba and then another in Porto Rico they wonder w hat it means. The explanation is quite simple. Those castles or' citadels are located on projecting necks of high land which dominate the harbor entrances. El Morro in Spanish simply means "the snout." Some of. the plcturesqueness of the term seems to disappear when we speak of a snont of land, but it is very good geographical terminology. Christian Herald.

Birth of a Play. Mr. Frohwan is said to possess the gift of seeing the germ of a play in the slightest incident or sentence. An American journalist once wrote to him: "Dear Sir Why couldn't a play be written round 'Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight ? " Mr. Frohman grasped the idea and replied, "Excellent; come and see me." A tev? days later he received a wire saying; "Can't come. If used send $500." The check was sent, David Belasco, the dramatist, was called in, and the result was a very popular play, "The Heart of Maryland." Exchange.

The Fussy Ocean. "I do so admire the ocean," Aunt Becky -wrote to the home folks. "It goes as fur as you can see, an' then a leetle farther, but it's like some folks I know. It just can't keep still, an' while it don't seem to have anything pertickler to growl about It's a-fussin' an' a-frettin' day an' plghtl" Atlanta Constitution.

The steel support of the United States mail box on the northwest corner of Main and Eighth streets was snapped off even with the cement sidewalk yesterday afternoon when an automobile crashed into it. The owner of the machine, F. C. Richards, of New Paris, O., took the turn too short and before he righted the machine, he smashed into the box.

HUNTING DOG RULING Owing to the hunting season Pennsylvania officials have received orders that dogs accompanying hunters, and which are not intended for exhibition or show purposes and not valued at higher than $25 shall be carried In baggage cars at regular rates, provided they wear collars and are

Wasted Time. John Sharp Williams, senator from Mississippi, was walking along the street with a constituent In a dry town. "By the way," inquired Williams, all of a sudden, "would you care for a small drink?" The man stopped right in the middle of the sidewalk and stared at him. "Mr. Williams." he began, when he bad recovered his speech, "they sny you are a smart mun. After you were graduated here you went and got your self graduated at Heidelberg, over in Germany. But with all your education, you can ask more blamed fool questions than any man I know. Of course I'd like a little drink, but where can a man buy It down here?" "I know where there's a limited amount of the stuff." replied Williams. "Then, why didn't you tell me that In the first place," said the constituent, breathing normally ajrinn. "and not waste so much time wi oollsh questions?" Fred C. Kelly iu Cleveland Plain Denier.

No Reply. Two English soldiers, seeing a comrade's coat lying on his bed. thought they would play a joke on him. as he happened to be an Irishman. So they chalked a donkey's head on the back of the coat and then waited to see him pnt it on. When Mike took up the coat he gazed at the donkey's bead with deep earnestness, and then, turning to the Englishmen, he inquired. "Which of yet wiped your face on my coat? Inevitable. "Why, she used to be a theatrical star, but since she has grown fat she's Just an ordinary actress." "Nothing strange about that. Any astronomer will tell you that as stars Increase in magnitude they decrease in brightness." Chicago Tribune.

DEPOSITS RECEIPTS

A. R. Albertson, county treasurer, today deposited $35,682.76 in small checks, in local banks. This represents but a small part of the amount received for the fall tax installment. The total amount will not be learned for several days. Receipts are being mailed out to those who sent tax money to the treasurer by mail.

HUNTERS ARE READY

Ministerial Perquisites. Not only stationery office officials, but cabinet ministers, used formerly to enJoy sundry little perquisites now no longer legitimate. At one time, for instance, each secretary of state received on his appointment a silver inkstand which he could retain and hand down as a keepsake to his children, but Mr. Gladstone when chancellor of the exchequer abolished this little perquisite, and the only token of office an outgoing minister can take with him is his dispatch box. The wife of a minister who had long occupied an official residence on being eTlcted said with a pensive sigh, "I hope I am not avaricious, but I must say when one was hanging up pictures it was very pleasant to hare the board of works carpenter and a bag of nails for nothing." London Chronicle.

With the hunting season for quail and rabbits opening Sunday, local hunters are greatly pleased with the large number of quail reported in Wayne county. It was anticipated that the number would be unusually small because of the severe winter of 1911, though the dry fall this year has

more than overbalanced the destruc- j

tion of birds last winter.
