Wm Koppe an elderly Brazos county farmer died by self inflicted gunshot this morning around 2 30. The event follows a stormy period and contrasts with weather damage to a dairy barn where John Gordon and his two sons were burned and stunned when lightning struck the barn two miles west of Temple. County results show majorities against the poll tax amendment in several counties while others support it signaling a political shift toward a more intelligent ballot and conservative measures.
