Tho Missouri Pacific.

Mr. c. L. Gates yesterday visited the
end of the Missouri Pacific track to
escort General Manager Talmage and
party to the city in carriages. The
party came no further than eight miles
from the city, and finding matters
progressing slowly returned to Fort
Worth. Their visit of inspection was
therefore postponed until about January
]. Mr.. Gates says the track is five miles
from the city, and that the line will not
reach here until Tuesday evening next.
Che storm of Tuesday washed ont sev-
eral culverts and otherwise delayed the
work. Nothing was done yesterday and
probably nothing will be done to-day
From the best information at hand it is
now confidently believed that the road
will not be completed to Waco until it
gets here, at least not until it does get

THAT BEELED ZZAHD.
The CarriOn seeker Comes
Home 10 ROOst.

Readers Of the Examiner will recall
two mentions III these columns of
a buzzard supposed to have a bell on,
and that the peculiar Observation-Disclosures
created considerable establishment III
the sections visited by the musical
scavenger. From the following letter
the mystery will be capable of something
like a practical solution. there can be
but little doubt that the buzzard cap
tured and belled in Dallas county is the
same one noticed in these columns.
Many people supposed the EXAMINER
was perpetrating hoax upon the read
ing public, but the appended and
credible explanation will disabuse
their minds of such an idea:
RICHARDSON, Dallas County, Deem
her 12.-Editor Waco Examiner and
Patron: In your issue of October 2S
you stated that a belled buZzard had
been seen in the neighborhood of Cap
tain Westbrook's 5, on Cow bayou, and
again in your last issue December 81
you state that it is now circulating
around Howard and Stampede, across
the Bell county line" | will state that
Mr.. Chris. Huffhines, of this place,
about the 18th of October, caught Il
buzzard III Il steel trap, and tied small
bell around it and turned 1t loose. The
buzzard flew off to the southwest, and |
presume it is the same buzZard that has
been worrying" the people OF Bell
county Mr.. Huff hines claims the buzz
zard. and wishes the citizens of Bell
county notified of his claim through
your paper. Respectfully,
r. H. FLOYD.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Dick GO0de Dangerously Hurt
by IA Mule Team.

Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock,
an accident occurred on north Fourth
street which may result very seriously to
Dick Goode, a wood-hauler. He had
delivered load of wood on that street,
and in driving toward Austin street his
mules became unmanaQeable when near
the bridge which spans Barron's branch,
and Mr.. Goode was thrown from "A high
seat to the ground. He was taken to
the residence of Mrs. Blankenship, near
by, in an unconscious condition and sur
pical attendance summoned. From the
physicians a reporter learned that the
mules must have kicked the PROSTATE
man, for the wounds, on the head, are
of character which could hardly have
been inflicted in any other way. The
scalp is lacerated on top and behind the
right ear the right jaw is broken III two
places, and a severe wound Is made
back of the left ear, near the base of the
brain. The surgeons are III doubt as
yet whether this latter injury has
produced fracture of the base of
the brain, as the injured man has
not yet recovered consciousness. If
the fracture is thus made the most
serious results are expected to follow.
The broken jaw and this doubtful
wound are both very serious, and the
physicians pronounce the condition of
MIR. Goode very serious and critical in
deed. There are also two bruises, but
nothing dangerous, on the right arm and
left back The injured man, after the
first dressing, was carefully removed to
the residence of his mother on north
Second street. At this writing the
physicians are waiting for some change
in the semi-unconscious condition OF
the patient to determine more fully and
accurately the extent and true character
of the most serious wound referred to
oh

PERSONAL.

Major Marvin spent yesterday in the
city.
Major Tibbs was considerably better
yesterday.
Treasurer Fish and Division Superin-
tendent Summons, of the Narrow Gauge,
were in the city yesterday.
Maier Wiley Jones is quite indispOsed
and has been for some weeks, enough to
practically unfit him for any active bust
ness. The disease, if it may be termed
a disease, seems to battle location.
Capt Ed Terrell was in the city yes
terday. He took the train for Houston
and will remain there several days. His
force is now in quarters at Glen
Rose, in Somervell' county, where they
will remain until active operations begin
again.
Ex-Governor Hubbard reached the
city yesterday and took rooms
at the McClelland. The object
of his visit is business con-
uected with his road. During the day
he was visited by a number of citizens.
It is his intention to return to Tyler on
this mornings train.

Rn,Irnad Changes.

The face of Mr.. T. F. Jones, which has
been so familiar at the ticket-otfice Of
the Fl and T. C. road in East Waco for
a number of years past, will be seen
there no more after January ]. He has
rendered his resignation to the compa-
ny and at the opening of the year will
this point. While we are partial t.
neither and friendly to both,
we are constrained to say that
in this change the Central has sustained
a loss and the Missouri Pacific decided
cain. Mr. Jones is perhaps as wei
known ticket-man as the Central had
in its employ, outside of Houston, and
while at all times found laborlng for
the interests of the company he rep
resented, he or his employers lost moth
ing, but gained much, by being
courteous 60 the public. In personal
to him we must say that III
the capacity he has lately filled he has
made a host of friends, and If any
enemies no one knows them.

TOUGH CUSTOMER.
yEarsl,aI Moore Ha. Trouble in
Nakin. an Arrest.

Yesterday morning as Pink - was
H. mn Austin street he passed
:, aeon and team moving along with
l,'+ any driver. After passing it Pink
tI,nught he had better turn back and
s,cIr. the driverless outfit, but on ap-
,roacbinp lie discovered man lying
Down in the wagon box, whom he
acrosted, and received curse for
reply. The man also pulled out pistol
and inquired what business 1t was
of his, any way. Pink concluded 1t
was none of his business Just then,
and gave Marshal Moore pointer. Luke
rode M to the man, with his arm full OF
groceries, and inquired what he had III
his hand, to which the driver replied III
the form of the question, Is 1t any OF
your damned business ?" and the further
request that the marshal go where
northers dare not enter. Luke passed
On to his residence, unloaded his bum
dies. hitched his horse, and awaited the
surly driver. As the team came opposite
fine house the marshal went out and
stepping on the single-tree asked for the
FELIX'S pistol, which was duly presented,
but wrong end foremost. Seeing the
kind of a character he had to deal
with Luke pulled his own pistol on the
feIIow and grabbed the latter's weapon
nj fine same time. The man resisted, and
the marshal had quite tussel before he
became reasonable and quit. Pink had
come down and was holding the team,
when the man made an attempt to get
the marshal's pistol, pushing the latter
over the side of the wagon IN the move
ment. However, the marshal succeeded
in getting a "holt" ON the desperate
fellows cheek and finally made
him sGueal and give an uncon-
ditiouu surrender. Luke hurt his
hand severely in the wrenching and 1t
was naming him severely but he gave
the prisoner in charge of Pink and went
into his house and telephoned for Po-
liceman to come and assist him III lodg-
