Shooting scrape.

Monday evening about sew
en- o'clock, Mr.. Joe Hunt
a bricklayer, and Billy
McGowen, formerly police
man and well known in the city,
met near the crossing Of the
Santa Fe railway on Main
street. After the exchange of
a few words ofiather an un-
complimentary character, in
which it is said the lie, or per-
haps most opprobrious epithet
was passed, McGowen struck
Hunt on the head with
a cane Of stick. Hunt
then drew a 3S-balibre Smith &
Wesson revolver and shot Nc
Gowen, the ball taking effect
at the angle of the jaw bone
and glancing stopped near the
ear. Policeman Lockett was
nearby and-arested Hunt, who
ives placed in jail. DR.. Nc
Murtry, of Hussey & McMurtry
dressed McGowen's wound af-
ter having extracted the ball,
which was hattened. The wonnd
bled very freely and MEG. was
considerably weakened from
loss of blood, but the wound is
by no means serious. Bad
feeling had ex sted between the
two men for several days on ac-
count of something that MEG.
is said to have told about Hunt.

try seat. her subjects come, to lay their
tributes at your feet. Strong hearts
from the Oder and the Elbe fair faces
from Vistula and Rhine are here, to
mingle their songs of merriment with the
sweet strains of your Saxon subjects. The
streets of the city are ilent to-day. The
lawyer has left his books and the merchant
his counting house. The weary plowman
has relaxed his labors. The ring of the
sounding anvil is hushed. The tolls of
| life are forgotten. All have come to join
in eladness and rejoicing. 1t is my high
privilege on this happy occasion in the
name of all these loyal subjects to pro-
claim you Sovereign of the Month of

tyrrannic authority. 1t is the pure service
Of affection which flows unbidden from
the loyal bosom TO the Royal heart. On
Bonded knee salute your Majesty, as
mistress of the Realm of May.
Tumpets give forth the signal: Heralds

with the flowers, shall live when they lie
buried in their fairy sepulcires.

o'clock, but until about II there
was not much of a crowd on
the grounds, the only amuse-
ment during the morning was a
match game of base ball be-
tween the independence college
nine and Brenham's picked
nine; the game lasted for about
two hours and was won by the
BRENNAN boys, they making two
more innings than their oppo-
nents.
At 1910 Professor lessen
delivered an Grafton in Eng
fish, he drew a contrast between
the condition of the Germans in
the old country and in Ameri-
ca. The reason that so many
Germans came to this country
was the oppressive governments
in Europe, the masses of the
people being made to pay trib-
ute to the crowned heads;
here they are freemen and not
serfs. He also paid a high
compliment to the hremen.
Professor lessen only spoke
about IS or 20 minutes.

commenced coming out and by
