GENIUS IN RUINS.
4 Brilliant Wind In honda ae
10 n Wrecked Body.

An Examiner reporter yesterday saw
boy whose condition could not fail to
arouse feeling or sympathy in any heart
after learning the story of his misfor-
tune. The lad whose name is Virgil
Smith, appears to be about fourteen
years old and is at prese 1t an
inmate of the poor house. No
doubt one-third of the people
OF Waco have seen him on the streets OF
Waco one time or another but ike QUIZ
selves saw nothing remarkable about
him more than that he is somewhat
crippled and has very sickly, emaolated
look. We were present III the court
house yesterday when the lad called to
make request of Judge Gerald, and
there learned his history. He has
been afflicted from birth and seems to
grow worse as years advance, his face
being now somewhat repulslve ON
hlOtches and eruptions. Once before
he was an inmate OF the pOor-hOuse,
while DIR. Joe Willis was city physician,
and by him was 20 far relieved that he
got along very we'll for time, and went
back to his n other, who is a poor widow
woman. Just before last Christmas,
however, he returned and asked permits
to re-enter the poor-house. His condition
was such that he could not be refused,
and ever since he has been there. The
boy, for one so weak of body. has GER
tainly most remarkable vim, and is pos
sessed of inventive genius strongly
marked for one of his years. He made
frequent trips to the city, gathered mp
all the cigar and other small boxes he
could find. and spent his leisure time
III max NJ cages ont of them The
room he occupies is hung all around
with them. BY cOntrivance of his
own he managed to catch red-birds and
when he got pair would bring them
on this side and seek customer. The
tiist five dol ars he earned i'll tins way
he sent O his mother all bnt half dol
lar. He once came on this side and
tried to hire in some of the stor-s,
but could not find work and went
back to red-bird catching. He has
now succeeded i'll raising another stake,
and yesterday came over and told Judge
Gerald that he had made enough off the
sale of his birds to buy II peddling out
fit, and wanted to know if he could stay
at the poor house for Il month after he
commenced peddling, 80 he could get n
SOou start. vi course ptTihlshloh WAS
given HIM and he went away happy.
The boy is polite aud ODE
dent. and has singulaIly
bright mind for one with so shattered
constitution. 1t is indeed Il pity to see
genius thus bound down by affection.
Had stout lad the mind and vim of this
boy no telling what degree of promi-
hence he might attain. But this poor
boy is doomed to finger until his fIail
body gives way and robs him of the
privilege of being, had he been as perfect
of body as of mind, a highly useful man.

SERIOUSLY PERFORATED.
Va ". Smith Shot, Perhaps
tally. by Pat Gallagher.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morn: lg
shooting occurred at Shoo-FIy, or, as
it is more commonly called, CARROTS
Mill, III this county, about thirteen
miles from Waco, which may result in
the death OF Dir. w. ". Smith Mr..
q. ". Vought came into town in the
saddle about4 p. IN. yesterday for phy-
stefan, having been sent IN by the
friends OF the wounded man. From
him we learn that the shooting grew out
of a previous misunderstanding be
tween the Smith brothers, Anon
and W. W, and Gallagher He
states that they had been trading
with Gallagher, who keeps a store at
Shoo-Fly, and some two weeks ago they
jthe brothers, came to Waco and drew
money to make improvements and
pay their account with Gala
CHER One evening they called
on him for the account saying
they did not have the money on their
person at the time, but wanted to Know
what the amount was and would settle
next time they came to the store. Gai-
lagher had. so Yought states previously
asked for a settlement and the Smiths
wished to get an exten ION Of time which
he refused On the occasion above
mentioned when they proposed
10 settle when they next
called Gallagher became enraged
and demanded their note before they
left the house This led to words IN
which the abuse Of Gallagher aroused
the passion Of 4 non Smith. and he gave
Gallagher whipping. Since that time
I'D 10 Yesterday morning 1t is said
Gallagher has abused them whenever
they passed thc store aud made very
harsh remarks. Yesterday morning W.
w. Smith went to the store for some
purpose, our informant did not state
what, and the old trouble was renewed.
Smith Il length SGT upon Gallagher and
whipped him until he cried out enough
and asked to have Smith taken of,
which was done. As soon as the men
were separated, Smith took position IN
he door and Gallagher walked behind
his counter, picked up Il pistol and fred
Mt Smith. The ball entered near the
lower left portion of the abdomen,
and was subsequently taken out 10y DrS.
Stewart and MudGin at the back. No
blood flowed from the wound on the
outside and they became fearful that
internal bleeding was going on and sent
10 the city for II physician to JOIN them
IN passing upon the case ~ to treat
ment. The physician left ahOut p. M,
also Sheriff Hal, who went out to arrest
Gallagher Whether he fled after the
shooting or not We did not learn. The
= atement above is entirely that of
Nought, who was, by the way, not an
eye witness to the occurrence, but who
seems to know more or less about the
troubles which have been going on be
tween the parties. We learn that Gala
CHER has had numerous difficulties with
persons i'll that vicinity. Yought
states that the Smiths are quiet,
peaceable men. Perhaps Gail
agher's side of the story may throw ii
different light on the affair. The mat
ter, We are sorry to say, for the pence
and good name Of the community and
county, has now gone SO far that 1t will
be heard f.om in the courts, and 40
doubt additional particulars will come
out then If not before.
