I'm brief interview with Oscar G. Muir
IA ,, general passenger agent, and Mr..
crowley, master of transportation, of the
Santa Fe, the fact was ascertained that dur
ing the Spngerfest at Dallas a special train
would leave Cleburne at 3 a. m, and arrive
in Dallas at 10 "A, m, and returning
would leave Dallas at . p. m, arriving
at Cleburne at IL p, m; that this train was
put on for the especial accommodation OF
local points whose people desired to visit
| Dallas during the SUngeriest and return
home the same day. They also stated that
all through passengers for Dallas from dis
tant points would be extended every facll-
| ity toreach their destination quickly.
| The alarm of fire almost preclpitated a
! lrighttul stampede at the fremont opera
house tonight, which was densely packed
with an audience witnessing the perform
ance of Cinderella. Quite q number OF
ladies tainted, and a number were injured
| slightly in their efforts to get out of the
building. The stampede was caused
by some thoughtles individuals
on the balcony OF the opera.house taking
up the cry of fire from some one on the
street and believing it out at the top Of
their voices. BY the intrepidity and GOODNESS
OF a number Of gentlemen an ugly catas'
trophe was averted. Order was restored
and the play went on.
| The Arkansas editors are enjoying their
soiourn in the Island City in quiet way.
| No reception has been rendered them and
all the attention bestowed has been from a
few enterprising citizens. They leave at
| 1905 tomorrow morning.
