sarbed literally to get the Narrow
Gauge, aud just now, for all the good
il does us, we would be infinitely bet
ter oil if we had never heard of it,.
The travel here has greatly fallen of
in consequence OF the intolerable am
noyance occasioned by the present
schedule and the fact that the passen-
ger ears stop at McGregor and the hog
cars bring the passengers from Nc
Gregor here.

acres on Buffalo creek and the Colora-

Mobe Atie Panhandle: Rath's OK
train arrived here Wednesday evening,
bringing from the railroad 1907
pounds of merchandise and govern
ment supplies. The train was de-

were crossing, the stream sent down
q four foot rise suddenly, and twelve
OF the wagons went down in the
quick-sand so they had TO be unloaded
where they were. and the sand per-
suaded with shovels to give them up.
Houston Agc: The wounded men,
improving. DR.. Abrams, we suppose,
may be regarded as having passed the
danger point. His recovery is only a
question of time. At II O'Clock to-day
Mr.. Rose, at the infirmary, was sitting
up in the invalid chair. He still ex-
pectorates blood, which is taken, we
und rstand, as conclusive that he was
shot through the lungs. But he rests
easy, and his physicians are quite CON
fident that they will carry him through
safely.
Abilene QuiH. Last Tuesday even
ing the sad accident of Mr. l.. Con-
ner's death by fall from his
wagon, went over the town

His daughter, Miss Jackey Conner,
had been married to Mr.. John Duke of
Palo Pinto county, few minutes he
fore, and the newly married couple
were preparing TO leave ON the train
the same evening mt $50. Mr.. Conner

doubt, INDUCED in drink little too
freely, the result of which when driv-
ing along the corners of Third and
Sycamore streets, one of the wheels
struck stump in the road, which
pitched him forward out of the wagon
on his head, breaking his neck. He
many friends to mourn his loss.
Tom Green Times: Last Tuesday
evening Capt. Kelly, of the Tenth cav
airy, aided by several of his brother
officers, gave moonlight picnic and
dance alta beautiful little dell on the
bank of the Middle Concho, about two
and a half miles from the post. The
ground was chosen with rare judg-
ment, and so carefully prepared that
it looked more like u well kept park
than rough river bank To am OBJ
server from the high ground near the
road, the groups of trimmed trees, the
grass, the heavy back ground
OF shade from the tall pecans on the
river, bright with hundreds of Chinese
lanterns that, with the light of a
nearly full moon, rendered the shadows
tremulous and shifting, the view re-
semhling scene from fairy-land more
han anything of this prosaic world.
The dancing pavilion was slightly
raised aud covered with tightly
stretched canvas, When the dancing
began the effect Was more striking and
brilliant. The rich dresses of the
aides We'd with the dazzling uniforms,
particularly the gorgeous gold and yell
ow of the cavalry.

ndui.ged pretty freely in red liquor,
which seemed to give him an exalted |
opinion OF his own strength and Prov

and proposed 10 see which was the |
better man. Harkrow objected, saw

or lighting. Burt said he would paw
both fines and supposing that Hark-
cows objection was obviated he began
lya blow on Harkrow's face. The
after responded by a vigorous right
handler which knocked Burt out of
line and almost out of countenance.
One eye was completely closed and
he swelling beneath it was
as large as a small size pumpkin.
