1'he DrOuth.

Col. Thos. F. Fisher, general agent
of the Gulf, Colorado IL Santa Fe rail
way reached the city yesterday after q
tour of the southern and central por-
tions of the state. He says that along
the line of his road the drouth has
been so general that many Of the tanks
have given out and it is necessary to
haul water on cars for use in the en-
gines. There is no water between
Temple and Clifton aud the Brazos
river at Kopperl has only about six
inches of water in it. Col Fisher
thinks that fne road will haul more
cotton by the first of October than il
did last year up to the first of Deem
Der, and that the crops along the line
will all be gathered by the middle of
December. Until that time the com
pany will be hard pressed to handle
the cotton as fast as it comes in. He
does not believe that the cotton crop
in the state will fall behind as much
us is generally expected, as there has
been great increase in the acreage
nnder cultivation this year Jared
with last.

THE LITTLE WANDERER
Finds Her Mother and is Taken Home

Finds Her Mother and is Taken Home.
Yesterday the GAZETTE gave an ac-
count OF the arrival of little George
Bates in the city in search of her father,
this notice was the means of restoring
the child to her mother, who was ia
the city but was not expecting her
when She came. 1t seems that the
father and mother of the child sepa-
rated short time ago in Dallas and
the mother came TO the city to live
with her brothcr-in-law, Mr.. w. III.
Stewart, carpenter by trade. The
child was left with Mr.. Plat at
Plano and did not know that her pa
rents were not living together. The
mother wrote for the child but was not
notified that she was coming and in
consequence did not expect her. Yes
terday when Mr.. Stewart came home
to dinner he noticed for the first time
the account ofthe little girl being in
the city and he at once went to police
headquarters and took her home to her
mother, who was overjoyed to see her.
During the time that the child was in
charge of Marshal Rea he made every
effort to find her family and in the
meantime had her properly cared for.
When Mr.. Stewart came to claim her
he had just finished number OF
letters of inquiry to all parts of the
country.

Whitesboro, August 2S.--Our usual
ly quiet town was thrown into q great
deal of excitement last Saturday night
by a gang of roughs. They were on u
drunken carouse and very disorC!erly
upon the streets. Officers McCutchen
and Witt assisted by Dir w. w.
Graves and LaIius Kaines attempted
their arrest when the roughs opened
fire upon the posse with their pistols.
After number of shots were fired by
both parties, the officers posse sue
ceeded in arresting two OF the men
who are now under bond for their APP
pearance before the mayors court.
The others made their escape. 1t is
remarkable that so many shots were
fired without effect. So for rs learned
no one was injured in the melee.

that n freight train was wrecked ON
the Missouri Pacific, south of Fort

AS the reporter crossed the style in

saw man rise from the green sward
with a look ia bis cycwhich betokened
blood. The man paused, looked
around, gIasced up at the courthouse
windows aud walked slowly away, but
Kept an angry glance toward the win

or other the man ~ the tower could ex-
plain this mysterious conduct, so he
hasteuened up the steps TO the lookout
and saw his friend scanning the hori-
zon with dis field glass.

storm-king passed away and left is IN

suddenly changing the subject, did
you hear the result of that dude duel?''

Yesterday Alfred job son filed a
snit in the district clerks office for u
divorce from his wife Mary Johnson.
They were married on the first day OF
September, 1882, but shortly after
wards, as the plaintiff alleges in his
petition, the bride commenced a
course of unkind, cruel and abusive
treatment of her husband which kept
up continually until about two months
ago when he was compelled to separate
from her. What a mockery of the holy

There is general complaint about
the weeds on the race track, and horse

care ofthe horses, several are now sick
with malarial fevers, supposed TO origi-
nate from this source.
The work of building new stalls at
the race track is being pushed rs rap
idiy as possible In order to accomino-
date the horses which are expected to
arrive soon There are now thirty-iive
stalls completed all Of which are full,
and there are several ut the track un-
