south OF the city Oh the Houston & |
Texas Central railway, in which an
Irish section hand named Hugh began
was seriously II not fatally injured.
Degan was one of the force OF. section
90, and got hurt In the faithful dis.
charge OF duty that speaks well for
ms neroism as a man. They had run
the hand car to the place OF work,
anu about the time they
removed 1t from the |
track an extra freight train that they
knew nothing OF came laundering
around curve under full speed. De-
gan saw the wooden frame used in |
moving the car would probably de-
rail the train and jumped to take it OIL,
but before be could do so the engine
struck end Knocked him senseless for
time. His companions immediately
brought him back to the city for sur
s!cal treatment, and lodged him in
comfortable quarters at the Kentucky
house. His physicians found his back
and loins fearfuliy bruised, bat are
reticent about his case. It Is doubtful |
IL the poor fellow eau recover.
Our citizens ale beginning to know |
that the irrepressible candidate Is
again In the land, and the intelligent
observer can note his advent by the
many earnest colloquies taking place |
on the streets and In the saloons be-
tween the aspirant and his friends. 1t
Is quietly developing that there will
be at least three aspirants for county
judge. The present incumbent, S. ID.
Steedman, will ask an Endorsement
for the third term; Col. T.. p. Gregg.
whom he defeated two years ago. is
again In the field, and John I. Gun.
ningham will try conclusions with
them both. This will make very
pretty three-cornered fight, and give
the voters good field to select from.
G. b. Randell, our young and popu-
lar county attorney, will be opposed
by A. G. Turner, Esq, who held the
office two terms prior to November,
1882, and would have run again then
but for the fact that his brother, p. A.
Turner, was candidate for district
judge in this county and Collin, and
Gus thought two of one family looked
a little too cheeky, SO he stepped out
of the race.
IL is thought that several of the old
officers will have no opposition this
year, but for county and district clerk,
assessor and collector there will likely
be an opposition that will make hot
work for all parties.
The people are looking about for
some victims to represent them in the
next legislature, but at present it is
| very uncertain where the lightning
will strike. The general sentiment is
to swap horses in this race, and get
| 49, al far .s,,r "a
ture lawmakers. Grayson county, be-
| ing the banner county In population,
| wealth and Democrats, feels like hav.
ing her name more prominent in state
affairs than she has been lately, and
with that view will try hard 10 get
more than one representative whe5s
name shall be prominent IN the coun-
ellis of the state.
The labor league organization has
grown to great strength in this city
and we are informed in Denis on also
and by united support of their MEM
beers have elected nearly all the city OIL
GERS for thepast two years. They claim t.
be non-political, but as they all vote
one way and do so by previous resolve
the claim looks little thin to the out
side observer. Several probable candi
dates for county offices are members
of this order, and while 1t gives them
a support in the cities 1t remains TO bt
seen how far the conservative
vote of this county vii
&C. operate with them in general cleo
ton. The order in Sherman is sale
to be about equally made up of colore'
and plain sovereigns, with maJorii,
