SECOND DISPATCH.l
HEMPsTEAp. November 18th - About
half-past | o'clock this morning the north
bound train ON the Houston and Texas
Central Railway was wrecked at Clear Creek
station-about two miles south of this
place-and as far as known ten people were
killed outright and fifteen wounded, more
| or less dangerously. An investigation by
| the railway authorities reveals the fact that
| the diabolical work was done by discharged
| employees and thieves in the vicinity, who
| sought to wreck q freight train for the SpOilS
contained. Breaking into the section house
the wreckers obtained the necessary tools
and by pulling spikes and unfastening the
fish plates arranged the rails to yield to
pressure, without, however, entirely re-
moving it. 1t so happened that the pas
senger train, having the right of way, and
| being behindhand, was the first to reach
| the scene of disaster. Striking the loOsened
rail. the engine and tender got over safely.
while the two baggage cars, the mail and
express, and two Pullman sleepers went
over thirty-iuot embankment and into Il
creek. The following We're killed and
wounded:

4 Sheriff with Backbone.
CAMDEN On. j.. November 14th.-Rich-
ard T Smith (D.) was elected last week
Sheriff of Camden county over Jacob G.
| Daubman (R.) though all the other Re
publican candidates received heavy majori-
ties Wednesday Smith was inducted into
office and appointed Frank Shaw as War
den of the Jail. To-day the Board OF Free
holders, acting under an act of the Legis-
laturc passed in 1886, elected Daubmar
Warden of the jail, though it had always
been customary for the Sheriff to make his
own appointments. Daubman filed bone
and was sworn into Office at once, anC
accompanied by the Courthouse Committee
of the Freeholders, started into the jail tC
take possession. They were met at the
head Of the flight of stairs leading from thC
i Court house to the jail by Shaw, who lev
eled revolver at Daubman's head, and
told him that if he attempted to enter he
should blow his brains out The party
halted, but as they did not turn backward
Shaw cooked his revolver and took deliber-
ate aim at Daubman, when the latter and
his friends went back into the corridor OF
the Courthouse. The Mayor was requested
to send a squad of police to the scene
| This was done and the crowd cleared from
the Courthouse, and five policemen, War
den Shaw and Deputy Sheriff Alcott are
now guarding the Jail. Both parties have
engaged legal counsel, but Daubman says
he does not intend to take the case into
the Courts, but will go to the jail again and
take possession rs the rightfully elected
Warden.
The Brighton Ranch Land Case.
OMAHA, November 14th.-The case of the
| United States against the Brighton Ranch
Company came before Judge Brewer in the
| United States Circuit Court to-day. A suit
in equity was brought against this cattle
company some months ago TO compel it to
take down its fences on Government lands.
1t has 81 miles of fence, inclosing lands in
northwestern Nebraska. The defendant
| filed an answer, setting up defense to
which the United States District Attorney
Lambertson took exceptions, of which all
except one were sustained by Judge Brewer.
! To-day the exception which Judge Brewer
did not pass Judgment upon, was that
which referred to defendants allegations
| that it owns the lands upon which the
| fences are located Judge Brewer, while
| deciding that defendants have no right to
erect fences on public domain, will hear
proof as to the alleged ownership of the
lands before deciding as to the injunction
| to compel the fences to be taken down. 1t
| is understood that the defendant has en-
ployed his cowboys and others to pre-en1pt
and homestead. They claim a title only to
sections on which the fence is located. All
this was done since the suit was begun so
1t is alleged, and the District Attorney
threatens to have the parties indicted.
This is only one of several similar fence
cases in Nebraska and Wyoming, and the
outcome is awaited with great deal of in
terest by cattle men, who have fenced in
immense tracts of the public domain.
