difficulty occurred here to-day at II 80
in the court-house yard, in which DIR. Il.
J. sauls and his fn.her, hbsslom Sauls,
and Henry Basham, were shot. Dir.
Sauls was shot FIVE times three times
in the bowels, once in the chest and In
the shoulder. 1t does not seem possible
for him to recover. A. Sauls has thigh
broken, the bone being shattered,
wounds. @ ~ He I is &C. % years 'opi old
and II IL not thought he can recover.
Basham has wound In the right
shoulder and In the neck and may re-
cover. There has been an old feud be-
tween the Sauls and the Bashams for
some time, and both parties seem more
or less to blame. They had been about
to fight tor day or two; to-day DR..
Sauls had proposed TO fight any or all OF
them, when Bill Basham, with an oath,
drew his pistol and fired at him.
His father also received shot from Bill
Basham'sp pistol at the beginning. Others
commenced firing on the eSauls. Charley
Parks and Harry Harris are
charged with assaulting the Bashams.
ID. q. Sauls was also In the melee, but
was not hurt. DR.. Sauls was the only
one OF the Sauls that was armed. Henry
and Bill Basham, Harry Harris,
Charley Parks and ID. q. Sauls arc
under arrest. Tho Sauls family are
from Bell county. The other parties
live In the western part OF Coryell
county. The affair is deaply deplored,
as nearly all the parties are highly re-

Death of picl, yancey,s Victim.


CoRsicANA, Dec. Especial. The
lady who was put off the train here yes
terday IN an unconscious condition, died
to-day at u o'clock, She never regained
consciousness, but 1t developed this
morning that she was married woman
the wife of Mr.. Tobc Smith, who lives
near Purdon, ten miles west of hore.
They had been married five years, and
the young man, Dick Yancey, who do
serted her on the train yesterday, had
won her affections from her husband
some months ago, which led TO a separa-
tion, her husband dividing their prop
erty be,ween them, when she canie
here, remaining week or two. She
then went TO Dallas, and from there TO
Waco, whore, II is supposed, she
Iancey, who had so well
accomplished her ruin, and il is SUP
posed when he discovered her cOndi-
tion, employed u physician to help him
out of his difficulties, and the results
about to prove more serious than he an
ticipated, shipped her back TO her
wrOnged husband To die. The true
secret of that hell-hound's devilish
work remains locked up, so far as this
world Is concerned, In the dead woman's
breast. An inquest was held over the
body this evening, but nothing further
developed. One OF her arms bore evil
dence of hyperdermic injections having
been made some days ago, which corre-
spond with about the time she gave
birth to her child. 1T Is very evident a
double murder has been committed, and
tnat some fend is about to go unpun-
ished. Tho dark deed stands credited
To Waco, and she should use evory
means to fcrfet out the mystery.

The world moves and Hawaii nci
move with it, Honolulu progresses
and we have a new bank. II is no dis
paragcmcnt OF the the long established
and honorablyrcputablc banking firm
of Bishop & Go. TO say there is room
for another "Opposition is the life Of
,rade'-to a certain point Clearly
there is field here for opposition in the
banking business always provided the
opposition be an honorable one. II
there be an unfavorabc feature among
the surface conditions under which the
new bank is established, it is the unfor
tunate Circumstance that the head OF
the firm appears to be at odds with a
portion of the community. The bank
project was Canyassed in the early part
OF last year. Apparently it was aban-
doned Suddenly the head OF the new
firm appears, and as suddenly the new
bank opens for the transaction Of bust
ness. If piquc, or iancicd injury, or a
determination to crush n long estab-
lished business rival, prompted the
foundation of the new bank, the i'm
mediate effect would be distinctly bad
unless reason and justice prevailed over
passion and prejudice. Fortunately,
We have Mr. lrwins assurance that
nothing of the sort has had anything
to do with it, Granted that
there is a field for both banks, there is
no good reason why the two insttu-
tions may not work together for the
common good and their own profit
The public cannot see why Mr.
Spreckels should have interests that
honorably conflict with Mr. Bishops
interests--or a7fe aejSa. Each is a
planter, each shipping merchant, each
a banker. If both are honest, both
desire good government if both are
public spirited, each will do something
to bring the community to unite upon
