of Ben Thompson. the Texas desperate,

When Ben was City Marshal of Aus

him painting an advertisement of some
patent medicine on the outside o: a cor
ner grocery. Ben having been informed
that the man had not first obtained the
owners consent, ordered him 10 erase
it Immediately.
The painter protested that he had
permission to paint the sign, but Ben
was not to be trihed with. Drawing
forth his 'six" he taundered: Five
minutes to take it OF"
And it was off before the five minutes
hade pired.
About the time the painter had fin
lshed erasing his work the owner of the
store appeared. and, seeing the situation
IF things, informed Thompson that the
advertiser had obtained his consent to
paint the sign.
Thompson apologized to the man OF
paint. and told him that he might re-
paint the sign.
The fellow said he believed he didn't
care to.
Again came forth Ben's deadly weap-

A FEARFULLY SAD ACCIDENT.

About midnight on Thursday, a
Swede, a stranger here, was walking
down the track from the Junction,
depot to that of the d., G. H. & M.
railway, when about half way he
fell through the cattle guard. In at
tempting to extricate himself he threw
both arms over one of the rails; just
that moment the through freight
came along and cut off his right arm
near the shoulder, and his left just
above the elbow. He was picked up
and carried to a private boarding
house and promptly attended br Drs.
Perkins, Met ormick and Hume, who
have since amputated both arms.
The man is of strong and robust con-
stitution and may possibly survive,
though all the chances are against it.
He is from Wexio, Sweden, and his
name is Emil Patterson. 1t hap
