In commenting upon the cattle kings
OF the Lone Star state, the Globe-Dem-
ocrat, of st. Louis, draws the annexed
pleasing pen picture: Major Sayers,
the Stephen A. Douglas of Texas, is
one of the famous cattle men. He is
about 45, weighs nearly $50, dark
complexion, black hair, inclining to
grizzly gray and always worn short,
wears a moustache and goatee, and
has a strong likeness to General John
A. Logan as he appeared fifteen years
ago. Sayers halls from Bastrop county.
John N. Simpson, a short man, 81
years old, owns the better part of one
hundred thousand head of cattle. R.
H. Overall, of Coleman, is an old Mis-
sourian. He is pleasant in appearance,
light Complexion, AZ to so years of age,
weighs 100, perhaps, and is reputed to
be worth 80 000, 600 in cattle and land.
Ex-senator Lane, of San Antonio, Of
the firm of Lane & Millett, was a con-
spicuous figure in the Austin cattle
convention. He is about six feet two
inches tall, very slim, straight as an
Indian land it may be- added as black
and swarthy as q Comanche), with
piercing eyes, straight black hair, and
very dignifed in appearance on the
street. He is a native cowboy, and
delights in having 1t known, a lawyer
by profession, somewhat of a politician
and an exceedingly shrewd and adrolt
opponent in debate. Lane o. Millett
own about 125 900 acres of land and
employ sixty cowboys all the time. H.
H. Campbell, of Motley county, repre-
sented in tue convention 81, 100000 in
land and cattle. G. G. Slaughter of
Dallas, at the age Of 45, is worth
$3.50, 900.
George W. West, of Live Oak, was
born in Layacca county, is 81 to SO, is
slender, don't talk mucn, but has the
most convincing ways at a bank coun-
ter of any you are likely to meet. He
owns n pasture containing 125, 900
acres, has over 1000 head of cattle,
and considers a check for 500, 900 a
rather small transaction. Senator N.
G. Collins, who hadn't a cent to start
with, is worth $1,000, 900, made in cat
tie. L. B. Harris is much like him.
The latter has one ranch in Tom Green
embracing So, 600 acres, which is a half
days ride in length and takes in ten to
fifteen miles of the Colorado river.
"Dick" King is literally king in the
business. He has ESQ., 900 acres of land
in n body, 10000 in another at st.
Gertrude's, another In Cameron OF
about the same extent, and many
smaller tracts, in his opinion, scarcely
worth mentioning.
A. w. Pierce, of Matagorda, was {
cowboy, but now owns one pastur,
from the gulf to the Colorado river
sixty-tour miles long, besides 10,O0t
acres caney land on Matsgorda bay
He is tall, slightly gray and is a grea
wag and story-teller.
E. @. Sugg, of Gainesville, has i'm
mense herds In the Indian Territor,
and in Wyoming. He is about 80,
great, big ~6ne-looking fellow, weigh
over 200, is honorable always and gen
erous to a fault. He came to Texas a

Investigating the Election Riots.

Washington, February 1.-THE in
vestigation of the Dsnville election
riots was begun this morning.
Congress man Cabell and John y.
Wise were present.
Walter s. Withers, a colored police
man Of Danville testified that on the
Sd of November a white man and a
colored mar got to fighting. When
separated a crowd OF whites ranged in
a line along the curb and the colored
were in the street. The whites had
pistols in their hands and said that the
colored men could get enough IL they
wanted it and that if they did not get
away some of them would get hurt.
The negroes objected. saying that the
whites were trying to override them.
The firing then began, the first shots
being fired in the air. The colored
people then began to run and the
whites fred at them wherever they
could see them. None Of the colored
men had pistols. One man was shot
dead and several wounded. In conse-
quence of the riots the colored people
did not vote at the election three days
later, fearing violence. The affidavit
of the witness before the committee OF
forty was incorrect in so far that it
stated that the colored men need fire.

been added to the affidavit after he had
signed it.
Jack Rudd. (colored), chairman Of
the republican committee, testified that
he was in Danville on the day Of the
riot. When the firing began he left
hastily, afterwards returning to note
the result, and was met by Colonel
Cabell, who asked where he was going,
Colonel Cabell said: "This is just what
