ALL accounts represent the Abilene
Fair as a success, but the Reporter
states that there was not only a
plain indifference, but a feeling
of hostility on the part of free
grass men, who talked it down"
This is really carrying their efforts to
retard immigration there too far. 1t is
now admitted that Western Texas is
one of the best portions of the State .cT
agricultural pursuits, and the fair was
intended to exhibit to all who would at
tend it the magnificent display OF grain
and vegetables grown in that section,
and the free grass men tried to cause a
failure of the exhibition in hopes to dis
courage actual settlers from going there
Tins il the inference drawn from the
Reporters article.

wits rtia over and instantly killed some
time Sunday morning on the Baltimorc&
Ohio road, lea Forty.fourth street. The
evidence addteed showed that up to s 80
O'Clock Saturday evening, Colmar only had

the theory that he had been robbed by

OF money. Atthat hour he left Vicwig's
saloon aud started down towards Marshall
county, At that time lie was not yary
much intoxicated. The supposition is he

the railroad track and lay in y stupor until
he was killed. No blame is attached to
