Fort WORTH. Ten. June 26.-It is safe
to say that never before in our history as a
city was there such excitement a. there is
over the murder of DIR. Claude W. B%arradall.

drunk and don't now what you are saying
when Herring repeated the remark. Bar
radall jumped up from his chair and
stepped toward Herring, who drew his pistol
and pointed it at BarradalIS breast.
Don't shoot me-" Barradall said. but Her
ring pulled the trigger and Barradall
dropped TO the floor. shot through the
heart. Officers 10 the number of fourteen
were soon in pursuit and were joined by
several posses of citizens. but nothing of the
murderer has been learned except that he
crossed tie Trinity River. The streets We're
crowded with men, %clamOrin- for the hang
ing of Herring. AMI if he l. caught short
work will be made of m. The OILY posi-
ble reason that can be assigned for the
crime is that during the day Barradail re-
fused to sell Herring some morphine. Her
ring has had several pistol encounters be-
fore, and was considered Il very dangerous
man. Barradall leaves a young wife, the
daughter of one of the w%eaithieSt cattle

months a family named Muelendyke,
who were getting water from the public well
at the corner of the Churchill House, dis
covered small bright spots in the bottom Of
the pail. A family counsel resulted i'm the
decision that the spots were gold. Muelen-
dyke continued his pumpings. saving the
specimens, and finally showed them to a
Catholic Priest, who took them to several
practical miners for examination. After
testing the specimens they united in pro-
nOuncing them gold. A Milwaukee capt..
alist furnished the money and the place was
quietly purchased for a comparatively small
consideration. Water from a neighbOring
well contains similar specimens. The ex-
citement here is increasing and everyone is
watching developments with interest.
