ison, Tex, and Miller OF Kansas City,
Mo. The two principals came here from
Denison, accompanied by Mr.. Brown,
who acted as hacker to Sey-
mour. Being always ready TO
give people what they want
Texarkana's sporting fraternity promptly
accepted the suggestion of backing Miller
and did so TO the extent Of $1,000, Brown
covering the same by a like amount IN
favor OF Seymour. Tho race came off
near the Texas & Pacific railway yards
aud was decided in favor of Miller, who
came out 10 fcetahcad. Brown at the an
nouncemcnt grew very red-headed aud
accused Seymour Of collision with the
other party, and rushing on him immedi-
ately after the decision was rendered,
drew a revolver and was only prevented
from shooting him by the interference of
the city marshal, who arrested Brown.

for which he was indicted by the last
