Another Wreck.
ELLA

Another wreck.
The north-bound. Missouri Pacific pas
scnger train due here yesterday morning
did not arrive until o'clock yesterday
afternoon The cause of the delay was
the wreckiug of freight train near
Bethel, about eight miles south of this
city. The freight left Fort Worth at
O'Clock yesterday morning bound for
San Antonio, and when about
eight miles from the city, on
account of a broken rail, the engine
jumped the track. The engine and
three freight cars were badly smashed up.
Two of the cars were loaded with coal
and one with bacon. The cars were al
most completely demolished. Another
freight train wreck was reported to have
occurred west of this city ON the Texas &
Pacific The particulars could not be
learned, but 1t must have been of more
than ordinary consequence, as the east
bound passenger, or "bob-tail," was six
hours late on that account.

Let Justice BE Done.


Some time since Mr.. II. p. Shiel of
Harold, justice of the peace for Archer
county, was arrested on charge of mis-
appropriating public money, and since
then certain statements have been tcle-
graphed abroad that msrcprcsent the
facts connected with the matter, and do
Mr.. Shiel an injustice. 1t is true that he
has been arrested, but that he is guilty of
the charges, none of his friends believe,
and it is charged that the prosecution is
the outgrowth OF malice. 1t has also
been charged that Mr.. Shiel could not
give bond. This is untrue In every par
ticular, as Mr.. Wilson Gregg, assistant
prosecuting attorney for Archer coun-
ty, yesterday arrived in this city
for the purpose of getting bondsmen
for Shiel and did so without trouble, Sc
curing the names of some of the best and
most substantial citizens OF Fort Worth
to the same. Referring to the bondsmen
both District Clerk IIartsfeld and Sheriff
Maddox certify that they are gilt edge
| and worth, either of them, $4,000. The
bonds are only for $500 Mr. Shiel
