In Reply to MT. Bottoms.
To the Editor of the Gazette.

GRAHAM TEX, oct, ID, 1886.
To the Editor OF the Gazette.
Your paper of the 18th contains let
ter from one Mr.. M. f. Bottoms, deputy
sheriff of Jack county, which, nnox
planned is liable to mlslead persons not
familiar with the facts, and ask space
in your columns for short reply. The
facts in the case are: That on the 10th
day of February, 1886, in Young county,
one OF our citizens, Fritz LichJe, was as
sassinated by some party or parties, the
object of the murder being evidently for
what money Lichte was supposed to
have. There was nothing but circum-
stances to indicate who were the guilty
parties, but the circumstances strongly
pointed to William Pitts and John G.
Crow as the parties who committed the
cold-blooded and cowardly murder.
These men lived In Jack county, only u
short distance from the residence OF Nj.
F. Bottoms, deputy, etc. On the 18th
day of February, l 1856, William Pitts was by
me arrested andby grand jury of Young
county indicted for the murder of Lichte.
AT the time of Pitts arrest l had a war
rant for the arrest of Crow, and used
every effort to accomplish his arrest, but
as he lived in tie roughs of JackIcounty,
and | was not acquainted with the coun-
try could never come up with him. The
district attorney had an attachment
issued for Crow in the case VS.. Pitts, as
witness for the state issued to Jack
county, and, as Mr.. Bottoms states, it
was put in his hands for services. Said
attachment was returned not executed
because the witness could not be found.
| continued my efforts to capture said
Crow, without avail On the 2Sth day of
September, 1856, Mr.. NJ +. Bottoms came
into Graham, and after consultation with
the attorney for Pitts and Grow, told me
that ii / only wanted Crow as an attached
witness, he could get him to come In and
| give witness bond, Mr.. Bottoms then
went to the district clerk and had an
alias attachment issued for said Grow
AS Mr.. Bottoms seemed to be acting as
the agent and friend of Grow, did not
feel authorized to inform him that in adj
dition to the attachment as a witness,
had a warrant for his arrest on the charge
OF murder, consequently practlced de.
ception on Mr.. Bottoms and had, assist
ance at hand to arrest Crow or the war
rant as stated, which warrant with my re
turn OF Its execution is on file in the Office
OF the justice OF peace, precinct No.
OF Young county. AS to taking Grow
from Bottoms by force, affirm and car
prove by Crow, that Bottoms never haC
him arrested or in custody. Mr.. Bottoms
may desire the punishment of the guilt
parties, but the fact remains that for ninC
months he has not attempted the arrest O

reason for seeking possession Of local
Offices, and the Democracy, for the first

THE GAZETTE has not said so,
as Mr. Tally asserts but there is no
doubt that there is much to justify the
the very general idea that such is the
case. For years no party thought Of
nominating candidates for local offices in
Tarrant county; every man ran for office
that desired to do so, and II, as Mr.. Tally
declares, there was ga feeling of rebel
lion among the farming element against

strange this Charming element" did not
signify it at the polls. THE GAZETTE
fails to see how there could be "dicta-
ton" ana "scheming" when every man
ran for office that desired to do so, and
the people were free to vote for whom
they pleased. We never heard of this
"dlctation" and "scheming" until about
a month after the strike; the men who
sympathized with the strikers are now

the officers who attempted to enforce law
and maintain order are the especial OBJ
jects of the wrath Of DarK-Lantern
leaders, and the newspaper that Knocked

said the Dark-Lantern ticket was
the outgrowth of the strike, but there
is much to justify the public belief
that 1t is, and that this is why the alleged

public do not understand what the prose-
cutting attorney of Tarrant county and a
justice of the peace In Fort Worth can
do to lift the burdens laid on the people
by national or state legislation. THE
GAZETTE does shine for all, for all
classes, and therefore opposes the effort
Of few men of one or two classes to

To.the Editor OF the Gazette
Please publish this letter In order to
correct your statement Of facts made in
THE GAZETTE OF the 18th, in regard to
the Fitzpatric case, recently decided at
Fort Smith, Ark. In the first place, was
never partner of Frank Murry. Sec
ondly, l never drove any cattle from his
ranch as stated in your account. The
1900 head Of cattle were given up by Muir
ray and sold by me to II. s. Rollins Of
Gainesville. / never sent after the cattle
but once; the men / sent were Bob
Woods, Irven Ivy, Tom Maynes, Dick
Covitt, Tom Corbit and Dick Jones
One man, John Hooper, in the employ
of Wilson and Norris got with my party
after they started. They camped within
five miles of the hurry ranch on the
night of the 18th of August, So, and the
next morning five of my men and Wilson
and Morris man went over to the Muir
ry ranch. My other man staid at the
camp to care for the horses, of which
there were flfty-six head. When they
rode up they were fred upon by persons
concealed in Murry's ranch home, and
from the best evidence l can get there
were twenty-seven men in the house.
Two of my men were killed and another
had his horse killed. The cattle were
given up by hurry to me after the killing.
The bringing Of these men to justice in
spite of their money and friends shows
that man will get his dues at that court.
BY the verdict of the jury my action was
sustained. My name is l. S. Williams,
instead of Kirk, as published by you

To the Editor of the Gazette.
We call Il the Peoples party. You persist in
calling 1t the Dark Lantern party Suppose the
candidates on the Peoples ticket icere selected
privately and In secret. They are openly before
the people and claim 10 be honest, capable and
FAITHFUL. DO you deny this? Now, you say you
believe majority should rule, and have always
professod TO be in special sympathy with the
agricultural interests You know that the
workingmen of this county favor the Peoples
ticket but to hold intact the interest Of those
who never did days manual labor you oppose
them, Time was when a Demo cratic nomlna-
ton In this county was tantamount to an cleo
ton. Do you not know that day IL gone? When
you saw that there was an evident revolution of
sentiment among the workingmen of the coun-
ty to select men of their own choice,d you not
think II would have been best for you to have
advised an endorsement of the ticket? You say
that the Peoples ticket is the outgrowth of the
strike DO you not know, as a fact, that for
years this feeling of rebellion has been brewing
among the farming element because of the
dictation and scheminp Of q few men? As you

GEORGE, SOCIALISM AND AN
ARCHY
CLEpuRNE, TEX, Dot.

CLEpuRNE, TEX, Oct 81 1886.
Editor Fort Worth Gazette:
1t is very easy to belittle man, and you,
notice, do not find 1t difficult to ridicule Henry
George and his theories.
Mon are looslng faith not merely in religious
dogmas, and used-up institutions In general,
but, 1t is a fact that will come home to you
sooner than you anticipate. In newspapers, not
so many years ago, the editor was looked upon
as the concentration of the wisdom OF the re-
spective town, and the Geographic news was
believed to be impartial.
To day, the thinking class must look for in
formation in books, for newspapers have de-
generated to travelling vehicles OF lies lies that
cry TO the masses for readjustment. The day
Is not far off when social revolution will
change social and economic conditions, and men
like George viii be the leaders. Anarchy
and socialism will yet be looked upon to aspire
to, and moss backed Democrats and moss
backed Institutions will have to go. SANDER
George to your own satsfaction-it may suit
the prejudices of your narrow minded readers
but the dawn of a better day Is not SO far,
when clearer and more Intelligent under
standing will prevail. o. F.SToNE
If THE GAZETTE had any doubt as to
the correctness Of its estimate Of the
tendency OF all such innovations as that
proposed by Henry George, surely the
views OF Mr.. Stone would dissipate that
doubt. When Mr.. Stone declares that
anarchy will yet be regarded as a thing
to be desired, his endorsement of Henry
Georges politictl philosophy becomes
pregnant with meaning to old fashioned
people who have labored long years to
acquire property and who believe that
the destruction of indivldualism is the
end of liberty. There are now in Chi.
cago seven men who believed that an.
archy wss thing to "be aspired to;''
and jury of "moss- backed" Democrats
and Republicans sentenced these men to
death for putting into practice the an
archy that Mr.. Georges defender be,
lieves to be a thing TO be aspired to
Certainly, in the opinion of men who dc
not see the beauties of anarchy as Mr.
Stone does, THE GAzETTE's ISLANDER" O
Henry George will be esteemed trivia
offense compared to Mr.. stones eviden
view of what the George theory viii
