An Attempt to Defraud Hardeman County
Out of Her school Lands.

An Attempt to Defraud Hardeman County
Out of Her school Lands.
Correspondence Of theiGazette.
MARGARET, TEX, March 24.-For some
time our citizens have been thinking that
all was not well in the management OF our
county affairs, but not until Friday morn
ing of last week were they certain that
these suspicious were well founded. Our
commissioners had been making eXtrava-
rant appropriations in the way OF build
ings, books, safes, allowances, etc, all OF
which were attributed to their ignorance
rather than any purpose to do wrong
They had built court house at the cost
OF some Sll00, Jail costing 10000, had
paid for books about $4,000, for TRANSCRIPT
ing records about $1,000, for two large
safes $1,000, and had increased many other
minor expenses, beside an order for the
building OF a $4,000 courthouse All
before the county was one year old.
An of this was submitted 70 with but
little resistance, but at the last regular
meeting OF the honorable commissioners
court, they passed an order to send Judge
w. L. Gordon, II. Scott and w, j. West
moreland to Hockey county, some
$50 miles away, to survey and
classify the lands belonging to the county

be fair taxable value This sum the auditor

this criticism is rather harsh, vet u IL quite

freight train. drawn by a switching engine. left
the Iron Mountain depot and reached Benton,
twenty five miles south, at noon The passenger
engine which was to take the ST. Louis train
south was captured at the round-house by
masked strikers and sent after the freight train
The freight train was overtaken at
Benton and disabled, when the strikers
started back toward Little Rock with
the passenger engine. At Mablevale, ten miles
south of the city, they waited on side-track for
the passenger train to go by. The train came
along, and when the last car had passed they
threw the switch open and dashed out in the
direction of Little Rock. United States Marshal
Fletcher and several deputies were on the pas
Wheedon- The track was cleared for the
switch engine, the officers got aboard and
pursued the strikers, both reaching and
dashing past the depot under full Roadway.
While crossing the bridge the pursuing engine
caught and made fast to the strikers engine. and
the officers began climbing aboard, ordering the
strikers to stop. They refused, and reaching
the north side of the bridge several strikers
jumped off, and the officers began firing. About
fifty shots were fred and one striker, named
Sullivan, was shot in the leg severely, and was
captured. Seven others, besides Sullivan, were
captured and officers are in pursuit of the fugi-
tives, about eighteen in number. The captured
strikers were released on bond, and tonight
everything is quiet, although considerable ex-
element prevails
