Damages for Libel.

A special telegram to the Cincinnati
Enquirer from St.Louis published October
?, says; The jury in the case OF W. B.
Shattuc, genera! passenger agent Of the
Ohio & Mississippi railroad, VS.. Macarthur
& Bacon OF the Railway Register, pub
llsned in this city, brought in verdict
this afternoon awarding the plaintiff
$4,000 damages. This suit grew out OF a
charge published In the Register in May,
1885, rejecting on Mr.. Shattuc. The
charge was reiterated In several issues
after the libel was published, and Mr..
Shattuc was dared to come into court
AID give Messrs. Macarthur and Bacon
opportunity OF proving their charges.
The facts are the defendants did not pro-
duce one particle OF evidence which in
any way at all reflected on the plaintiff,
aud produced no evidence showing that
they had reasonable grounds for bellev-
Ing the charges made at the time OF publ
cation. Judge Treat before whom the
I 'lal has been held, instructed the jury as
follows:
"Under the pleadings of the case and
the admission of counsel, your duty is To
consider very limited line OF inquiry. 1t
Is admitted that the defendants pub
lished the alleged libelous matter con.
corning the plaintiff; that, in the eyes OF
the law, 1t was a libelous publication.
The defendants do not attempt, in the
language OF the law, to justify that pub.

AN Arm Lost In Gin Accident = Good

DoDD CITS, Tx, Oc:. lo.-A very dis,
tressing accident happened in our town
late yesterday evening. Mr.. C. c.
Matthews, who was feeding Hunter &
Wells gin, got his arm caught in the
saws OF the gin, and literally ground of
up to the elbow. The doctors amputated
the arm above the elbow, and Matthews
ls resting well after the fearful shock.
The accident is rendered unusually sad
by the fact that Matthews is a poor man,
with a family depending on his labor for
support.
Cotton is coming in rapidly now, aud
farmers show a disposition to sell, even
A. the present low prices, rather than take
enanees Tor higher prices later on. Cot
ton Is turning out much better than was

Special to the Gazette.
TAYLOR, TEX, Oct. l0.--A shooting
scrape occurred atout 1915 O'Clock last
nightin the saloon of Ed Rousseau at this
place resulting in his death. The quar-
rel, 1t appears, grew out of an old feud.
II is difficult as yet to get the true version
Of the killing, but from facts gathered 1t
seems that rowdy crowd at Rousseauis
saloon were disturbing the entire neigh
borhood. City Marshal Tom Smith, and
Ed Morris went In to arrest some parties
when Rousseau at empted to prevent the
arrest, and drew pistol on the officers and
then the shooting began. No one in
the crowd seems to know who fired the
first shot. Rousseau's right arm being
rendered useless by the first shot enter
ing near the elbow, he transferred the
pistol to the other hand, which was also
wounded before he could use the pistol
with effect. No one one knows by whom
he was actually killed, as both officers
were firing. On examination seven balls
were found in his body. Deputy Sheriff
Ed Norris left for parts unknown on the
north bound Missouri Pacific train
snortly AFTER the Killing. IL was thought
ne was gone, but he returned this morn
ing with two men, supposed to be his re-
lations, and has been in town all day.
Marshal Smith remained here, and in dis
cussing the affair was cool and collected,
claiming the same to have been done in
self defense. The verdict of the coro-
ner's jury is withheld until Monday.

Grandpa sunnybrow fell like an ear of ripe
And poor little Muriel grlevously missed
Him whose lips her young cheek so often had

One night while at play by the now vacant
