FIGHT WITH COWBOYS.
-FOUR MEN KILLED AND THREE
WOUNDED.
Fatal Quarrel About Board Bill
Murderer Haneed-A Queer
Verdict.

FoKT EIGGoTT, TEX, March 26.-For
some time past the cowboys employed
on the Lone Star ranch, near the town
of Tascesa, have been accused OF ma
veriCking" cattle that fell in their
way. On March 20th four beeves
owned by a friend of i. +. Woodruff,
a bartender in Tascosa, disappeared,
and the Lone Star ranch cowboys are
accused of sppropriating them, but
they strenuously deny the accusation.
Shortly after midnight on the 2lst in
slant the inhabitants of the town
were aroused by volley of rifles and
revolvers. Among those who jumped
10 their doors to ascertain the cause OF
the trouble was Jesse Sheets, hotel
proprietor. He had hardly looked
out when a second fusilade was fired,
and he fell dead, riddled with bullets.
As soon as light could be procured
the citizens made an investigation
and found Ed King, Frank Valley
and Fred Chiffon of the Lone Star
ranch dead, and Charles Emery and
the bartender, Woodruff, severely
wounded. 1t appears that the cowboys,
with a miscellaneous party, went to a
saloon to get a drink. After quiet
conversation the maverick" question
came up. Valley said that he was
tired Of the insinuations and added,
"By -, / won't stand it," All
hands drew their weapons and began
firing, but the cowboys evidently had
the disadvantage, being the poorer
marksmen. The officers have ar
rested Charles Emery, enc OF the
wounded men, John Cough, Kroun-
as, Catfish Kid" and Louis Boris
man. The prisoners claim that it was
matter of humiliation for one side
or the other and they did the best
they could for their own lives. The
killing of Sheets was entirely unin.
territorial as he was not connected
with the dispute in any way.

beating him. The prisoners sister
saws she came out of the house at this

TWENTY PHYSICIANS IN A PIT.
Serious Accident at the Jefferson Medi-
cal College Banquet.
tr0m " PALIalsIplla Reeord

rom the FHtttdetphid Record.
A serious accident, which may in one
case be attended with fatal results, oc-
Cured Friday evening at the annual ban
quet Of the Alumni Association of
Jefferson Medical College TO the faculty
and class of 1856 which was graduated at
the Academy of Music in the morning.
Many preparations had been made to rem
der the dinner, when was to occur az n a
tstorlum hall, on Broad street,
below Walnut, successful affair.
| The banqueting room was on the
upper floor OF the building. and about s
O'Clock, while waiting for the assem-
! bling OF the guests, s. number Of the young
doctors gathered IN the lower hall to sing
their college songs. The flooring in this
room is but temporary affair, and for q
space OF l00X30 feet 10 laid over the bathing
pool, which, however, contains no water
IN winter. In the western end Of the
room, where the piano was located, the
pool is ten feet deep. DR.. II. b. Cassel-
berry was seated at the piano. and the
strains Of John Browns Body" were fill
ing the air when there came a rush from
the lower end OF the room to Join in the
chorus. Without the slightest previous
sound OF warning the floor gave way and
the piano went down with crash.
A soon as help could be rendered it
was found that John Graham Goe, a grad
uate wHose nome is IN OHIO, had been
caught beneath the heavy piano and was
badly hurt internally, Clarence q. Dea-
! kyne. OF this city, was painfully injured
| about the face and head. James w. Lind
/ sey, from the interior Of Pennsylyani a,
/ had an ankle spraiRed and foot injured,
/ and Bartholomew Walls, OF Texas was
! badly injured. J. Miller and Edward
| Seitz, of Pennsylvania, were also badly
/ bruised. the others escaping uninjured.
Some difficulty was experienced in eX-
| Treating Dr.. Goe from his painful posi-
! ton, as he was doubled beneath the heavy
/ load Of debris. Some Of tue victims Of the
accident were taken to the Jefferson
| Medical College Hospital, while those
| who live in this city were taken home.
| Dne accident was caused by the break
| Ing Of a sill along the side Of the hall on
/ which the crOss-Deams rested. This let
/ the floor down on one side only, forming
/ an inclined plane, down which the men
! and piano slid to the bottom of the pool.
/ Mr.. Payne, the proprietor of the NatatO-
/ rum, said that the floor has stood severe
/ tests in the past and was considered in
! good condition. He thought that the sud.
/ den light upon one part of the structure
! had caused the accident, which would not
! have occurred under ordinary circum-
! afances
