SHERMAN, TEX, May 9s.-The first
item In to-dsy's railroad column of the
Dallas Morning News caused broad
smile to iliumne the faces Of Its Sherman
readers. 1t was In regard to the st. Lous :,
Arkansas & Texas railroad, to secure q
branch Of which from Mount Pleasant
to sherman, the latter place has
raised subsidy Of Sl50,000 A commit
tee OF gentlemen from sulphur Springs
and Mount Vernon who were here the
other day, went on to Dallas, and con-
corning their visit the Rumbler says:
"The committee visited sherman first, and
tbey report the people of taat town red hot
over the matter But they did not find Dallas
SO enthusiastic, from the fact that no definite
or other proposition has ever been made to
Dallas by the road, and there Is no basis or
starting point for BOOM"
Further on covert attempt is made to
discredlt the genuineness of Sherman's
success in securing this line. That she
has done this there is no earthly reason
to doubt, and that by reason of greater
display of liberality and enterprise than
Dallas ever has or Is ever likely
to exhibit. While Dallas has
slumbered Sherman has been
busy getting up the biggest bonus heard
Of for long time, and she will get there,
Eli, with both pedal extremities--all
bogus letters and rumbling racket to the
contrary, Notwithstanding. If the gentle
men who have taker the matter in hand
here had not received solid assurances
that the road would be built, why should
they have exerted themselves to raise
such a subsidy? Dallas may dream OF
"another trunk line aud two rich feeders
but Sherman has acted and walks away
with the prize. On to Mount Pleasant

Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Wells had little
unpleasantness the other day. The
latter is tonsorial artist, the other is
engaged In lettering the condition OF
the streets of Sherman. Mr.. Wells
had heard that Taylor had said
ugly things about him ia conuec-
ton with woman, not his wife
Thereupon he tackled Tayl =, not know
ing that he had Int upon IN ugly man

scarcely made use Of the irst impolite
eplthet when Taylor made him. Wells
who was In buggy, saved himself by Q
prudent retreat, but went t. the city AND
tlled complaint against Taylor tor as
sault and disturbance. This morning
the latter was acquitted by q jury, anC
now files complaint against Wells fol-
the same otfense. A large Grove
attended the trial, hoping to hear some
sensational items connected with the case
but the judge sternly refused to allow any
questions tending to elicit such develop
ments. But great many have caught OF
anyhow, though the romance of a box
car may never see the light of day il
print.
