HILLSBORO.

Angsred mt His Father. I'm. Law, Dave
Hammer Assaults Him vigorously.
Special to the Gazette.
HHLsBoEo, TEX, June 24.-Cons,der.
able excitement was occasioned In Hills
boro late yesterday evening by report
that one Dave Hammer, living several
miles south of the city, had killed his
father-in-law, Mr.. S. c. Dean. Immedi-
ately several officers, among them Deputy
Sheriff Tom Burks and Constable Hickey,
proceeded TO the place where the din.
Guilty had taken place. Arrived at
Mrs. Thompson's, four miles from
town, the officers found Hammer
seated near the door. Having arrested
him without any difficulty, they then
proceeded TO investigate the condition of
Dean, who was lying on pallet prepared
for him. Df. Dudley had arrived by this
time, and proceeded to dress the wounds,
which had not proved fatal, as reported,
but were very painful.
The cause OF the ARRAY was q quarrel
between Hammer and Bud Dean, his
hrother-in-law. Blows ensuing, S. C,
Dean attempted ~ interfere with his knife
In his hand. This turned Ham .ner's
wreth ON his father.ln-law, whom he
ruck over the head with his pistol,
which at the same time went off. The
old man fell to the ground bleeding, and
the knife which he held in his hand as he
fell, stuck through the hand, thus making
another ugly wound.
Hammer was brought to town, where
he Is required to give $3.50 bond, aud
Dean was taken to his home near Aouills,
II is thought Hammer was under the in
tiuenoe of whisky,

New complications are arising in the

Several steel works are idle in consequence
of wage disputes, and the demand for nails
Is becoming so strong that y very large
number of orders have been refused. A
monument manufacturer says:
There is really a growing scarcity OF
steel. The Riverside works and those al
B~ellaire are shut down, also several others
because CT wage disputes, and until these
difficulties are settled the supply OF

Throughout Inc Western Association mill.
there are $50 machines operating at the II

There is one noteworthy feature, con.
tinuei the gentleman, viz, mat the pres
ent stocks on hand are less than o%ne-itth

for nails becomes strong it may be tina
the strikers will get what they want.
