Jones who was convicted of an old case of
horse theft and who is held her awaiting
an appeal. The criminal dockets of the
county grow less each year and it
is seldom the jailer has m9ny

Gain and gone to raising better things,
such as fine horses, and other stock,

The Mexican Said to Have Been Drug,
ged-Exciting Scenes.
New YORK. May 12.-The crowd at
Madison Square garden after midnight
was estimated at fully 10000 spectators
At times the excitement was intense. This
was caused by the fact that Guerrero, the
Mexican, had succeeded In getting two
and half miles ahead of Little wood. 1t
was plain, however, that the wonder full
work of the day was telling on the fleet
footed greaser. Shortly after midnight
he commenced to stagger around the
track like drunken man. He retired to
his hut only to be driven out again by his
relentless trainers. Again he stag
gered and relied along until
he reached the Madison avenue side OF
the garden, where to the amazement OF
the multitude he fell to the ground. The
poor fellow got up only to fall again, and
dozens of voices cried OUT
che HAS BEEN DRUGGED."
This his trainers positively denied. He
was taken off the track amid the groans
of the spectators. Littlewood and his
trainers took advantage of the Mexican's
troubles. The Englshman piled up
miles until 8 O'Clock, when he had left his
plucky contes tant for first place thirteen
miles in the rear. At this hour Guerrero
came on the track again. Littlewood
started in, logging him step by step.

HERNDoN'S RESOLUTION

Adopted by the Smith County Democrats,
Ignoring Prohibition.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
TYLER, May 12.-The democratic con.
vention of Smith county met in Tyler to-
ent from every club in the county. Hon.
Jno. NJ. Duncan was made chairman, II.
V. Ham lton, j. s. Bonner and L. M.
Green, secretaries. One member from
each club was appointed as
a committee on permanent organization.
After organization was effected Hon. w. S.
Herndon offered thu following resolu-
ton, which, after a rather heated discus.
sion, was adopted by a vote of so to 46.
Resolved, That we, the democrats of
Smith county, in convention assembled,
declare our opposition to any party action
on the subject of prohibition, and hereby
instruct our delegates to nse their iuhu,
ence and votes against all expressions or
resolutions presented to the conven
ton at Fort Worth attempting or propos-
ing to commit the democratic party for
or against prohibition or any regulation
of the liquor Traffic.
A motion prevailed to elect twenty four
delegates to the state convention at Fort
Worth Col. s. R. Bonner moved that the
delegates be chosen half and half, pros
and ants, which motion carried.
Five of the anti delegates refused to
serve under the resolution instruoting
them, viz: Horace Gibson, A. F. Gone, N.
Wenley, Cone Johnson and T. o. Wildert.
The convention was a repres entative
one in every respect, composed in great
part of delegates who have often before
served the democrats of the county in the
same capacity,
