BENEDIKT's CONDITION.

ZRTTE was incorrectly informed as to the
bullet in Benedlkt's head being found
The physicians have been probing for it
ell day, and so far it has not been found.
His condition is much more favorable to-
day than ct the last report last night.
While the wound is serious, II
is not considered necessarily dangerous.
His wife in Florida, has been wired
that 1t is not necessary for her to come
home, as ell danger is now past. He hiss
not been removed from the store yet. He
is comfortably fixed near the place where
he fell. The store has been open all day
and business carried on as II nothing had
happened.
L. Cshp, who sRot Benedict yesterday,
is still in jail awaiting the action Of the
grand jury and the result of the wound
inflicted upon Benedict at his hands. Ee
is much more cheerful to-day, and
is jubilant over the announcement that
Benedict will likely recover. Many OF
his friends have cslled on him
to-dSy and volunteered financial assist
6nce requisite to the employment of good
legal ability to get him out of trouble.
Ag rule, the Hebrews Of Dallas Justify
him in his act, and will help him as far as
money can go There have been no new
developments concerning the cause OF the
difficulty.

SOUTH DALLAS.
The South DSllss annexation election |
which takes place next Saturday is now
beginning to warm up little. Judge
Chsrles 1. Evans, who lives in South
Dallas, says that while majority Of the
voters Of the territory signed the petition
for annexation, he fears that number
who signed, when free Of all outside
influence, will vote against the
measure. Another interesting feature
Is: If South Dallas snnexes on next
Saturday will the voters of that suburb
have @ voice in the Dslles municipal cleo
ton on the following Tuesday. TIE
GAZETTE reporter interviewed several
lawyers On the subject, and they gave it
as their opinion that in case South Dallas
annexed the voters could not participate
in the municipal election of'April 8.
