A thrilling event occurred in East Dal-
las this afternoon in which the old Roman,
John Henry Brown, played conspicuous
part. In order to perfectly unders and the
nature of il, the full history must be given
and the story runneth thus: Some
eighteen or twenty years ago, Col. A. H.
Shepard, who was one of the early
settlers of Texas, and a Mexican
war veteran, decided to John Henry
Brown ct al, as trustees, a certain
parcel of ground, which is now situated
on East Elm strest for a monument to the
confederate dead. When the property
was donated it had very little vslue at
tached to it, but the men into whose
hands it was entrusted held the object for
which it was granted sacred. Time
passed on, and the town of Three Forks
spread out into the city of Dal as, and
the monumental ground is worth as many
thousands as it was dollars twenty years
ago. Several years ago Old Col
onel Shepard died, aud his estate
passed into the hands of his heirs,
who subsequently, for consideration,
transferred the whole estate TO E. M. Till
man, the liquor merchant of this city.
Mr.. Tillman was under the impression
that the monumental ground was included
In the conveyance, and some days age he
leased the property to a Hebrew by the
name of Solomon, who proceeded to erect
a saloon upon it. Yesterday afternoon
when Major Brown was passing
by the place, the walls of the
proposed saloon were about three
feet high. The old patriot stopped and
enquired by what authority they were
building on that ground, and he was told
that the house was Solomon's, that it was
to be saloon and that the ground had
been leased to Solomon by E. M. Tillman.
Never was a mau more indignant than the
old gray haired veteran, whose heart
is his country's an1 whose best
energies have been devoted to
her both in peace and war. Without any
attempt at self-restraint he Drove the
masons away from the place, and, with
a batteriug ram, demolished the walls, and
then threw every brick off the lot. The
sight was pathetic and grand, and when
the crowd who gathered about learned the
majors action, they generously applauded
his motives and gave him cheer that
was heard long distance off.

TERRELL, May 3.-The first fire of any
consequence in Terrell occurred this morn.
ing The losses are as follows:
b. H. Scott, frame store, worth $1,000
entire loss; insured in the American Cen.
tral for $1,000.
B. II. Scott, two story brick building
worth $4,000, damage 81 200; insured il
the Pelican for $1,000, and Sua Mutual
for $1,000.
Bud Thompson, stock of groceries, val
ued at $1,000, nearly W total loss; insured
for 81, 115 in the Htna.
d. w. Smith, saloon and fixtures and
stock, valued at 81 300; insured for $1,000
damage about 5000.
The fire originated in the rear of Bud
Thompson's store, and soon spread over
the entire building, but by the unusual
good work of the firemen, the fire was
stopped at the first building, though CON
siderably damaging the WALL ceiling and
roof of the brick building adjoining it,
and a skeleton of the former store stands
monument of the skill and courage
of the fremen. The brick building
was only saved by extra work,
several fireman being overcome by the
heat and smoke in the second story. A
boy who mad been sleeping in the store
came near losing his life in the flames.
The origin of the fire is supposed to be
the work of burglars, who about that time
blew open the safe at the Central depot,
taking therefrom about $50, The fire oc-
Cured about 2;20 a. M, and the firemen
ceased their efforts about $3.50 a. m. There
was an abundance of water, and every
thing worked like charm.
