DALLAS, June 13.-Oflicer Holdings
fielder was fired upon this morning at
O'Clock by party of negroes in cabin
on the Central railroad, between San
Jacinto and Bryan. He was passing by
the place and was attracted by disorderly
sounds proceeding from the house, which
was occupied by negro prostitutes and
their lovers. He told them to keep order,
whereupon negro fred upon him. The
officer returned the fire, which was re.
sponded to by volley from the
house. Several of the shots took
effect, and Heidingsfelder fell, pain
fully wounded. He soon arose, however
and as he was leaving the place ne heard
a darkey say "Let's go out and kill him."
The authorities are after the rascals.
To-day, as an express wagon containing
the forms of the Texas Post was back
ing up at the Western Newspaper union,
where the Press work for the paper is be-
ing done, the wagon capsized, and one of
the forms, containing two pages, was
pied. Another form was badly battered.
It was an unfortunate accident, as it will
probably delay the issue of the paper
several days.
The celebrated injunction suit, styled
"The Waco Bridge company vs.. Lee
Slaughter ct al.," is on trial to-day. At
the May term of the court at Waco a
preliminary injunction was granted by
Judge Pardee, and the trial in the Dallas
court will determine, as far as its juris-
diction goes, the tinality of the order is,

of the efforts of the Waco and
McLennan county people to build
bridge across the Brazos to relieve them
selves of the burden of the toll bridge,
which now exists and is owned by the
Waco Bridge company, whose charter has
not yet expired. The Bridge company

statement of the cost of an average
Thousand pound steer; the cost of
slaughtering, refrigerating, and de-
livering the dressed meats, hides
tallow, tongues and offal on board
ship at Galveston and considered the
prices offered and showed a handsome
profit as the result. Mr.. Pryor has faith
in the enterprise as shown by his sub
scription to the capital stock of the pro-
posed Fort Worth company, he taking
$4,000. AS Mr. Pryor is practical
stockman and has given considerable at
tention to the investigation of theIdressed
beef business his opinion and investment
carries weight. Mr.. George Williamson,
of San Antonio, another south Texas
stockman, addressed the meeting, saying
that the cattle men of the state would
make donations of cattle to the
company if it was organized on solid
basis and would enter into the proposed
contract with Mr.. Dobson. Several stock
men representing western Texas were
present and said that the counties would
donate from 100 to 200 head of fat cattle
to the company as bonus if the works
were run. There is every probability that
the effort will be successful. Mr.. Dobson
has letter of credit for $500,000, and is
backed by unlimited capital.

LAGRANGE, June 13.-This community
was severely shocked by the death OF
Charles j. Bradshaw. The deceased was a
young attorney, the OILY son of our hon

Bradshaw. He was just entering upon
his professional career, and, by his manly
course, had endeared himself to our
people. With none of the vices and many
of the virtues of youth, he was young
man of great promise, and as such his
memory will ever be cherished. The sym

BILE loss. The Fayette County Light
Guards, the bar of this county, and the
city council, to which he belonged as city
attorney, and the citizens generally at
