Parker County to Compete for the $500
PnIs at the state Fair.
Correspondence OF the Gazette
WATERFORD, Tex, May ia
meeting of the citizens of Westherford
and Parker county was held this after
noon in the county court room, for the
purpose OF determining whether or not
this county would compete for the $500
prize offered by the Dallas Sta:e Fair,
and to decide on some plan Of action.
Captain G. W. McGehee was elected
chairman Of the meeting, and Il. B.
Dorsey secretary. The chair, Captain 81.
Warren, Judge I. N. Roach, L. W. Chris
tian and others made short speeches,
giving their views as to the best plan to
De adopted.
1t was decided that Parker county
would enter the field as live competitor
for the prize above mentioned, and COM
mittee was appointed to solicit subscrip-
tions. The subscription list was opened
in the meeting and large amount was
u1scrlb bed.
The plan adopted was the erection of q
separate building at the fsir grounds to
contain the entire exhibit of Parker
county, thus showing the entire exhibit
Of the county to better advantage than
to have the different products and exhib-
its scattered through the large exposition
building.
Captain Henry Warren, was selected to
confer with the management of the state
fair, and select and secure the ground ON
which to erect the building for this cour-
tvs exposition.
The first Saturday in June was chosen
to meet for the further organization and
the report Of the different committees,
when 1t Is expected that one Of the
largest and most enthusiastic meet
ings will be held that has been wit
messed in this city for an age. Consider
able interest WAS manifested in
this wing, and 1t WAS easily
seen from the personnel Of the
meeting that they mean, business. The
citizens of this county are very sanguine,
as to securing the $500 prize, as this
county took more vsluble premiums st
the stste fair last yesr than any other
county n the state. And IL the citizens of
the city sad county will subscribe Hbe-
rally to this enterprise, there is no ques.
ton about Parker county taking the pre-
MUM as the banner county Of the state.
This nberality is required, because it will
cost considerable to erect the building
ana secure the exhibit and care for 1t.

Special 70 the Gazette.
MARSHALL, TEX, May 2o.-Some time
since the Marshall Electric Light and
Power Company, with chartered capital
of $50, 900, was organized In this city.
Several Of the subscribers paid in their
full subscription, while others paid only q
small portion, and others that refused,
when the time came, to pay anything.
Notwithstanding sll this, plant of 700
sixteen candle-power lamp capacity was
pun chased, ground bought and q sub
stantial brick building erected, the plant
placed in position, about three miles Of
posts planted. Two miles Of main wire
has been put up and subscribers to the
extent OF three-feurths the capacity OF
the plant were secured and duly served
company expended al the money they
$4,000. The workmen feeling rather in
secure in their wages, about $1,000 filed
liens on the plant. This action caused
other creditors to look out for themselves
in the best wsy they thought possible.
va pA1uby SfCHiAS Aaos ~ UCCamC Sflucut
that few Of the creditors contemplated
suing out an injunction and locking
the whole thing up. F. b. Prem
dergast, as counsel for them, pre-
pared the papers. In the mean.
time, the Westinghouse Electric Light
Company, who held lien for the plant,
learning Of the situation, telegraphed to
F. Adams, an attorney, to protect their
interests. This he proceeded to do, while
the Injunction papers were being prepared.
Adams prepared petition for q receiver
aud left on the midnight train last night
for Longview, where ne met Judge Halle
wood, returning from Austin, and pre-
sented his petition. T. P. Young was ap-
pointed receiver, and returned this morn
ing.
While all this was going on the sheriff
aud deputy was hunting for Mr.. c. A..
Murry, secretary and superintendent, ON
whom to execute the Injunction, but he
was nowhere to be found, Adams having
captured him. The writ, however, was
served this morning when they were very
politely informed that the company was
in the hands Of q receiver. The company
will now be operated by the receiver, and
will probably result in being good pro-
erty; otherwise 1t WAS feared by some
that it would have been Of little value to
the stockholders.

JUMPED FROM THE TRAIN.
Special to the Gazette.
LoNGvIKw, TEX, Msy 20.-Yesterday
as No. was running very fast about i've
miles east of this place, Charles Carter,
charged with burglary at Lindale, Texas,
jumped from the rear end of the smoking
car and escaped to the timber before the
train could be stopped. After some
search Sheriff Mcconnell OF Cass
county came here on the train
and left his deputy, Ed Allen,
to keep lookout for Carter. Some
hounds were secured and he was being
tracked, but without much success, when
two Of our sportsmen were bird-hunting,
heard hammering, slipped down into
ravine and found Carter endeaycring to
remove the handouts which were causing
him great pain, being the self-locking and
adjusting kind and frightened more and
more when hammered. 1t ls very strange
that Carter escaped death in making the
lump as the train was moving very
swiftly and going down grade, too, which
accounts for the failure to stop no sooner
when the bell cord YVES pulled by the
Sheriff.
When Carter struck the ground he
seemed to fall in knot and rolled over
and down q small dump out Of sight ap-
parently lifeless, but in reality alive, for
he must have made rapid re-
treat for the wood WAS several
hundred feet distant from the
track. The officers hsd become convinced
that Carter was willing to 60 back to
Lindale and answer the charge against
him, and left only one cuff and chain
attached to him, and allowed him to &C.
cupy another seat in the car, and were
looking out of the window when Carter
quietly walked out Of the rear door when
the officers attention was called to this
movement by passengers.
THE MILL STONE BURST.
From passengers who arrived here last
night the report Of q terrible disaster Is
obtained at Lindele, Tex, small town
on the Cotton Belt Railroad. Late yes.
terdsy evening . small corn-mill WAS
grinding when suddenly the milestone
burst with fearful force, completely de-
molishing the mill-house and msngling
the miller, Oliver Baker, beyond
recognition, and also seriously
snd probably fatally wounding
Mack Adams, who Was taking the corn
meal away from the mill. A negro named
Peg.leg Lewis had his toes smashed eff
and his wooden leg smashed to kindliDg
wood. Another negro, name not learned,
WAS knocked down by plsnks, and several
others were slightly injured by flying
debris.

TERRELL, TEX, May 19.-What came
near being serious sfftey occurred late
yesterday evening. Charles Brady and
W. T. McGwier were dlsputing when
they became angry, and Charles Brady,
having knife which was supposed to be
for McGW1er, Infatuated the lat
ter 60 that he grabbed .
spade that was near on the
sidewalk, and gave Brady lick on the
hesd, cutting large and ugly cash. The
wound was dressed and Brady went
home, while McGwier submitted himself
to Deputy Sheriff Joe Keller. At first it
was thought the wound would prove
fatal, owing probably TO the immense
amount of blood issuing from it, but 1t
is not considered fatal, though q bad
cash.
