He stands indicted in this county, charged
with participating in the mob that hanged
a negro in this city in June, 1886, for an

FoRr WORTH, April 1S-The early trains
to ths ranks of the Knights of Pythias
from ell over the state. They came in
from San Antonio, Galveston, Paris, Dallas
and other cities. The trains from the
east brought the uniformed divisions of
Dallas, numbering twenty five knights,
and of Paris, numbering eighteen knights.
The number of uniform divisions TO take
part in the drill this afternoon was
four, to wit: Paris, Dallas, Weatherford
and Fort Worth. The Sam Houston d.
vision, of Paris, numbers Is men; the
Coeur de Lion division, Of Dallas, 25; the
Lone Star division, of Weatherford, ~,
and the w. R. Cause division, of Fort
Worth, 30 men. The members of all
these divisions are fine looking men, and
present martial appearance in their
handsome uniforms.
The attendance o.day of Knights, not
members of the uniform rank, was largely
in excess of that of yesterday, this being
what was regarded as the big day. There
were 500 Knights of Py thias in the city.
The Grand Lodge resumed its session
this morning at 8 o'clock, there being
representatives from every lodge in the
state, with about five exceptions.
This meeting of the lodge is the largest
ever held in Texas, which is
partially attributed to the fact
of rapid increase of the
order in Texas. The location of
the Grand Lodge building was postponed
until the next annual meeting. No final
action was taken to day on reports of the
grand officers.
In the afternoon the Knights marched
to the ball park, whore the Dallas division
and the Fort Worth FencibIes drilled, when
darkness brought the exercises to close.
The Dallas division will receive the
prize offered by the home lodges for the
best drilled division.
Tonight ball is going on, and two
6apquets will be given before morning.
To morrow the welghty business of the
Grand Lodge will be transacted.

Fort WORTH, April .19,-When the
Texas cattlemen were at the Denver CON
vention the subject of beef refrigerator
in Texas was largely discussed among
them, with the result that definite prop
ositions were made and accepted upon
certain conditiOns), and such was the
nature of these propositions that one of
the most conservative stock II zen of Fort
Worth said tonight that the securing Of
refrigerator for Texas appeared
more certain now than it had ever done
before. Exac ly what the propositions
were cannot be learned, but Ike L. Pryor,
Of Austin, was named as the leading spirit
in the movement, and it is understood
that he will be in Fort Worth on April "a,
when, backed by the cattlemen
of the state, he will make this
city an offer of the location of a refrig-
Grating plant. Mr.. Pryor has, since his
return from Denver, been moving about
among the cattlemen, obtaining from
them their views and the promise of their
cooperation in the business, and it is
known that he feels highly pleased with
the encouragement he has received
in his work. A reporter had a
talk to night with R. NJ. Taylor, one
of the editors of the San Antonio Stock
man, who is at present in Fort WORTH
with regard to refrigeration In Texas
"The Stockman," said Mr.. Taylor, "sup
ported the movement for the location OF
the concern in Houston, not because
Houston is in a more suitable geograph-
ical position than any other place, but
besause refrigerators were needed in
Texas, and it was reasonable to suppose
if aid were given for the establishment of
one at that place, and it proved financially
successful, Others would be erected at
other points in the state.
The cattlemen of the southern
part Of the state" said Mr.. Taylor,

Germ in operation in the state as are those

ton failure that will be willingly trans
