A DESPERATE
In Texas Breaks up a Peaceful
Dance i'm a Terrible
Way.

Depisou, Tex, May li.-Last Saturday
night a dance was given at the place Of
Tom Davis, an Indian, who has a small
tract of land on the Washita river at lis
confluence with Red River. While ;he
dance was in progress, whisky peddler,
named Frank West, white man, appeared
on horseback and dismounted and
walked into the house, and asked tc join
the dance. West, who had two six
shooters buckled to his person, was
told to lay them aside and he might partic-
ipaie in the dance. This he REUSED to do,
remarking 81 am always fixed for the bust
ness end OF a United States marshal" The
fiddler, a negro named Press Curtis, stated
that he would not play for man who
danced with pistols on. West pulled one
of his revolvers and shot the fiddle out of
Curtis hand and then cleared the room OF
the dancers. He then shot the fiddler
twice in the right arm, remarking with
each shot: "You will never refuse to play
another fiddle for a white man."
One ball shattered the bone near the
elbow, the other passed through the wrist.
After the shooting West ordered the negro
to hold the candle In his left hand, as he
wished to snuff the light out. The order
was obeyed, and West shot the candle out
of the negro's hand. He then mounted his
horse and disappeared in the Wsshita
woods. The negro's arm was amputated
yesterday. West is q Texas desperate.
He is horse thief and whisky peddler and
scouts" in Texas and the Indian Terri
tory. On the upper Wsshita he is called
"Red West" as he invariably wears a
red silk handkerchief around his neck.

ANOTHER DISPATCH.

Parsons, Kan, May 5-A quorum of
the stockholders of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas did not arrive till yesterday
evening, consequently the annual meeting
will be held to-day. President Martinson
is not here, he having returned to New
York with the Dutch bondholders immed-
iently after hurried inspection of the
system. He and the foreign interest in the
road will be represented by John Upper of
New York. who holds proxies for something
like $4,000 shares. These with those held
by Simon Stern, the great New York rail-
road lawyer, make good round majority
There will be some change In the pres
ent directory. Mr.. Herndon, one of the
Texas directors Judge David Kelso, of
this city, and New York director, all of
whom are connected with the Missouri
Pacific, will retire and new directors be
elected in their stead. A Mr.. Hancock, of
Austin, will succeed Mr.. Hernd IN and a
Mr.. Enos will fill the vacancy of the New
York man. The successor of Mr.. Kelso
has not yet been agreed upoR, but it is not
improbable that it will be George A.
Eddy, of Leavenworth, one of the receiv-
ers. He pleased the foreign holders very
much on their recent visit and they think
it would be good stroke of policy to have
him more thoroughly identified with the
company's interests. Messrs. Thompson,
of Sedalia, Cross, Of Emporia, and Nc
Donald, of Fort Scott, will all be reelected.
The present officers will also be reelected.
In speaking of the plans of the different
interests of the system relative to the fu-
ture of the property, Mr.. Stern said "Ne-
gotistions have been pending for some time
to re organize the company, get it out OF
the hands of the receivers and make it the
great system it should be. None of these
plans have as yet been agreed
TO by all the interests, so can not
be made public. 1 have no doubt,
however, that an agreement will be reach
ed shortly, thorough reorganization ef-
fected, new stock and new bonds Used and
the road taken out of the hands of the
courts, put in first class condition and ex-
tensions made first to Kansas City and if
the business demands it, to st. Louis. The
and Great Northern will be
in the same manner and made
a part of the new system. The foreign
holders who went over the property a few
days ago are very much pleased
with its physical condition as compared
with one year ago. The receivers have
worked zealously to build up the
property. Although they were told
that the earnings Of the first week
in May exceeded the same period
of last year by 5000, yet they do not be-
lieve that shows the full strength of the
So much business was diverted
that the road has lost its influence and
may not yet have fully recovered from the
blow. The International is in an even
worse fix than under the Gould govern
ment."
