A CLOSE GAIL.
StsaosrGpbes Bpssey's harrOw Escape
Arother Train Fired INTO Near Dawson.

SteaosrGpber Bpssey's hurrow Escape
Arother Train fired into Wear Dawson.
The Cuthhert Liberal gives the
following account of Stenographer
j. B. Bussey's narrow escape from
death on the cannon ball near
Dawson.
The editor of the Liberal was a
passenger on the train at the time
and was sitting near Mr.. Bussey:
-. B. Bussey, Esq, was within
two inches of death at two o'clock
Sunday morning. The place was
one and a half miles beyond Daw-
son on board the west bound cam
non ball train. The train was run
ming at the rate of thirty miles per
hour. Mr., Bussey lay with head
against window, his feet toward
the aisle, on the south side of the
coach. Suddenly, bang, bang,
bang, went several ristol shots on
the north side Of the road. TIL.
editor Of the Liberal was sitting
TWO seats in advance of Mr.. BUS
sey on the opposite side of the.
coach. About twenty feet from
the road bed we saw the flashes of
the pistol or pistols in very quick
succession. Mr.. Bussey sprang up
suddenly, rubbing his ear. In a
moment conductor Hall ran into
the coach from the baggage car
where he had seen the shots fred
and knew the firing was towards
the train. A look through the
coach revealed the fact that one of
the balls (38 calibre) had passed
through the sash opposite where
Mr.. Bussey sat and had buried it,
self in the sesh against which his
head was lying, passing through
the brass plate by which the sash
is raised. 1t had come in such
close contact with the ear as to
burn it considerably. Had his
head been lying two inches further
to the right he would have been
instantly killed. There were eight
or ten passengers aboard, and had
the coach been crowded some one
would most certainly have been
killed. One ball bad entered the
baggage car near where conductor
Hall was standing. r.lis was the
second lime within week that a
train had been fired into in the
neighborhood of Dawson. We
learn that in the immediate neigh
borhood of where the shooting &C
Cured Sunday morning there is a
house of ill tame that is frequent>
ed, especially on Saturday nights,
by crowds of drunken rougbs. We
doubt not that some clue might be
had to the shooting by an arrest of
the women who occupy this house.
They could be made to disclose the
names of those who were at the
house at that late hour. 1t be-
hooves the Terrell county authors
ties to use all diligence to bring
these wretches to justice. The
railroad authorities should offer
large reward for them.

TERRELL TALKS
To Farmers and About Farmsrs--An In
feresfiHq ADDRESS.

fereSting Address.
Hon. Ben Terrell, lecturer Of
the Farmers National Alliance, de.
livered an address in Dawson on
last Monday according to appoints
ment.
Mr., Terrell is q plain hut forci-
bic speaker and all who heard him
were impressed with his earnest,
aess. He is well informed on all
subjects connected with the order
which he represents, and gave the
farmers good and sound advice.
He was introduced to the audi
enee by VIM. Martin.
His address was simply to show
the objects and aims of the ALI
ance and that its success could not
possibly harm people in other
avocations.
He argued from the standpoint
that The farmers of the country
produced the wealth, and ii the
wealth is increased then as a natur>
al consequence there will be more
general business done. so every
business would be benefited in
proportion. For instance, if the
farmer can get better price for
his produce, the money would be
put in circulation, proving a bene-
fit to all classes. Now, if by stand
ing together and trading for cash,
thus getting rid of credit, the vast
difference between cash and credit
would remain with the farmer to
spend again with the merchant.
He said that the farmers are in a
most deplorable condition and the
Alliance propose to benefit them
socially, financially. mentally and
III every other way.
Mr.. Terrell closed hisaddress by
urging the farmers to take stock in
the exchange, and thereby assist
each other.
