BURNETT BUDGET.

Professor Hill, of the University, Exam
lining the Geology of the County.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
BURNET, February 6.-Professor Hill, of
the State University, and number Of
students are here examining the mineral
resources of the county for scientific pur-
poses. They could not have found bet
ter field than Burnet county can furnish.
Burned is now having her streets cleaned
of rocks that have SO long been an eyesore
to the citizens. The principal crossings
are being laid with granite chips, or
refuse from the old Wilkeville yard out
south of town, and it is expected we will
begin to have good square around the
court house, where most of the travel is
done, and when it rains is extremely in
convenient for pedestrians who have to go
to the postoffice for their mail. II is
hoped this departure will remedy the mat
ter.
Mr.. j. W.. Kyle, an old resident of
Burnet and several times mayor, has sold
out his furniture business here and will
locate in Temple in the future. Burnett
loses good citizen in Mr.. Kyle's depart
ure.
The Marble Falls tannery is now turn
ing ont as fine shoes as are sold in Burnet,
and their goods are selling readily when
ever shown. There is no need now to
buy from the north when the people Of
Texas can get just as good make from as
good materials here at home, and then
they will be patronizing home enterprise,
which should receive every encouragement
possible from Texas merchants. The
writer has seen samples and can find no
fault with them in comparison to those
brought from the north. This enterprise
started from small beginning and had
to be enlarged several times to meet the
demands for the goods.

THE OLD STORY.

A Swindler Wined and Dined Gets in His
Work and Escapes.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Ell PAso, February Ga stranger by
the name of j. W. Spencer, representing
himself as wealthy cattle man from Palo
Pinto county, visited the city few days
ago ostensibly to purchase large ranch,
He was taken in hand by the affable Geo.
B. Loving, a real estate operator, who wined
and dined the alleged capitalist, introduced
him to prominent citizens and spent con-
siderable money for hack hire, showing
him around the city. Yesterday Spencer
agreed to buy $4,000 ranch and request
ed Loving to make out the deed as soon as
possible. While this was being done he
presented a draft for several hundred
dollars on Dallas bank, which
Loving cashed, besides advancing him
other money. The alleged capitalist then
deserted for Chihuahua, leaving his victim
to mourn over his loss. John Tollansbeel
a partner of Senator George Hearst, OF
California, says the same fellow beat him
out of 800 few days ago in chihuahua
telegram from Chihuahua to-day says
the authorities there have just arrested
Spencer and Jailed him.

DENIsoN, February 7.-At II O'Clock
last night shooting affrsy occurred on
Candy street which cast gloom on more
than one family. 1t is the same old story
of woman's infdelity and the result is two
men are now lying in bed grievously
wounded. Mr.. W. W. Sherwood, fuel
agent of the Fort Worth division of
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railroad
and Mr.. Ben Hasburg, a prominent mer-
chant of Denison, we're the parties en-
gagged in the affair. Sherwood lost two
fingers off his right hand. A bullet plowed
through his left forearm and one struck
him in the right breaat, making a slight
flesh wound. Mr.. Hasberg
stopped 41-calibre bullet strik-
ing him under the right arm
and ranged back, inficting an almost neo-
essarily fatal wound, and one through his
left forearm. Both men were in a little
room of the Sherwood house and both
fired until their pistols were empty. The
affair is greatly regretted as all the parties
are highly connected.
On Travis avenue last night at O'Clock
Mrs. Clark Keller was horribly burned by
her dress catching fire from the oook
stove. Sheran out of the house to
neighbours and before the fire could be
tinguished she was horribly burned. II
life is dispaired of.

GAINESVILLE, F February wv. O. Whit

few days ago Mr.. Whitford had occasion
to be absent from home for few days,
and during his absence Armstrong took
Whitford's wife and drove over to Gaines
