land and appurtenances, is worth $27O,-
QUO, and was capable of an output of
II 100000 feet of lumber annually, from
which the plaintiffs were max
ing a clear net profit of 100000
annually; that the defendants en-
tered into trust called the "Texas Lum-

defendants signed and printed a circular
which issued from the headquarters of thu
association at Austin, and which was sen
to all the lumber dealers in the state, no
tifying them that the plaintiffs and severa
other firms had violated section IL, ant
asking them to discontinue their patron
ago to said manufacturers. That the cir

FATAL SHOOTING sCRAPE.

Two Brothsrs-in-Law Engage in Pistol
Duel.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Fort WORTH, February 19.-News came
to town tonight of shooting ARRAY be-
tween AL Ray and Lon Gilbert, both we'll
to- do farmers, living five miles south of
town. The trouble grew out of the sep
aration of Lor Gilbert and his wife.
Ray and Gilbert are brothers
in-law. They met in the road
when Ray shot at Gilbert and killed Gil,
b srt's horse from under him. Gilbert got
off his horse and went towards Ray, while
Ray fired the remaining shots from his
pistol. Gilbert was afraid to shoot owing
to Rays family being in the wagon with
him, and walked to within six feet of Rays
wagon and fired two shots, which hit Ra!
in the breast and bowels. Gilbert gav'
himself up to the Dallas county authori
ties. Ray will die. Gilbert was not hit.

He said Landlord Ketchum and wife were

The following are at the hospital:

badly bruised and both legs broken;
Michael Kerrigan, Unionvilie, badly
bruised.
The hotel was built about fifteen years
ago, and cost, with furniture, 100000.
The soil was soft, and, although the build
ing was carefully built, it soon settled
badly. The insurance is $3S,O00 1t is
stated that no fragment of the boiler has
yet been found, which initiates against
the theory OF boiler explosion.
TAKEN OUT ALIVE.
HARTFORD, Conn.,, February 1S.-At
about l O'Clock a. m. enthusiastic cheers
broke forth from the crowd. Landlord
Ketchum and his wife were taken out
alive and able to drink come hot soffee
with relish. No small wonder, consider
ing they had been imprisoned in their
night clothes in the cell and with flood
of water pouring in on them. The ex-
tent of their injuries cannot be ascer-
tanned at present. They were taken to
the hospital. Soon after Walter Gay,
New York agent of the Higganum Manufao
turing company was taken out alive and
sent to the hospital. The dead body of j.
| @, Hill was taken out. The explosion
shattered all the glass in the adjoining
buildings. Its cause is still mystery and
it will take some time to uncover the
boiler.
Persons rescued alive are naturally in a
very exhausted condition, and physicians
refuse to allow them to be interviewed.
One young man, guest, was violently Ill
on account of spree. He had left MIS-
room about midnight, before the disaster,
to 90 to bath room in the annex, and
thus escaped. Workmen are now arrang-
ing electric lights 80 that the work OF res
cue may continue tonight. The fires
which have been raging under the wreck
and causing binding smoke are now under
control. j. M. Allen, president of the
Steam Boiler Insurance company and ar
expert on boiler explosions, will not &C
cept the explosion theory till there Is more
definite evidence, which cannot be hac
until the boiler is reached. The engineer
is dead and nothing can be learned iron
him.
At 2:45 p. m. the dead bodies of Mr.
and Mrs. Bronson were taken from TN
ruins.
Up to O'Clock sixteen bodies have BEEF
recovered from the ruins-eight dead an
eight still alive Mrs. Ketchum, wife Q
the proprietor, it is thought will not SUI
vive. She is suffering from severe trat
ture of the spine.
