petition under his arm to the incoming
administration and an attempt will be
made to get all e. A r. men at tn e
NEE ting TO afix their signatures
thereto. As far as can be learned
the Dallas contingent will be COM
posed of: DR.. W. Mackay, candidate
for postmas ter of Dallas; Gen y. G..
Mallov, candidate for United States mar
shall; Mai J. F. Hinson, candidate for
United States marshal; DR.. Cochran,
applicant for the Sandwich Islands mis-
sion; Maj Cottman for collector of inter-
nal revenue. While it is presumed that
these gentlemen viii do their
share of fighting the old
battles over in peaceful
way, they will not forget as they breathe
of the inspiration of the past the ap-
preaching struggles for the spoils of Mr..
Harrison s administration. They will,
it Is believed, break the Apostle Paul S
record for pressing forward to the mark
of the various high callings that are in
sight. Their belief that the Dallas dele
CATION viii mix politics with glory is
caused by DR.. Cochran IS presence in the
delegation. 1t is well known fact that
so far from being Grand Army man,
DR.. Cochran drilled the first company of
Confederate infantry that left Dallas.
Long before Mcclellan IS guns were heard
on the Virginia peninsular Dr.. Cochran s
clarion tones were heard nightly on the
plaza of Dallas calling out TO a band of
brave but undisciplined boys i'll gray:
ebay foot, straw foot, now you we got
the right foot, damn you don It you
lose it, march - And numbers Of
of haired men now living in Dallas
who heard nightly, this monotonous but
glorious refrain cannot see what the doc
tor can have in common with the G.. A.
II people. It is in order for the G.. A.
r people of Fort Worth tomorrow to
get ready for the thorough mIngling of
politics and patriotism, for Dallas is
coming loaded down to the waters edge
with both.
CAMERON GETS FOUR YEARS.
w. D. Cameron, charged with big
amy, was arraigned in the district court
this morning. Both of his wives were
present.
The state proved by the Parker county
records that Walter D. Cameron and
Miss N. O. Williams were married in
Parker county in May, 1877. The Par
ker county lady is wife No. /. 1t was
shown further by the brother of Mrs.
Cameron No. l that the defendant after
leaving her took up his abode at a house
of questionable resort in Fort Worth. He
lodged around promiscuously and then
came to Dallas where Rev. a. P. Smith,
Presbyterian pastor, testified he married
the defendant under the name of w. D.
Campbell, and Miss Dosiell Muller on
August ., 1888. The knot was tied at the
PASTORS residence, and he identified
Mrs. Cameron No. as the alleged Miss
Muller The records of Dallas county
corroborated the witness testimony.
The defense introduced Mrs. Cameron
No. 3, who testified that she had meyer
been married to Walter d. Campbell;
that her name was Mrs. Dora Cameron
and that she was married TO the defend
ant by Rev. A. 2. Smith on the I'd day
of August, 1888. She married defend
ant as Walter d. Cameron and knew
him by no other name. Her maiden
name was Dora Miller and she knew
nothing about Doslell Muller. If the
minister called her Dosiell Muller and
the defendant W. d. Campbell she failed
to notice it; in fact, she did not remem-
Der by what names he did address them.
She didn't know defendant had ever
been married before; he told her nothing
about it.
1u6 uSlGuSS Quiet testimony
IN an attempt to show that it was gener-
ally understood that he had been mar
ried, that his wife was dead, and that it
was under this false impression he was
laboring when he married the second
time.
III half an hour the jury found YER
dict which gave Cameron four years.
