OF Tony Bruhn's Building-He Dies Last
Night 1t 1880.

Hetzel p. Smith, a carpenter employed
as foreman at the building being con-
structed on North Markedly Tony Bruhn,
yesterday met with an accident which will
no doubt result in his death.
He was placing planks upon the fourth
story of the structure and stepping upon a
board, the end of which was not resting
upon joist, it tipped and he fell down,
down to the first floor distance of fully
fifty feet
Workmen who saw the accident hast
ened TO his assistance and found him COW
cred with blood and insensible. He was
taken up and placed in conveyance and
removed to st. Frances hospital.
An examination showed that he
had suffered fracture of the
upper jaw and double fracture of the
lower jaw, had received bad cut at the
base of the brain, severe bruises over the
body and sn internal hemorrhage of the
chest. The last named injury is most Sc
we're and it is that the doccors say, will
cause his death.
At the request of the injured:man's wife
be was about to be removed to their home,
No. 2008 South Fourth avenue. and a
wagon was driven up to the hospital for
that purpose, but the physicians reconsid-
cred the matter and refused to have him
removed.
LATER
The injured man died last night at 10:15
at the hospital surrounded by his family.
He never regained consciousness after the
accident. No arrangements have as nyet
been made for the funeral.
Mr.. Smith was a well known carpenter
of the city and has built quite number of
houses here. He formerly lived in very
fine residence on South Main but several
years ago, becoming involved, gave up to
take the present home of his family on
South Fourth. He was about so years of
age and leaves wife and three children.

CHICAGO, March 2O.-A dispatch from

Crouch county yesterday as an outrage
and say they will notify the United States
at ualorities that if they do not furnish
the protection demanded the boomers
will take it into their own hands
and wreak summary vengeance on the
soldiers. The former are generally well
provided with Winchesters and arms OF
the latest approved pattern, with plenty
of ammunition. There are many reckless

authorities here fear that there will bt
bloodshed before the row is over.
In view of the unexpected and threaten

is matter of much discussion

DALLAS, March 20.-A row occurred in
the south end of the CITY near the Alliance
exchange last night, in which Charles
Perry, carriage washer at Clark &
Cabel's livery stable, received probably
his death wound. Four parties have been
arrested charged with implication one
way or another in she bloody deed. They
are j. A. Johnson, Joseph Goams, G. W.
Smith and a party by the name OF
Mcmillan. johnson was arrested about
O'Clock this morning by Policeman Des.

near the Arlington hotel. Smith, who
had been arrested previously, "6quealed'

policeman by the night watchman at tn;
theater. His shirt was bloody
The cuffs appeared to have
been dipped in blood, and ii
his pocket was discovered handkerchief

sidered the least guilty of the three, and
it met with the approval of the whole
community when her case was not pressed
and she was set at liberty.
The trial of Mr.. Gus Smith, ,on the charge
of murder, was next taken up. The first
venire of sixty men was exhausted
and only five jurors accepted. A
full jury was, however, obtained out of
the next venire, and at O'Clock taking of
testimony began. On account of the
prominence of Mr.. Smith and Judge
Campbell, whom he killed, the trial has
excited an absorbing interest. Mr.. Smith
is one of this most affable gentlemen in
the whole community, and in conducting
one of the largest concerns in this city for
years has never incurred the displeasure
of anyone. He has the sympathy of a
large portion of the community, and has
for his advocates some of the ablest at
torneys at the bar. In addition to the
attorneys vino reside here, Hon. W. P Nc
Lean is retained for the defense, and
Colonel Hodges, of Paris, for the prose
cution. The case will be taken up again
tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. 1t will
no doubt consume the whole week.

road President Says.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, March 21.-Mr. Thos. H. Wilson,
president of the Texas Grand Trunk Rail
way company, seys: eff the Lane bill,
now before the house, becomes a law, it
will undoubtedly not only retard further
extension of present railroads in Texas,
but absolutely stop any further effort in
new enterprises, because no existing road
can earn even its working expenses on
the rates in the proposed legislation. The
ordinary working expenses of road with
ordinary grades, such as the Cotton Belt,
the Missouri Pacific, Houston and Texas
Central cannot be operated for less than
81 per cent on the gross receipts. At the
present rates legally permitted a change
to the figures quoted in the Lane bill will
scarcely equal moving expenses. In view
of the inability to pay interest on bonds
without mention of a stock dividend this
bill will place every Texas road beyond
recovery. A large syndicate of New York
capitalists, intending to build the Texas
Grand Trunk railroad across the entire
central and southwest portion of Texas, in
total 1854 miles, will immediately withdraw
from the project if the present Lane bill
becomes law.

franchise to j. D. Bell, the proprietor O.

TExARKANA, Tex, March 20.-District
court has been engaged this entire day in
the trial of Emma Logan, colored
woman charged with participating in the
murder of Mccarthy, while in the Gala
boose last December. The chief
actor in the tragedy was convicted
yesterday, and sire nuous efforts
were used to shield the woman
from the same fate. che had the benefit
of the very best counsel, and sympathy
for the poor creature ran very high. She
is bright young woman who is said to be
a widow. She is the mother of two
children, both small. The details
of the horrible murder are sicken-
ing and the testimony too conclusive
to afford her chance to escape severe
punishment After able speeches for and
against the accused, and the charge of the
Judge, the jury retired at 6 O'Clock, and
after remaining out about one hour re-
turned a verdict of guilty of murder in
the second degree, with twenty-five years
in the penitentiary. Emma Logan's hus-
band, like Logan, was sent to the pen
from Paris in 1885, on the charge OF
forgery, and died within a year of the
expiration of his sentence.

der by President A. F. Wheeler in the
chair. President Wheeler made short
address in which he stated that while the
association was not as large as it should
be yet it had been the means of securing
great benefits not only to its members
but to the cattlemen of the state at large.
Not single case of loss by theft had been
reported during the past year.
The principal questions before the asso-
citation were the best methods of feeding
and taking care of stock through the
winter, securing cheap rates for shipping
and good market and fair treatment at
the nands of eastern buyers.
The reports of Secretary W. E. Hall and
Treasurer w. w. Seley were read and ap.
proved. They showed the finances of the
association in flourishing condition,
with cash balance on hand. The pres
ent method of weighing stock by the car
was discussed. The following resolution
was passed:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that the present System of

mates against loose cattle and we favor its
revision or abolishment. The annual

BURNET, March 21.-Mayor U. R.. Nor
gan, of this place, was found about 2
o'clock p. m. to-day in the attic of the
court house dead, with his throat cut
across the left side, severing the main ar
terry. In his left hand was the razor with
which he had committed thedeed. He was
last seen alive last Tuesday. This morning
his mysterious disappearance led to a
search of all the rooms in the court house
and the discovery of the body. The deed
had evidently been deliberately COM
mitted. His coat, vest, hat and shoes
had been pulled off and his head
rested on one of the Gross beams that
support the ceiling of the court room be-
low. The condition of the body indicated
that he probably killed himself late Tues
day afternoon; be was last seen about 4
p. m. on that day. Deceased was a man
of irreproachable character, 80 far as
known here, and was both mayor and JUS
tice of the peace.
His friends cannot suggest motive for
the deed unless it lies previous to his resi-
dence here. He came here from West Vir-
ginia three years ago, was single man
and about 35 years old. His effects were
examined at the inquest this afternoon,
but nothing throwing the least light on
the case was found. The remains will be
buried tomorrow by the Odd Fellows
lodge,
