DALLAS, TEXAS, July 81, 1890.
To the San Antonio LIGHT.
Bitter Lager" and "rare old Bour-
bon' are more plentiful in Dallas
just now than pure water. 1t is only
East Dallas that ls-has been-sup-
piled with water half way fit to use.
The East Dallas Ice factory seem to
cantrol East Dallas Water Works. OF
the four factories In the place this is
the only one in operation. 1t can not
supply the demand. It has not the
capacity, and If it had it has not the
water, therefore word is given that
after this month the East Dallas
Works will be done away with. She
must then depend, as Dallas propper
does, upon the Turtle Creek affair
which supplies the city with mix
ture of mud clay and moisture, which
is generally pumped from its reserve
supply, the filthy Trinity.
Chow can Dallas hope to improve
and eclipse other cities in the state
without water?" is question asked
one Of her large land owners-one Of
her 400.
"By being true to her, true to our
selves, and by saying nothing to injure
the place, but everything in her favor.
When We get sufficient wealth in our
midst, then we will find water"
Till then, two-bit wine, ten.cent
whiskey, scent lager.
The question under discussion, de-
batable by the talent of the two
suburbs, Oak Cliff and Fort Worth,
SIS Pendleton, who forsook his wife
and children for a telephone girl, a
meaner man than the black Smiths
son, Payne, who stole his child from
its mothers arms and made her be-
lieve it had been stolen or drowned in
Oak Cliff lake?
Dallas is on the affirmative side OF
the question.
Henry Kimble was overcome by the
heat on Sunday, and died that after
noon. An old lady Is years old, died
also, from the same cause, 1t is sup
posed. She was found against a fence
where she had evidently stopped to
rest-and she found rest.
Ike Spurgeon was found insensible
on Main street, carried to the hospital
where he died later in the day.
Patrick Lynch was found dead on
Elm street near q saloon, and John
Roach was found dead in a black
smiths shop. Both are said to have
been hard drinkers.
Geo. Miller and Jas. Eagan attempt
ed to cross in front of car on Main
street. 1t seems that the car on the
other track escaped their notice. Be-
fore the driver could turn on his
brakes both men had been knocked
known. Miller was pulled from be-
meath the car horribly mangled; both
legs were amputated at the thighs;
he died. Eagan is not dangerously
hurt. No blame is attached to the
driver.
John Kennedy fell from his Car on
all M. X. & T. train near Ross avenue
crossing, crippling his hand and arm
till it is thought he will lose his arm.
What is the matter with the day?
Sunday law is in force in Dallas;
saloons are closed on that day-at
least the fronts are.
On the night of she 18th, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lou Bateman, residing on Elm
street, were awakened by shrek.
Mr.. Bateman jumped out of
bed. Mrs. Bateman, with a mothers
impulse, felt for her child, which
slept in the bed with them. Near an
open window lay the child, while a
strange looking animal was biting its
foot. The beast sprang through the
window. The little one was badly
bitten, lived till Saturday last, when
it died from the poisonous effects of
the bite. Two catamounts have been
killed in that vicinity this summer.
1t is thought this was one.
Emgard, the butcher, has pet
wolf that is docile as a lamb, another
delight of children in the neighbor-
hood. The "greasers" attempted to
capture the wolf-dog, as it had no tag.
The butcher objected. He was order
ed then to pay dog tax, but declined
and defies the mayor and all of
Dallas to touch "Wolfy."
Detectives are trying to ferret out
the mysterious cause of the Could
Merchants exchange and Henderson
fire.
Mayor Connor is granted a months
leave OF absence. He and his family
left yesterday for the coast.
