Market and Main streets. Charles ha
been receiving refrigerator boxes fillee
with choice meats and ribs from For
Worth or Kansas City packing houses
1t has been his usual custom to leave
these boxes remein on the sidewalk IL
front of his market. This morning ii
robbed of part of its contents. The
theft was traced to four newsboys about
twelve years old. Officers Rice and
Shelley arrested the boys and they
owned to stealing the ribs and selling
them to a restaurant. The boys were
made to return the money obtained in
payment for the stolen ribs and return
the ribs TO Mr.. Williams market, after
which they were locked up to answer the
charge of theft.
ANOTHER FIRE.
Fires are again becoming numerous.
but this time they appear to have their
origin from ordinary causes. About 2
O'Clock this morning the drug store Of
Theodore Huffman. situated on the
corner OF Ervay street and the Central
railroad was consumed by fire. The
stock and fixtures were valued at $4,000,
and were insured for $4,000 in the Phoenix
and Connecticut insurance companies.
The building was one-story frame, and
valued at $1,000, insured for 5000 in the
Security company of New Haven, and
was the property of DR.. Schiff.
OFFENSIVE BOYS.
The passengers at the Texas and
Pacific brick depot have OF late been
greatly annoyed by the impertinence of
the newsboys and bootblscks that con-
gregate on the arrival of trains, until the
officers made up their minds to stop the
matter. This morning one of the worst
of the bunch was arrested aud in the
police court was fined good sum. This
Will probably help the matter, but other
arrests will be made as necessary.
TROUBLE AT HOME.
This morning John Morrison, a con-
tractor, was up in the police court to
answer the charge OF assault and battery
on his brother-in-la George Marshal.
The whole matter was a family affair,
and the trouble is one which had its in
direct origin long ago. Mr.. and Mrs.
Morrison had nice and comfortable
home in this city. About two years ago
Mrs. Morrison had q widowed lister in
this city, who was not on friendly terms
with Mr.. Morrison, aud for long time
this sister was not allowed in the Morri-
son house. This sister went west to
California or Mexico. After arriving at
her new home she wrote to her sister,
Mrs. Morrison, and persuaded her to
come to her.
Mrs. Morrison on one day during her
husband s absence sold all the furniture
she could from out of the house, and
when MIR. Morrison returned home he
found his wife gone with both their chill
dren. MIR. Morrison accepted the situa-
ton like man and attended strictly to
business. At last the wife wanted to
COINS back, and after time and through
the intervention of faiends Mr.. MORRISON
sent his wife money to return on and she
came back to Dallas. This was, per-
haps, two years ago, and from that time
until about three weeks ago all went
well at the Morrison home, when who
should appear upon the scene but. the
sister, who had married again. and with
her husband, Mr.. George Marshal. Mr..
and Mrs. Marsha! went to the Morrison 8
home and then the fun began: Mr..
Morrison gave them written notice to
cave his house, but these notices were
Words followed and Mar
'hal hit Morrison over the head with a
zane knocking him down and in
iicting q painful cut. This
ook place on the street near
he Morrison residence. Mrs. Morrison
wanted her husband arrested, and she
md Mrs. Marshall "sat down. on Mr..
iorrlson while Marshall went after a |
policeman. Mr.. Morrison was arrested, |
nut was soon released OH bond, and this |
morning was cleared in the court. Mr.. |
iorrison is well-iiked IN this city, and it |
) the general opinion that the sistsr-in-
aw is at the bottom of the whole mis-
hief. Since the night of the fuss Mr..
iorrison has not remained at home,
'hile the Marshalls have held the fort at
be Morrisons' residence as the guests of
lrs. Morrison.
