From his story it appears that Miles
West, deceased, had been too attentive
to Colbert's wife over the protests of the
latter. About midnight, as Colbert was
returning to his home he heard the
screams of his wife, and hurryiug on
met the deceased riding horseback with
Colbert's brother iu-law behind him.
Colbert stopped them, told his brother
in-law to sit still, and fired two loads of
buck shot into deceased, killing him in
stantly. The killing was about $50 yards
from the Austin and Washington county
line, in the former. The prisoner will
be tried here.

that is often asked here and by citizens
OF the different towns on the line OF the

restless people of this section, and there
is quite little "kicking' being done

Fort Worth intends to carry out the pro-
gramme mapped out and promised by
her leading citizens at the Bowie couven-
ton, it is high time she was doing it. -
Others say: elf nothing is done by Fort
Worth in the way of furnishing good
exhibit hail or building on the ground
floor, in a good location on Main street
or near the Union depot, they will see
what can be done in the way of estab-
fishing headquarters at some other point
in the state.
1t would be well enough for those
who are directly interested in the build

the people of Northwest Texas are not
to turn up. They CANT made that

something new occasionally. and If they
