THE RAILROADS.
Why Fort Worth is q Great Railroad
Distributing Point.
What an Fl Pasoan Thinks Gould Was in
Texas FOr-Interesting Railroad Items
from all Po!nts-Notes.

The importance of Fort Worth as a
railroad center, and the number of rail-
roads now completed TO this point, to-
gether with those building and in con-
temptation, is what brought about the
determination of 3 certain powerful
railroad magnate to make this city the
distributing point for one Of the greatest
system of railroads in the United States.
The map as it is now drawn shows that
Fort Worth has eleven outlets by rail,
furnished by the Texas and Pacific, the
Hut, Colorado and Santa Fs, the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas, the Houston
and Texas Central, the Fort Worth
sna Rio Grande, the Cotton Belt,
ina Iranscontinental, Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe, and the Fort Worth and
Denver, now a part of the Union
facltic system. Besides these, the Fort
Worth and Albuquerque road is now
Oeing built, tn grade having been COM
peted nine miles to the northwest; the.
Missouri, Kansas and Texas will build
another line from Sherman to this city
Ahd the Chicago, Rock Island and
faelho, now completed fifteen miles
south OF the Canadian river, in the
indian Territory, Is headed for this
POINT. The st. Louis and San Fran
cisco road, now built into Paris,
VIII also be extended to this
POINT, and company is now
organized and at work to extend the Lit
lie Rock and Memphis road to Fort
Tex.
Thus il will be seen that with those
roads now built and in operation, those
oeing built and those that will be ex-
tenoed TO Fort Worth within two years,
rus city will have no less than sixteen
outlets by rail, more than any other city
u the state can possibly expect in the
ueAt ten years. 1t is no wonder then
mat Fort Worth has been determined on
as the great distributing point for Texas
and Mexico.
Movements are now on foot, but which
ate being conducted very quietly
,t VIII make public in q short time
mat which will convince all men of
'ne supremacy Of Fort Worth in the
'allroRd world in the Southwest.
Eleven outlets to-day, all but two of
y winch are trunk lines; the twelfth
g,uilidlng, and four more to be built in
cue OF two years, is what Fort Worth

Some time since, during severe storm here, I
lost fifteen head of valuable Merino sheep, of
imported stock. They were nearly all bull sheep
at that. They were killed by hail stoneE, and
in very close proximity to the Texas and Pacific
railway track. Now, I wish to know if cannot

sheep, they having been killed on their right of
way, so TO speak.

1t is not to be supposed for an instant
that a sheepman ever wrote the above,

Viewed on his return from the West and
he, Jim Wilson of the Alton and Sam
Hunt of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas

whether the railroad or the Almighty is
responsible for the death of the sheep.

Capt. Means Funeral Additional Particulars
concerning the killing.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, May 9.-The re-
mains of Capt. Joe Means, proprietor of
the daily Hesperisn of this city. and who
was shot and killed by Charlie Ball, last
night, were inferred in the cemetery this
afternoon. The funeral was the largest
ever seen in Gainesville. The particu-
lars of the shooting, as near as could be
ascertained, are about as follows:
About o. clock Mr.. Means left his office
and started west on California street. At
the Register printing Office he encoun-
tered Charlie Ball and Frank Garner. AS
to just what occurred here. accounts diff
fer, some claiming that Means assaulted
Ball, while others say not. But few Sec
onds elapsed after the meeting before
Ball fired, the bullet striking Means in
the heart. He fell upon the sidewalk
and spoke a few words to friends who
reached him Immediately expiring in
about five minutes. Ball walked away,
but was arrested before he had gone
BLOCK and looked in jail. Garner, his
brother-in law, was arrested at later
hour and also placed in jail. The diff
Guilty is said TO have had its origin IN some
family trouble. Ball is nephew of
Mrs. Means, and his sister, Mrs. Gar
ner, is a niece. The marriage of Gar
ner and Miss Ball was opposed
by Means, and brought about some un
friendliness, which has existed ever
since. The grand jury is in session, and
have been investigating the shooting all
day. The town is still excited over the
occurrence, which is deeply deplored .sa.,

These comparisons are the more surprising
when we consider that only three years ago it
was the commonly accepted theory that this
state and Dakota were too far north to success
fully engage in stockraising, and therefore it
was doubtful If livestock market could be es-
ing of these comparative statements may be
grasped by the mind let us recapitulate. In the
first two wears of its existence this market has
consumed more hogs than the Kansas City mar
ket did in the first four years. more sheep than
the Kansas City market did in the first seven
years, while in cattle this market win end its
third year on par with that market at the end
of its third year. An Of which seems to indicate
that the growth OF this business at St. Paul is
destined to possibly eclipse the splendid history
of the Kansas City yards, which in 1855 (the last

istence handled SOC, 627 csttle, !, 35S, us hogs

Many interesting facts have been developed in
connection with the enterprise. The theory
that this climate is peculiarly conducive to
health in animals and consequent Development
has received confirmation. One Of the first en-
terprises entered upon by the stockyards COM
pAny was the building of large barn capable of
feeding $500 head of cattle. This barn remained
idle for more than a year, and it began to look
as though it was q failure. But at length in
connection with the distillegy, il was utilized
with great success and most satisfactory results.
