carefully over the ground and ascertain
whether they existed in fact or only on
paper. / am more than satisfied with
the result of my Investigations and be-
lieve that Irona 10 destined to become a
great centre of business and wealth. I
lind many advantages at Irons that the
places have mentioned did not possess
at the start, viz: better water, timber in
abundance, fine rolling land, beautiful
site for residence and all the conditions
conducive to health. There il absolutely
no sickness there at all. The mineral
deposits are not as extensive as at Harri-
man, but judge there is sufficient ore TO
keep five l00-tOn furnaces in operation
at least 100 years, and am informed by
the geologist who tested the ores that
they are not surpassed in any other sec
ton of our country for intrinsic worth
and they will require no washing, which
is big Item of saving.
There are no railroads built to this
point yet, but 1 have reliable intorma-
ton that at least one road will be built
soon.
The Sabine river, navirable nearly the
entire year, runs by this tract and its
banks formed of a sandstone deposit is a
security against overflow. With deep
harbors built on the Texas coast, Irona
will have a direct line of transport
tation for foreign shipments. At Sabine
Parish, La, which is just opposite Irona
and Sabine county, Tex, local option
prevails and the new town will start out
with prohibition plank on her little
deeds. Next to Birmingham 1 consider
Irona to possess the most favorable pros
poets for profitable investment have yet
met with in my large experience, and
have shown my faith by subscribing for
stock. -
The grounds were beautifully illumi-
mated and the children romped and
played on the lawn to their hearts con-
tent. The proceeds of the festival will
add about So to their funds.
Since the date of the above interview
the entire property-Irona town site
and mineral lands-has been purchas d
by the Sabine land and mining company
which has recently been organized with
an authorized capital of $500 900. Share:
are S2500 each, limited amount being
preferred stock, which will be received
by the company in payment of lots oil
lands at an advance of % per cent. above
its cost; that is, 500 worth of stock will

A FINISH FIGHT.
Famous rugiIists to Meet In Fort wort
Ere Long-Thay are Heavy
weights.

Yerterday a prominent Fort Worth
sporting man received communication
from Denver in which the writer desires
to know whether it would be possible to
arrange match in this city between
Mike Conley, the Ithaca giant, and
Billy Woods of Denver. The Ithaca
giant ia now in Fort Worth. The fol-
lowing clipped from the Denver News OF
August has the appearance of chal-
lenge, and will. no doubt be met half
way by Conley:
Since Mike Conley has left the city
without meeting Billy Woods in a finish
glove contest, the sporting fraternity
have been at loss how to amuse them
selves and have had little to talk about,
except condemn Conley for his going
away after his trainer had Issued chal-
lenge to meet Woods in go. He was
guaranteed protection and fair show.
He made move to Fort Worth to shine
on the variety stage as q pugilstio star
and meet all corners.
Clark, Conley's trainer called at the
News office before leaving and said that
Conley would fight Woods in any club
room for a good purse, and said he had
written the Southern club at New Or
leans to see if it would offer the two a
purse. He remarked If q fight could be
arranged at Fort Worth Couley would be
willing to meet Woods there. A News
reporter saw John Glow last night and
asked him if he would go to Fort Worth
and take Woods to fight Conley. He
said he would be glad TO do so If good
purse was guaranteed which would be
enough to guarantee the expenses
of training and the trip. Now, If
Clark and his man ConleY are so anxious
to meet Woods on neutral grounds in
fight to finish he can possibly arrange
for one while he is in Fort Worth. If
anything reasonable is offered for such
go Glow aud Woods will meet them in
that CITY and the lovers of the manly at
Fort Worth will have an opportunity of
seeing as good a fight as it has been their
luck to see. Arrangements or CORES
pondence that Clark may desire to make
with John Glow for fight at Fort Worth
between Conley and Woods can be made
through the News sporting department.

An Unruly Negro Gagged.
Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE, TEX, Aug. Pistol shots
were heard in abundance at an early
hour last night in the vicinity of the
calaboose, which congregated quite a
crowd, which found that the racket was
caused by Policeman Jim Yeiser trying
to land q burly negro in the city cooler.
As the calaboose was reached the negro
made a break for liberty, whereupon
Yeiser shot at him several times, missing
his aim, but bringing the negro to a
sudden halt in the corner of the court
house fence, where Yeiser administered
several blows with his revolver which
had very telling effect, after which
the negro was housed very easily and
now lies in the calaboose, being done up
in govd shape about his head.

when married or moved there soon after
marriage. The two persons died leaving
an only son, James o. Murphy. Several
years ago James o. Murphy died, with
out issue, leaving an estate worth about
$4,000.
1t now turns out that number of per-
sons in this communitY-some Of the
Braswell and Harden families-cailn to
be first cousins to MurpiIy, whose estate
descends to his nearest relatives,
There is one old lady in Franklin coun-

The attorneys here are Messrs. r. II.
