Brownwood,s Situation.

1t is possibly the purpose of the Fort
Worth aud RIO Graude company to push
the road through towards Liano as early
ae possible, and then in the future to
build from Comanche in this direction.
Had Brownwood promptly accepted the
roads proposition, this part of the road
would have been built first and the
Llano extension deferred for a while.
While we would much have preferred
the building of this road now. it is GER
tainly only a question of time until it
will be butt to this plan, and we see
nothing disCouraging III the present
situation.
II seems to US that the better place
would be to go ahead aud get up the bal
ance of the subsidy asked By the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande and offer 1t to
that road on condition that they will
come here within the specified time. If
IL Is not accepted, that much encourage
ment would perhaps induce the Thurbsr
road TO build here, and We would then
have equally rs good connection as the
Fort Worth and Rio Grsude would give
US. Brentwood eds an Eastern out
let and will not be long in attracting
some road that will give us the relief We
want Brownwood Bulletin.

talked With a number of men employed

All the Cattle Out of the Nation, to the Re-

Special to the Gazette.
HAROLD, Ten, Dec. 14.-There is
considerable interest manifested here
now in the moving of cattle from the In
dian Territory to the Texas side of the
river. The cattlemen report tina. all
their cattle are out of the Nation now
aud browsing on the grassy prairies of
Texas. They leave the Nation with re-
greet, both on the part of the men who
own the cattle and the noble redmau,
who eat them aud receive their lease
money for their pasturage. The Indians
will miss their friends, the cattlemen,
and openly even in the face Of the COM
mission who recently bad a pow-wow
with them at their agency, say they
want the cattle kept in the country
Quauah Parker and sll the other chiefs
are very much put out at the action of
their great father at Washington in
driving out the cattlemen. Mr.. W. T.
Waggoner, the manager of the firm of
D. Waggousr s. Sou, the largest cattle
owners in this section OF the state.
said in conversation last night
that he was out of the Nation,
that this lease business had cost him Lots
of money. for he paid the Indians over
$50 600 year in cash aud suffered many
thousand dollars loss escn year by having
his cattle uulawfuily killed aud used by
the Indians. This firm has, however,
reduced their stock to such an extent
that they have ample room on this side

DALLAS.

Another Franchise for the Elm Street Cable
Rosd-sam Jones Lectures Gamblers Hot.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Dec. 1.-THE Dallas
city council held long session last night
and large volume of business was dis
posed of. The only matter, however /,
before the body was the granting of A e.
w. Childress and others the franchise to
onstruct a cable road on Elm street in
lieu Of the franchise given to the Pacific
cable construction company, whose time
was out. that company having done
nothing. The new company is composed
OF Dallas men. They are to begin work
By February 10 and have the road tin
ished by August 81, 1891. 1t is now
more than probable that the road Will be
built IS the gentlemen of the company
are all leading Dallas business men. The
building of this line will greatly benefit
Elm street property, and it is honed by
all that the line will at once be built.
Rev. Sam Jones arrived in Dallas from
Sherman to-day and this afternoon leo
tursd at the opera house under the aus
pieces of the Young Men 8 Christian asso-
citation. The lecture was free and for
men only. Long before the hour for the
lecture to begin the house was filled to
its utmost, even TO standing room. This
was Mr.. Jones' first appearance before
Dallas audience except when he lectured
here and an admission was charged.
Everyone appeared pleased with the
grea: evangelist and an effort is being
put forth to have him hold q series of
meetings in this city, and, Mr.. Jones'
word for it. he is needed here more than
in any other city in Texas. If he should
conclude to come here and hold series
of meetings he would have n larger at
tendance than has ever yet greeted him
in Texas.
Some gamblers are hot over the re-
cent raid on the keno room in this city
and some of them make bold to say
that they will use money to any SUN in
order TO help close every gambling he'll
in Dallas. They appeal to the church
people to start the ball and they will
keep it going. They intend to 90 before
the next grand jury and make it inter-
esting for the unmolested gamblers in
Town. There will probably be very
interesting time among the gang before
long. Some of tho officers say they
know faro rooms are running, but they
can never catch the game going on.

About $3.50 this afternoon q small

The building was of little value aud

colored families occupied the house.
At 6:t5 this evening the fire depart
ment turned out and extinguished fire
in Bartlett Il Bro. g livery stable, on
Commerce street, next to the ST. George
hotel. 1t is supposed that one OF the
neeroes employed about the stable
dropped cigarette stump among some
hay, thereby ignlting it. The fire did
but little damage. being confined to the
hay, and was put out promptly.

The Pecos Wiley Eoed.

Mr.. L. B. Smith. of Eddy, New Mex
leo, was in Fort Worth yesterday. and is
brim full of cheering news from the Pc
cos Valley country. Mr.. Smith is extern
sively engaged in mining aud stock
raising, and evidently takes considera BILE
interest in the new Pecos Valley road,
now nearly completed to Eddy. When
asked about the new road Nj. Smith re-
piled by saving ii would be finished and
in operation TO Eddy by Christmas. he
did not give much weight to the pub
lished statements that the Pecos Valley
had been sold to the Santa Fe. He had,
however, 10 positive knowledge to the
contrary, and was inclined to look upon
General Manager Judy's visit to the East
as possibly having something 10 do with
the rumored sale. Mr.. Smith believes
the Pecos Valley will become wonder
full agricultural region, and says Il great
many farmers are locating in the fertile
lands.
