A GENTLEMAN who has recently re-
turned from Rockport, brings with
him story which needs much cor
roborating testimony to make it go,
especially as it is exceedingly fshy.
He says that a floating skiff was
picked up in the bay there recently
with a corpse Of lone fisherman
who has met his death in peculiar
manner. The mans neck was bro
ken and in the boat was a large fish,
supposed to have come down on the
mans head after one of its leaps
from the water with such force as to
break the mans neck and disable it
from getting out of the boat.

BAGGNG and ties are carried to
the country every day and the mer-
chant smiles because he knows the
farmer is busy gathering the cotton
crop, and that it will only be a few
days until the same bagging and
ties will return clothing bales of the
new crop, which is better IN this
county than many would have you
believe. When the farmer is pros
porous the merchant is happy.

Mr.. U. S. LEWIS, of Dallas, was in
the city yesterday and from him it
was learned that a brakeman at
BellVille, by the name of Mcdonnell,
fell off the cars there Tuesday night
and came near getting killed. 1t
seems that he was working a brake
when whatever he was braced
against broke, throwing him off the
cars on some ties near the track.

Mr.. F. B. Mcdowell, engaged in
the mail service between San An

day to visit old friends here. He got
left and stayed over until Monday
afternoon. Mr. Mcdowell says that
the water spout in Ell Paso last
week did considerable damage, in
Ell Paso and almost washed Jua-
rez away on the opposite side of the
river. In some places in the streets
the water stood three feet deep. 1t
doesn't often rain down there but
when it does, to say that it pours is
putting it mildly.
