Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
HALLETTsvILLE, TEX, Aug. Our
city has not yet recovered from the shock
of yesterday evenings tragedy. II vas
one of those sad, unfortunate occurrences
that only the Intervention OF Divine
Providence eau prevent.
Our entire city is in mourning, and as
these lines are being penned the church
bells are tolling for the funeral march of
one who but a few hours ago was among
us in all the yigor OF youth aud
manhood. Amid the excitement yes
terday evening, while the crowd was
gathering around the bloody remains OF
Officer Stubbs, his young wife and three
small children rushed upon the scene,
and what took piucs may be better
imagined than described. Sturdy men
wiped tears from their eyes and turned
their faces from the agonized scene with
q sigh.
But few feet distant, his precious life
blood flowing over the pavement, lay
James Tucker surrounded by his weep
ing wife ana children. Mr.. Tucker is
still alive, but cannot live much longer.
Four bullets took effect in the lower
portion of his body, piercing his secular
organs and shatterlng both of his legs.
MIR. Stubs was shot through the head,
and death was so instantaneous that he
was frozen to the spot and died on his
feet.
The shooting occurred at the Elsterer
Rocks saloon. Mr.. Stubs was con-
stable of Precinct No. /, and was
q candidate for sheriff. MIR. Tucker Is
his brOther-in-law. Budd Kelly and John
SmOothers, Jr., the slayers, are
brothers. in-law. Mr.. Stubs was ex-
pectin z to be killed, the slayers having
iutimated their intention of killing him
the first chance. They came TO
town yesterday, and Stubs knew
1t, and knowing they would at
tempt TO kill him, he told his
brother-in-lawt to arm himself, which he
did. Stubs was walking by the saloon
when, il seems, Kelley said: 81 would
like to see any - -
arrest me-" AS he said this Stubs
walked towards him, and as he
did shot from within the building
sent him to eternity. Shooting then be-
gan in earnest, and about twenty shots
were fired and Tucker attempted to as
sist Stubs and the other two brothers.
in-law held together.
Several years ago Stubs killed Bob
Kelly, but was cleared on the plea of
self-defense, and it is thought this old
feud resulted in yesterdays tragedy.
Smoothers and Kelly are in jail. The
coroner's inquest is still in progress.
The remains of Mr.. Stubs are just
being laid in the cemetery.
The grand jury is in session and will
take the matter in hand. Both sides are
well connected and feeling runs high.

private house by Sheriff Scott. crowd
of 500 citizens demanded the prisoner OF
Scott. He refused to give him up, when
a search was commenced and he was
soon found and brought out and carried

Gazette.
Editor Gazette.
Referring to the above item which 1
clip from yesterday S GAZETTE, you are
right in saving that "Texas roads can do
just as much for this state If they will
put on the right kind of passenger
rates.
The Northern Pacific and other North
west railroads have for years past made
a speciality of the immigration business.
They have advertised literally both in old
states and Europe, paid liberal conn mis-
sions to all ticket and immigration
agents, made low rates, dealt out free
passes to those who could influence home
seekers, taken good care of the press IN
the way of giving editors and others con-
nected with the press free transportation
aud made rates so low that people could
afford 10 take a trip TO look at their
country. In addition TO all this a spe-
cial low rate was and is made on household
goods, stock and immigrant moveables in
general and where the home seekers pur-
chase land from the railroad company
they are refunded the amount paid for
freight on household goods, etc. When
the railroads of Texas secure people they
will meet this competition and when
they do they Will secure their share of
the business aud not before. The great

ave want freight and must have it.
The passenger and immigrant business
is small matter not worthy of much at
tentlon, says the traffic manager of
Texas. Let me ask you, Mr.. Editor,
and the Texas trnffic manager, how are
you going to have an increase in freight
without having an increase in population3
1t takes people TO produce freight. The
wild and unimproved land is not going to
produce revenue for railroad, or build
up cities unless you secure people to set
tie on 1t. The Northwestern and West
ern railroads have always recognized this
fact and acted accordingly, making 1t
rule TO use every effort possible to secure
people to settle on their respective lines.
There Is plenty of freight to haul for
those roads that have taken care OF and
secured the Imam with the hoe.
have heard general managers of Western
and Northwestern railroads say
to their general passenger and
immigration agents time and again
"secure the people regardless of rates or
expense. We must have people before
we can look for or expect freight.
Get the people if you have to haul
them Free "The little money we get
from hauling the people is second con-
siderstion; once they are located on the
line they will contribute to the support
of the road
Yes, Mr.. Editor, this Is the kind of
railroad policy we will have to have in
Texas before we get the "waste places
settled up, and the railroads get all the
freight they can haul.
In short, If our railroads mean BUSH
ness and want freight they will first get
the people. This they can do when they
want to. What roads in the West and
Northwest have done and are doing can
be repeated by the Texas roads if the
managers wish it.
Printer g ink, samples of the products
of the earth, placed where the people
can see them, with low rates for home
seekers, will give Texas railroads all the
freights they can haul as we'll as q good
local passenger travel. Railroads run
ming through new states or territories
that don't make specially of securing
immigration are not going to be able TO
keep up with those that do, aud it is
plain to all that most of our Texas roads
have been paving but little attention to
this important work for some years past.
What can the peop pie of Texas do TO in
duce the managers of our large lines to
interest themselves in the immigration
work? is question often asked by many
progressive citizens of Texas. Won't
some of the railroad officials answer this
question? EX-RAILROADER.

MOST REVOLVING.
The Crime Charged Against Polly Parksr's
Pafamour.

The Crime Charged Against Polly Parker's
ParamOur.
On the road leading to the city ceme-
| terry are camped number of bridge men
recently employed on the construction
| of the Albuquerque road. Yesterday
| one of them (whose name is withheld at
his own request) came up town TO the
office of County Attorney Ben Ayres and
told story which, upon being followed
| up, revealed one of the most revolving
| cases of human bestiality that has ever
come to light In Texas.
When Mr.. Ayres had grasped the
point of the narrative he notified Sheriff
Richardson, who, with Deputies Elliott
| and Witcher, proceeded to work the
case up. Going to the place occupied by
the relator of the story they found girl
of eleven years of age named Stella
KuchIer, whom they Intercepted. Her
story is to the following effect:
She Is an orphan, and has lived in
Fort Worth for several years with differ
ent people. Last spring she met q wo-
man named Polly Parker who induced
her to go to live with her. Polly lived
with Mexican named Ignacio Lucatero
just beyond the bridge near the water
works. She met young man who took
her driving and who while on the south
OF the city ravished her. She returned
to Polly Parker who forced her by
threats TO submI: to the lust of Polly's
parsmour, Lucatero.
When Sheriff Richardson heard this
frightful story from one so young he was
impressed with the child g veracity, and
set about finding the mlscreauts who had
SO maltreated her. Stella had been given
refuge and home by kindly woman,
the wife OF the man who had first in
formed County Attorney Ayrss. She
said she knew the Mexican by sight and
where he lived. She told the sheriff
where to drive, and they proceeded
10 the old dairy just beyond the
bridge. The sheriff called for those
within to come out. Two Mexicaus, te-
male makers, emerged. The little girl
pointed to Ignaeio Lueatero, and he was
taken in charge by the sheriff 3 posse, as
also was Polly Parker, as accessory. The
pair were put in the county Jail.
Stella Kucbler was taken to Justice
Meetings. office, where she made full
statement as above, with full details.
Then she was taken to a doctor.
She was suffering overwhelmingly from
q nameless disease.
After being treated she returned to her
benefactress.
Polly Parker and Lucatsro were seen
in the county jail after their arrest.
Polly Is about twenty-thrss years Of age,

dirty and greasy looking, with a low
forehead denoting NOT superabundanoe
OF intellectual gifts. She said that
Stella had run away from her mother q
few weeks ago, and she polly had
given her shelter; that after she had
been there few days she went voluntar-
lily to the Mexicans, about dozen OF
whom were Intimate with her. Polly
does not impress ous as being truthful
always.
Lucatero gave the reporter very littls
satisfaction. He could sp ak but little
English. Me no comprahn, - etc.
The officers have the name of the man
who first lead little Stella Kuchler astray

now in the hands of his lawyers, that
there was ground for damage suit, and
he had been advised by friends to make
no statement. The lecture was on Thack-
