The theory of suicide, in the case of
the murder of Rcinaker at Braceville
a week ago, is exploded by the latest
discoveries. 1t is shown that after
ReinaXr was shot and fled from the
house Toward the shaft he dropped
down helpless, and afterwards in the
night his body was dragged by two
persons, as the tracks show, to the
shaft and thrown in. There is appa-
rently little doubt as to who the two
persons were. and strong hopes are
entertained of their arrest.

Will Hear DrOp.

Some La Sale fellows will hear
something drop in their neighborhood
one Of these days, and when the drop
comes it will be more painful than
noisy. They have a fashion down
there of telling the officer who serves
subppnas on them to appear as wit
nesses in criminal cases to 90 to sheol
with their subppnas, or they will ap-
pear in court ''if they feel like it," or
give point blank refusal to appear.
There was case sin the County
Court yesterday, the material witness
in which, when summoned, said he
wouldn't come up; and when the case
was called yesterday he did not APP
pear. 1t happened that the defendant
plead guilty, and the services of the
witness were not needed. Had they
been, the case would have had to be
continued.
Both the court Judge Snyder and
Prosecutor Blake are getting thorough
ly tired of this sort of thing, and,
though they will probably let the
offender of yesterday off easily, they
have notified the officer at La Sale
that the next man who treats his sub
pOena with contempt will be sent for
by the court, and handled when he
gets here without gloves.

but 'Karporama "a picture of the

tistic skill. The visitor who attends the
Palace to see crazy quilts, lace handker-
chiefs, embroidery, threshing machines,

| these articles conspicuous only by their

will find represented by beautiful pic

of the soil is treated IN the same manner,
and when finished the whole Palace pre-
sents more the appearance of scene

products of the earth.
In addition to this the threshed grains
and other products are presented by
samples in show cases, on shelves and in
glass jars, neatly arranged for exhibit

The birds of the state are there, treated
by the Taxidermist 3 art, and the fishes

song birds by the hundreds, whose voices
fill the building with sweet notes, attest
ing their appreciation of the beautiful
scene that surrounds them. Il were

PARI&s

A Musical Treat-A Good Butter Story-Beaten
by Brakeman-Excursion.
Special to the Gazette,
PARIS, TEX April 6.-The richest
musical treat that the people Of Paris
have had in many day was given at the
of Mrs. Julia ould-SIebert. The con-
cert consisted of selections from we'll
known operas, which were more admira-
bly, rendered by our home talent than by
any of the opera companies that have
appeared here. The opera house was
crowded with the elite of the city, and
the audience showed its appreciation by
its hearty and almost continuous ap-
plause. Paris contains more musical
talent than any city, large or small, in
the state.
Mr.. J. B. Jeter of Grant, 1. T., who
is visiting in the city, relates a wonderful
story in regard to some old butter. The
wife of the man who had charge of the
old Koonsha academy, near Grant, was
before the war in the habit Of burylng
butter in the garden in an earthen jar to
keep it fresh. When the war came up
the family moved away and the fence all
rotted down. This year Rev. ]. P.
Gibbons moved on the place and enclosed
the old garden. While blowing it up re-
Gently he turned up the old jar Of butter.
It was perfectly fresh and sweet except
on one side where the jar was defaced.
About II 'clock last night man Civ
ing his name as w. 2. Lusby, and hail.
ing from near Sulphur Springs, was bad
Iy beaten about the head by brakeman
in the caboose of a freight train. LusbY
says he paid the conductor rs to carry
him to Texarkana, and went in the ca
boOse and laid down. Soon after
brakeman came in and began to abuse
him for lying on his bedding. Lusby I'M
dertook to explain, when the brakeman
struck him on the head with his lantern,
cutting several ugly gashes. Lusby did
not know either the brakeman or the
conductor.
