A FATAL KNOCKOUT.
One of Kilrain's Party Kills Local
Sparrer in a Texas Town.


DALLAS, Texas, Feb. 14.-At the per-
formance of Kilrain's party in the opera
house last night Tom James of Dallas
Banzia, the combination
champion lightweight, for SIS, condi-
toned that James should stay for
rounds. Banzia had it his way from
the first. In the fourth round Banzia
struck James in the neck, knocking
him limp on the stage. James was un-
able to rise. He was sponged and re-
storatives applied. The show contin-
ued, no one supposing that James was
hurt seriously. When the entertain
ment had about concluded, Muldoon
announced that James was unconscious
and called for physician. James died
at 1890 this morning. Banzia belongs
in Cincinnati and is remarkably hard
hitters. Jane was married two months
ago. He hailed from Kansas City. It
is understood that at the expiration of
the third round last evening James in-
formed his second and friends that he
had had enough and wanted to throw
up the sponge. They hooted at the
idea and urged him on by words of en-
couragement, saying he had "dead
sure thing.n To-day Muldoon paid the
doctors bills, $50, and contributed $100
to defray the funeral expenses. The
remains of James will be shipped to
Denver for interment. KilEain and
party, excepting Banzia, left for New
Orleans at o'clock tonight. He re-
mains to await the coroner's action.
The coroner returned verdict which
exonerated Benzia and he was released.

That is a piece OF advice very
much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take a
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass of port wine. We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, ETC., but all this re-
quires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. 1t is
very well to say, '1save mon
ey" That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on your nee
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you trade by buying cheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings.
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
gwilling to save on your buying
IF you know where to 60.
That's what we are getting at.
We would not waste your time
by offering all this advice with
put having a practical end in
Fiew. If you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail to
visit the large drug and book
house of Saur & Balsley. You
hn not only save big money
Pn the necessary medicines
which your family need at this

two watches is only in the case. The latter is OF

not allow the hands to move out of position
while setting. In the sweep second movement

Do Railroads in Texas Pay.
MIDLAND, Tx. june Is, lsst



Editor Gazette: 49,
Judge A. 7. Watts in his Weatherford
speech is reported to have said that he
was prepared to say that since 1884 not a
single railroad in Texas has paid running
expenses. By being prepared "to say, )"
he must have meant prepared to
"prove," and if such be the case, his
evidence is most respectfully solicited.
Concerning railroad investments, and
the profits thereon prior to 1888 we are
not posted, but since that time they have
yielded a large profit on the actual
amount invested IN the roadbeds and
equipment. The Texas and Pacific
being the most important in
Texas, and passing over q greater
diversity of country, may be taken as
fair Illustration. From the annual re-
port of this company to its stockholders
for the year ending December 81, 1889
(the same being signed by Gould and
others the net earnings for the road for
1889 were 81 ,844 ,86O.74 or S1232 per
mile. See report above, page IS.
Placing the valuation OF this road at
$3.50 per mile, the average valuation
comptroller's report, it is clearly proven
that the income is a little more
than Is per cent. after paying all
expenses some of which are most eX-
travagant. Yet Judge Watts says the
roads do not even pay drumming eX-
penses. PartIe' desiring a copy of
this report may obtain copy from Henry
Clews l. Co., New York.
1t is not claimed, as Judge Watts in
sinuates, that the commission, ," if
adopted, ''will develop q single mine or
put one extra dollar in circulation - but
it is claimed that the 'foirculation will
be greatest in the state, because the
roads will not carry so much money out
to build up others and favored points.
In conclusion we submit that if the
railroads in Texas were ever placed in
hands of receivers, it was because they
failed to pay, not interest on the actual
investment and worth of the roads, but
upon bonds in many cases fraudulently
issued. If the roads suffered thereby it
was their own fault, they deserve
no sympathy, and should not
be allowed to take advan-
tage of their own wrong. Then the road
seeks equity. Let it come with clean
hands and "do equity
2. If railroads do not pay in Texas,
why do they continue building?
3. If the roads do not fear the COM
mission as Judge Watts says, why do
they fight it? A. S. HAWKINS.

CHICAGO UNION STOCKYARDs.
Suit Begun to Prevent the ConsummatlOn of
the Proposed S2O,OOOOOO Sale of
the Property.

CHICAGO, III, June l3.-The antici-
pated suit to prevent the consumma ton
of the proposed $40, 900 900 sale OF IRe
Union stockyards and transit COM
pany of Chicago to an English
syndicate was commenced before
Judge Tuley this afternoon.
Decidedly sensational charges are made
in the bill and the court is asked 20 re-
move the present officers of the big cor
poration, appoint receiver and issue an
Injunction restraining the proposed
issue of bonds and the sale of
the plant and stock. The complainant
in the bill is Frank II. Baker, dealer at
the stockyRrds and the owner of
over $50 shares OF the capital
stock of the company. Mr.. Baker
makes the defendants, Nathaniel
Thayer of Boston, the Company's presi-
dent, John Il. sherman, general mana
ger; George Il. Williams, secretary and
treasurer; j. c. Dennis, assistant score
tRry, and six of the best known railroad
magnates in the United States j ohm New
ell, Marvin Hughitt, J NJ. Mccullough,
j. &. MoMilleu, II. :. Stone, r. Il.
Gable and Stuyvesant Fish, directors of
the Union stOckyaTds and transit COM
pany. The other defendants are Russell
II. Monroe and Richard Olney,
promoters of the. enterprise TO
buy the yards; the London contract COM
pauy Gimitsdl TO whom it is purposed to
make the sale, the Central trust COM
pany, 10 which a mortgage was 10 be
given, and VIM. II Vanderbilt, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, John Il. HoSie of Texas and
James II. Ashley, who, with President
Yhayer and Manager sherman, own .
majority of the stock. The bill charges
that it is with no legitimate and lawful
motive that the defendants are seeking
TO carry out the scheme of
selling the property, but that on the con-
trary they are inspired with the sole in
tention of selling it for little over half
its value. That they then propose to de-
preciate the value OF the
stock aud run the property
down in value until it reached mIni-
mum, then when the small stockholders
are frozen out the manipulators will buy
the plant and good will in it fer
mere song. Mr.. Baker de-
clared that the company's STOCK
is intrinsioally worth 5000 a sharess.
whereas the proposed purchase
price is $3.50, of which only
the par value 500 Is cash. BE
then answers the question himself.
A further objection is that the London
contract company and the Central trust
company are alien corporations, over
which the courts here eau exercise no
Jurisdiction. II is SAID, that being q
