WIN Not Throw Stones for a Month,

Emma Keys, an old colored woman, whose
home is in Porksteak alley, appeared before
Judge Miller this morning with bundle under
her apron. She was complainant in the case
OF a boy named George Raymond, who was
charged with celebrating Halloween night in
an illegal way. In the bundle the old lady had
a large stone, and she said that by the help of
God she was going to tell the truth. She ac-
cused George Of having thrown the stone and
broken her door with it. George denied the
charge, but the judge believed what Aunt
Emma had said and imposed fines amounting
to Sl3. George went down for q month

Horn, tailor, and Henry Burgess. a colored
barber, which was witnessed by hundreds Of
passers-by. Horn, it appears, spoke to Burgess
about = promissory note. Hot words passed
between them, and now Horn has a mark on
his forehead, inflicted, ii is alleged, by burgess
list. The latter's coat was badly damaged, and
he asserted that in the fray he lost q watch that
cost him $780, Burgess got on u car to get rid
Of the tailor, but the latter followed him, and
Policeman Gibson finally appeared and quoted
both men by placing them under arrest This
morning each Of the defendants told Judge
Miller his side Of the affair and Horn called q
witness in his behalf. Burgess said that the
witness worked for Horn and was not present
when the difficulty occurred. Judge Miller
said that the public street was no place to col

| Special to the Gazette.
VERNON, TEX. March 31.-Vcrnon is
| about to obtain that necessity to her COM
merclal prosperity, an elevator. con-
| tract has been closed with a company
that will put mp a 100, 900 bushel ele-
vator and 200 barrel mill. This will, of
course, be Of great advantage to both
| town and country, as it will enable
buyers here to handle much more grain,
and will give the farmer a more reliable
market for his products. F. NJ Cockrell,
manager of the big Dallas elevator, was
in the city day or so ago and made
| proposition to put up 20, 600 bushel
elevator in time to handle this years
crop, building it so that it can be easily
increased to a capacity of 1000, 200
bushels. His proposition will doubtless
! be accepted. MI. Cockrell is q practical
mill and grain man, and after looking
over the country here decided that the
gram crop of this county was worth look
| ing after.
Mr. German, a member of the COM
panY who are to put the waterworks and
electric light plant in here, has been in
Vernon recently, and the contract has
been drawn up and duly signed. Work
will be begun as soon as the material can
be got upon the ground.
The architects are busy with plans for
