The assassinator got in his work early
and often in Fort Worth yesterday; and
that none of his attempts were success
full IS remarkable.
The fret fracas occurred at O'Clock
yesterday morning. A number OF men
were in a saloon near the corner
of Main and Fourteenth streets
at that early, or rather
late hour, tanking up on beer. Their
proceedings were fairly harmonious up
10 that hour, when a set-to occurred be-
tween Jack Sullivan and Jim Trinity.
Quick as a flash Trinity whipped out q
razor and made two swipes at his enemy.
Both took effect in the throat, the
gashes crossing cal other ana
each reaching to the colIar-bo The
stabber fed out into the night, carrying
his weapon with him. Officers Judkins
aud Kits were soon on his track, and ere
long discovered him hiding near the
Texas and Pacific stockyards, and landed
him in the county jail. He is tough
looking specimen. Sullivan's blood
flowed freely until he sunk exhausted,
when he was removed to the city hos
pital. Late last night he was reported
getting along all right.
Early yesterday morning two young
darkies boarded the east bound Texas
and Pacific freight train TO steal ride
10 Dallas. Ed McDuff is the name of the
younger, aged about fifteen years, and
Andy SanGerson the name of his partner.
When they had got short distance
out from the depot ut Fort Worth they
began to quarrel. McDuff pulled q
knife and waded into Sandy. Sixteen
wounds on the head and face is the re-
suit of his slashing. The wounds are not
deep or dangerous on the top of the head,
but one under the eye may result SER
iously. McDuff jumped from the train as
soon as he got tired chopping, and took
10 the woods. When the train arrived
at the next station, the Sanderson,
almost lifeless, was sent TO Fort Worth
on west bound train, and here his
wounds were dressed by the city physi-
cian Deputy Sheriff Jim Maddox rode
out into the country and captured Nc
Duff.
Cornelius Crenshaw is the name of a
fifteen-year-od white boy who this |
morning finds himself confined within |
the walls of the county jail charged |
with carrying weapon. Cornelius |
doomed in the Third ward yesterday |
afternoon with niger shooter |
in his possession, which article he made |
use of TO the annoyance of a colored |
youth, who demonstrated, whereupon |
Cornelius pulled a 3S-caliber and was |
about TO shoot. But an officer inter- |
vened, took possession of the gun and of |
Cornelius, and the latter was placed III |
Jail.
DR.. Rogan is the name Of a gentleman |
who with his family resides on Weather.
ford street, east of the Santa Fe track. |
Adjoining his promises are couple of |
vacant houses. Yesterday morning a
number of missiles were thrown from
the vacant houses into Rogan's
yard. One of them struck q
knocking her senseless. Another struck
Mrs. Rogan on the shoulder. The
offenders fled. They were not seen by
ANYBODY, but it is known they were full
grown men, as some of the stones
thrown are heavier than a boy could
handle. There is not the least suspicion
Rs to who the parties are.
On Tuesday evening when the west
bound Texas and Pacific train pulled out
from Dellas there was on board a young
man named James A. Richardson He
is built on the general plan of q dude,
and says he is an EnglIshman. The tram
had not gone far when Jim undertook
10 make himself familiar with q
lady seated in the coach in
which he rode. The lady did not hest
tate 10 use very plain language to the
fellow. The latter resented what she
said, and with the cowardlY rage of
brute struck her in the face. In a jiffy
half a dozen strong men had seized the
Tufiian, and the way he was mauled over
that car was a caution. On his arrival
at Fort Worth he was taken in
charge by the officers, but was
released on putting up his watch as Sc
curity for his appearance. Yesterday
afternoon he was pulled in again by Off
Ger Peyton Maddox, and last evening
Deputy Sheriff Moore came over TO take
him back to Dallas, the crime having
been committed in that county.
A tough negress of Twelfth street,
named Lou Sanders, was lodged in jail
last evening on a charge of aggravated
assault. Lou has a record. She has
won many q victory. 1t appears that
she sits in trout of her cabin lying
IN wait for drunken passers-by,
lpou whom she pounces, Just
Tor the fun of lighting. She
has paid numerous fines in the recorders
court. Yesterday she sailed into q whole ,
mob of losfers, and wiped up the earth /
With them. But a policeman walked of
With Lou, and now she lauguishes in the
1astile.
