DALLAS, TEX. Sept. 4.-The admirers
of base ball are going to have an oDpor-
tuuity to witness some good playing yet
this year, regardless of the fact that the
Texas league has "gone busted' and
the clubs have disbanded. Arrange
ments have been made by which first
class club will be started in Dallas as
soon as the season is over at the North.
The team will be here a few days before
the opening of the state fair. AS takes
Two clubs to play ball, it would be well
for Fort Worth and other sister cities to
make arrangements to meet the new Dali
las team. as the season will be over,
good players can probably be had at Il
price that will justify engaging them and
furnish again treat for the admirers of
our national game.

headquarters and stated that on Satur-
day night week ago, while he and his
younger brother were asleep at their
room on Freeman street, near Ross ave-
nue., some one entered their room and
took his watch and chain and $40. 40 in
money. Attached TO the watch chain
was a charm with the monogram "W.
II. - on one side and ITO Berthe on
the other. Mr.. Huff says this is the
third time this year that thieves have en-
tered his room.
The lovers of good music will have
great treat on Monday and Tuesday

large delegation from Fort Worth and
bespeak for them an enjoyable time.

This morning the foreman of gang of
men engaged in tearing up the pave
ment at the foot of Main street in order
to make the connection with the Dallas
consolidated traction company and the
Oak Cliff railway was arrested by order
of City Engineer Payner. The arrest
was made on the grounds that no per-
nit had been granted by which the pave
ment could be torn up. President
Marsalis adjusted the matter and the
foreman was released.
Considerable feeling is being mani
tested on the west side of the river at
the proposed incorporation of Oak Cliff
and West Dallas, and there is liability of
O hitch. The West Dallasites do not like
the idea, claiming that they are too
rural for city airs. Besides this they
think that Eagle Ford, Grand Prairie,
Lisbon and other towns in the west of
the county are treated badly in not be-
ing asked to join the combine, and it
now looks as if Oak Cliff will have West
Dallas and her sisters as suburbs in place
of their being part of the future great.

are on the lookout for him and expect
soon TO have him also behind the bars.

Report reached the city to-day that a
negro had made murderous assault
upon Perry Overton at the Overton farm
a few miles west of the city. 1t appears
that some words ensued between young
Overton and the negro when the latter
procured a heavy club and attacked the
Young man, infiicting serious but not
necessarily fatal wounds. The negro
made good his escape, but officers from
this city have gone in pursuit.
The striking brakemen at Corsicana
appear to be determined in their endeav-
ors in not allowing freight to be moved,
and United States Marshal Knight, who

here for reinforcements, and tonight
three more deputies were sent him.
This evening as freight tram No. 16 on
the Texas and Pacific was leaving Eagle

which hit him, causing painful wound.
