Stopped By a Bullet.

1t is reported here that Charlie
Station, son Of Deputy-Sheriff John
Station, shot IA negro on the Mineral
railroad yesterday. No one, how
ever, has been able to learn the full
particulars leading to the difficulty,
Station is engaged on the road work
as boss or manager oil squad OF
men and had some trouble with one
of the men, who levelIed a shot gun
at him. Station, however, got the
drop, firing first, the pistol ball strik-
ing the negro in the center of the
forehead, but failed to penetrate the
skull. The man is said not to be
dangerously wounded, but it was suf-
ficient to check his advance.
Since the above was put in type it
is learned that the shooting occurred
in McTighe & Co.'S, commissary
store. Chas Station it seems, had
had some trouble with the negro on
the line in regard to work and per-
haps some hard words were passed
between the two. Station, however,
thought nothing more Of it until the
negro entered the store with IA double
barreled shot gun, and directed an
insulting remark ut him. The negro
was told to shut his mouth, where
upon without warning he leveled the
gun at Station and pulled the trigger.
The gun failed to fire and Station
whipped a pistol from his pocket and
fired, the ball striking the negro in
the head as described above. The
negro was alive this morning, but il
is thought now that his case is more
serious than anticipated at first and
that he may die. Every account Oh
the trouble CONSTITUTES the shooting as
a clear case Of self defense.

THINGS THAT HURT.

Wichita Herald.
We sell our wheat in car loads to eastern
mills and buy it as -four by the 100 pounds
We sell our broom corn by the ton and
buy it back by the broom.
Our cotton goes out by the bale and is sold
back to us handkerchief at time.
Our wool is sold by the ton and re-sold to
us by the yard.
We sell our beef by the head and buy ii
back by the steak.
Our fine timber falls down and rots while
we buy our ak handles in Kansas City.
We breed our mares to any kind of scrub
cayuse and send to Missouri for our mules.
We could raise hogs cheaper than any
country on earth, and yet we buy our bacon
in Chicago.
A large portion of the State is adapted to
the growth of sugar cane, but we wouldn't
have molasses unless it came from New Or
leans.
Our hills are full of iron, but we couldn't
use pillow that didn't come from Illinois.
The material of which our clothing is
made grows in the South, but we prefer to
pay the people of the East to sew this mate
rial together.
Texas is one of the heaviest hide producing
States in the Union, but the money we pay
for boots and shoes goes to the people of
some other country.
We would import our wives and children
if we had to pay for them.
We would have our biscuit baked in Kan
sas City if our wives were'net more sensible
and enterprising than we are.
We buy the education of our children in
the North when we have better article at
home.
Having the finest climate on earth, we
would use nothing but the weather of other
states, if there was any way for railroads and
express companies to make anything by
hauling it to us.
We have the most abundant crops ever
grown in the state, but will be buying our
supplies in the North before January.
Three to five tons of grapes may be raised
to the acre, but those who enjoy glass of
wine drink painted decoctions from Ualifor-
nia-or anywhere else outside of Texas.
We rush our products off in bulk on q
crowded market and buy by piecemeal when
the dealers have disposed of the surplus we
have rushed upon them.
We do not have to import any financial
idiots. The woods are full of them.
