Many residents of this city and in
fact Of all towns on the Frisco between
here and Monet, were panied to learn
that Brakeman Jack Majors, of the
passenger train, had been shot and
killed last Friday night. On the east
bound trip that evening a drunken
aud desperate character named Bud
Blunt got on at CRANKY and entering
the rear coach began swearing and
making himself generally obnoxious.

car and stepped out upon the plat

smoker, responded. Within an in
