DEATH OF 4 FORMER TEXAN,
DE- y s. Smith Who Recently Lived in

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 12.-Sensa-
tlonal developments in the death of
aged Doctor c. S. Smith of this CITY
who was highly esteemed here,
amassed considerable property and
lived alone as a bachelor. Doctor
Smith came to Olympia two years ago
from Llano, Tex, where he had been
practicing physician for seventeen
years and was one of the best in
that section of the country. Greatly
respected in this community, those
who knew him in Texas speak of him
in the highest terms. 1t appears from
will made last April and other pa
pers found in his desk that his name
was not Smith, by which name he has
been known nearly twenty years in
Texas and this city, but that his name
was 5. 0. Thompson, formerly county
treasurer OF Decatur county, Ia. In
1872, while holding that office he
became defaulter for large sum of
money, and the alternative star
ed him in the face either to abscond
or stand trial. He fled, and in a little
While after settled in Llano, Tex,
where for seventeen years he led an
upright life and was looked upon as a
leading citizen. He was supposed to
be dead by his wife and children in
Iowa, and indeed all citizens Of that
county, save one, Ed X. Pittman,
with whom he has been recently COM
In the will he leaves
of his property in this city,
worth $4,000, to his children, and the
other half to the sufferers of his
bond as county treasurer of Decatur
county, Iowa. His wife and three
children live in Leon, Ia. He left an
letter to be sent to his
children, and directed that the body
be buried without ostentation or dis
play, with little expense, in the
most obscure corner Of the Masonic
A Masonic emblem of
high degree was found on his key
ring. 1t is not known exactly how
much the defalcation amounted to, but
in a paper left behind by the doctor
he states that his troubles were
brought about by protested friends.
The matter is supposed to have
preyed upon the mind of the unfortu-
nate man and as he grew older was

Then he was troubled lately with
heart failure, and while going home
fell across a railroad track on a trestle
thirty feet high, but was discovered
in time to prevent his being mangled
by the train. He was given decent
burial today.

SAN TONES GRAND JURY.
II IS CREATING QUITE A STIR IN
MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS.
Judge Noonan in Open Court Says They
Have the Right to Demand That the
City's Books Be Laid
Before Them.
Special to the Statesman.

special 10 inc statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 12.-The
grand jury, which has been engaged
in investigating the books of certain
city officials, sprung their first sur
prise today when, upon their recon-
mendation, proceedings were COM
menced for the removal of Constable
r. R. Martinez on the ground of
malfeasance in Office. 1t is alleged
that the constable has charged fees
for men not arrested. Other sensa-
tional indictments are expected.
City Engineer Paul Prefer APP
peared before Judge Noonan in con-
tempt of the grand jury this morning.
The specific charge being that he re-
fused to give up the books of the
office to the grand jury. The latter
body was present in the court room
and arguments were made as to
whether the demand for the books
was based on legal right, both par
ties being represented by able legal
talent. Judge Noonan decided that
the grand jury had right to demand
and keep the books in their possession
as long as required in the investi-
cation. Mayor Callahan had previ-
ously offered the account books
of the city to any committee
the grand jury might see fit to APP
point, stating that they were at all
times open to inspection. He objects
to the grand jury taking possession of
the books and sequestrating them in
the grand jury room for any number
of days to the great detriment of
business. BY nine cut of
ten of the citizens his proposition is
as fair, conservative and cor
rect. BY many taxpayers the county
grand jury is loudly denounced as Of
ticious Intermediates and without the
ability to understand the books after
they get possession of them. The
course Of the body which is now in
session is generally laughed at.

PROBABLY a FATAL SHOT.
r. H. Hickman Dangerously Wounds Jim
Wilson in a Dallas Saloon.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 14.-Shortly
after noon today this city was treated
to a sensation in the way of shoot
ing. Jim Wilson was probably fatally
wounded at the hands of r. II. Hick-
man. The affair took place at Sims
saloon on Elm street, East Dallas.
The men became involved in a dis
pute, which resulted in Hickman
firing at Wilson, the ball striking him
in the right arm, passing through the
shoulder and finally lodging in the
neck. 1t has not yet been recovered.
Hickman, a wood yard proprietor,
has been a resident of Dallas for the
past sixteen years, having come here
from White county, Tennessee. He
is looked upon as desperate man,
having killed Andy Pierson here
seven years ago. On another occasion
he pulled down on two officers with
Winchester. Wilson is the driver of
a milk wagon, and but little can be
learned about him. At the time of
Hickman's arrest he was making his
way out of town, and had said no
officer should take him. Wilson is
resting easily, but doubts are enter
tanned as to his recovery.

terday took an overdose of morphine
and died from it's effects. Henson
was sick and took the drug to free

BIG TRAIN ROBBERY.
1t Occurred Near Milwaukee and the Booty
Will be Large.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Nov. 12.-The
midnight train from Chicago on The
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail
road was robbed near the Western
Union junction at l o'clock this morn
ing. The robbers are supposed to
have boarded the train at the June
ton, and as soon as it was away from
the station in the open plains, broke
into the express car. The booty will
probably amount to 100000, perhaps
more. The train generally car
ried all the money received by
the Milwaukee banks from the East
in the morning.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A train was robbed this morning
about half a mile from Western Union
Junction. The fireman heard a
noise behind him and turning saw
two masked men climbing over the
tender. They both leveled a double
barrelled gun at him and the engineer,
saying: ,.u .u
'Don't move one inch till we tell
you or we will blow the tops of your
heads Off"
About mile from the junction they
ordered the train stopped. The engl-
neer and fireman marched to the ex-
press car which was blown open with
bombs. The robbers were six or
seven in number and took the safes
out bodily, and took the keys from the
messenger. Two iron boxes OF the
American Express company were
stolen. The messenger says the
amount stolen was over hun
dred thousand dollars. Every door
and window had been blown out OF
the express car. ..,,
The express officials in the city will
not divulge the exact amount OF
plumber secured by the Western
Union Junction train robbers, but
parties in position to know say 1t Will
not exceed $4,000 and may fall con-
siderabIy short of that sum. the I'M
