PARIS, TEX, Aug "A lively fight oc-
cured between officers and thieves fifteen
miles southeast of Purcell. in the Chiclla-
saw Nation, Friday night a week ago.
Deputy Phillips and his posse and deputy
marshal and posse from Oklahoma were ON
trail of a party of five horse thieves and
whisky peddlers They rounded them up
at a negro cabin about o'clock in the
morning. The fugitives refused TO sur
render, and a man was detailed TO set fire
to the house, while others kept watch to
prevent them escaping. Before anything
could be done the outlaws opened fire on
officers through the cracks of the house
The officers, eight in number, returned the
fire, and soon made it so hot for the out
laws that they yielded
Among the captured men was whisky
peddler named Frank Cohen. who was
wanted by the Oklahoma authorize for
horse stealing. He was turned over to
them, and placed in jail. Cohen is said to
be an escaped convict from the Arkansas
Penitertiary. He is also thought 10 be a
friend and associate of the notorious jim
Dyer, who was reCently1 captured and
jailed in Oklahoma: after mis- arrest Cohen
told the officers that. that was the first
night he had slept in house in three years.

ALIEN LAND LAW.
An Effort to Show Up the Fallacy of Certain
Arguments Condemnins 1t.
Editor Gazette.

Editor Gazette.
HASKELL, HASKELL COUNTY, TEX, July
29.-F'or some time L have been reading and
watching the tenor of the various articles
published in your paper on the subject of
the recently passed alien land law of Texas,
but thought would hold my peace and say
nothing OF the subject.
But when | resd such absolutely pre-
posterous, misleading, not to say false,
statements as that coming from Austin of
date, July %. published in The GAZETTE of
July q. am constrained to express myself
and try 10 show up the fallacv of such ar
guments. To one uniformed as 10 what
this wonderful alien land law is, and its in
tent, and to read the article
above referred to, which, with its
semblance of reasoning. one I'M
informed might read il with some degree of
belief, but it will not bear a test with one
who is really acquainted with the facts OF
the case. From what l read of what has
been said on the subject, l am firmly con-
WINGED in the first place that no purely dis
interested, honest person nor sound Dem
ocrat is opposing this law, and only
those VINO We're in way CON
nected with those foreign syndicates
and loan companies, such as loan agents
who held fat positions and We're making
big money out OF it, and banks who held
their money on deposit free OF charge and
had the free use of it to loan to the poor
laborer or farmer at high interest, and such
papers OF the state whose influence could be
bought to publish articles. against
and condemning the law and
thereby manufacture sentiment against
it, are agitating this question. None others.
But what IN fact is the law? These parties
fail to tell us anything definitely about it,
but in general way condemn it.
BY a close examination of its provisions,
as will be found on page 81, acts of
the last legislature, to which 1 chal-
lenge the investigation OF every
farmer, laborer, mechanic and Democrat
whether Alliance or otherwise Il am no
Alliance member and belong to no secret
organization of that kind, but do claim to
be Democrat.
l. The first section OF article nine pro-
vides that aliens shall have and
enjoy in Texas rights to personal property
as are accorded to citizens OF the Emitted
States by the laws of the nation to which
he such alien, belongs, etc
But what or who do we understand to be
an alieni Article 10 defines this: s.No
alien or person who is not citizen Of the
United States of America These are
the character OF persons who are forbid or
prohibited from owning or acquiring land
in TeXas-an alien or unnaturalized for
eigner. company or firm, some one or more
who live beyond the mighty deep,n and
who holds allegiance to some other nation
or fiag-one or more who have never taken
the oath OF allegiance to and has
no interest in the laws of
the United States ror of Texas. These are

Canaries, when both are young, often
make some very radical mistakes with their
first nest, either by using far too much ma
terial or not enough. One pair we watched
filled the box completely full; so they were
supplied with more material, which thew
at once began piling up on top of the box
until it rose p inches above the edge. In
the middle of this they made the nest, not
only using moss and hair, bat every feather
and odd bit they could find. At the end of
the season they built q second nest, which
showed they had learned something BY for
mer experience, this nest being composed
Of sufficient material and no more. an
swering the purpose in every way, with
about half the expenditure of labor used
in their first attempt.
Again, it is very interesting to watch
them under the condition of having I'M
suitable materials to build with, and under
these conditions they point moral to us
by doing their best under the worst cir
cumstances. To one pair of birds which
had bred three seasons gave a nesting box
so small that the hen could not possibly sit
in it; however, this only called forth special
effort and thought, and after filing the
box they gradually extended the sides of
the nest, little at Il time, as it rose above
the edge of the box, until the circumfer-
ence was large enough to allow OF the in
side being formed.
One pair which were Gagged together could
never agree as to which box they should
build in, having choice of TWO. The hen
decided on one, the cock on the other, so
they both began building on their own &C
count until all the material was used
Then the worst of the quarrel began.
While the hen was down feeding the cock
would go and fetch the moss out of her
box to put in his own, and so vice versa.
many desperate fights being the result.
After three days of this unhappy state of
married life removed one box and gave
them some fresh moss, after which thev
built very nice nest and reGred fau3l

One thing the matter is that Texas cities
have outgrOwn the country. Settle up the
country and the cities will take care OF
themselves.-LHo Houston Post.
That sounds familiar; one black
smith shop Is enough for any town, and
so is one store aud one doctor and one
bank. Some people in Texas are not
fused to" competition, and it kills them
dead.
Why does San Antonio outgrow any
town in Texas, when the country about
San Antonio is not famous for its pro-
gress or population:
The Post should look into the fig
ures.
There is not in all Texas a state of
100000 people a single town of 10000
population, and yet 50 intelligent d
journal as the Post deliberately AYERS
that the Texas cities have outgrown
the couatry." Perhaps they have in
South Texas, but not up here in the
black waxy land where the wheat fields
are.
Some two or three months ago THE
GAZETTE made comparison between
the city and country population OF
Texas and of states in the West and
Northwest. that are, as Texas is, chiefly
agricultural. That comparison, based
upon the showiugs Of the census report,
disroses OF the pretension that Texas
cities are in advance Of the country. If
our city population had the same ratio
10 the country population as Michigan,
Missouri or California has, it would be
more than double what it now is.
There is room enough 10 grow in the
country. and there is more room to
grow in the city. There is room to
grow in that city of Texas which shall
prepare itself to assume the relation to
the people Of Texas that is now occu-
pied by St. Louis and Chicago-the re-
lation of a manufacturer OF raw materi-
ais into finished products for the con-
sumption of the people. As
now, st. Louis and Chicago
are largely Texas cities be-
cause they stand in the place that
our cities should stand-they are sup
ply depots for our people.

A WARMLY contested political cam
paigu has Just closed in Kentucky. in
which the Farmers Alliance. throwing
their fortunes in with the Republicans,
set out to defeat the Democrats. They
have protested to believe that the Dem
ocrats Will be defeated. One of their
leaders. Taubenecz Of Illinois, wrote to
friends that if $1,000 could be raised to
put Alliance speakers in that state.
they were sure Of victory. Notwith-
standing this distressing need OF stump
speakers and the probable loss of a
great victory for want Of them, the
Alliance leaders anG speakers stayed
away from Kentucky. PETER, Simpson,
Macune, Jones, Tracy and others, all
sons of Thunder whose bugle blasts
would rally the faint-hearted TO deeds
OF might. maintained an active cam
paign in Texas, where there is nothing
doing. and left their Kentucky friends
to sink or swim. This was 4 very strik-
ing example of political management.
Did the late anti-sub-treasdry move
ment in Texas make the condition OF
the order SO desperate in this state that
everything had 10 be abandoned to save
il: That is the only reasonable expla-
nation that can be thought Of for this
inexplicable desertion OF the Alliance

a gigantic wheat trust, expose and en-

a gigantic wheat trust, expose and en-
phasize the folly OF the Alliance lead
ership and the credulity Of its follow
ing. Such CORNERS" as has been pro-
posed are possibly only among a few
persons who can control enormous CAPT
tai and can work together TO their
ends. No combination is possible now
that can control our wheat crop, be-
cause it would take several hundred
millions of dollars to do it. and a COM
pany that could get together so much
ready cash would be so large as to be-
come uuwieldy. The proposition TO
unite a million or more farmers in a
trust OF this kind shows the weakness
OF the mental organization OF the au-
thors OF the scheme.
How shall million men be bound to-
gether in this movement SO as to make
them act as one man? Self interest is
the moving sense in all OF Us. When
one OF the million decided in his mind
that it was best for him TO sell, he
would sell. and there would be no power
in the others to keep him from selling.
The combination being broken. it would
amount to nothing And other wheat
growers outside OF the combination,
when wheat had reached a figure that
they thought was likely TO be the limit,
would turn loose millions OF bushels on
the market, and defeat the objects of
the combination.
Nevertheless, while this scheme OF a
farmers wheat corner is impracticable,
the signs point to higher prices for
wheat. and the farmer who can hold
his wheat will be likely to profit by so
doing. There is a shortage in several
foreign countries and they are looking
to America to supply the demand.
Prices must advance when this demand
becomes pressing, and the farmer with
wheat in January will find that the
profit on his harvest was made between
July and January.

DURANGO, Col, Aug. AT ball in the
Blue mountains on July "a, a terrible trag-
edy occurred, which is seldom equaed in the
history of crimes. While dancing was on

a tough character by the name of Tom Roach

armed with knife and his six-shooter He

requested not to interfere with persons al

he would dance and took hold of a

fromsthe floor. This was resented, and the
parties became engaged in a scuffle. when
q man named Frank H. HYDE, son of a
merchant. William Hyde. attempted to end
the disturbance. Roach turned on HYDE
and viciously stabbed him with the knife,
infiicting dangerous wounds in several
places. Roach left the room. but continued
named Billie McCord, belonging to
the II. CT outfit tried to pacity
Roach by going out where he was and talk
ing to him. This seemed to eTrage him
more than ever: and drawing his gun he
killed McCord on the spot. BY this time
excitement was becoming intense, and as
no one was armed people were almost panic
stricken. a boy slipped away TO a house
near by and securing Winchester
returned TO the schoolhouse. He
took aim and fired, but missed
Roach and killed Mrs. Walton. wife
of Chas. E. Walton an estimable woman
living in the community. By this time
CONSERVATION had seized upon all. and ter
ror reigned supreme. In the excitement
Roach left the place, since which time he
has not been seen. The entire community
are searching for him.
Much sorrow is felt for the death of Mrs.
Walton and McCord, both Of whom were
well known and respected.
