AT Paris Christmas a brakeman
known as Jack Frost was taking in
the city and met with man named
McRady on the same line of bust
ness. They did not harmonic, and
though no one knows what occurred,
they seem to have had words and
several quarrels during the night.
Saturday morning McRady got a
horse and rode to the house of
friend, where he got a pistol. The
next thing known was that the two
men were quarreling on Lamar
avenue near the rear door of sa-
loon. An eye witness says McRady
was throwing his hand out like a
man taking aim with a pistol, while
Frost, every time McRady made the
motion, would wave his left hand
contemptuously and say, 'Tm not
afraid of that" and that at last, as
McRady threw his hand out and
Frost's left hand and arm were ex-
tended, the pistol was fired and
Frost dropped with bullet through
his left lung. Frost was carried to
the city hospital and McRady was
arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal Joe Mckee and put in jail.
Frost cannot live.
There was rayors flying in the
air at Paris Sunday where three or

Garrett, paradoxical as it may seem
who were both black, were laid up
for repairs.
