WITH A KEEN KNIFE.
CHARLES NElMEYER WAS CUT
ALMOST TO PIECES
Last Nisht--The Wounds Very Likely 10
Prove Fatal.

An alteration on Twelfth and RuSk
streets resulted in blows, and Charles Nei-
| meyer lies at his nome on Twelfth and
Jones, cut and slashed in several places
| with chances about equal between life and
death. As FAR as eau be learned Neimeycr
Ie1t the Pavilion thedter, of which he Is
manager, and walked west on Twelfth
street. At the corner of RUsb he was met
oy two men with whom he had previously
had an alteration ana the dispute was re-
newed. Neimeyer knocked one of the men
down and was in turn knocked down. tha
position of the wounds on the legs indicat-
| ing that he was on the ground when they
were inflicted. Various reports are aloat
regarding the affair. and so great was the
excitement over the affair that an iutelli-
glble account OF the ARRAY was exceedingly
difficult to secure. Neimeyer was resting
comparatively easy when the reporter left
the house at l2:f5 this morning, but when
| inflammation sets in the turn of the case
Tor life or death Will be determined
The following are the details of the af-
fray rs far as could be learned last night,
only one man apparently Witnessing the
alteration and cutting:
Last night at about IL o'clock Charles
Neimeyer, manager OF the Andrews pavil-
ion, became involved in quarrel with
James Stewart and George Sewers on the
Garner of Twelfth and Busk streets. All
three of the men had been drinking heavily
during the afternoon and were considera-
bly, under the influence of liquor and once
before in the evening had some words, but
did not come to blows.
The trouble is said to have originated
in this manner. One of the frequenters of
the vicinity of the prviliOn a day or Two
since got INTO trouble and was arrested and
arraigned in the police court yesterday
lawyer in the city defended her sue
cessfully, and it is said that he was told to
apply to Neimeyer and another man for his
lee. The application was made and de-
MED. In the meantime some one
Is said to have written notes TO toe wives
of Neimeyer and the other party inform
ing them that their husbands
were paying the fines of women
of easy virtue. This Of course
made trouble in the families, and it worked
upon Neimeyer to such All extent that he
started out on spree Meeting up
with Stewart and Sewers he seemed
to think them the authors of
the notes. He gave vent TO his thoughts
and the result was a fight between
Neimeyer and Sewers. Neimeyer
on hun, when Sewers slashed him with
knife in several places, once On the arm,
once on the leg, and once in the right side
of the abdomen, just below the short-ribS,
the latter wound being the dangerous one.
1t Is about six inches long and four 10 five
inches deep. DR.. Parker was called in and
dressed the wounds. He pronounced
the wound in the abdomen very
dangerous, as peritonitis was apt TO set in.
If this was avoided, the chances for Nei-
meyers recovery were good.
Stewart and Sewers were arrested last
night at about II 30 O'Clock.

TERRITORY TOPICS.
Congressman Springer of !llinos
interviewed on
THE C0UNTRY'S SITUATION.
Great Interest Observation-Disclosures of
the Choctaw Marriage Law Which
are not Carried Out
Nowadays.


Special to The Gazette.
ARDMoRE, !. T.. June l2-One of our
prominent lawyers, returning srom bust
ness trip TO the North. called on Congress
man Springer at Saylor Springs, H., the
other day and had q lengthy talk with MIN
about the situation in this country and the
legislation it demands. Mr.. Springer has
during his long service in congress taken
great interest in legislation affecting the
Territory and the Indians. and understands
the problems that oeset this country from
the legislative standpoint better than any
living man. His views are liberal and 10
measure not founded upon absolute Justice
to the Indian will ever receive his
support. But while he would do full JUS
tIce 10 the Indians, he is determined that
the United States citizens who have so far
reclaimed this country shall also be pro-
tected. He says ii q proposition should be
brought forward next congress, well sup
ported by the whites and all the Indians,
he Will cooperate with them, providing for
the enabling act authorizing constitutional
convention and the admission into the
Union OF d new state to be formed within
the Indian Territory, and providing also
for the allotment of the lands in Severalty
to individual Indians, with full power Of
alienation, and the chances for its
passage ala most favorable. He
thinks 4 proposition not too radical,
but based on justice to the Indian, which
involves complete settlement of the diff
hculties that disturb this country, would
be received more favorably than tanner
measure that would leave the difficulties to
be settled by piecemeal. We urged earnest
and persistent agitation of the statehood
question.
Mr.. Springer feels great interest in this
country and will help us every way he can.
The legislation which we may be able TO
get passed will depend in great measure
on who is made speaker of the next house.
A speaker with liberal views on the Indian
question would help our measures through,
aud one with pull back proclivities would
be corresponding aid to the ''pull-baclz''
element here. Mr.. Springer is now more
favOrably inclined to progressive legisla-
ton, for through it we will have peace.

U. F. OF 7.
The Next Session of the United Friends of
Temperatures Grand Council to Be
Held at Temple, June 81.

OFFICE OF GRAND SCRIBE UNITED FRIENDS
OF TEMPERANCE. :
CLEBURNE TEX, June 10, 1891.
The next session of the grand council will
be held at Temple, Tex, commencing the
.!4th of this month. Each council is urgently
requested to send two or more delegates.
The last session appointed a committee to
revise the ritual and constitution of the
order, and the committee will make their
report, which will be considered BY the
grand council. County deputies and the
deputy worthy primate of each couacil Will
please report at once to Bro. c.. r. Grant,
chairman of the committee, ut Temple,
Tex, such changes as they may consider
necessary in the ritual and constitution
1t is believed by many thas the time has
come to organize a Temperance league''
upon a non-partisan basis, in order to Sc
cure a united effort on the part of all the
temperance workers of the state to oppose
granting license to any person who
may desire to engage in the ''tippling''
or ''saloon" business. Such move
ment on such a basis would doubt
less result in suppressing many of the
evils of the liquor traffic As an order the
United Friends of Temperance stands
pledged to crown down the liquor saloon
and gambling ROOM and the fight should
be made jointly against the twin infamies
and separate from any other question The
churches and homes of Texas will unite in
the movement, and the religious and two
thirds of the secular press of the state will
advocate it. The United Friends of Tenn
perance ought to inaugurate the movement
and begin the campaign Of education at
once.
Delegates to the grand council and friends
who favor such movement and wish TO at
tend the session will forward their names
to Brother G. r. Grant at Temple, who
will secure homes for them during the
session Of the grand council Yours fra
ternally, o. T. PLUMNER.

challenge that Turner was not game to
wrestle him GrPco-Rsman style. Let
him put up his money and name any
city in the state other than Fort Worth,
and see how quick he will get it covered.
That will show whether or not Mr. Turner
Is afraid TO have go with him Grace
Roman style.
In all of Capt. Shields challenges he
wants the match to come off at Fort Worth
For my part it is imrnaterial where the
match takes place, but my hackers DO not
want to go to Fort Worth, though they will
90 to any other city, if the match cannot be
arranged TO take place in Dallas
l will make Capt. Shields another propo-
sition in regard TO an an-round athletic
contest. namely: Throwing -, Is and 81
pound hammer putting the "A, Is and q
pound shot; the 56-pOund weight for dis
lance and height; tossing the sabre. it TO
be sixteen feet long, eight inches at
one end and four at the other end: hitch
and kick: vaulting with pole; standing
broad jump with or without weights;
standing high jump; running high jump;
running, hop. skip and Jump: running 100
yards or half mile. The match to be from
$500 TO $1,000 and to be in Fort Worth or
Dallas.
will also wager from 800 to $3.50 to
throw fye-pound weight width handle
further than any man in the state can throw
regulation Spaulding baseball
This is a good opportunity for baseball
players. J. w. TURNER
From the above it would seem that
Turner is an all-round man and is not
hampered by any particular style Of ath-
!etIcs. At ans rate ii looks
like business talk. Shields was
unable TO be fonnd last
night, but Mr.. Owen Parry, his hacker
was seen and shown the letter of Turner
He said in reference 10 il thaS Shields
would wreStle Turner in Dallas for $1,000
a side, the winner to take all the gate
receipts, the time to be agreed upon by the
each side TO post forfeit of
$3.50. Mn. Parry said the hackers of
Shields meant business and desired
Turner's friends to post their
money as quickly as possible ard
put an end to talking The matter will
probably be fixed up or hushed up soon, as
such talk as the foregoing will soon demon
strate which party is talking through its
hat -

Choctaw Marriage Law.
Special to the Gazette


PARIS. TEN, June 9-Mr. A. f. Elliott
and. Miss Il. A. Vaughn, of STANDBY, ]. T.,
were married here yesterday. preferring a
marriage under Texas laws to the uncer-
tainty attending marriages between white
people in the Nation under the conflicting
rulings of the Federal court.
The fact that marriages between white
men and Choctaw women is regulated by
Choctaw law BY an act passed by the Couu-
Gil in 1910 and now i'll force, will be inter-
esting reading, as there have no doubt been
marriages contracted in violation of it. 1t
reads:
THAT no white man shall be allowed to
marry in this Nation unless he has been =
resident of the same for two years. And
be it further enacted that he shall be re-
quired to produce license from the judge
or district clerk and be lawfully married by
minister of the Gospel or some other au-
thorized person, before he shall be entitled
and admitted to the privileges of citizen
ship by marriage Officers and ministers
solemnizing marriages in violation of the
law are subject TO fine of 500.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Some Probability of Match Between
Shields and Turner.

sssse much talked of wrestling match be-
e4#sen Capt. Shields of Fort Worth and
Turner Of Dallas seems to be COM
ing to focus. The only OBJ
stacle to the match heretofore has
been that Shields wished to wrestle in
Fort Worth, while Turner was strenuously
opposed TO so doing, claiming that far
deal would not be given him in this city,
Shields accused Turner of faintheartedness
and said that the objection to Fort Worth
100 urged as a means of avoiding the
'Mttch. The statement of Shields seems to
have aroused the ire of Turner, who imme-
diately came back at him in the following.
which appeared yesterday morning in the
Dallas News:
DELLAs, TEX, June 11.-'sfn reply to
Capt. Tom Shields of Fort Worth, who
wants to know what's the matter with
Turner of Dallas and his hackers, wish to
ebate that Turner is still in Dallas and will
@restle Capt Shields any style. for
any amount from $500 TO $1,000. I
will wrestle him in any of the STYLES, from
Grseco-R Roman, catch-as-catch-can, side
holds, with belts, collar and elbow, with
harness, Cornish style, with jackets back
holds, Scotch style or any other style now
wrestled in America. l will wrestle Capt.
Shields any of the above styles or all of
them. Let him name the amount he
wishes to wreStle for, from $500 to $1,000.
and preferred style he wishes to govern
the match. Capt. Shields stated in his
