AN OVERDOSE OF LAUDANUM.
Captain Hutchinson of Fort Worth, Has a
Narrow Escape from Death.

Special to The Statesman.
FORT WORTH, Tex, Sept. 17.-Ar
accident that came very nearly re,
sulting in the death of Capt. j. r
Hutchinson, one of the members O.
the legal profession here, occurred to.
day. A. Spingel went to his office
this morning in company with Geo.
Phillips of Abilene. The office of
Capt. Hutchinson is next door to that
of Robinson d Spingel, when Mr.. Spin
gel passed the door, which was open,
he noticed Capt. Hutchinson lying on
the Sofa This was after 8 o'clock. A
little later Mr.. Springer said to Mr..
Phillips that he would go into Capt.
Office and see whether
or not he was sick. He accordingly
entered and found him unconscious.
Mr.. Springer Immediately telephOned
to a physician, who shortly after ar
rived with stomach pump. This
was applied and it was found
that an overdose of laudanum had
been taken. ResGoratives were also
given the captain, and he soon re-
covered sufficiently to be taken home.
For some time past Captain Hutchin-
son has suffered with pains in his
breast, which at times were unbear-
able. When these pains came on the
captain has been allowed to alleviate
them by taking an opiate of some
kind. Today the pains were more
severe than usual and a larger dose
was consequently taken.

POSSIBLY A HOAX.
THE REPORTS OF GARZAs REvCLU-
TON DIsCREpITED IN LAREDO.
Hundreds Of Mysterious Circulars Distribu-
ted in Most Mysterious Manner on
the Plazas Last Night Asking the
People to join the Revolution.
Special to The Statesman.

Special to The Statesman.
LAREDO, Tex, Sept. 17.-Last
night, while the Plazas in this city
and Neuevo Laredo were crowded
with people, some parties unknown
distributed among the crowd a
dOdger printed in Spanish, a plan of
the revolution. 1t set forth that
Mexico was in the tolls of a
second Santa Anna, referring
to President Diaz, and all
liberty loving people should join in a
revolution to secure his overthrow
The plan went on to name Cartino
Cara as a leader or executive of the
revolution and Ruiz Sandoval OfbOrder
fame as commander-in-chi of the
army. Sandoval is the man who
crossed near here some months ago
with several men, and was scoOped
by the civil authorities, assisted by
the United States troops. He was ac-
quilted, on his trial, for lack of evil
dence as to his motives.
CartenO Cara is also DossessOr of
an unsavOry reputation, and his record
here is any thing but an enviable.
Some years ago he became mixed up
in politics on this side of the river,
and on account of being an American
citizen was slapped in the face in the
public street and had to leave the
city. Since then he has been mixed
up in several squabbles, always get
ting the worst of it, and
was shot in Rio Grande
City over another election sguabble.
He recently published a small paper
at ranch in Nueces county and is
now wanted here for libel on account
of an article published in that paper.
Last night, after the circulation of
the circular above referred to, man
named Benson, the foreman of Garza's
paper, was arrested on the plaza as
he is co-defendant with CARA in
the libel suits. He is in Jail, unable
to give bond. The general opinion
is that the whole thing is a
hoax, and the reports sent out last
night that CARA had crossed
with fifty men are discredited here
by all people who know and who be-
live him to be coward. 1t is known
that Sandoval is not with him, as he
is in Galveston or New Orleans.
There may be some scheme connected
with the report, and it is believed to
be the prevention of Garza's arrest on
the capias from this county, which is
out for him, and he knows he has no
sympathy here and that he will be
severely dealt with should he be ar
rested.
