A DALLAS SHOOTING.
ACTING MAYOR HARRY HAS 4 NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
His 1rate Book-Keeper After Telling Him
to Defend Himself Deliberately Fires
Six Shots at His Employer
The Wounds Not Serious.
Special to The Statesman.


DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 26.-This morn
ing o. X. Harry, a heavy manu-
facturer Of this city, an alderman and
now acting mayor, during the absence
OF Mayor Connor, was shot in his
office by his book-keeper, named
Lyme. The real cause Of the trouble
Is hard to get at. 1t appears that
yesterday Harry had Il conference
with Lyme, in which he told him that
in view Of the fact that for some
time there would be increased
work in the offices he had
employed Il lady stenographer and
she would report for work Wednes-
day morning The young lady en-
ployed was Miss Lula Estes from TT.
Worth, who has come highly recon-
mended. She reported for work this
morning and was present at the time
of the shooting.
While Harry was seated at his desk
Lyme came to him, threw statement
on his desk and said: "Here is what
you owe me, | am going to quit Mr..
Harry said he was surprised and
asked him "what is this for" to
which Lyme responded "that there
is undetermined business going on and
l am going to quit" Mr.. Harry stated
that before he could reply Lyme said
&C d-n you, defend yourself; your
pistol is in your drawer At this
Lyme began shooting. The first hall
hit Harry's ear, the next shot struck
the wall, while the third hit Hary's
wrist. At this Harry grappled with
his assailant, and during the tussle
that followed two more shots were
fired, but neither took effect. Harry
threw Lyme, but was forced
to turn him loose, as Lyme
got Harry's thumb between his
teeth, nearly severing that member
from the hand. At this juncture in
came Jimmy Harry, nephew of O.
X. Harry, and with a hammer hit
Lyme three powerful blows on the
head. Harry then pushed Lyme from
the room. He then got his pistol, and
to his surprise found it empty. Lyme
afterwards stated that he had eX-
tracted the balls from his employers
pistol early in the morning.
Lyme says that he had eX-
pected trouble with Harry, and
for that reason had unloaded
the pistol. He also intimated that
there was great scandal back of the
affair, but scarcely anyone believes
that theory. Lyme has been drinking
this morning and it is thought he had
an idea that he was to be discharged
on account of Miss Estes having been
employed. Lyme was charged with
assault with intent to murder. He
waived examination and his bail was
fixed at $1,000, which he gave. Lyme

Troy. n. Y, Aug. 28.-Ihe whole
eastern part Of Rensaaler county was
deluged by u cloud burst last evening
which made raging torrents Of noun
tain streams and caused them to leave
destruction in their path. Glass lake
and Sand lake overlooked and
sent torrents through the valley Of

washed out at Sand Lake. a damage
of $iO0, 900 was done to mills and sew

Smarts' paper mill in this city one
end of the mill was torn out, bridge
was carried away and a damage Of
so $50 was done. Bridges all along
the stream were torn from their fas-
tcning and it is believed that the
damage will surely reach S5OO,OOO. In
the valley the storm was equally as
extensive and vt Berlin houses were
washed away and two persons
drowned. Travel on the Lebanon

THE DAMAGE NEAR BERLIN.

BERLIN, n. y, Aug. 2S.-Ihe cloud
burst over this town and the town Of
Petersburg last night was followed by
Il flood that did damage unparalleled
in this vicinity. Had it occurred
after the people had gone to bed the
loss of life would have been awful.
AS it WAS the wife of Fhos. Taylor was
drowned in her home in sight OF her
husband. James Smith was found
d 1ad standing in mud up to his neck,
horribly mangled, about a half mile
from his barn, in which
he was last seen alive. The
Lebanon Springs railroad between
h re and Petersburg is washed
away into the meadows for many rods
in IL half dozen places. The large rail
road bridge is also gone, besides scores
more of highway bridges. SSAll the
streams were so much
swollen that seemingly irreparable
da mage has been done. Meadows are
ruined, and the crops in the line OF
the flood are destroyed.
A part Of the village of Petersburg,
lying near the little Hossack, is COM
pletely wrecked. A score of residences
and workshops are washed from their
foundations and large quantity of
personal property has been destroyed.

GAINESVILLE. Tex, March 23.-News
ras brought to this city yesterday OF a
.arrible outrage committed by White
'aps in Temple Saturday night, in which
Assistant superintendent Van Fleet. of
the Sante Fe railroad, aged 50 years, and
,pr.yate detective of the company were
he sufferers. While these men were on
heir way, about 10 o'clock Saturday
qicar. from the superintendent Office to
Van Fleets residence, they were con-
.rapted by quad of masked men wit,
iraHu revolvers who compelled the two
omarch before the mob to the outer edge
D.. the town, where the detective was
made to take off his clothing.
Most Horrible Atrocitv.
He was then whipped almost to death
On his bare back with horsewhips. The
official, beholding the terrible punishment
Inflicted upon the detective, cried and
begged most pitifully to be spared from
the awful ordeal He was informed bv
the rudian> tnat they would spare him if
he would leave the town at once never to
return This he agreed to do. The
whipped man was reclothed and marched
1f IN one direction, followed by number
o. " hlte-C Caps, and Van Fleet was taken
ia an opposite direction by others of the
gang to small station a few mi les south
Of Temple, where he boa rded a train and
lptJ for Galveston.
Why He Was Ordered Away.
Both Van Fleet and the detective were
forbidden 10 ever show their faces in Tenn
pie again under penalty of death. Van
Fleet was charged some time ago with
having said that there were no ladies in
Temple This remark aroused a bad feel
ne against him, and he was waited Oh by
number of men and given only few
hours to leave town, which he did in short
orier but one day last week returned
again, accompanied by his family, alrl
again he entered upon his official work
with The Santa Fe company. He has ben
very unpopular with the Santa Fe m
1oyes under him.
