Yesterday morning as the east bound
cannon ball on the Texas and Pacific was
pulling out Of Aledo the engineer saw 4
form lying across the rails. II was Just
breaking day, and the approaching dawn
cast fantastic shadows over the face Of the
country. The engineer merely caught IA
glimpse of the object and whistled. but II
failed to move. He then put on the air,
but it was too late. The cruel iron wheels
of the huge engine passed over the body.
There was one scream of mortal anguish
and that awful crunch of the wheels grind
ing bones. As soon as possible the train
was stopped and the crew ran back to find
a woman and some children bitterly wailng
over some awful black mass of something
on the track. The approaching day gave
sufficient light to distinguish black patches
on the ties, which the trainmeu knew was
blood. With banched faces they APP
preached the group, which fell back as the
approached. and there on the track lay the
horribly mangled remains of the victim.
II was yellow dog.

cutting was a discussion concerning the
merits and dement's Of . brother-in-law of
Dunivan. When the dispute had been in
progress for some time Frazer drew a knife
and commenced slashing at his antagonist

stabbed in the back. This last wound was
