KILLED INSTANTLY,
Leo Mechler, a Two Year Old
Child, the Subject,

About the hour Of 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, the sad news of the sudden
death Of little Leo, the two year old son
of Valentine Mechler, German who
keeps saloon on West Commerce street,
was circulated over the city, the cause
being street car which ran over the
child on Commerce street, short dis
lance west of the |. & G.. n. track.
The boy In question was busily engaged
in playing with two companions, on the
street car track. when car No. 60, on the
Lakeview line, came along at very
speedy gait. running, il is presumed. at
the rale of eight miles an hour. The
motorman, Charles Cohen, who has al
ways been recognized as an almost perfect
operator, seeing the children, rang his
gong, and the little ones ran off the track.
BY some means Leo stepped again onto the
track just as the car had arrived to the
spot and he was struck, killed and dragged
some twenty feet, before the car was
checked. His face was mashed, his skull
crushed and portion of his brains were
found lying quite a distance from his
body. He was taken by his father to his
home at l926 West Commerce street and
coroner was summoned.
Later the mounted officers arrived, and,
learning the particulars, arrested Cohen
and he was placed under 81 900 bond by
Justice Adam, which he soon procured
He was speechless; his mind was wander
ing and it was some little time before the
poor man could regain his right mind.
When questioned concerning the matter
he said:
81 was coming from the International
and Great Northern depot, when the chil1
came toward me. | Stacked mp when
got to it, but just then 1t turned away and
/ again put on the current. The child
must have stumbled and fallen under the
wheels as | was passing it,"
Mr.. Cohen unquestionably did his part
and had the boy done as his companion
did, he would probably have been still
living. The affair is terrible blow to
his parents, and the news of the accident,
when heard by his mother, caused her to
almost expire from grief. The child will
be buried this afternoon.

changing the TO an and adding two IS;
he will cease to write under nom de
plume.
C. b. ought to be muzzled. first thing he
knows old Dillardo will tell him that If
Jim Newcomb is working so hard for the
sweep of the ring ticket, he ought to be
let alone, because then they are working
in partnership.
Wherever you see Vote for B. Gala
CHAN for County Judge" card In the
county, you will also see the J. P. Camp
bell card. Mr.. Campbell is true TO his
/ ticket, therefore he is not the man to
blame.
Jim Newcomb never changed his poll
tics for federal judgship.
There is a circle within ring here, see
CasSiano, Smith and Callaghan for an
example.
George Altgelt has no muzzles for c. B.
scribblerS.
Truth. has been stretched into unrecog-
liable proportions in the statement that
the Schrammites will put Mr.. Nelson on
their ticket for surveyor.
Mr. Ellis is certainly a much bigger
man than George PaSchal, but votes
count more than size next month.
When Thockmorton, Ross, Maxey,
Shepard, Cook, Epson, Tarver, Walton,
Houston, Miller, Elgin, Matlack, Wooten,
Gerald and their followers get killed,
there will not be OK carts enough to carry
their remains to democratic cemetery.
Pink Hill, OF the Houston Post, has had
the bowel complaint ever since he swa-
lowed Hogg.
One thousand dollars reward for each of
the murderers of negro rapist may not
be too high to suppress crime and catch
votes, but $3.50 for sheriff elected by the
law abiding people on the Rio Grande,
and $500 for one in Williamson county,
seems rather small.
Farmer Shaw ought not to have made
the Pope of Rome ridiculous, our Catho-
lies will resent this mode of Hogg cam
paigning.
If the governor would consent to spend
a Sunday among US we will show him the
most orderly city in the state, ''even If he
has to keep his eyes shut" most Of the
time so as not to see our opposition to
SumptuOus laws.

ating force in and around this city is full
and there ia no obstruction of any kind to
Its freight service except by lawless inter
ference. He says: "The delay in freight
transportation on the lines of this
company during the past two days has not
been due to dissatisfaction or a strike on
the part of the oompany's employees. It
has simply been owing to the fact that the
properly constituted authority of the city
and county has been unable to furnish
protection to those in the company's ser
vice to continue in performance of their
1'ittes. ann not aware of any difference
'r grievance now existing between this
company and its employees. It seems to
me Inappropriate and unnecessary to con-
sent to the arbitration you suggest"
