Death of j. d. Merchant.

The many friends of Mr. John D. Mer-
chant of Vinita, I. T., were deeply grieved
over the receipt of news announcing
his death at his home yesterday.
Mr.. Merchant came to Texas in the early
days, and was well known as frontiers
man and cattleman. For many years he
had occupied a conspicuous place among
the ranchmen of his adopted state, was
well and favorably known as a thor
oughly upright man, blameless in
his private life, generous to a fault, par
ticularly popular among the younger men
Of his day and generation, and in death
leaves behind him a large circle of sorrow
ing friends. He was about ffty-four
years of age, man of family,
and while not ranked as among
the very wealthy ranchmen of
the state, leaves a moderate fortune.
His brother, Mr.. c. II. Merchant, was in
the city in attendance upon the cattle con-
vention. The news of his brothers. death
was telegraphed to him yesterday and he
left on the first train for V uita.

BEATEN BY THE NEGRO MASSEY
One Week Ago, Returns to Consciousness
and Tells of the Horrible Treatment
At the Hands of the Black Brute.
In Jail at Dallas.
Special to the Gazette

SPCIAdA W lLit NrolGbtG
SHERMAN, GRATsoN COUNTY, TEX, March s
Mrs Smith, wife and mother OF the others
who were so horribly beaten one week ago
near the city by the negro, Sam Massey,
now In the Dallas jail, returned to con-
ciouSnesS to-day and tells a story of the
murderous attack by Massey. She saws
that Massey came home with Mr. Smith
The latter being very drunk soon fell 10
sleep. Massey ordered coffee and she saw
by his actions that he was bent on mis-
chief. She ordered him to leave, when he
grapDled her by the throat and tried to
throw her on the floor Finally she cried
out for the little boys TO get up and wake
their father.
Scream after scream from the mother
and her two little boys went up, but the
nearest neighbor was a half mile away.
The brute knew this, and knew also that
the husband was helplessly drunk, and
with no fear of interference, without a
spark of pity for his defenseless prey, he
simply laughed in victorious and lustful ex
ultation and choked his victim down, bit
ing her fingers rs she threw up her hands
to push his gloating, heated face away
Finally the father, shaking of his stupor
in measure, rose up, and Massey. for a
moment relinquishing his hold on his vic
tim, grabbed long stick of wood and with
one blow knocked him senselesS, and in
stautly returning upon the two little bows
dealt them cruel, pitiless, murderous blows
Then he turned again TO the poor woman,
and as her lips parted in a Shrek of hope
less despair he brutally struck her, and as
she struggled to raise up he rained blows
upon her head, shoulders and breast. and
then all was blank with the poor woman
until to-day.
The county attorney says Just as soon as
Mrs. Smith is able to testify the defendant
will be brought back for trial, and there is
