FIGHTING FOR SPOILS.
YoAKUM AND MAoNAMARA
COME TO BLOWS.
There Is Lively Internal War in the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway
Management-Process For Re-
moval and Criminal Warrants.

Special TO The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, May 24.-There was
another sensational and unexpected
development this evening in the San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass railway
receivership muddle when petition
was filed by President Uriah Lott and
the bondholders of the road in the
Forty fifth Judicial district court for
the removal Of Joint Receiver j. S.
MacNamara. In few minutes after
the filing of the petition A. g. Cooper,
the auditor of the road, was arrested
upon an affidavit sworn out by b. f.
Yoakum, the other joint receiver,
charging him with embezzling in hav-
ing made knowingly false entry on q
certain book of accounts kept by G.
s. Wheeling, cashier of the receivers
of the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
Railway company, with intention to
defraud. The affidavit charges that
Cooper caused Wheeling to write in
the book referred to a balance on hand
in excess of the true balance the
amount of $6500, when Wheeling did
not have such a balance on hand, it
having previously been fraudulently
taken by Cooper and converted to
his own use. Cooper gave
bond in the sum of $4,000.
The records show that Mr..
Cooper filed instructions that in case
anything happened him his wife was
to pay the claim. The petition for the
removal OF Mcnamara is presented by
the attorney for the reorganization,
the attorneys for the bondholders and
by Denman and Franklin, who were
supposed to represent Yoakum. 1t
alleges that Mcnamara has fraudu-
lently altered vouchers and fraudu-
lently sought to obtain money from
the road, that he is addicted
to gambling, that he is insolvent and
that he and Auditor Cooper have con-
spired to secure the removal of Receiv-
or Yoakum. The court is prayed to
order an Investigation by special
master in chancery' The two receiv-
ers had personal collision this after
noon in which an exchange of blows
was passed. No serious harm was
done The result of the contest will
be a thorough display of the conduct
of the receivership from its inception.

The primary was largely attended
last Saturday. The Hogg men took

FIRE AT WICHITA FALLS.
The Most Destructive Ever Experienced by
That Plucky City.
Special to the Statesman.

Special to the Statesman.
WICHITA FALLS, Tex, May a.
One of the most disastrous fires in the
history of this city occurred at 8
o'clock this morning, which burned
six of the most substantial buildings
on Indiana avenue, all being of brick
and stone. One of the most ex-
citing features of the confagration
was caused by the repeated explosion
of an immense amount of ammunition
and powder in j. G. Ziegler's store.
The rattling of bullets as case after
case of Winchester shells exploded
aud the volleys upon volleys as
the cannisters of powder
caught, the whole eliminating in an
awful crash which blew out the whole
of the front of the store, and quickly
cleared the streets of all unnecessary
spectators. Another remarkable Cir
cumstance was the unaccountable
bursting of the Panhandle National
bank vault, causing loss of documents
and records.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
When first discovered it was in the
wareroom of j. G. Zeigler, back of his
hard ware store. The hook and ladder
company, assisted by many
citizens, did noble work, considering
the supply of water afforded them.
The total loss is figured on from
$4,000 to 100000, with about $4,000
insurance.

meant and does mean men only.
