preston of the people at the primaries.
without division of the vote, ~Eas an
suspicious opening OF the campaign
which is to have for its slogan the sim
gle cry, Fort Worth.
The choice of the candidate speaks
better than platform or resolutions
could do, the aim of the party in Sc
lecting him. His election means, as
friend and opponent must concede, an
administration OF and for Fort Worth,
characterized by an energy that viii
more than atone for whatever of sloth-
fitness may have existed in the past.
Every friend of the development of
Fort Worth, OF whatever politics, can
go to the polls and vote Tor Capt. Pad
dock for mayor. with the consciousness
that he has cast vote for the good Of
the town. and for the advancement of
every. interest in it.
The next thing TO do is TO prepare to
give Capt. Paddock such vote as will
reassure every on-looker of the fact
that on the question of Fort Worth's
upbuilding there is no division in the
city Of any Importance.

BRENNAN, WASHINGTON COUNTY, TEX,
Feb 21.-Just week ago the Santa F'e
south bound passenger train, consisting of
an engine and six coaches, was wrecked
two and one-half miles north of this city by
a draw-head strap being fastened across
the rails. The company offered reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the
perpetrator of this dastardly crime, and
this of course stimulated officers to a
greater exertion to capture the culprit,
and their efforts have been re-
warded and Otto Keike now Ian
guishes in the Washington county
jail charged with the crime, having been
brought in last night by Constable c. C.
Boyd of this CITY, who made the arrest at
the home of the young mans father, nine
miles north of here, near Gay Hill.
THE GAZETTE young man visited the jail
this morning for the purpose of
interviewing the alleged train wrecker, and
heard from his own lips his confession.
Otto Keike is slender lad of about seventeen
or eighteen years of age, light complexioned,
thin faced, and is what might be styled a
country greenhorn," appearing to be half
witted, and when asked if he was
the young man that wrecked the south
bound passenger train last Sunday evening
he said without any apparent concern or
without any seeming realization of the enor
nifty of the offense that he was.
Later-Constable Boyd was seen, and
from him it was learred that railway de-
tectiYe had been working with him in the
case, and that last night it was decided to
make the arrest, and he went to
the house and that the boy
made the confession to him before
he made the arrest, and other developments
are expected. 1t may be that other wrecks
that have occurred in that vicinity were
not mere accidents, but the work of train
wreckers, also. The officers admitted that
they knew more than they were willing to
give to the public just at present

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Feb. 22-The report
reached here to-day that Catarlno Garza,
the revolutionary leader, had been cap
tured by Mexican troops in the state Of
Tamaulipas, and summsrjly shot.
Plutarco Elinelas, Mexican consul
here, and al military department
headquarters, and it was learned that the
report was unfounded.
\ dispatch was received here this even
ing. however, stating that detachment Of
United States troops, under command Of
Capt. George F. Chase, last night made
tonic Gonzales, the father-in-law of Cara
at Palito Blanco. A search of the
residence was7made, but no reyolutionists
were found. The troops then proceeded 10
a large cattle barn, which they surrounded
They were just preparing to make q search
of the interior when half
dozen men, mounted on powerful
the structure, The troops were
taken completely by surprise, and only
made one capture, although q number Of
shots were fired. The leader was mounted
on a large gray horse, which was wounded
by bullet from one of the soldiers guns
The rider dismounted and quickly disap-
peared in the dense chappara.l
that they recognized the saddle and horse
as that which the willy leader has used
throughout the whole trouble. Thers can
be no doubt but that the man was
not Cara. 1t is asserted on
good authority that the latter has not
been in Texas for at least two months, and
that the United States troops are being i'm
posed upon by few of his followers, one
of whom was riding the horse which was
formerly Il e property Of Cara. This man
resembles Cara somewhat in personal
appearance, and, in fact, 1t is very
HARD for strangers to distinguish one Next
can from another their general appearance
is so similar.
The pommel of Garza's saddle is now in
with silver dollars, surrounded by smaller
pieces of silver. 1t is of fantastic pattern
and splendidly decorated.
1t is asserted by the friends of CARA that
the latter made his escape from this coun-
try by going 10 Point Isabel at the mouth
of the Rio Grande, where he boarded
schooner loaded with bananas and
landed at Havana, Cuba, the latter
part of December. He realized
at that early stage OF the
game that nothing could be accomplished
toward overthrowing President Diaz, and
decided to save his own neck by getting out
of the reach of both governments.
A few of his most enthusiastic, or rather,
the most desperate of his sup,
porters, have been carrying on tho
movement in spasmodic sort
of way ever since, leading the deluded
United States troops many long and
fruitless chases. These military ma
neuvers have cost the government no
less than one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, anu nothing whatever in the way
of success has been obtained by all this ex-
penditure.

CAPT. PADDOCK has for twenty
years been an ardent. untiring worker
for Fort Worth. As mayor of the city
his opportunity for this chosen life
work would be greater. Fort Worth
should evince its appreciation of his
services by unanimous election.
Such choice OF such man would in
itself be of benefit to the city, since it
would signify that Fort Worth had
united for en- old time rally and effort.
An effort of this kind at this time
would produce results surprising to
Fort Worth's wn people.

A duel was fought in the suburbs of this

persons, one named Juan Flores and the
other unknown. The result was that
Flores body was found just back of the
Catholic graveyard with bullet hole
through his bladder and bowels, from the
effect of which he died shortly after he was
discovered by the police, who heard the
shots and went to the scene. Flores is a
stranger here. and the name of the person
who killed him is unknown, although a
man has been jailed who witnessed the af-
fair, but he denies all knowledge OF the
personnel of the duelists. 1t is thought they
came to this side OF the river from Mexico
to settle their differences, with the above
result, and 1t is known that the survivor
fed toward the Rio Grande, pistol in hand.
The dead man has no friends or relations
here and the identity OF the other is I'M

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 22.-The news of "a
horrible murder and the story of cannibal-
ism near Rays Mills has been received.
Lucy President, degraded, idiotic negro
woman left her home and nine months old
infant in charge of her two elder
children, Mark and Lima, aged
respectively eleven and nine years. After
her departure it seems Mark resolved upon
putting the infant out of the way. Pro-
curing an AK he deliberately knocked it in
the head and mangled its body in different
places. Not content with this heinous
crime, he took fork and
gouged out the eyes of the little
one, which he roasted, and then taking
slice out of either jaw, he and his sister sat
down to feast. When asked if he really
ate the brains and eyes, the little fiend
said: Eyes, and they tasted good" When
the mother returned and found what had
been done she did not show the least sign
of grief-on the contrary she went to the
residence of some white people near by and
told them with grin, suggestive of the
imbecile that she is, that her baby was
dead
