THE TRIAL OF YOUNG TYLER.
FOUR ABLE LAWYERS TO DEFEND
THE CAROLINE COUNTY SLAYER.

Review of the Fatal Ending Of This
Quarrel Between Two Farmers.
EAsFON, Nov. 26.-William Preston
Tyler who will be put on trial for his life
in the Circuit court for Talbot county on
Monday next for killing William Leon
ard Shaw, in Caroline county July If,
1892, is native of Delaware county.
Pennsylvania, where his father, a
wealthy dairy farmer now lives His
paternal grandfather was Hugh Tyler.
rich man, who owned among other
property 1000 acres of land in Provi
dence township, New Jersey. His
mothers father Is Jacob Weaver, a
wealthy Philadelphian, and William
Henry Miller, one of the richest men in
Delaware county, is his first cousin.
Tyler family and relatives are stand
ing by him in his trouble They have
visited him several times in Denton Jail
and furnish him with all the money he
needs to conduct his defense. Tyler is
"a years old, rather under the average
size, weighing about 1870 pounds. He is
five feet four inches tall, has jet black
hair and dark eyes He is rather good
looking His appearance is very youth
full
The incidents connected with the
homicide are few. Tyler, the slayer of
Shaw, and Shaw's father, who was with
his son when he was killed, are the only
two men who can tell them accurately.
The case, as developed before the jury of
inquest by the testimony of the
elder Shaw was this: Young Tyler
and the Shaws lived on different parts
Of large tract of land belonging to
George NJ. Tyler, the prisoners father.
There was a dispute about some farm
implements. On the morning of the
homicide the elder Shaw sent his son
Leonard to Tylers to get a plow which
he alleged Tyler had Fearing there
might be trouble he followed, and. ac-
cording TO his statement, before reaching
! Tyler's he heard pistol shot, and met his
son, who was coming in a run toward
him. Both men went back to Tylers, an
aflray ensued, accounts of which will
probably be given on the witness stand by
Shaw and by Tyler. IL ended In Leonard
Shaw being killed by pistol ball, and
the father hit by another ball and
slightly wounded. Tyler claims the
shooting was done in selfdefense. The
case was removed to Talbot for the Oc-
tober term Of the circuit court upon pc
tition Of Tyler's counsel Major William
Il. Stewart and Colonel Philip w.
Downes, Of Denton, will repres ent the
state. The counsel for the accused are
Senator Charles II. Gibson and his law
partner, Charles S. Darlington, OF Talbot,
and George NJ. Russum and Henry r.
Lewis, of Caroline.
The Shaws are Canadians. They re-
moved TO Caroline county in 1888. They

had been removed to an apartment be-

called a pupil from his seat and said :
Johnnie, run down stairs and ask for

the little boy came up and said; "Please.

The Jay Gould party left st. Louis night

the wizards favorite. Last night was
spent in Little Rock, and, judging from a
telegram seen by GAZETTE man yester-
day, Mr.. Gould will probably spend sew
eral hours in Texarkana to-day, or perhaps
take run over to Hot Springs. The
party is taking.it easy, and will probably
not arrive at Fort Worth before Saturday.
Mr.. Gould has entirely recovered from his
slight indisposition, which caused a post
ponement of his departure for the South
and West last week, and will no doubt be
prepared to spend little more time than
usual with his many Fort Worth friends.

''A comparison of the results will show
at glance and without further comment,
the standard and average quality of the
ores.
1t is unnecessary to multiply examples
further. For all purposes of comparison
those that are here presented will amply
suffice. An examination of the analyses
here given, of the authenticity of which
there can be no doubt, shows:
l, That the LlanO county ores are richer
in metallic iron than those of any of the
Lake Superior regions, the famous Corn
wall ore bank, or the Santiago de Cuba
mines.
2. That the percentage of phosphorus
is exceedingly small, and so far below the
Bessemer limit as to establish beyond doubt
the utility of the ores for steel-making by
the ordinary or acid process.
8. That the value OF the Llano county
ores IS enhanced by the notable absence OF
sulphur in their composition.
4. That the element Of silica enters into
the composition of the ores only in a very
low percentage, which would in no wise
prove detrimental in iron or steel making.
An auction sale of lots will be held during
the month Of April, to which all are invited.
In the meantime we solicitit an inspection
of the resources upon which we shall surely
build a city. We especially invite the at
tention of the homeseeker and the business
and professional man looking for a more

Immense veins Of bessemer ore lie

Immense veins Of beSsemer ore lie ex-
posed on the surface of the ground
Shafts have been sunk for fifty feet
alongside the Iron Mountain mine, and it
has been found that the vein has increased
four feet in going down that distance, be-
ing twenty-five feet wide at that depth.
Shafts have also been put down in other
mines, and the result was equally satisfac-
tory.

quote from the last state geological report,
page 631:
''The magnetites and hematites are abun-
dant. and they, with the manganese ores,
have been so clearly mapped by the geo
logical survey that in the event of the es-
adjustment of steel works to handle this
material in or out of the district, there will
be no question of the supply being ade-
ouate. There is enough of the very best
bessemer ore to build up an industry far in
excess of the requirements Of the South
west for long years to come, even with
growth far beyond the calculations of the
most sanguine advocates. There viii IN
doubtedly be a demand from without for
these hard ores, and the shelters of East
ern Texas are beginning to realize the adj
vantage of mixing them with their own
abundant soft ores. Already movement is
well under way to make such railroad con-
nections as are necessary to ship to the
Alabama furnaces, which now draw their
supply of hard ores from Lake Superior,

the future great prominence of Central
