The LIGHT was informed yester.
day afternoon, by an employee OF
the Southern Pacific, that A. H
Brady, a bridgeman on the South
ern Pacific, at Pecos Canyon, cut
ID. o. Pickett, another bridgeman
on the same road. The morning
paper stated, in the dispatch from
Langtry, that Pickett stabbed
Brady. The stab is in the region
of the heart, and is a dangerous
wound. w. J. Mellor, the foreman
of the gang, shot Brady, also in the
region of the heart. Mellor is I'M
der arrest, and will be given an eX-
amining trial today at Del Rio,
where he was lodged in jail. Brady,
who is wounded, is also under ar
rest, charged with stabbing Puck
EFT. Both are at present under
medical treatment, and when
Brady has sufficiently recovered he
will be given an examining trial to
answer the charge.
1t is not known how the trouble
originated, but the shooting and
cutting took place at Pecos Canyon,
where the force is engaged tearing
up the old track and taking down
bridges and repairing the road.
Mellor's wife is Judge Roy
Beams daughter. He is we'll
known and highly esteemed
gentleman, and it is the general
opinion that he acted in accordance
with justice.
HOW BOYS GET HURT.
Every evening a number of small
boys make it practice to shave a
little fun" on the boX-cars at the
Sunset depot. This "fun" is Oftimes
accompanied by some accident.
The boys are in constant danger to
play on railway cars, and when
they are hurt the blame is attach
ed to the company.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Charles
Fahey, the popular agent, noticed
a number of these little Gratis" as
he termed them, leaping from one
car to another, and to avoid an
accident he telephOned for the
police. Officer Rogers immediately
responded and his unexpected APP
pearance on the scene so fright
ened the little Gratis" that they
cut loose and flew in all directions,
some of them forgetting their
coats, which they found necessary
to take off in order to be more
nimble. Many a man has been
rendered a cripple for life, which
he can attribute directly to play
ing on railway cars or around the
track while boy.
RECEIVED WITH CHEERS.
The first train of the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas, the victor in
the injunction suit, was run into

bled at the Union depot to greet it.
The first through train from Chi
cago arrived at Galveston this
morning at 1913 o'clock and was

THE FIRST WOOL.
The first wool for the fall season
of 1898 arrived over the Southern
Pacific yesterday from the west.
1t is consigned to Colonel II. c.
Frost. 1t is generally believed
that wool will not be clipped much
this season, as the low prices will
not warrant it.
ALONG THE RAILS.
General superintendent Robert
II. Innes of the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass is in Galveston in
the interest of the road.
Twenty-Five cars of steamer
freight passed through the city
