facts, as developed in police court are as
follows: Flores was strong Shardein
man. while Delgado was a supporter of
the Paschal ticket. The two had words
on several different occasions, prior to
the election, and hard feelings existed be-
tween them. Last night they met at
Weber's saloon and DeIgado began
to abuse Flores. Ten minutes later
he challenged Flores to fight
duel with pistols, at the same time, dis
playing large revolver. Flores was also
supplied with a gun and one moment
later a murder would have been the re-
suit, had 1t not been for Officer Daniels.

Proof Reader Blount and the
Latter Peppers Lyons
With a Bulldog.

An ARRAY occurred at the northeast
terday evening at sunset that was one of
the most exciting that has bean Witness
ed in this city0fol some time, and attract

very few seconds.
The principals to the affair were Harry

been the telegraph editor of that paper.
Lyons, who married Miss Mary Klock-
lived happily with her, and she brought

the alleged ground of cruelty, which fact
was chronicled at the time of the filing
of the suit. Mrs. Lyons and Mrs. Blount.

friendly and frequently visited each other
and this fact lead Lyons to believe that
the BlOunt family we're instrumental in
causing the breaking up of Lyons homo
and hence he did not feel very amicable
toward them.
On yesterday evening Lyons and several
of the Express printers were Standiug at
the end of the gallery of the EypTeSS
office. bv the bridge, rs BIount and his
wife came down the stairs from the editO-

rushed on him with dirk with which he
struck him on the side of the head near
the right eye, and they then clinched and
fell to the ground. Lyons then drove the
dirk into BlOuntS throat, the blade mar
rowly missing the carotid artery. BY
this time Blount got out IS calibrc

him with the knife. but wildly and broke
the handle from the blade by striking it
against the cement walk on which they

AUSTIN LETTER.

Austin. Tex. Ma

To the San Antonio LIGHT
Austin, Tex, March 3, 1898.
Senator Greer'S resolution to reduce the
membership of the two branches of the
legislature is one that should receive an
unbiased consideration. To those who
oppose the resolution Il would take but
little observation to show them the bene-
fit accruing to the state from the adOp-
ton OfitS measures. Look at the work
done in the two houses during the pres
ent session. Has not the major portion
tiOn been done bv some dozen or so men?
Where is the use or sense in paying a
lot of figure heads five dollars day to
LOOK pretty, yet there are members of the
House Of Representatives who have not
done a thing during the present session.
Barring a motion each morning to Sus-
pend further reading of the journal and
frantic appeals for ayes and nays" half
dozen times an hour, these distinguish
ed SoIOnS have done literally moth
ing. Now the question naturally
arises what good does their presence
in the Legislature do the state? Simply
none at all. They had better be left at
home and save the state the expense OF
supporting them for 60 or 80 days, as the
case may be. At the beginning Of the
present session, when approached by the
writer as to what bills, or action on any
prospective bills, he intended to make,
young representative said: Il do not in
tend to do anything this session. am
only here learning the ropes this
time. | intend running again next
time, and If elected | will probably take
some dish in matters, but this session |
am only learning going through the mill
as it were" l now ask If this is not
pretty how do? Does the state of
Texas intend starting a training school
out of her legislature where aspiring
young lawyers may CLEAN little
intelligence and experience? Ger
tainly such should not be the case.
The laws should be made SO as
to allow a salary that would justify
competent man In accepting the position.
Put twenty good men in the Senate fifty
men in the House pay them good salaries
and. have deliberations that would not
only rebound to the credit Of the state
but also to her interest, while there are
some good men In the present legislature
the assertion still goes that their number
does not run over fifty by any means.
