QUARRBLOYER LAND. LAND
A Rich Mexican Claim Causes
 the Shooting.
ONE MAT CATCHES A BALI.
All the Parties Concerned In tine T.. cnS Are Texans and Formerly L vsd In Waco Minister Gray l. \ "
 Making Thorough investigation.

WACO, Tex. Dec. Mrs Robert Brooks received letter from her hus- band giving particulars of the shooting atfray at a hacienda on the Zapotal river. state of Vera Cruz. Mexico. in which w. r. Lewis and Perry Mckay. two Waco men. were the combatants The land ia claimed by Messrs. E. J. Gurley, Dr. H. W. Brown, N. F. Lewis and H. B Taylor of Waco, and also ad- versely by John A. Mckay father of Perry Mckay.
 The McKays formerly resided in Waco, the father being, when here, the proprietor of the Hotel Royal He went from here to Rockport and there he acquired the interest Rockport par ties claimed in the land on the Zapotal river, and coming here he joined with the Waco gentlemen named above, but subsequently, there was quarrel he- tween Mckay and the Waco parties, and in contention for the hacienda John Drayton, United States consul 1o- eated at Tuxpan, hoisted the United States flag and prevented service of pa pers issued at the suit of Colonel E. J. Gurley as managing partner of the Waco claimants.
 This proceeding is being investigated by Minister Gray at the instance of Hon. Walter O. Gresham, whose atten- tion was called to the incident. Col. E. J. Gurley, the managing partner, left Tuesday for Jalapa, which is near the hacienda, to meet Thomas Gilgan, attorney for the Waco interest, with a view to taking such steps as they think necessary in the case.
 Robert Brooks letter says Lewis, the wounded man, will recover. He was at the hacienda to hold it for the Waco parties, and it appears that he had gained possession against the McKays Perry Mckay was also there i'll the in- terest of the other claimants, of which party his father was the head. Lewis had been up the Zapotal river in boat and on his return. just as he landed, the combat occurred which resulted in the wounding of Lewis and the impris- onment of Perry Mckay by the Mexi- can authorities.
 The l2,000 acres of land on the Za7 potal river above Tuxpan, for which E. J. Gurley is contending for his Waco associates against John A. Me Kay and others of Rockport, is de- seribed as immensely valuable. \ large portion of this land belonged to the estate of Senor Ramon Lierena, formerly of the state of Colina, but more recently of Laredo, Tex.
 The account sent by Engineer George B. Gurley of strange trees, birds and animals found in the forests i'll running lines in the vast solitudes in which the company's possessions lie caused fur ther investigation and led some of the members of the company to form a separate partnership for the purchase of the Zapotal river property, on which the hacienda is located, near which the fight occurred in which Lewis was wounded.
