TWO BLoODS FIGHT
At Austin-Glass Bottles and Six.
Shooters.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. Especial. Yes
terday about o'clock J. NJ. Day, late
proprietor and owner of the Driskill
hotel, and Col. VIM. P. Gaines had istic
engagement In a restaurant on the Ave.
nue. arising out of Col Gaines claiming a
commission from Mr.. Day for having
made the deal by which Mr.. Day
disposed of the DriskilI hotel to
Mr. B. Curtis, the. actor. Col. Gaines
insisted that Day owed him the
'c.ommi,sion and was promptly given the
lie. He returned the compliment by
smashing Mr.. Day in the face with his
fist and knocking him up against the
wall. Friends int rfered and the matter
was dropped. Tie gentlemen had short
breathing spell, 0 hOnt two hours, when
they met a gaia in Tie u iskill dining room
at o'clock dinner. Mr.. Day was seated
when Col. Gaines came in. but arose from
his seat and started to the door. reaching
there he turned, walked to .ue table, near
which Col. Gaines was seated, picked up
large cut glass water bottle and pro-
ceeded in a very vigorous manner TO as
certain as to whether Col. Games head or
the bottle was the hardest substance
and which could offer the most resistance.
The first blow felled Colonel Gaines from
his chair TO the floor, whore he quickly
rallied and when he arose an ugly and eX-
tremely formatle six shooter made its ap-
pearance, at the same time being in the
possession of Colonel Gaines. As the
bright light CLEANED on that shining pis-
tol barrel, it was also cleaning
on the hustling forms of guests
and negro walters who were just
going out for few minutes to see a
friend. AS Col Gaines arose to his feet,
aid before he could bring his weapon
into use, he was grabbed from behind and
murder was happily prevented Col.
Gaines wound was dressed ard the at
tending physician saws that while the
wound is a very serious one, he does not
think ANY of the scalp bones are broken.
and the Colonel's recovery will probably
be rapid. Both parties were placed under
arrest but were released on bonds.
Day was fined SO by the Recorder this
morning. Gaines did not appear in court.
as he is pretty badly used up, but he is
reported somewhat better. SHOOT.

What the People are Saying

Alderman Msckey seems determined To
have the city run an opposition tramp
soup house. Some charitable people have
already established soup kitchen; why
should the city try to run opposition to ii!
Does Alderman Mackey want to adver-
tise San Antonio as a poverty stricken
place, or to make IL the southern winter
resort for all the tramps in the land?
II the city is going into the soup busi-
ness, let IL be done on business principals.
As a general thing, the tramps are
healthy set; put them to work, and feed
them. Establish a kitchen in the base
ment OF the city hall, hire a cook, and
feed all the city prisoners.
Happily our city is no. in distressed
conditions; there is no demand on the
part of our resident population for char
w. for free soup. even the tramps pre-
fer to take their chances on the sidewalk
for nickels so that they can take in the
theatres and beer saloons:
just at this crisis it is fortunate that we
are manufacturing community; we
have no factories to close their doors and
empty their operators upon the streets,
while the Democratic party are trying to
enact their free trade tariff law.
What San Antonio wants at this time is

such as waterworks and sewers, so as 10

Miss Minnetta saw one of her nu-
merou admirers in q BARRIERS chair
having a days growth of beard
rasped of with q razor. His face
had been coated with a heavy layer
of white lather, but when she saw
him one side had been scraped clean,
and as he caught a glimpse of her
the unlathered side turned a bright
crimson in deep contrast with the
white side. This has occurred so
often that the indianapolis girls
wonder why there are no blinds to

''Ef dc windows had bins, we

would not look into the windows to
see if their dresses are hanging plumb
they would not see their half shaved

Weather Report for Week Ending
June II.

Another week has passed and the nm
equal distribution OF rainfall Is more not
ticeable than ever. Very little OF no
rain occurred IN the southern part Of
the Territory, while in the north the
rainfall was very heavy, but unfortun-
ately in many localities was accompa-
med by very disastrous hnilstorms. In
some localities these hmlstorms we're so
severe as to utterly ruin crops and even
kill and iniure small stock, but the area
30 severely injured Is very small.
The temperature averaged a little be-
low the normal and all crops in the
northern part made n splendid growth,
where they were not visited by severe
hail. A fine growth Of feed on the cat
tle runges is now assured in the north
ern half Of the Territory, and there is a
bountiful supply Of water in all streams
for irrigation.
In the southern half Of the Territory
the feed on the ranges is suffering for
rain. and the supply OF water for irriga-
ton is getting rather low, though crops
are not receiving injury for want of irri-
cation at present. No damage from
hail IL reported from the south.
The heaviest rainfall reported for the
week in the Territory was 384 inches at
Halls Peak, where il rained for six days
out Of the seven. Other stations report
