The mayor il mistaken when he
says the editor of The News went
to him and said he had made the
best mayor he ever cav. The facts
are as follows: Some time before
the campaign opened, short while
after the salary of the mayor was
raised by the council, the mayor was
met on the sidewalk in front of
Sanger's store, and was asked if he
would not be a candidate again for
re election, reference being made
to the increased salary. The mayor
said he would. In reply he was
told that in the judgment of THE
NEWS he had made much better
mayor the last term than he did the
first. Perhaps the mayors estimate
of his first administration warranted
him in drawing the conclusion that
it was equivalent to saying the best
ever seen, but it was not by any
means the thought expressed.

the secretary the right to issue
them, to agree to the coinage of the

The mayor says the sLric lures OF
THE News upon his administration
Of public aft airs is doing the city
greater harm than his failure to en-
force the law. That is merely his
opinion, aud from the encourage
ment THE News is re ceiving it is
not believed that opinion is shared
in by the majority Of the citizens
Of Waco. Against the mayor per-
sonally, THE News has no criticism
to make, but his ad ADMINISTRATION of
public affairs in the matter Of en-.
forcing the law against g .mbling
and Sunday opening of saloons is
open to criticism, and THE Ne VS.
has awaited itself of the privilege
which gives to the ne vspape- in
common with every citizsn the
right to commend or adversely ori-
ticise the administration of public
aft sirs by chosen officials. In it's
efforts to defeat the present admin
istration and to elect Bart Moore
mayor, this paper is not fighting for
men but it is laboring for the real
good of this city, it is fighting to
make open violations of law odious
in the sight and in the estimation
of the people of Waco, which can
never be accomplished SO long as
those charged with the duty of en-
forcing the laws permit them to
be constantly violated in a manner
so open and hagrant as to become

me a job as teamster. | met Lake that
day and asked him to come with me.
I'VE beat our Way on freight trains until
I'VE reached the town where the first
shooting took place. We wanted to
board the train there and saw
an officer standing on top of car. He
told us we could not get in and he then
went to the caboose. We followed him
and he threatened to shoot us. where
upon we both drew our revOlvers and
otired at him. We ran away after seeing
that we had shot the man and caught a
return freight toward the city. Early
this morning we were in the coal car
near Mayfair when we were discovered.
l heard some one remark:
a snow there are the fellows" and in
a short time | saw man whom | pre-
sumo was police officer coming to-
ward the car in which we were. [ did
not propose being taken by him, so
EDrew My Revolver
and shot him. After that we left that
car aud started to run along the roads.
When we were cornered in the corn
field we were so tired and hun
cry we could not see what we
were doing. Whenever we drew
our revolvers and took aim it
appeared as if we were looking at a
dozen different people. 1t was not our
intention to be taken alive if we could
help it. but after we were both wounded
we were so weak that we decided 10
give up. When we went into that
caboose attached to that freight car
we decided to make all that
we could out of it. We
got that officers watch and chain. but
we could not find any money on him.

acts which he and German had done.

FUSION IN NEBRASKA.
Democrats Considering Alliance
With POpuliSts

OMAHA. Neb., Aug. 25.-Nebraska
Democrats held conference today
to discuss fusion with the Populists.
The question uppermost was whether
the party can consistently indOrse the
nomination OF Judge Holcomb. There
is strong sentiment among the Jack
sonian wing of the local Democratic
party favorable to such course, but
the idea is being strongly opposed by
many prominent Democrats who urged
the nomination of straight Demo
cratic ticket. Those whe look with
favor upon Holeomb contend that a
straight ticket. if put up. would mean
the election of the Republican ticket.
No decision was reached, and another
meeting will be held next week.
