Reported He VIII Have Fine Position
the Mexican Central.

Reported a
the Mexican Central.
Saturday evening the news was wired
from Chicago that II. r. NickersOn, for
three years past the general superinten-
dent of the Santa Fe, with headquarters
at this place, had resigned the position to
accept the position of assistant general
manager of the Mexican Central under
A. A. Robinson, of this city, who is pres
ident.
A visit to Mr.. Frey, the general man
ager, confirmed the story, and further
revealed the fact that Mr.. NickersOn's
place will be filed by II. .. Nudge, now
general superintendent of the western
grand division at Colorado Springs.
Charles Dyer, now superintendent at Las
Vegas, will succeed Mr.. Nudge. j. E.
Hurley, assistant superintendent at Fort
Madison, and formerly of Topeka, will
ucceed Mr.. Dyer. Charles Strohm, now
rainmaster at Arkansas City, will sue
Iced Mr.. Hurley.
Geo. S. Hawks, now trainmaster on the
Panhandle, will succeed Mr.. Strohm, and
Chas. III. Winter, now chief train dis
patcher of the same division, will sue
coed MIR. Hawks. All of these changes
will take effect on June 10th.
Mr.. Nickerson said to JOURNAL re-
porter: sit is true that have resigned"
said he, ''but l am not at liberty at pres
ent to say just where l am going. As
soon as my resignation takes effect [ and
my family VIII go TO New England Tor
short visit, after which l shall accept
position that has been offered me.
see it has been stated by an
out of town paper that Mr.. Frey and 1
are not on friendly terms. The story is
fabrication. Mr.. Frey and myself have
never had an unpleasant word and l am
on very good terms with every person 1
know in the Santa Fe employ. 1 shall
greatly regret to leave Topeka and my
place here but the fact of the matter is
have a chance to better my condition and
naturally l will take it,"
1t is understood Mr.. NickersOn's future
home will be the City of Mexico.
Mr.. Nickerson's promotions on the
Santa Fe have been rapid. Less than
twenty years ago he began at the bottom
of the ladder as brakeman on the
southwestern division and was soon pro-
NOTED to a conductorship out of Pueblo.
He left that position to become the train
dispatcher at Newton and IN due time to
be train master and then to division
superintendent of the same division.
His next promotion to the general
superintendency of the Chicago division
from which place he came to Topeka to
take the one he has just resigned.

DESPERATE NEGRO KILLED.

At a late hour yesterday after
noon "Buck" Moores, brother of
Sheriff Chas. H, Moores, and 4 well
known farmer of Bowie county, came
into the city from McGilrs Mills,
six miles West from this place, and
surrendered himself to the proper
officials, stating that he had been
compelled, in defence of his own
life, to shoot and kill a desperate
negro known rs Bill Scott, the kill
ing having taken place at the mill
mentioned, some hours earlier in the
day. We could not obtain all of the
particulars of the tragedy, but
learned sufficient of the circumstan-
ces to convince us that Mr.. Moore's
statement, to the officers, was sub
stantially correct, From all ac-
counts the negro, Scott, has borne
an exceedingly tough reputation
for years, both among the negroes
and white people Of the neighbor-
hood, in which he lived, and where
he was regarded with fear by the
former and suspicion by the latter.
Mr. Moore's preliminary eXamina-
tion for the killing, will be held at
once and there is no doubt express
ed, by those at all acquainted with
the circumstances, but that he will
be fully justified in the act, by the
evidence adduced.

ARKANSAS HOMEsEEKERs.
The Real Estate Men of the State to
Meet and Organize.

The tide of immigration setting
in from all parts Of the country to
Arkansas has shown the necessity
of some organization among real
estate agents and dealers for the
purpose of making known through
some general source the location
and value and character Of lands
for sale in the various parts Of the
State. The necessity for some
such organization has frequently
been urged both by the State Off
cials and private citizens of Arkan-
sas. The constant agitation of
this, most important subject, both
by press and people, has borne the
desired fruit, and S. c. Dowell, a
real estate broker of Walnut Ridge,
Ark, has issued the following cir
cular to real estate men calling for
a meeting of the real estate dealers
of Arkansas, at Little Rock, May
9th, next, to effect the desired
agreement. The following is a copy
of the circular;
Believing that the development
of Arkansas has reached that stage
which justifes the concurrent and
reciprocal action of all persons ac-
lively interested in the develop
ment of the material resources of
the State, especially those who are
engaged in the sale and exchange
of real estate, you are earnestly in
vited to meet with other gentle
men similarly interested, at the
State House in the city of Little
Rock, on the 22d day of May, proxi-
mo, for the purpose Of considering
measures for the organization Of an
association Of the real estate agents
and dealers, throughout the State.
"You are authorized to extend
this invitation to any citizen of the
State who may desire to participate
in the proposed NEE ting. The
chief purpose of the projectors o.
the proposed organization is to ad
vance the knowledge and intererest
of all persons engaged in the lloca
tion of immigrants throughout the
State, 50 that homeseekers visiting
Arkansas may obtain such informa
tion as they may desire, without
the trouble and expense of travel
ing all over the State.
please let me hear from you al
any early date with an expression
of your views upon the subject
and whether we may expect YOU
presence at the meeting.
Hoping you will give this mat
ter your hearty cooperation,
