ground quite wet. and when the horses
were turned out for the purpose OF
taking them to the public square they
made a break to run out OF town. Mr..
Loving, In attempting to head them on
let his horse run Into small ditch,
and. being clumsy, stumbled two or
three times. fell down. throwing Low

head apparently struck first, and the
horse In trying TO get up rolled over
onto his body, but seemed to be I'M
able to get up. William Miller, con-
stable, who was with him, ran to him
and with the assistance of his brother
pulled the horse OFF. When they raised
him up they spoke to him, but get
ting no answer discovered that he was
not breathing md appeared to be life
less. But In moment or two he be-
gan TO breathe, when he was carried

time before a physician reached him,

entire body was paralyzed. His re-
mains were followed to the last resting
place by a large concourse of sorrow

1t has been several years since Texas
witnessed celebration OF the nation's
natal day on scale suited to the
event Compensated. The state Is not
lacking In patriotic spirit, but the work
OF development has heretofore en-
crossed the attention OF its people.
They have been TOO busy--or thought
they were-to think about celebrations
OF any kind.
A period has been reached In our his
tory when IL behooves us 10 fall in
line with national thought and custom
Is proper, too. that all the citizens OF
the land, old as wen as young. should
have their attention focused Mt least
once a year upon the civic institutions
under which they live and that "a
spirit OF pride and loyalty should be
fostered which In time to come may
be the surest safeguard OF republican
government
Fort Worth should take the lead in

the Democratic party OF Texas will
have formidable opposition In the com
Ing state election. 1t is best that this
fact should be recognized now and
that due preparation should be made
Tor the contest. The extent OF the ac-
cesslons to tho ranks Of the Popullsts
since 1899 cannot be safely estimated.
but that they have made large acces-
sions is evident to every casual OBJ
server. Their early state convention Is
significant OF the hopes of the leaders.
They are fun Of the energy and en-
thusiasm OF confident expectation. and
1t Is unfortunately true that this is
not altogether groundless. Their ticket
Is headed by the strongest man they
could have selected. and 1t will have
vigorous support in every precinct in
the state.
There Is no virtue, but much danger.
In qver-confdence. The Democracy Of
Texas should awake to an appreciation
OF the menace to It's control. The vain
and foolish effort TO arraiFn It In will
full opposition to the masses OF the
people should be abandoned. Now Is
the time Of all times when IT should
speak out in no uncertain tones, rally
Ing the waverlng to Its support and
confusing those who base their hopes
upon the success of the trlmmers and
the late converts to the Democracy of
John Sherman, in their effort to cap
ture the state convention and to an
nounce Its platform.

FROM NORTH TEXAS TOWNS
ONE NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER AT
BLossoM, LAMAR COUNTY.


Blossom. Lamar Co. Tex. June 20
Yesterday Jim Barlow. colered, was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by
another negro named Jim Simmons. AT
about 1880 O'Clock the negro came into
town after physician, and Dr. NJ. l..
Hemennger left with him at once FOR
the scene Of the shooting. Later IN
the evening Or. Heflefnger returned
and from him the reporter learned that
Barlow was shot In the abdomen with
twenty-five or thirty mixed shot, rang
ing In size from turkey TO buckshot.
The doctor thinks at least ten or
twelve shots entered the intestines.
From what be gathered 1t seems that
Barlow and his wife's brother, John
Simmons, were living together, ana
farming on Barlow's place, four miles
northeast OF Blossom. Some time Mon
day mule belonging TO Barlow kick
ed q little sister of Simmons and they
quarrcled over the accident. simmons
left saying he intended to make this
the last quarrel they should have, and
spoke the words In the nature OF
threat.
Tuesday morning Barlow was plow-
Ing IN his field and some other dar-
kies We're working In fields adjoining,
none, however, being nearer to Bar
low than two or three hundred yards.
About IL O'Clock Simmons was seen
to approach his Victim and they are
thought to have exchanged few
words, when the other darkles heard
n loud report and saw Burlow's face.
But, strange 10 say, none OF them
saw the gun with which the shooting
was done.
Simmons made off, and though OH
GERS at once started in pursuit OF him,
at this writing he is still Mt large.
Jerry Hayes, one OF the darlies that
witnessed the shooting. came after DR..
Hetiiefnger. Alex Wild, darby who
lives here and Is well known, says he
Is well acquainted with both Simmons
and his victim. He says Simmons,
who Is about twenty-three or twenty
four years old was raised near Bios
som, and afterward went to Dallas.
About three years ago he returned
here, and has since lived and farmed
been regarded among the darkies as
he says. owns about eighty acres Of
land whore he lives. He Is about thirty
or thlrty-fiYe years old. He married
Simmons sister from whom he is
now separated. and Wild thinks the
woman is now IN an insane asylum.
wind says that Barlow was a trouble
some negro. and that he had many
quarrels and fights with his colored
nelghbors. Here In Blossom Barlow Is
spoken OF by the business men as be-
Ing good for his debts. owning a good
sized farm. and the stock with which
