gress against Breckinridge; c. C. Moore,
General w. II. Gentry and j. Walter

moore: II have come to see You about
the lying, scurrilious letter which 1 under
stand you have received from Jett's sta
tion, postmarked Georgetown, in which
my character is attacked in a most shame
iui manner. You say you believe the let
ter to be forge ry and yet you will print

men OF peace and have tried to do right.

Moore began to explain that he was
doing this to defend Owens, but Owens
shut him OF, saying that he did not want
to he defended by Moore. Then Moore
asked to be allowed to read the letter.
which he did. The letter was dated Jet,s.
Ny. May "a. Moore had headed it:
"How Bill Owens is Everlasting Ruined"
The letter makes grave charges against
Owens Of immortality and gambling, and
Is signed l.. Crutcher. The post-mark Of
the le1ter is Georgetown and the post
muster OF that place had just come in to
say that the postmark stamp was forgery.
Moore then backed down and said that if
Owens wished it he would not publish the
letter.
10 this Owens replied that he would say
nothing. but the letter had better not be
published. Moore then agreed not to pub
iish 1t. A copy of the letter will be placed
In the hands of a detective and the author
ferreted out. Moore kept the original, al
though Owens asked him for it and said
he thought he knew where it came from.
There is no doubt that Moore would have
been killed if he had not backed down.

GATHERED AT CHOLSON,
Boy Drowned In Tank-Crand
Barbecue,

Gholson, May l.-Charley Payne,
deaf and dumb boy, IL years of
age, was drowned Friday while
bathing in his fathers tank. He
had been in the habit of going to
the tank and Friday at dinner asked
for permission to 60 bathing, but
was refused. Shortly after dinner
he was missed, but nothing was
thought of his absence, as it was
thought he had gone to work. His
mother returned to the tank to
gather the clothes she had washed
in the forenoon and there discovered
his clothes on the bank. A further
search led to the discovery of his
body. He was found in water
about four feet deep, where it was
supposed he had been for several
hours. He was bright little fellow
and his death is sincerely regretted.
The citizens met Saturday night
10 decide whether to have
barbecue. 1t was unanimously
agreed to have barbecue and May
25th set for it. Mr.. Tom Presnall
was elected chairman Of the com
mittee, and he has appointed T. w.
Rozell, S. E. Umberson, j. K
Breasy and D. Moncrief to assist
him in making preparation, for 1t is
thought large crowd will attend.
Everybody is invited and all the
candidates are urged to attend and
deliver speeches. A nice grove,
opposite Mr.. Tom Presnall's store,
has been selected as the place to
have it.
A heavy rain fell here Sunday,
doing much damage to crops. A
great many will have to plant both
corn and cotton over.
Prof. r. A. Prices school will bt

give an entertainment that night

Mr.. Yeary:-"I measured the
distance from the doorway to the
scene of the lynching. 1t was a
distance of ten feet from the gallery
to the gate, and from the gate to the
tree was sixty feet, so Ed Cash was
hung within 70 feet of his wife.

BELTON BRIEFS.
The Heavy Rain Of Sunday
Delicate Operation.

Bolton, May Sunday morning
just before day it began to rain
here and has hardly Stacked since.
1t was accompanied by severe wind
and heavy thunder, and at times
was almost water spout. A small
residence down on water street was
struck by lightning, but was not
damaged much. The creek was
higher than it has been for seven
years.
Bolton will soon have a new
bridge across Nolan creek on the
street leading to the South Bolton
cemetery and the fair grounds.
Also some improvements in the
way of cnlverts; but there is one
thing lacking yet and that is few
more arch lights on Main street and
the Avenue.
The new Central hotel is about
completed and is a credit to any
city. 1t will be ready for occupa.
ton by the last of this week.
The young man, Will Gordon,
who was struck last Friday by Joe
Burnett, has been unconscious ever
since. Yesterday about 4 O'Clock
Drs. Flewellen, Hudson and Client
performed very delicate and dan
gerous operation on him and it is
thought he will recover. His skull
was broken and pressed down or
the brain at least quarter of ar
inch. The piece that was knocked
down was larger than the palm Of {
persons hand and was badly frac
tured. Part of it had to be takel
out. The opening in his head
necessary to perform the operation
was at least eighteen or twent,
inches, being circle shaped gas
so as to enable them to lift the en-
tire scalp. At present he seems t.
besresting we'll.
