Horribi. Shooting Array At Houston.

HoUsroN, Tex, Feb. 20.-Last night q
horrible tragedy took place here ss q Sc
quel of the famous Fort Bend feud, known
as the Jaybird Woodpecker quarrel. James
X. Mitchell. a quadrupIc murderer, was
the central figure 1, that affair. Milton
Sparks and d. I. Sutton, a constable of
Eagle Lake, were in the city as attached
witnesses in the Fort Bend feud murder
case. and Mrs. Sparks accompanied her
husband. This engendered bad blood, and
last night Mitchell, who was waiting for
his father and brother from Richmond.
espied Sutton. He opened fire, which was
promptly returned, Sutton falling after
murderous fusillade until he had fired six
shots. The result was that. in addition to
Sutton being killed, Milton Sparks was
shot to death. Dan Gleason, an omnibus
driver, also lies dead. Mrs. Sparks, the
wife of the murdered man. was badly
wounded. as was also a child she carried.
A brother Of Sparks was MORALLY
wounded, and Mrs. Mcdowell, on aged
lady, received one of the bullets. Her
chances for recovery are very slim.

STUDENTS OF THE BANJO.
How They Watched Alfred 4. Far
lands Technique.

The banjo is an instrument seldom re-
garded with any of the respect due to art.
Indeed. until recently it has been looked
upon principally as an adjunct TO the
warblingS of cork blaeked ministries"
But the banjo has risen lately in the
social scale and last night in the hands of
Alfred A. Farland it attained to the dig
nifty of being watched by many eyes with
positive respect. The occasion was stu
dents recital given by the banjo virtuoso
in the Maple Hail of the Palace Hotel
The audience filled the room, and those
students of the banjo who were so fortu-
nate as to secure front seats watched the
technique of the yirtuoso with as much
absorbed interest as In musical centers
one sees crowds Of enthusiastic students
watching the hands and even the gestures
of famous pianists. In fact the Maple
Hall seemed to be filed with people
craving TO become banjo virtuosi
Mr.. Farand played through long pro-
gramme with his usual virtuOsity. His
music was all classical or semi-classical
and he gave an interesting performance of
every number. In his tempOs he did not
always restrict himself 10 those indicated
by the composer for the original ms tru-
ments. In some of his Chopin selections
composed for the pianoforte, for instance,
he accelerated the original tempo, but on
the light and airy banjo the effect was ar
iistic. r. Fletcher Tilton accompanied
the banJo-sololst alphabetically.

HE Is BLANK ON THE SCHOOLS.
His UtterarceS on the Causes of
Hard Times Are Vague
and Hay.

A campaign genius, who occasionally
favors the Republican State Central
Committee with the roducts of his inven-
ton, has introduced the "deadly PARALLEL
into politics. The following paragraphs
have been prepared by him and sent to the
committee as a specimen of what may be
done with the politicians when their utter
ances are presented in two-column rule.
1t is said that the cause of this pres
entation of the Republican case was
the attack made by James Ii. Budd
upon Candidate Mllard at Union Hall
the other night. 1t seems that the
gentleman who prepared this series of
deadly parallels" is friend of Mllard's
and lately came here from Los Angeles.
He denies that Willard is ''grassnopper,"
and asserts positively that that gentleman
never lived in Kansas at all. In fact, all
that Willard ever saw of Kansas was what
he observed through a window while
riding across the State in railro ad-car.
However the deadly parallel" in this
case Is a powerful aud Interesting CAM
paign document. Here it is as it came

The suit brought by DR.. j. j. Leek

motion Of Attorney Collins, counsel for

Leek was extremely anxious to have the

that Leek had followed divers trades.
