The bonds, on which collections are to

THE PRINTING BOARD.

The printing board held a meeting YES
terday morning with representative mem
bers of the Typographical unions of
Houston and Galveston present to con.
slider the matter of having State printing
done outside of the State.
The question was brought up some time
back and Il decision rendered on ii by
Judge Morris of the Twenty-siXth dis
trict court.
He decided, and it seems correctly,
that a contractor, if not otherwise pro
vided in his contract, can have State
printing done outside of the State.
The State printing board, however, for
years and years in drawing up contracts
stipulated in them that work shall be done
inside of the State. They have the legal
right to insert this provision in the con
tract and from expressions heard fall
from a member of the board last after
noon they propose to follow the custom
established years and years ago. In short.
they propose to have State work executed
in the State and there has been a deal
of fuss and feathers over nothing. 1t is
insisted the board has as much right
to stipulate where the work shall be done
as it has to Stipuate what quality of pa
per shall be used and when the work shall
be delivered.
The board meets again this morning at
10 o'clock

just reached here of II terrible tragedy
in Trigg county late Saturday evening

that county, had a difficulty with and shot
and severely wounded John Rhodes, a
farmer of his ncighborhoOd. Another
farmer, named Hammond, who was pres
est and who was a friend of Rhodes. at
tempted to assist Rhodes. COston then
shot and instantly killed Hammond before
he could render any assistance to his
wounded friend. For some reason
Colston. after wounding Rhodes, did not
shoot him. probably thinking him already
dead. Colston did not attempt 20 escape.
nor did any one attempt to arrest him,
but he went on where he was going when
the difficulty was begun. A few hours
later Colston, in company with woman,
went to the house of another farmer.
The farmer ordered them to leave the
place. They refused to do SOL and at
tackled the farmer, who, after securing Il
weapon, succeeded in killing both Colston
and the woman.
