authorities, nor by theft or neglect
of the insured to save and preserve
said property at and after the fire,
nor while the property was in dan.

that there was no other insurance

cost Mr.. Brady $4,000, and that Mr.
Brady was not in or near Kerr
county at the time OF the fire

An article appeared in the Even
ing News last Saturday, to which
the name of Editor Nose Harris
was signed, referring to Captain
VIM. Holt as coward, braggart,
etc. When a man writes an article
like that he is looking for trouble,
and is generally prepared for it.
Editor Harris was walking along
East Commerce street, opposite
the LIGHT Office, this morning
about 9 o'clock. He was met
in front of bargains fruit stand
by "Tom" Holt, the youngest
son of Captain Holt. Young Holt
walked in front of Harris and
struck him in the face, knocking
him over off the sidewalk, between
the wheels OF buggy. Here Holt
was using Harris face as a punch
ing bag, and struck from the shout
der. Harris pulled dagger, with
about six-inch blade, from his side
pocket and lunged it into Hollis
side.
Officer Mcconnell was coming
along the street, and was immedi-
ately upon the scene to part the
fighters. Both were bloody. The
policeman could not part the men
and pulled out his pistol. He
grabbed Holt, and Harris made a
rush for the officer with the knife.
1t was later discovered that
Officer Mcconnell received a stab
in the left arm. Harris did not
want to surrender the knife until
Mcconnell commanded him at the
point of the pistol. When the Off
Ger grabbed Holt Harris said
"Hold him, hold him ; don't let him
get at me-" and Holt replied: ooh,
you contemplate cur, i thought you
would fight. Oh, let me get at tho

Both were placed under arrest
and gave bond. Harris went into
a saloon, where he wiped the blood
from his face and clothes. He was
not seriously injured. Holt was
stabbed in the left side under the
heart, the knife striking a rib. He
was taken to the city hospital,
where his wounds were attended
to. He was stabbed at three times.
Mcconnell, who was stabbed in
the left arm, was also taken to the
city hospital.
But for the timely interference
OF Mcconnell, the fight would have
been more serious and probably
have resulted fatally.
When the reporter for the LIGHT
telephoned to the city hospital, to
inquire as to the extent of the in
juries of the wounded men, the
female nurse in charge emphatical-
ly refused to give any information,
for the simple reason that the
LIGHT does not send her a dead
hOou PoPOis
Later DR.. Clavin, the aecOmmo-
dating physician in charge, tele-
phoned the LIGHT particulars as
to the injuries Of the two parties
who were cut. Neither Of the
wounds are serious, being flesh
cuts, but, had the cut received by
Holt been about an inch deeper
the undertakers would have had
another job.
LATER: Editor Harris SAYS the
policeman struck him in the face
with his pistol, while others say
young Holt struck him with a
stick which he picked up on the
news stand.

An Electric Target.

An improved form of the electric tar
get has been brought out by an Aus
trian officer. The target consists of
small meshes of wire, which are painted
a bright color. No matter how long the
range may be, as soon as the surface
of the wire is struck by the projectile,
a signal which passes along connect
ing cable, is registered on an indicator
placed near the stand. The impact OF
the bullet on the figure or wire rings
that represent the upper part of a
mans body closes the circuit and rings
a bell, the ringing being simultaneous
with the signaling on the indicator.
The apparatus is placed under ground
and acts automatically, requiring no
care whatever for maintenance. 1t has
been we'll received by Austrian army
experts, as it enables man to be dis
pensed with in indicating the points
and so removes what has been a more
or less fruitful source Of accident in
military shooting drill.-New York

He Gets big Pay and is Allowed
Many Privileges.
Two thousand dollars a year, every
thing found, and presents to the tune
of about $1,000 year constitute the
value of the post of chief gillie or
Highland attendant to Queen Victoria,
which has been conferred upon Will
lam Brown, Il nephew of the famous
John Brown. Although the office is
that of mental, yet it is one of such
importance that the entire court has
been in state of excitement over the
matter
This is attributable to the fact that
servants of the class of William
brown and of the German yaegers in
attendance on the royal family are
permitted far more freedom of speech
than couriers and mobiles. The dis
lance between the sovereign and the
mental is so great that she feels that
she can afford to manifest a familiari-
ty toward him which she could not
permit herself to accord to persons OF
a higher rank in society without dan
ger Of their presuming thereon.
How close John Brown stood to her
majesty is shown by the constant ref
erence to him in the published pages
of her diary. 1t was Dear John

chorus of good wishes showered
upon me, and rough faces beamed
with good feeling as cordial hands
were held out to grasp mine.
The next morning | went to Jack,
the boy servant who was to attend the
door, and instructed him to say that /
was engaged if any persons of the de-
scription l gave him should inquire
for me-
Then l forgot them-forgot all about
eyes strained in the effort to apprc-
bend gigantic difficulties, and hands
cramped with the unusual toll of
writing; forgot the sounds of bad Eng
lish in foreign accents, and the sight
of ix-footers standing up to spell
cat, forgot that l was not as free
from such duties as any of the young
men and women who called upon my
aunt, and with whom l had chatted
and passed compliments on that New
Years day.
But shortly after dark a very modest
ring was heard. ] Glanced to be at
the further end of the hall when the
familiar, uncultivated male voice fell
on my ear, and | caught sight of sew
eral of my pupils entering. They had
been admitted by a girl who attended
