FATAL ARRAY At DALLAS.
Charles Orr Shot by Tom Angus, a
Hack Driver.
ANGUS SURRENDERED TO OFFICERS.
Has Served T. rm for tho Killing of
Pitcher Bradley Six Years Ago.
Cause of tho Trouble.

Dallas, Texas, December l2.-Tonight at
1880 o'clock, on Main street. Charles Orr,
a bartender was shot and fatally wound
ed by Tom Angus. a hack driver. The
men met and after very few words the
Shooting took place. An immense crowd
quickly assembled and many versions of
the affair are afioat.
Angus at once surrendered to the officers
and was locked up.
The origin of tonights trouble was a
fight a few nights ago between Angus
and Kirby Orr. brother Of the deceased.
Tom Angus six years ago shot and
killed Charles Bradley, well known ball
player. The shooting took place on Main
street, opposite the Windsor hotel, and
Bradley was running In an opposite di-
rectlon when Angus shot him dead In his
tracks. Dolly Love. woman of the town,
was the principal cause of the trouble
between Angus ana Bradley. The former
was in the hack business and was worth
$4,000 or $4,000 ne was defended by Colonel
w. l.. Crawford and Robert X. Seay.
After an exciting trial the Jury returned
a verdict of guilty and assessed the pun
ishment of Angus at five years in the PEN
itentiary. Colonel Crawford carried the
case to the court OF appeals and made a
vigorous fight for reversal In an opinion
by Chief Justice j. NJ. Hurt the verdict
Of the lower court was affirmed The
learned judge said among other things:
The accused should congratulate himself
upon the mildness OF the sentence" Angus
served his time and gave the officials of
The penitentiary no trouble. Last spring
he was released, returned TO Dallas and
re-enibarked in the hack business.
Charles Orr was the son of a well known
business man of Dallas, who died u few
years since, leaving an estate valued at
$500 a. or sSO0,oOD to his two sons, a
division OF the property took place last
summer Orr was a man peaceabiy dis
posed and had never been involved in
trouble. Angus is about IS years old and
came TO Dallas about fifteen years ago.
Pending his confinement in the county
! jail awaiting trial for the killing of Brad
ley, he married Matte Davenport. size
