Colonel Gillum States 1t is Men as

Interested.

There was mere or less talk yesterday about
the projected new morning newspaper tor
Fort Worth, and some interest was conferred
on the meeting which 1t had been stated
would be held at the State National bank.
So far as a Gazette reporter could learn the
only meeting held there was between Colo
mel Gillum Il. II. childers and John G.
Harrison, which was in the nature Of an infor
NAL discussion. MIR. Harrison asked regard
ing the project, said he had been put down
wrong in some of the Of the papers. There
was, he said, no Significance in the fact that
the meeting was held In the bank. Colonel
Gillum had requested the use Of the directors
room for the meeting, and as matter OF
courtesy 1t had been granted. MIR. Harrison
said he knew but little of the matter.
II was rumored that a meeting was to be
held at the Worth last night, but this was
mistake, as no meeting was held, Colonel
Gillum was found at the Worth last night
and spoke freely regarding his plans. He said
he had conceived the Idea that Fort Worth
Moulu De good place Tor great morning
daily and he had come to this city to make a
proposition to her citizens. He had met
number OF gentlemen at the State National
bank, with whom he discussed his plans.
The fact that the meeting was held at this
bank and the fact that the Harrisons were
brothers.in-law Of Governor Culberson did
not SIGNIFY anything. The new paper was not
TO be in the interest Of any man, and so far as
he knew Governor CulbersOn was not aware
that he was In Fort Worth or Of his mission
here. Certainly he had no such Information
from him. Colonel Glllum said he had pro-
posed to those at his meeting to form cor
porati1n with u capital stock Of 100000 to
publish morning newspaper. II the citizens
of Fort Worth would take $4,000, he would
look after the balance Of 100000. He did not
want bonus-in fact, he had told the gem
tlemen II they were to give him SIS 00u In
gold as a bonus, he luld not undertake the
task. He had said to one man that he would
not undertake 1t for $4,000. lie wanted Fort
Worth people to take the stock because he
wanted them to be Interested. This would
make Il a home enterprise. IA II were, and
he was willing that Fort Worth people should
lie realized that unless he had the homo
people Interested he could not hope to sue
coed. He Indignantly denied that the paper
was to be started in the interest of any
clique. corporation or man, II was not to

/ Regarding the publication that L. l.. Dster
