News was received here this
morning of the death of Thos. In
giles, master mechanic of the st. L.,
S-W., at Tyler. His remains will
pass through here tomorrow morn
ing for Alton, ILL.,, for interment.
For over week the thermome-
ters hereabouts have registered 100
degrees of heat daily. This is the
longest siege of real het weather
ever known in Texarkana, so we are
informed by the proverblal "oldest
inhabitant.
The "frst bale" has ceased to be
an oddity in many of the cotton
market towns of south Texas, and
even in Arkansas they are rolling
into the larger cities. TeXarkana
has not received its first bale up to
this time, but we look for it soon.
Acting county attorney, Frank
Ball, went before Justice Haywood
and reported the wounds of Rev,
Mr.. Forbes were more dangerous
than at first represented and asked
that Col. Hallum, who did the
shooting, be brought back and his
bond made niger. The officer was
sent up to-day for him, and the
case will be reopened this after
noon, so we were told Dy Justice
Haywood.
