FIVE BUGGIES WRECKED.
A Frightened Horse Created Excitement on
Commerce Street Yesterday.

A frightened horse, near the cor
ner Of Commerce and Alamo
streets, caused a general smash-up
yesterday afternoon, in which
there were several thrilling incl
dents. A colored boy in the en-
ploy of the livery firm of Sommer-
vile & Wilson, was riding a dun
pony and taking horse and bug
gy to the livery stable. The buggy
horse became frightened and the
colored boy was thrown from his
horse, and turned several somer-
saults, while the buggy passed over
him. The frightened horse con-
tinued its wild career down Com
merce street and soon another
horse started. This ran into an
other buggy, and that horse start.
ed, until finally the entire street
to the bridge was scene of eX-
element. Charlie Bull was on a
horse and rode in front the run
Always, trying to head them off.
He lost his hat in the scuffle. The
colored boy was carried into
Reuss' drug store and appeared to
be seriously hurt, but appearances
proved deceptive, for as soon as he
came to he walked out alone. The
dun pony that he rode was severely
cut in the breast and probably
ruined. About five buggies were
wrecked, but the names of the
owners could not be learned. A
buggy containing l.. S. loft, wife
and sister, was damaged. The oc.
cupants were thrown out, but were
not hurt.

DIED IN POVERTY.
THE KANSAS CITY SUNDAY SUN
LOSES ITS LOCAL AGENT.
James Braniff, Former Druggist of Des
Moines, Died Yesterday = Buried
By the County.

James Braniff, agent for the
Kansas City Sunday Sun, was
found dead yesterday morning
about s o'clock, in VOLTS camp
yard, corner of Commerce and
blackberry streets. Two boys were
passing the place and saw man
Sitting on the door step Of an old
shanty in the camp yard.
They discovered that the man
was dead, and the police were
notified. The patrol wagon soon
arrived with Coroner Devine, who
viewed the remains.
Braniff was drinking Saturday
night and was in Nicklass' saloon
on East Commerce street about
eight o'clock Saturday night. He
was taken to the shanty in the
campyard, where he lived, by
Joe Rippstein and q young, man
named Schneider. 1t is said that
he was helplessly drunk and he
was placed on the doorstep, as the
door was locked and could not be
opened. Rippstein and Schneider
say that he was breathing well
when they left him.
Deceased had been in San Anto-
MO about three years. He came
from Des Moines, a., where he
formerly conducted the Palace
drugstore. He has a family in
Des Moines. Since deceased had
been in San Antonio, he drank con-
siderably and it is said that he
used morphine to a great extent.
He was at one time highly re-
spected citizen Of Des Moines, but
his fondness for liquor caused his
downfall. When he came here he
brought with him a fifteen-year-
old son, but being unable to take
care of him, his relatives sent for
him, and he is now with them in
Des Moines.
Deceased also did odd jobs for
living and sometimes begged for
with which to get some
thing to eat. He lived with an old
German gardner, named Schnei-
der, and the two made their home
In the little shanty.
When the door of the shanty
was opened yesterday morning by
the officers, the sole furnishings re-
vealed were three large trunks
and an improvised cot, made of
boards placed across two chairs.
His remains were laid out on the
cot and were buried yesterday af-
by the county. A contri-
button was taken up among SYM
bystanders, with which
to purchase a coffin.
The body was examined by a
doctor, who assigned the cause of
death to congestion of the brain,
caused by whisky.

Georgetown Boomlets.

GEORGETOWN, Tex, March g.
[Speciall-The citizens petition to
the railroad commission with ref
erence to the deplorable condition
of the track on the Georgetown
branch of the 1. & G. N. seems to
have had the desirable result, as
that road will begin relaying the
old iron with steel, commencing
March 7th.
Farmers have so far advanced
with their work that a line on the
acreage for the season may be fig
ured on with some degree of ac-
racy. Wheat and oats are all
planted and doing fine, and about
the same acreage as last year.
There will be slight increase in
corn planting and decided in
crease in the acreage of cotton.

He Pulled the Wrong String,

j. M. Moore, a Texas ranger,
pulled the register cord of a troll
ley car on Austin street Saturday
night, instead of the bell cord, and
in doing so registered fare. HI. L..
Edwards, conductor of the car, re-
quested Moore to pay for his mis-
take, which the ranger refused to
do, as he said he had already paid
his fare and did not propose to
pay twice. Hot words ensued and
several blows were exchanged. Of
fcer Vidal arrested both men for
fighting. They gave bond.

The mayor gay
Addressed tn array

His Honor's glee

Said he, "Tis writ,
