rest ca, aEd remains in Jail pending the
result of MIR. 1sOnlusOn'o in IurieS. The
affair is involved in some mystery. and
contradictions and assertions will
nave ID be stralgh ened out by inves-
tigaLlou. At present it is not known
whether 1t Was ID case of runaway or
reckless orivlDg.
Bystandcrs give versions that do not
all agree, and the report was started
Iast night that Ed Few eli and Lsmarr
| Davis were racing with the Chinamau
on horseback down the t:eet. The
| young meu deny this IN toto, and would
IKE 20 remodel the profile of the party
orig lnaLlug the yarn. AS near aS can
be ascer.aIned, MIR. Robinson had lust
| driven his wagon up in front of the
| meat market OF Haston Il Robinson on
! San Antonio street, ana was passing
around the wagon on the street side
pI eparatOry To taking the horse out.
AT That moment IL horse and cart driv-
| en- by Mack Guey came up the street
from The west, the horse apparently
running away. The fort outfit was
On Lhe south side of the
street and crossed over to
| Myrtle avenue: and IN so doing ran
| into Mr.. Rob .nsOn, knocking INN down
| and colliL lug WITH his wagon. The
| fort horse aud wagon were overturned
| aud the Chlnaman thrown head tir-t
| into the Street. He was badly Scraped
| aud bruised, out escaped without b Ok
| en- bones. MIR. ROOlnsOn was not so
| fortunate, but sustained fractured
skull aad three broken ribs, with in
| iernal injuries. He was picked up un-
| CONSCIOUS, taken home and cared for.
| The Chluaman was arrested and his
team picked up after some sculiling
| with the LOree.
Ed. Fewei and Lemarr Davis were
| riding westward on the northside of
the sti eet, and had to pull up their
| horses and let the runaway get by
them. MIR. Jewell said there was
| room enough for Mack Gley to
lave got by Mr.. Robinson safely but
| lnste ad rau right iutO MIN: also, as
was standing up in the rig whipping
the pony with the ends of the reins.
| Other witnesses on the sidewalk sub
! sJant!ate tbs S,a.ement. The. China
| man has made statements to tue effect
| ne thougnt the young men We're tryin :
| to race WITH him and ais horse got sway
but the boys uepy anything OF Tie kim.

| ledge " ere cOncer ned. Both Captain
| Hinton aud Collector Davis are inc in
ed to regard the affair DIS d runaway,
| some hing mat could not be ne p d :,
and the Star stables people say the
pony is a very skigtlsh animal that has
given considerab bic trouble
d. y. Haley who Was in front of
ClIhord's sore says Ma; TX Guy was
Standing up in the cart licking the
horse anu making him go as fast as he
Gould, and d woman on wheel came
| WITHIN an ace OF being run over by him.
Mr. Had iey does not think the horse
was running away, but was being
driven to his hig hest rate Of speei by
| the driver.
Mack Guey was seen this noon by a
HERALD repoI ter at the jail. The
pr sOnor said that his horse Was Strur x
with a whip while he was diving up
San Antonio street, by one of two
young men ON morse Uack, and that the
animal presently ran away, noJwith-
stand ling ali he could DO to mold him in.
He aid not see Mr.. Robinson; did not
know there was any co lision until he
found himself in the road, and his rig
overturned.
At 3:l5 p, m, today Mr.. Robinson
