KNOWS BRAIN.
a Fort Smith Citizen Gives Some
Interesting Facts About the
Texas Editor.


Mr.. E. A. Thomas, late OF Waco,
NOW of Fort Smith. knows Brann Of
the Iconoclast personally and be-
lieves there are worse men than
Brann right in Texas, says tho Fort
Smith Sun.
Mr.. Thomas.has been away from
Texas but few weeks and knows
all the parties to the Waco tragedy
reported in yesterdays Sun. aad
knows all about the trouble leading
up to the dlticulty. There had been
a previous alteration between the
same parties, In which Col Gerald
got the worst OF it. Col. Gerald is a
friend Of Brann aud wrote an article
for publication In she 'rimes-Heraid,
the daily paper Of Waco edited by
Harris. Col. Gerald took the manu-
script to the office and Editor Harris
said he ould look over it. Ii failed
to appear in the paper and Col, Ger
aid went after 1t. A personal alter
cation occurred in the office, and
Col. Gerald was badly used up, The
editor took sick and Friday last was
the first time he had appeared on the
streets of Waco since the first difficult
ty, and the shooting was what was
expected,
Mr.. Thomas says Col. Gerald has
two sons and trouble Is not done
yet.
The first bea ting Of Brann was
within fifty feet Of Mr. Thomas door
and the killing of Friday was just
across the street from his place.
"Brann is Il lightweight physical
ly. ;" says Mr.. Thomas, "hut heavy
weight otherwise. He is very
agreeable man socially, and is Of
very plain dress and manner. Brann
has an office down town but he
spends very little timeinit. He does
his writing ct home where he has
one Of the finest private libraries in
Texas. He works at a plain table
with revolving desks around him
and dictionaries at hand and when
he can't find In the dictionary the
word he WANTS he manufactures
one"
Brann has made all his money in
the past two yeara. TWO years ago
he couldn't get credit at the grocery
store, but he made hit and Is now
worth $4,000 from the sale Of his
paper. He has q wife and three

4 WEDDING.
WAS THE CLOSING SCENE OF
THE BAPTIST CON
VENTI0N
Miss Grace Owen. Of Monticello
United to j. w. Mcdonald,
of Hot Springs. Before a
Large Audience.

The closing scene of the Baptist
State Convention, which adjourned
Monday afternoon, was a novel and
impressive one and entirely unex-
pected. 1t was the marriage of

ticello, to Mr. j W Mcdonald, of
Hot Servings. The ceremony was
performed by DR.. Ford. of ST.
Louis, On the stage of the opera
house in the presence Of the entire
audience Of ministers, delegates and
visitors. It was complete sur
prise to the entire audience. Just
before tue convention adjourned
Miss Owen aud Mr. Mcdonald
walked through the door to the
right, leading to the stage. DR..
ford was sitting 90 the stage
at the time, and as the
young couple advanced, the Doctor
walked to The front Of the stage and
in beautiful and impressive man
ner, performed the ceremony.
Itseems that. tbe young couple
have been engaged for sometime, but
there were parental objections on
the brides side Miss Owen came
to the convention as a delegate from
Munticello Mr. Mcdonald came as
a delegate from Hot Springs. Sun
day they determined to have the
ceremony performed in the manner
it occurred.
DR.. Ford is an intimate afriend of
the bride, she having frequently
visited his home in St. Louis. His
wife has written book, the princi-
pal character ia which is Grace
Truman, p named in honor of the
bride on this occasion.
Immediately after the ceremony
the newly welded couple left over
the Valley road for brief bridal
tour to s.. Louis.
