A FAMILY DISTURBANCE


Bangl Bangl About $50 O'Clock
last Friday evening two pistol shots
rang out on the evening air, coming
from the restaurant which adjOlns the
Headlight saloon. About this time
In the evening there is most always a
large crowd of people on the street and
many hastened in that direction TO
find out what the trouble was, while
those who were In the restaurant were
In greater hurry TO get out.
Those who arrived at the scene In.
mediately looked in the windows and
witnessed sight that they win not
soon forget. On the floor engaged in a
fierce struggle were two men, one
whose contenance bore look of 70.
Venge, the other whose face was cold
and white like marble and who had
blood dripping from the ends Of his
fingers. 1t was fight in which one
man sought snOther's life and the
other was fighting to save it. In the
formers hand which was now grasped
by the latter could be seen revolver
which he was trying to wrench from
him. Out of the throng that had
gathered Nightwatch Fisher managed
to push his way to the door, opened
it and went in and succeeded in getting
possession OF the weapon. Tho men
were separated and they rose to their
feet and glared In each others eyes
like beasts. They were recognized as
Bert Vickery and his brother. in law,
Geo. Woods.
Vickery, the one who had done the
shooting, was placed under arrest and
Woods was taken to the hospital to
have his wounds attended to. The
cause Of the trouble, which has existed
for years, was some family affair
which would in no way interest our
readers. Previous to the shooting the
meE had met in the Headlight saloon
and became engaged in a quarrel, but
were informed that they could not
settle their troubles in there. Vickery.
then went into the restaurant where
Woods and his wife, a sister of Vickery,
are both employed and ordered his sup
per at the same time enchanting: "The
d s. of a b. forbid me coming in
here and speaking to my sister"
Woods happened to be within hear.
ing and came in and said; Vickery,
you will have to take that back, " at
the same time going up to him and
knocking him down. Vickery fell on
his back and Woods sprang upon him.
Vickery pulled his revolver and fred
two shots, one of which passed through
Woods left hand, entered his RICH side
and struck a rib. During the trouble
Vickery accidently shot himself in the
foot causing an ugly flesh wound
The preliminary trial was set for
Monday but as Woods failed to appear
against the prisoner tho case was dis.
missed. The grand jury will probably
invest the case when it meets here.
Vickery is able to be out OF the street
and Woods will recover.-rimes Demo

LONE STAR DEMOCRATS
Reaffirm Allegiance to the Platform of the Party Adopted
 at Chicago.

Waco, Tex, July 30.--Over thousand democrats attended a conference here today called by Chairman Blake, of the democratic state executive committed. The most important action taken was the adoption of resolutions affirming unwav- ering allegiance to the principles of the party as expressed in it's late platform, state and national, and appealing to cit izens who desire good government to stand as a unit for it's support. The paragraph in regard to finances is as fol- lows:
 That we hail as an advance sign of the return to the principles upon which the prosperity of the country alone can be secured the disposition of the people in other states. as indicated by recent elections, to turn to the time honored doctrine of bimetallism and to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to a system of just taxation opposed to the trusts and monopolies and to the principles de- clared in the last democratic platform adopted a Chicago in 1S96."
 The resolutions concluded with denunciation of the republican party.
