Heber Stone Will Run.
An Austin special to the Houe

An Austin special to the Hous-
ton Post dated the 18th, says:
"Senator Stone of BRENNAN is
here this evening and announces
definitely that he will be candi-
date for the democratic nominal
ton for congress to succeed Joe
Sayars. Senator Stone repre-
sents Washington, Bastrop, Lee,
and Burleson counties in the
State senate and ran far ahead
of the ticket at the last election.
He is very popular in his end of
the district, and as the opposition
to democracy is quite strong in
that section, his availability is
conceded on account of his abil-
ity to overcome said opposition in
a large measure.
The democracy of this district
looks to Senator Stone as the
man who will meet the require
ments of the convention that
names a successor to Sayers,
and the BANNER believes that he
is the man to do it. He is not
only favorite son in this par
ticular section, but a man of ex-
tended acquaintance and num-
erous friends drought the dist
riot. tits freely conceded that
the man who carries the demo-
cratic standard to victory in this
congressional district must be 8
man in every way worthy to re-
ceive the mantle that has so long
been worn by the illustrious Say
ers. There must be no popular
breeze catching policy about the
man who succeeds Sayers. He
must be thoroughly in accord
with his party on the great issues
of national import that fix the
line of demarkation between the
party of the people and the party
of the. trusts, between the party
1naS stands for liberty + and pa
gress and the party thai upholds
the iniquities of oppression and
the highway robbery of bonds
He must be radical, but not ram
pageous, enthusiastic but not
hysterical; tactician as well as
an orator and amenable to con-
siderations which enter into prae-
teal politics, and without which
success is always in doubt. In
all these requisites Mr.. Stone is
distinctively available and pre-
eminently the man for the place.

hour or little over after the
shooting; my mother was at the
house. That is all l know
about it.
Frank King, for the State, tes-
titled as follows: l was coming
from the gin on the Chappell
Hill and independence road on
the day of the killing. Just after
I got around the bend of the
branch l heard the shooting;
there were three shots fired right
close together like you would
pop your fingers; then in less
than a half minute there we're
three or four more shots fired
right close together; there were
some bushes between me and
the shooting and l couldn't see
either man; l could see the
smoke rising above the bushes;
didn't see either party after the
shooting until that night 1 saw
Geirken after he was dead; this
is all know about it.
Gabrella Wilson, witness for
the State, testified as follows:
We were coming to town the
evening of the shooting between
3 and 4 o'clock and met Mr..
Wellman and boy in a buggy;
did not see a gun; he said Moth
ing to US; this is all 1 know
about it.
Charles Speering, witness
for the State, after being duly
sworn testified as follows: Mr..
Wellman told me that Henry
Geirken had written a bad letter
to him; l asked Mr.. Wellman
what was in the letter; he told
me he could not tell me. Well
man told me that they had told
him in Brennan that wherever
he met deceased to kill him;
Wellman said that he was afraid
the boy would kill him when
they met; Mr.. Wellman said:
What am l to do? l have no
right to shoot him going home
from town in company with
Heitmann nor on Heitmann's
place. | know Mr..
Wellmann and have known him
Is or IA years; I had a CONVEX
sation with Mr.. Wellmann at the
church on Sunday about IA
days before Gierken was killed,
we talked about 5 minutes;
Wellmann told me that they told
him in BRENNAN to shoot Gier-
ken down if he makes trouble; I
told Wellmann then that he had
no right to shoot deceased;
Wellmann didn't say anything
and 1 didn't say anything to
him; | told Wellmann that he
didn't have any right to shoot
Gierken in the road or on Heide-
mann's place; this is all I know
about the case.

The Only School of Educated Alaska Sea
Lions and Seals.
In the Adam Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers big menagerie,
hippodrome and circus aggrega-
ton, which is to exhibit at Bren-
ham on Friday next all the ele-
ments contribute their rarest
living wonders to instruct and
entertain. Uniquely conspicu-
Gus among these will be found
Capt. Woodward's only school of
performing sea lions and seals,
a whole family of gigantic and
daring amphibious artists, whose
rare intelligence has been de-
veloped to a most unique, sur
prising and ludierous degree,
when the grotesquely unwieldly
character of their bodies is con-
sidered, and tails and stumpy
fippers have to be depended on
in the place of arms and legs.
To take these creatures from
their native element and make of
them soldiers, musicians, SOLO
lists, mimics and clowns, superior
in many respects to any quad
rupeds and funnier than all OF
them put together, was an I'M
dertaking requiring positive
genius, and unlimited patience
and kindness en- the part of their
trainer. The result is a triumph
of originality, surprises and en-
tertainment.

Thursday for the Organization.

Some Forty Passive Members Secured
Thursday for the Organization.
Sergeant Schumacher, mem
Der of the soliciting committee
for the Brennan Field Artillery
put in Thursday canvassing for
the new armory. He reports the
securing of some forty passive
members for the organization,
with large majority of the citi-
zens yet to be seen.
Speaking on this subject to a
reporter an active member of the
organization said:
"The response to the resolu-
tons passed by the company at
it's late meeting is appreciated
by the active members of the
company, and our citizens can
rest assured that their efforts in
the future will be augmented.
"There will probably be an en-
campment at Omaha next year,
at which place it is proposed to
mobalize 100000 men, to be under
the supervision of the war depart
ment. No doubt our boys will
make a showing that will be a
credit not only to themselves but
to the city from which they hail
in case the encampment ma
terializes.'

AFTERMATH OF WEDNESDAYS
FIGHT AIRED IN THE JUDIC-
IAL GRIST MILL.
Several Complaints Grow Out of the oc-
Commissioners Court
Probate Docket.

d
Justice court there were two
complaints against DR.. Harris
for fighting in public place and
for disturbing the peace. In the
same court there were two COM
plants against John Collins, one
for earring pistol and the other
for disturbing the peace. Anoth-
er complaint charged F. G. Nc
Intyre with fighting in a public
place, but was dismissed. Three
complaints, all against Collins,
were filed in the county court.
Two are for aggravated assault
on William Lusk and o. A. Sew
ard and the other for interfering
with an officer when trying to
make an arrest.
The cases against DR.. Harris
were the first called. He plead
guilty to both allegations. In
order that the court might use
proper discretion in assessing the
amount of the fines, the State
introduced the testimony of Mr..
VIM. Lusk, which in brief, was
to the effect that a protest from
him at the way Messrs. Collins
and Harris were driving one of
his horses had precipitated the
row, and that the assault on
Mcintyre at the hands of Harris
was entirely unprovoked. After
taking the matter under advise
ment until one o'clock, Justice
Ewing assessed Harris fine at
SIS in each case.
Later in the day Hon. Ben. S.
Rogers, council for Collins, en-
tered plea Of guilty for his
client to the charge of carrying
pistol and a fine of S25 was i'm
posed. The other case against
Collins went over until today
(Friday). Messrs. Searcy C
Garrett will assist in prosecuting
the county court cases.
