LAST NIGHTS SHOOTING.
Al Howard aud J. w. Johnson Cause
Considerable Excitement.

A pistol shoot in the Parlor saloon
between and s o'clock last night
caused a large crowd to gather there,
but only limited amount of imforma-
ton could be obtained as to the cause
of the shooting.
The facts as obtained by a HERALD
reporter this morning are as follows:
j. w. johnson is a cattleman who
visits this place quite often. Yester-
day he was at the ParlOr saloon and he
and Al Howard had been imbibing
/ freely all day. At about 1870 johnson,
Howard and the bar tender were the
only persons in the saloon when Col
lector Bauche. of Juarez, and Mr..
George Walker, of the Myar Opera
| House, walked in to take drink and
then Howard introduced Johnson to
both Mr.. Walker and Mr.. Bauche, tell
ing johnson that Mr.. Bauche was the
Mexican collector of customs. John
son then made an insulting remark
and said he didn't like a ''d-n MeXi-
can" Mr.. Bauche politely bowed and
walked out of the saloon followed by
Walker.
After they had left Howard asked
johnson what he meant by insulting
his friends in that N amer. johnson
then answered that he didn't like Mex
leans nor any one that took up for
them, and threatened TO whip any one
that didn't like VIII at he said. After
some little time Al Howard told John
son that if he was so anxious to fight
that he could getit and went behind
the bar and got pistol and hit John
son over the head. AS he attempted
to hit him the second time parties
caught his arm and the pistol went Off,
the ball lodging in the ceiling. At the
time job nsOn did not seem TO be badly
hurt. Howard left the saloon and went
home.
This morning Howard called on John
son in his room at the Lindell hotel
| and had long talk. johnson is not
| badly hurt. but did not sleep last night
and the doctors wanted quiet as they
| feared there might be serious results
| from the blow on the head as it gave
the patient considerable pain. There
was long cut over the eye and the
doctor took several stitches in the
wound last night Johnson did not
know this morning what the row was
about, and AL Howard said that he
remembered very little of the occur
renee.

The Dead Burglar.

Conrado Apodaca, aged 20, was the
thief whom Prieto SHOT and Killed nlgh
before last up the river: aud the cold,
cold corpus was brought down last
night by Undertaken Ross and planted
this afternoon in ConcOrdia.
Apodaca is tough formation, and
although only twenty, has for several
wears been highly successful outlaw
and salteador del canine. In stealing
COWS and horses, Apodaca was good
deal of an artist, and he had mug on
him that would not only break mirror,
but the Sabbath also. The outlaw had
a compadre, and the prec-
ious twain were in a narrow
passage way between Prieto's jacal and
corral when Prieto caught onto
the cheering fact that they wanted his
stock. Prieto reached for his shooting
irons, and the robbers had their guns
out too, but Prieto was TOO quick for
them. Apodaca fell dead with ball
through his head, and the other fellow
escaped, leaving the dead mans horse,
saddle ana pistol.
The hearing before Justice McKie
will be concluded tomorrow morning.

In the death of the Hon. William S.
Lempert which event was chrOnicled
in the HERALD S column on last week,
West Texas loses one of its best known
and ablest citizens. At the age OF
three years Mr.. Lempert came to San
Antonio in 1874, with his father, who
was an army officer, and shortly after
wards the family was located at Fort
Davis, then one of the most important
posts in the west. 1t is stated To at
since his first residence at Fort Davis.
he has never since been east of San An
tonic. When he was fifteen years old
his mother and father returned east,
but his health demanding that he re-
main in this mild climate, he was left
behind.
Mr.. Temper has helped to make the
history of West Texas. Strong in char
acter and principles of rectltude he was
ever foe to lawlessness, and exercised
quieting influence during those stir
ring times.
a friend says Of him she was mag
unanimous enemy and a sincere friend,
always self-possessed and with judg-
ment that was singularly correct, and
that Judgment once formed he was in
very truth law unto himself
