DALLAS, Tex, June 2S.-One Of tbs
most sensational tragedies ever enacted
in Northern Texas took place in the
Methodist Episcopal churchyard In
Pleasant Valley. twenty-five mile.
north OF this city, in the course Of SER
vices yesterday. As a result Augustus
Garrison and Frank Jones are dead anc
Thomas Jones probably fatally wound
ed.
The Garrison and Jones families are
among the most prominent planters In
this section Of Texas They own ad-
Joining plantations and have been on the
best of social relations for many years
Augustus Garrison was married man
and had a daughter Is years OF age
named 10y. The Jones brothers were
single. Frank Jones for year or more
had been very partial in his attentions
to Garrison's daughter. Recently the
girl charged him with having seduced
her under promise of marriage The
matter became a neighborhood scandal
in Pleasant Valley and Garrison swore
he would have the life of the betrayer OF
his daughter.
Mutual friends succeeded in keeping
the men apart until yesterday when the
first meeting between them since the
scandal took place.
The Garrison and Jones families wor-
ship at the same church. Just as the
preacher had taken his text after prayer
and the singing Of hymn, Garrison
who had a seat near the door, stepped to
the doorway. 1t is believed to get some
fresh air, as the atmosphere in the
room was oppressive. He had no more
than reached the doorway when the
congregation were startled by a fusil-
lade of pistol shots. Nearly dozen were
fired in about as many seconds time.
When the firing ceased August Garr.-
son and Frank Jones were lying dead in
front of the church and Thomas Jones
was stretched on the lawn near by, one
hand clasped on his right thigh and in
his left he held pistol. His right thigh
in front was shattered by ~ caliber
bullet that had torn its way downward,
mutilating the flesh for a distance of
six inches
His statement of the shooting was
brief and in substance that he and his
brother Frank were approaching the
church door and were within ten feet
of it when Garrison appeared and in
stantly drew his pistol.
His brother Frank. he said, was hit
by the first discharge and before he
could draw his weapon. Thomas drew his
pistol and opened fire on Garrison in
defense of his brother. Garrison, after
Frank fell, opened fire on Thomas
Frank Jones was shot three times, once
in the region Of the heart, once in the
right side and once in the head. Garri-
son received but one bullet and that
pierced his heart. Neither man lived
long enough to scarcely realize his fate.
Parties came to Dallas to arrange for
the undertaking details to report to the
sheriff, and to take physicians to at
tend Thomas Jones, who is not expected
to recover.

tee did not originally disturb, made
as a compensation for the increase on
