81 waco. Texas.

Waco. Texas, Nov. 20. -,kW. Har-
ris, editor OF the Waco Tir}es-Herald,
and w. A. Harris, his bro her, on one
side, and Judge @. B. Gerald, . prom.
inent citizen, fought q du6 TO the
death Oh the street last hight at 6
o'clock. w. A. Harris was s1ot dead.
j. w. Harris was wounded fatally, his
body being peralyzed and Getald vas
shot in the side and may die.
The trouble was the outcome of the
mobbiug Of w. C Brann, publisher Of
the I~conoclast. Gerald was an ex.
county Judge and one Of Waco's most
prominent citizens He had written .
bitter criticism on Baylor university
with reference to tho recent mobbing
Of w. c. Brann, and had fled IL with
Editor Harris for publication.
Aftcrward he asked TO have his man
uscript returned, and became incensed
at the editors delay IN complying.
Bad feeling resulted and when Judge
Gerald was crossing tho street AZ the
corner OF Fourth and Austin streets AZ
8 o'clock, Editor Harris came out Of .
drug store and opened fire upon him.
Gerald Immediately drew his revolver
and returned the fire, hitting Harris
In the neck.
Hearing tho shooting, w A. Harris
came upon the scene and took a hand
In the fusillade, shooting Gerald from
behind. Gerald pursued him into the
drug store, shooting MS he ran. Har-
ris fell to the floor with the words;
"You shot mo in the back" Gerald
emptied the remaining charges in his
weapon into the PROSTATE form OF his
victim, killing him on tho spot, and
then loft the scene. A little colorcd
boy who stood near was shot in the
leg by O stray bullet.
Editor Harris was carried into the
drug store by friends. His wife and
daughter were notified aud we're soon
1t his side. The scene was pitiful,
the wife and daughter weeping, while
the husband and father lay PROSTATE,
unable to move a muscle OF his body,
Or to speak. His w~indpipe had been
tevered by a bullet which injured his
spinal column. He was removed TO
his home, but cannot live.
Judge Gerald was wounded In the
neck and side. While serious, his
wounds cannot be said 70 bo neces-
sarily fatal. The excitement Is very
great, and public opinion seems to be
divided.

Curtis, the nineteen-ycar.old son of
Clarence Curtis, q farmer living near

"Third-That il the Cubans do not

Secretaries Dahlman. Edgerton, and
Laws of the state board of .ransporta-
tionwent over TO South Omaha Monday
morning and began the investigation
OF the alleged excessive charge for
transportation of live stock by the
railway companies under their new
tariff, which charges by the hundred
pounds instead of by the car as for
merly. This complaint is made q part
of the general complaint of overcharg-
ing filed by Il. II. Tibbles, but IL is
backed up by j. II. Van Boskirk of
Alliance, secretary of u live stock ship
ping association, which by resolution
at a recent meeting, directed him To
prefer and prosecute the charge. Van
Boskirk was present today to urge the
case, although the commission, or
rather Secretary Edgerton, the lawyer
OF The board of secretaries, propounded
the Inquiries that brought out the
testimony for the complaint.
The railways were represented by a
big squad OF attorneys. A number of
witnesses were examined relative to-
the rates for stock. IL appeared from
the testimony that under the old sche-
dule shippers used to pack the cattle
into the cars as tightly as The safety of
The cattle would permit, as the cost
wa the same for a packed car as for
one thai was not 50 well filled. Now
the railroad companies provide a mini
mum charge for the car. and IL the
load runs over n specified weight ac-
cording TO the length of the ear, there
Is n charge Of 80 much n hundred for
all over the minimum. Shippers there
fore now only seek TO be certain that
they get enough cattle into n car to
reach the minimum. II Is claimed that
under the new Schedule of rates
the cost is 80 per cent greater than
1t was under the old. The railroads
deny this.
The hearing was continued to Tues
day.

most OF the boys and girls appeared
with onions in their pockets Or with

in their number having disseminated
the idea that such . course would

against Mrs. Nellie +. Latta, who keeps
q drug store at that place, changing
her with unlawfully selling liquor.
The case was continued two or three

and arguments, Judge Eaton dismissed
the case, there being no evidence that
Mrs. Latta had violated the law. At
the time of her arrest her clerk, George
Webbcr was also arrested on the sane
charge, but since has left for parts
unknown.
