ANOTHER WACO TRAGEDY
BraRn Of the IeOnoeIaAt Meets Death st
the Hands OF NJ. Y. Davis. Who
May Also DIE.

Davis duel, from which the fol-
lowing Is taken:
Waco, April LIN the midst
of busy preparations for city
election meetings while bands
were playing and scattering
handbills from their decorated
vans calling the people togeth-
er, w. G. Brann. editor of the
Iconoclast, and Capt. M. It. Da-
Wis met and fought a revolver
duel to death.
The combatants met just at 6
o'clock this afternoon on South
Fourth street. in front of the
Cotton Belt ticket Office, and
after exchanging a few words,
both drew and began emptying
their revolvers into each others
bodies.
When the battle was over,
Brann was found to be perfora-
ted in the left lung, the left leg
and the right foot. Davis was
shot through the right lung aud
through both of his arms. The
surgeons say both men are like
ly to die.
The difficulty between the
two men grew out of the Brann-
Baylor feud of last year. Capt.
Davis daughters are pupils of
Baylor university and the ref
erences made in the Iconoclast
to Baylor, which were generally
construed to mean reflections
on the moral character of pu-
pills and faculty, brought forth
from Capt. Davis denunciation
of Brann delivered in language
most forcible and direct.
About ton seconds were occu
pied in the shooting, at the end
of which Brann and Davis lay
bleeding and Will II. Ward
Brann's business manager. was
shot through the right hand, the
bones being shattered.
A wild bullet hit Motormar

The testimony of the eye
witnesses conflict. The tragedy
arose and passed like a fiasl
when no one was prepared
Captain Davis thought he hat
two men to fight and he wen
to work with a will. Brann'
reputation as a fighter was at {
discount here, but in bis las
battle he exhibited the requiret
: mettle. Shelter was at hand
but he scorned it. He stoo,
like a soldier and gave shot 70

IN DEFENSE OF AMERICA.

Rarely are the bad motives of men
misunderstood; rarely are their good
and disinterested motives understood.
And what are nations but aggregations
of men?. In the war with Spain upon
which the United StateS are entering,
Europe has misunderstood the motives
of the American people; she has utter
" failed to realize that they have no
sinister purpose In this general mis-
apprehension England has not Joined,
and there are often heard voices raised
| in defense of America One Of them
is that of Sir Walter Besant. He says:
Imagine to yourselves, if you can, the
boiling madness of wrath II nation
pretending to be friendly TO US were
suspected of blowing up one OF our nm
est vessels and destroying some nun
dreds of our gallant sailors. Imagine,
say. the madness of rage Which would
seize llpon our people. Then consider
the4 conduct of the Americans. They
have welded to wise counsels; they
have patiently waited for an investiSa-
zion. I saw that their first madness
was what was to be expected of ma
ton: that their self-restraint has been
far greater than We should have ex-
hibited under similar provocaticn; ana
that the conduct OF the AFFAIR, so lar,
reflects infinite credit on their states

Very likely; the wonder is that they

Let us remember that his wisdom can
only be practically exhibited so long
as it rests on the wisdom and SELF
restraint of the people.
Consider the other side of the cuban
question. For long years rebellion
has been fighting it's way in the island,
a rebellion, in the eyes of the Ameri-
cans. on the side of freedom and against
tyranny. Perhaps some Of the charges
of tyranny have been exaggerated.
The feeling in the states is that the
rebellion is righteous because every
man has a right to fight for freedom.
The war has been carried on with ruth
less ferocity. If we believe the state

LET VOLUNTEERING BE PRo-lPT

Yesterday station was opened at
the armory in this city for the enlist
ment of volunteers. Today such sta
tions will be opened in several of the
leading towns of the state. 1t is much
to be desired that the states quota be
promptly filled To do this men must
come forward promptly, and no doubt
they will In the various towns there
should be as many volunteers in pro-
portion as from this city; this will
make the Utah troops thoroughly rep
resentative In no section of the coun-
try can better horsemen be found than
here. To the native youth life in the
saddle is as natural as life by the fire
side. Every one acquainted with horses
knows that a man never becomes per-
fectly at home in the saddle who learns
to ride after he has req aed maturity;
and this is the reason Why cavalry
from the western states is desired, for
the officials of the war department
know that the men of the far western
states are very superior horsemen.
The enlistment should be prompt,
that the volunteers may be mustered
into the service of the government as
soon as possible. Every man who en-
lists should constitute himself q re-
cruiting agent to aid the efforts of the
members of the board Of recruiting OIL
GERS. The close of the week should see
Utah's quota Of volunteers complete. a
number of the states already have their
quotas ready to march at the word of
command. Don't let Utah be laggard.

THE APPOINTMENT OFFICERS.

The governor of Massachusetts, like
the governors of all the other states,
has been deluged with tenders of serv-
ices for the war, but the tenders have
generally been accompanied with re-
quest for a commission. The other day
he received an offer of services from a
citizen of some prominence, who de-
sired to serve his country in the ca
pacity of a private soldier. than which
there is none more honorable, though
many more distinguished. And, speak
ing of officers, Governor Wolcott said:
1.-The proper differing of a company, to
see that good, capable men are Sc
Iected, is of paramount Importance.
This was amply proven in the war of
the rebellion, where, if any calcula-
tions could be made, it would be found
that hundreds of thousands of lives
were lost through the perfect incom-
potency of volunteer officers. They
were good fellows and popular men,
but they did not make good officers"
The success of our arms will depend
very largely upon the regimental and
company officers; no matter how good
and even great the corps and division
commanders and the generals in COM
mand, if the officers under them are
incompetent their best efforts Will lose
much of their force, and the deepest
laid plans of battle are apt to fall far
short of what should be their legiti-
mate result The appointment of in
competent officers means a needless
sacrifice of men and treasure. 1t seems
at first a strange statement to make,
but it is a true one, that men do not
know how to take care of themselves
in the field and they must be made to
do it by their officers; this is particu-
larly true of men unused to a military
life. When it comes to leading men
into action, incompetent officers are
almost worse than no officers. There
they are in the very. presence of death,
and the soldier must depend upon his
officers
The Jtah volunteers will have some
very excellent officers. Some have had
the advantages of a West Point educa-
ton, others have passed through pri-
vate military schools, while others have
belonged to the national guard and
have devoted considerable time to the
study of the art of war. OF course,
active service in the field will act as a
sitting process, and it will not be at all
remarkable if there are some dis
appointments.
We are glad to commend the spirit by
which Governor Wells viii be guided
in the matter of selecting officers.
| Speaking of the matter the other day,
so we are informed, some criticism of
a contemplated appointment was made,
and the reply his excellency made to
it was that if a better man could be
found he would be glad TO appoint
him, as his sole aim was to find the
best men, and he did not care who
they were nor from what part of the
state they came. Give the Utah troops
! the best officers that can be procured.
