During the past month Mr.. Clar.
ence Pearson has been making a
house 10 house canvas among the
people in many parts Of the county
in the interest Of the Eagle, and to
ascertain the sentiment Of the PEG
pie regarding a stock show and ag-
ricultural exhibit next summer.
The results Of his good work in be-
halfof the latter have been made
manifest by the interviews we have
already published on the subject,
and we may add that his work for
the Eagle has been equally success
ful. Large numbers Of subscribers
have been added to our lists, and
the Eagle desires TO thank the peo-
pie for expressions Of endorsement
and for the uniform courtesy and
hospitality shown its representa-
tive everywhere. He will contin-
ue the work 'or an indefinite period,
extending II to surrounding coun.
ties, and renewing the acquaintance
with the people in Bryan's trade
territory formed by Mr. Palmer
during the summer months while
getting up the data for our August

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Shelter Blown up and Many Men
 Injured.


 The new shelter lately put in by the Texas X Arkansas Mining Company, eight miles south of the city exploded at about o'clock Monday morning, seriously scalding five men and slight ly injuring several others
 The injured are Charles Faulkner of Jefferson, Texas, badly scalded about head, chest and stomach; Bob Burns of Texas, arms and legs scalded; John Fitzgerald of Tenn, legs scalded; Will Cook, Polk county, legs scalded; Bryant Hardy, face and neck scalded; Alex Martin, face scalded; Frank Martain, cut on chin and Daniel Byrnes who was managing the work received wound in the cheek which knocked out some teeth. but will cause no serious trouble. Mir. Byrnes who is secretary of the company started the machinery early Monday morning at 9 o'clock, the steam gague showed 55 pounds pressure. The machinery was guaranteed to stand 100 pounds, but for some unknown reason, probably defective machinery. while the gague stood at that point terrific explosion completely demolished the new plant, wrecked the building and dealt terrible injury to all around it.
 Chrs. Faulkner was the most serious ly injured. He was horriably burned and as soon as he realized his con- dition his only desire was to get home to his family; although in no condition to travel his request was granted, and he was taken to Hatfield and put on the train for Jefferson, Texas. He held up with such courage that it was hard to tell how dangerously he was injured, but it is feared he cannot re- cover
 In spite of this terrible misfortune it is stated that as soon as the injured were cared for the work of clearing up the wreck was commenced prepara- tory to repairing the building for new machinery to take the place of that just demolished. The members of the company believe they have a paying mine and will let nothing stop their work.

Winch Lambert Shot While In His
 Bed Asleep.

Lambert, went to the house where Winch lived, and upon opening the door saw his brother lying on the bed. lie went up to him and made the horri- ole discovery that he was dead and had been shot with rife or pistol in the neck, the ball coming out on the side of his head He immediately called in the neighbors, and among them was Mir. Bolen who said he heard the shot little before daylight but thought nothing of it at the time.
 The deceased is a man about 35 years old and single, living by himself and working his little farm. He was liked by all his neighbors and it is not known that he had any enemies. It is therefore impossible to understand the motive of the deed Tracks were found leading up to the door and away again showing that the murderer sent the fatal shot through the partly open door.
 The murdered man has brother, Jim Lambert living at Egger and his mother Mrs. Samuel Lam bert has been living with her daughter, Mrs. Henry Cordell, about 3 miles east of town. The entire family is we'll and favorably known throughout the country, and this vile deed has arous- ed their friends to such pitch that every effort will be made to apprehend the cowardly assassin and see that he receives his just reward.
 LATER. The evidence brought be- fore the corners jury caused it to re- turn verdict charging a certain party with the murder. His name and the particulars are withheld until the arrest IS made.
