IS PLEASED WITH THE OUTLOOK.

Mr.. ]. E. Farusworth, General
Superintendent Of the Southwest
ern Telephone company who was
in the city yesterday, was inter
viewed by reporter of the Texar-
kauian.
"My instructions to the Superin-
tendent of Construction of the
company" said Mr.. Farnsworth,
were to go ahead and build a strict
ly up to date exchange, and reach
all first class people wanting tele-
phones, where the construction was
anything like within reason.
81 have also known we we're
spending lots of money, but with all
this am greatly surprised at the
extent of the construction and the
extent of the facilities provided,
Had l had time to visit here before
this, should have hedged some
what, and put in lighter poles in a
number of places. However, we
have always made the mistake of
building less than the requirements
of the future, and it may be very
possible that we will soon find that
we need very tall poles and all the
wire space we have provided for.
If the present rate Of increase keeps
up few months longer, this will
certainly be the case. Texarkana
is very much scattered and this
helps to make a good telephone
town. We now have nearly two
hundred and fifty subscribers, and
orders tor about thirty more. If
the Increase keeps up Texarkana
will have the distinction of having
more telephones in proportion to
the population than any town in
the south.
"Our Central Office at this place
has the best equipment and is fixed
up the fnest of any telephone office
in the two states, except Dallas.
1T is a beauty and I hope your
cisizens will come up and see it.
The long distance line is now be-
ing built to Little Rock, via. Nal
vern, and the men are north of the
river. We are only waiting for one
more car of wire to commence on
the line to Clarksville. Both lines
ought to be completed before
March first"

Iowa House Burned.

Yesterday morning, between 1880
and 4 o'clock, the alarm of fire was
turned in from the Iowa House, on
Front street near the Ice factory,
We learn, the colored man, whose
duty it was to report at or about
this time, to make fires in the cook
room and then meet the passenger
train coming in from the west, built
his fire in the stove and then left
for the depot to attend to his other
duty, and when he returned found
the kitchen full of flames. The
two fire companies responded
promptly but when they coupled to
the hydrant they could get no pres
sure for fully twenty minutes and
by this time the house was good on
fire and the flames could not be
stayed and the house and contents
were entirely destroyed.
The Iowa House was big frame
building and contained twenty
rooms and four large halls. 1t WIS

s.calchl At the Auditorium

Mr.. ]. A. VanHoose promises US a great
musical treat in the auditorium on next
Wednesday night. 1t has been SO long since
grand opera artists have been heard here
that the coming of the Scalchi Grand Oper-
attic Company is looked forward to with
great interest, especially by the muslc-lov
ing people. This is to be Madame Scalchis
farewell American tour, consequently no
other opportunity will be presented to hear
her.
Associated with the star are some world
renowned operate artists, including the
great baritone, Sig. Albert, who made q
great success with the Mapleson Grand OPP
era Company.
The program will consist of strictly leglti-
mate concert numbers, and Scalch will be
heard in some of her most famous arias.
Owing to the large seating capacity of the
auditorium, the management has deemed 1t
advisable to reduce the price to one-half of
that usually charged, and thus gives every
one an opportunity of hearing this superb
organization.

officers Jack Mcdonald and Bob Patton
of the police department. who arrested Col
son after an exciting chase, were examined
and testified as to the capture.
She Saw Last Shot
The next witness was Miss Willie Leach,
a young lady who resides with her parents
at the corner of Eleventh street and Third
alley, near where the shooting took place
and who claims to have seen Golson shoot
Mr.. Warnock as he rushed out of the
house.
Miss Leach is a tall, handsome young
woman and was cool and collected. She
answered the questions propounded to her
by the attorneys, and her testimony was
damaging to the defendant She was
equally as cool on cross-examination and
adhered strictly to the statement made in
her direct examination.
In answer to the interrogations Of Mr.
Morrow, she said in substance:
my name Is Mile Leach. I live at the
corner of Sixteenth street and Third alley
was in the coal house in the back yard
on the Sunday afternoon when the shooting
began. Knowing that my little brother was
in the alley, I ran out to see If he had been
hurt. I saw smoke coming out of Golson's
door. Could only see the top of the door
at first but ran further down in full view
of the door, and saw Will Golson come out
with a revolver in his hand. Mr.. Warnock
was leaning back against the wall, and ap-
peared to be looking down. AS Golson ran
out on the porch he wheeled around and
fired at Mr.. Warnock. He then jumped
into the alley and started towards me.
ran back and got in the yard. I saw Mr.
Barker come out and fire at Golson from
behind a little house in Golson's yard, and
Goson returned the fire and then ran out
of the alley. I did not see Mr. Warnock
have pistol. Only saw one shot fired at
the house. That was fired by Golson when
he came out on the porch. don't know
whether the bullet struck Mr.. Warnock, as
1 did not stop to see. I saw Mr.. Barker
shoot at Golson, and saw Golson shoot
back"
Mr.. Montgomery, for the defense. tried
to shake the witness TESTIMONY, but che
was not to be trapped, and gave consistent
answers to the question propounded by the
attorney. When her examination was con-
cluded a recess was taken until 2 o'clock.

At the conclusion of Mrs. Wagner's ex-
animation court adjourned until o'clock
this morning with the understanding that
only an hours recess would be taken at
noon today in order that the trial could
be completed.
After adjournment, Golson's wife asked
to be allowed to talk to him which was
granted. Golson was placed in the pris-
oners cage and the woman allowed to
enter and for a few moments they were
in close consultation.
During the day Golson sat quietly in his
chair with his eyes fixed on the witnesses.
Several times he spoke to his attorneys
and carefully watched every movement.
He seems to realize the seriousness of the
charge against him and since the trial be-
gan, the sober expression on his face has
not changed.

STATE CONCLUDES EVIDENCE
Captain 0'Brien Called Back to
the Stand
TO PROVE GOLSON'S INTENT
To Resist Arrest - Little Negro Girl
Who Was in Room at the Time
Was Examined Case May
Reach Jury Today.

The Golson case is nearing an end and
will probably be concluded late this after
noon. With the examination of Mary
Olivia Hunt, an 11-year-old negro girl, who
was in Golsons house when the shooting
began, the state rested its case yesterday
afternoon, and witnesses for the defense are
now being examined.
The criminal court room was again
crowded to its utmost capacity yesterday
morning when the trial was resumed before
Judge Greene and as on the previous day
the majority of the spectators were
negroes.
Sheriff O'Brien who was the last witness
examined on Thursday, was recalled and
testified that Golson had asked him what
would have been the penalty If he had been
convicted on the charge of larceny.
In reply to Golson's query he testified
that he had told him probably two years

coming out of his mouth. Some one said
go for a doctor. I went to the Golson
house and went on the porch. My mother
called me, and when I went to her at our
back fence, Willie Leach was standing
there talking. There were two shots to-
gether and then three or four more, and
after 1t was all over some white man
stuck his head around the corner of the
stable and fired one shot. The man going
out of the alley was not running. He was
walking fast He had something in his
hand. Don't know what 1t was. Didn't
pay any attention to him. Heard some one
cry out, ooh, Mr.. White Man, don't shoot
my little children" I never went into the
room where the shooting occurred.
Cross Examination-I was standing on
the ground near our side fence when
heard the shooting. Heard two shots and
stepped up on the fence and saw a heavy
set white man standing in Goson's door.
jumped down and ran to the back fence
and climbed over. When got to the alley
the firing had stopped. I went down to
Golsons house; I was not excited; didn't
see the body fall off our porch. Didn't go
back up the steps. When got to the alley
there were good many white and black
people in the alley. Don't say that Miss
Leach was not there; did not see her.
Re-Direct-When I got to the alley
looked toward VIII Golsons house. There
were others coming out into the alley;
didn't see Miss Leach standing near Dams
stable or coming from that direction.
When first put my foot up on the fence
1 looked towards Golson's and saw several
negroes standing in the alley in front of
the house.

streets. am the mother of Mrs. Crawford.
She lives with me. 1 remember the time
when Mr.. Warnock is said to have been

Golson's house. Was in the back yard a
few minutes before the shooting and no.
