CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Dave Petty Turns Up in
Texas.

Dave Petty is under arrest at
Sherman, Texas, charged with
killing a Justice of the Peace
named D. M. Harris at Pottsboro,
ON the Oath of last October.
Petty will be remembered as
the man who led Dick Adams
into the. trap when e. B. Frayser's
cattle were stolen, and when the
officers waylaid the thieves at the
end of Tom Butfington's lane, and
where young Elihu Lynn was
killed, two or three years ago.
Petty was the chief witness
against Dick Adams in the COW.
stealing cases against him in this
court. Petty killed negro at
Chelsea and escaped from the
marshals and left the country and
has not been heard of since till
the Texas killing. On prellmin-
airy hearing Thursday of this
week Petty was committed to Jail
without bail, to await the action of
the grand jury. The Denison
Herald of yesterday contains the
following:
Half dozen of the employees of
the Katy at the West Denison
yards have been summoned as
witnesses in the case charging
Petty with the murder OF d. nj
Harris. They have all identified
Petty as the man they saw in the
yards on the night of October the
Oath after the murder was COM
mitted and their evidence will
have great weight in the trial.
No case has ever been tried in
Grayson county that has attracted
as much attention as this is
destined to attract when it
is put on its final trial.
The evidence has been worked up
with skill by the officers, and will
present some sensational features.
This added to the prominence ol
the deceased, and the manner Of
his death will all add to the in.
terest in the case at its final trial
The witnesses wanted by the off
GERS have all been secured and th,
state will be ready for trial wher
the case is called,

The Result.

The election in this county passed
off o. stly, there being a very light
vote cast Col. Barnett, for State
Treasurer, received the full vote of the
Republicans, and his majority was
fully up to the estimate made before
election. Cameron Republicans took
no stock in the character assassins and
voted straight on state ticket. On the
county ticket J. d. Swope was elected
Sheriff by eighty.seven votes, while
Mr.. E. w. Gaskill was reelected county
commissioners by a safe vote. The
county auditors, Messrs. G. l.. Butler
and w. H. Logue each received flat
tering vote. M. Brennan was elected
minority auditor.
The great surprise of the day
was the defeat of Chas. Gleason,
one of our candidates for county COM
missioner. For several davs it had
been rumored that certain Democrats
were quietly conducting a canvass,
having the defeat of Mr.. A. f. Vogt in
view. OF course this led the friends
of Mr. Vogt to exert themselve more
than was really necessary. ''Dead"
voting as will be seen by the returns,
was largely indulged in by the voters
of Lumber, Gibson and Grove. The
new board will be composed of A. F.
Vogt, E. w. Gaskill and A. w. Mason,
all gentlemen we'll qualified for the
duties.
The County Auditors elected are G.
L. Butler, w. H. Logue and M. Bren-
nan, all well adopted, for the arduous
duties.
