MIDLAND, Texas, Oct. THE citi-

loving town were cruelty startled and
grieveds sday or two ago upon the
announcement by telegraph of the
sudden death of Master Ertha Cowden,
promising and admirable youth and
son of our fellow citizen Geo. E. Cow
den, 9 wealthy cattle man. This
sad and sudden event was the out
come of a game of football, having
been kicked in the stomach, acciden
tally OF course. by one of his fellow
players. Congestion in the injured
parts and peritonitis were the imme-
date consequences, and death came q
ed by his grief-stricken parents on last
night express, and Inferred here to-
day. The whole community deeply
sympathize with the grief-stricken
parents and relatives, The deceased
was bright and promising youth be-
loved by all who knew him. He was
entered as student in the Pough-
keepsie Military Institute of New
York state about one month ago, with
hattering prospects and bright hopes,
but alas! for the tolerance, by
many of our educational institutions,
OF such thoughtless, dangerous,
and barbarous games as football and
others. ct i'd omne genus, this splendid
young man and many others in quite
recent years have fallen prema turely
as mournful Victims to the neglect
and criminal Indifference of those upon
whom devOlve the custody and man
agement of our youth. We emphatic
ally say, out with all such games now
practiced either by youth or adult, in
volving risks to climb or life;" espe-
cislly such dangerous and disgraceful
breaches OF refinement and civilization
as football, hurdle-leaping, sprinting
or prize fighting, etc. They should
be prescribed by national law, under
the heaviest penalties.
Mr.. N. B. Brown, one of our fellow
citizens and also manager of our tele-
phone system, and large cattle owner,
was married on the 4th inst. to Mrs.
Dulany, sister of Mrs. A. A. Allen of
our town. And the old boy looks as
happy and serenely ever since as q
great big sun flower in full bloom.
Congratulations are now in order and
should be given promptly. Mr.. Chas.
Capps and Miss Westmoreland were
married here last week. Both were
residents of this town.
Mr.. I. G. Bell, OF this city, and Miss
Black, of Leon, Texas, were married

Oyster suppers and musical concerts
are now the order here, "par excel

Effort Made to Pull 1t Of in oakford
Court

A quarrel which would have un-
doubtedly terminated in an affair of
honor" with peculiarly unpicturesque
surroundings, was broken up last night
night by the prompt action Of the po-
lice.
Instead OF IAN open space in the
gloomy forest with the sun peering
down through the branches" the
scene of action was the darkest por-
ton of that particularly iunromantic
locality, Oakford court. The contest
ants instead of being noble looking
fellows. attircd in black knee breeches
and white shirts with lace friils were
two low-sized, swarthy-faced, VIII
famous looking fellows.
They had had some trouble in No.
3l5 Centre street and had repaired to
the alley to fight 1t out. Patrolman
Karius and Sergeant Reese G.. Jones
were in the Centre street station
house when a man rushed in and told
them of the quarrel. They rushed
down the court and captured the two
men who were just at n stage when
weapons would be drawn in another
moment.
When searched in the station house
n razor was found in the pants pocket
of one while the box was in his vest
pocket showing that he had it ready
to draw at a moments notice.
The other had villanous looking
stiletto in his back pocket. 1t had a
pointed blade eight inches long. They
will be given a hearing this morning
in police court.
