Report-The Breech is Healed.

The police commission held its regular
meeting in the council chamber at the city

ency of the weather only four members

Importance was transacted.
Chief Austin made his monthly report,
which was read and approved The report
is as follows:

Yours very respectfully,
c. w. AUSTIN,
Chief of Police.
The question of allowing police officers
ito collect arresting fees in cases where the
defendant was wanted in other cities was
brought up. 1t was decided THAT all arrest
ing fees already collected Should be allowed.
a resolution was offered to the effect that
in the future no fees be charged, as cour-
tesy to outside officials. AS only four COM
missoners were present, it was decided to
let the resolution go over to the next meet
ing. officer Disheroon was allowed $40 re-
ward for recovering some valuable jewels
belonging to Mrs. Hillman.
1t was expected that reference to the re-
cent clash between the commissioners re-
garding the pool selling law would be
brought up. Peace has been restored,
however, and except in a pleasant way no
reference whatever was made to tine dis
pute.

AFEARFUL TRAGEDY
ANOTHER SAD CHsRFEa IN TIE
HISTORY OF GONZALES.
T. Il Boothe Dead and !. D. Houston
and Geo. L, Houston Wounded
George Houston Serious.

Another sad chapter in the his.
tory of Gonzales occurred. yesterday
evening just few minutes before
6 o'clock. AS the first pistol shot
rang out intuition flashed the
thought to the mind Saat there was
trouble and thatlife waHin danger.
The first shot was pllowed by a
number Of shots ipidsuccession.
Only few seconds elapsed between
the first and last shots, but the
result was fearful and,all over before
it could be realized what was hap
pening.
Near the sidewalA ip front of the
Beringer buildingx ktly occupied
by. schleyer Brs, Mr.. Tom
BOothe mortall, kSded. Mr..
George Houston aHdSiis father, Mr..
J. D Houston, were also wounded,
Mr.. George Houston quite serious.
Mr.. Houston and his son were
Immediately taken to their homes
by friends in buggies and medical
aid summoned. Mr. Bootbe was
also soon taken to his home.
The scene was most heart-rending
as Mrs, s. ]. Houston, sister-in-law
Of Mr.. j. D. Houston and mother
in-law ofMr. Boothe, wasin Fischer
Brothers store at the time shopping
only a few doors from the difficulty.
All kind of runors we're afioat as
to the shooting and tits therefore
useless to attempt to give any of
them except the result. Mr.. L. H.
Boothe was nephew Of Mr., J. D.
Houston by marriage.
The Inquirer understands the diff
ficulty was the outcome of a differ
ence in the settlement of the r. A,
Houston estate of which Mr.. ]. d.
Houston was executor.
Mr.. II. II. Boothe was shot six
times, one shot passing through the
front part of the neck, through the
left and right breast, one through
the right hand one in the hip and
one or two other wounds,
Mr.. George Houston was shot
through the body on the right side,
the ball entering just below the
breast and coming ont in the back
near the back hone.
Mr. j. D. Houston was shot
through the right arm above the
elbow. being only Aesh wound.
Mr., T. II. Boothe died at lilo
o'clock this morning
The woundof Mr.. George Houston
is considered a very dangerous
wound. DR.. Graves, oeSan Antonio,
was summoned by Mr.. Houston
soon after the shooting to give med
ical assistance and arrived on a
special train at 10 O'clock. Therun
from San Antonio wasNmade in two
hours
II is Onlythe greatest wonder that

the Sidewalk and there were Il great
number Of people on the street. The
delivery horse of Mr.. s. Stahl, stand
ing across the street was shot in the
leg. One stray bullet went into the
store of S. S, Cobb. One hit tele-
phone pole in front of Cook Il Vests
barber shop, and one bullet went
through the fixtures of Mr.. Ber-
myers saloon near several work
men.
The shooting was at close range
and was with six-shooters. Accord
ing to the best opinion there were
ten shots fred-six by Mr.. George
Houston and four by Mr.. Boothe
Mr.. Boothe was 81 years of age.
His remains were inferred in the
Public Cemetery at 6 o'clock. Rev
G.. II. Lacey conducted the funeral
services. Mr.. Boothe leaves a young
wife and two small children, besides
an aged mother and several broth
ers and sisters almost crazed with
grief. A host of friends sympa-
thfze With the family Sthsls sor-
row and grief and u gloom is cast
