A TEXAS FREE FIGHT
Two Men Killed and Two Wounded
Over q Hog Stealing Case

Houston. Texas. June 7.-As the re-
suit of an indictment charging hog
theft a shooting ARRAY occurred here
today in which Thomas Payne and L.
D. Echols We're killed, J. B. Perkins
was fatally and Dave Echols badly
wounded. Payne's son was on trial
and the Echols had been summoned as
witnesses. The men met down town
and after a few words the shooting be-
gan. Perkins was a brother-in-law OF
Payne and he and Echols fired at about
the same time. Echols' bullet struck
Payne and in the same second Perkins
shot and killed Echols. Dave Echols
opened fire on Perkins and on Payne
and two bullets struck Perkins. A
wound in the groin will probably prove
fatal. Perkins wounded Dave Echols
in the arm. and amputation will be
necessary. The younger Payne was
not hurt. The street was crowded at
h time of h shooting. but no one
save those directly involved were hurt.
Every bullet fired struck the mark,
with the exception of one which young
Payne fired n which struck his faith
er though he was probably dead at the
time

VIII Not Scare David.

\ A populist organi in South Dakota an
nounce that If the democrats nominate
David B. Hill for president neither the
populists nor the democrats Of South
Dakota will vote for him. The an
nouncement leaves us to infer that they
will also not vote for him If he Is not
nominated. Thus and therefore, also
consequently, things look dark for Mr..
Hill in South Dakota. Mr.. Hill, howev-
or, may extract comfort even If 1t be OF
the melancholy variety, from the fact
that that state is hopelessly republican;
that the combined populist and demo-
cratic vote in last years election was
only IL per cent. of the whole; that
Wharton Baker, Middle Of the Road
populist nominee for president, receiv-
ed only 339 votes, while Wooley, the
prohibitionist, received 1,542; that out
of III members Of the legislature the
republicans have a majority OF 1o2 yer
the ~fusionists. In view OF these 1acts
the threat of the populist organ herein
before mentioned will hardly be suff1-
cient to frighten Mr.. Hill from the
track If he really desires to enter the
race.-7kashville American (Dem-)

FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1901.
ALL WANT PosroFFICE.

ALL WANT POSTOFFICE.
The interviews as published else
where in the Independent have ar
reused the animals in the poStotfice
fight and the candidates are "but-
ton holing" at every turn. Hereto
fore the business men and political
wire pullers have been rendered
free of charge "the tale OF woe" OF
the postofiice aspira, :, but today
they have been besieged. Every
candidate has convincing proof { in
his own mind) that his claims or
the party are most deserving.
The truth IS that there is a hot
factional war on. Chairman Skunk
is said to be behind Mr.. Yockey
and is leaving no stones unturned in
order to land his candidate. Mr.
Jockeys opponents claim that
Chairman Skunk expects to be the
deputy in case Mr.. Yockey is sue
cessful.
Judge Hess is championIng the
cause of Mr.. Conger, so it IS said
The judge is not in the fight for any
emoluments, but for the gratifica-
ton that will come to him IN up
turning the Skunk machine. He
has long disputed Shunk's right to
party prestige, claiming that he Sc
cured the craftsmanship by trickery,
having called snap convention and
had himself selected before the
party delegates could possibly be
present.
The war is between these two
factions-Shunk, ockey vs.. Hess,
Conger. That it will be bitter
contest there can Re no doubt. The
little moves that have been kept I'M
der the surface heretofore are now
leaking out and as full knowledge
comes the strife of the factions
grow.
Mr.. Simons and Mr.. Slater are
receptive candidates, but more ac-
tive than the ordinary receptive
candidate. They are watching the
"Shunk, Yockey VS.. Hess, Conger''
fight with interest and each hopes
to profit by the war of the powers.
Hendricks and Bonham have al
most been lost sight of in the skirm-
ish. Truth is, that Bonham has
never Deen considered as having the
remotest chance of success. His
party associates say that he is all
right as ward plugger, but very
much out of place as a postoflice as
pirant. Hendricks is handicapped
because of the fact that he has al
ways been known as a democrat
until he purchased the Republican
office, and his short residence in the
county is also against him. The
other candidates do not reckon him
as being in the race.
1t is likely that Congressman
Brick will settle the contest within
the next ten days.
