Dallas Visited by Fire.

The city of Dallas was visited by
the fire fiend yesterday in all his
fury. The. fire occurred in a resi-
dent district in East Dallas and
started about III O'Clock. Twenty
five residences were totally destroy
ed and five or six badly damaged,
entailing a loss of about SO, 900.
In fighting the fire fifteen ffremen
were overcome with heat and had to
be carried away in ambulances.
John CLARK, driver of a chemical
engine, was prostrated while hold
ing the nozzle of a hose and was
carried away unconscious. He new
er rallied and died last night about
s O'Clock. Several citizens were
prostrated while assisting the fire.
men in their fight against the flames.
Every building in the neighborhood
was of frame construction and dry
as tinder and under the heavy wind
the fire leaped and spread with
great rapidity. The water pressure
was weak when the fire broke out
and the few streams thrown on the
burning house had little if any
effect on the flames.

GETTING THE RIGHT OF WAY
Col. Voss Secured Eight Deeds

Ennis News.

Ennis News.
Col. Voss, the interurban right OF
way man, and Mr.. G. L. Curry, his
notary public, spent last night in
Ennis. They stated to a News rep
resentative today that they secured
eight deeds to right of way on the
Boyce route yesterday and are to-
day going over the Ray route to see
the people along that line. Mr..
Voss says there are several land
owners on the southern route who
seem Indifferent, though others are
willing to give all the ground want
ed.
He says the Boyce route can be
built several Thousand dollars cheap
er than the other. The picturesque
ness of the Ray line is point in it's
favor, but the same feature makes
it the more expensive. He will file
complete report of all matters and
the company will decide the ques-
ton. Mr.. Voss says If he gets the
right of way through there is no
reason why grading should not be
commenced at once and the line
ought to be ready for operation by
next spring.

A Serious Accident.

Last night George Cole, colored,
who lives on Hon. S. p. Skinner Is
West End place, was brought in on
the southbound Katy train in crit
zeal condition as the result of inju-
ries sustained at some point on the
road. That he was badly hurt is
very evident but just how the acci.
dent occurred will probably never be
known. The explanation made by
the injured man was vague and in
coherent. From all that can be
learned it appears that Cole bought
a ticket to Lancaster Monday night.
AT the creek this side of that place
he fell from the train, sustaining in
juries which may result in his death.
He was found at the bridge yester-
day morning and the northbound
train tagged, on which he was tax
en- to Lancaster. He was brought
to Waxahachie on the first train
south and taken to his home where
medical treatment was summoned.

When Sheriff Bill Henderson was
In this city Monday he stated to a
reporter for this paper that his visit
here had no official Significance.
Since then the reporter has learned
that the mission here of Sheriff
Henderson was to place a prisoner
In the county jail for safe keeping.
The prisoner in question is a negro
youth who was doing time on the
Kaufman county poor farm. A few
days ago he made his escape and in
an effort TO recapture him an officer
named Wood was shot by the negro
and badly wounded. The negro was
finally arrested and placed in the
| Jail at Kaufman. Monday the OFF,
Ger was reported to be dying, and,
fearing that an attempt would be
made to mob the negro, he was has
