Mr.. jackson and Mr.. Lewis decided
it was all foolishness to go any
further with the case, and Mr.. Lewis
said he would act as judge and Mr..
jackson could not refrain from act
ing as counsel for both sides. The
Judge frequently forgot his dignity
and butted in as counsel for all con-
cerned.
Mr.. Albert Davis and Col. George
Steiniger were jurymen but had little
to say, as the judge told them all to
be quiet, except Jackson, whom he
said couldn't keep still if he wanted
to, and he would explain the law.
Mr.. Steiniger thought he knew more
about it than Davis, at least, and
wanted to bet box of compound
cathartic pills against Cremo cigar
that he could fix it in FIVE minutes.
About midnight a compromise was
reached wherein the defendant paid
all costs and the suit was dismissed.
The court at Marble Hill was notified
by wire, and the beligerents return
ed to their homes we'll satisfied, with
Lewis and Jackson looking very
chesty over their success as lawyers.

The Killing of John Greer.

On Saturday morning, January
IS, the people Of Brownwood were
shocked to hear that Il dead man
had been found near the saloon
north of the depot. Your CORES
pondent has endeavored to get the
particulars, which are as follows:
About IL O'Clock last Friday
night Chris Alters, who had been
at work at the factory until late,
was returning home, when near the
depot he met Johu Greer, who was
coming from Sturdivant, and see
ing light in the saloon, Greer
requested Alters to go with him to
the saloon.
On arriving at the saloon they
found Thos. Hargrave, the proprie
tor. and his brother Charles. who
had gone there to get some whisky
for their younger brother, Grover,
who is sick with pneumonia. Charles
took the whisky and left.
After serving his late customers
Hargrave told them that he wanted
to close up, to which Greer object
ed. Words followed and Greer
started toward Hargrave and struck
at him. Hargrave struck Greer, a
counter being between them, and
he fell, face downward, striking a
heavy boxing around the stove.
Hargrave ran around to him as if
he would strike him again, when
Alters stepped up admonished him
not to strike him again, remarking
that he was bleeding. AS Hargrave
wanted to go home and supposing
him only stunned, and that he
would sober up when out in the air
as he was intoxicated when he ar
rived, Hargrave and Alters carried
him out on the porch, locked up
and left.
When Hargrave went to his sa-
loon next morning he found Greer
lying dead where they had left him
The coroner was telegraphed for
but getting no reply Squire
Kinder Of Sturdivant was sent for
and an inquest held. After viewing
the body and hearing the testimony
the jury returned verdict of death
from heart failure, brought on by
alcoholic excess. The body was then
taken to the room over Burrows
restaurant. Late in the evening,
Coroner DR.. J. K. Smith arrived,
another jury was impaneled, and
another inquest held, and the find
ing of the jury was that Greer came
to his death by blows inflicted at
the hands Of Thos. Hargrave.
Sheriff King, Prosecuting Attor-
ney Revelle and others came over
Sunday afternoon and remained
Monday.
There has been considerable ex-
citement here ever since this shock
ingly sad trouble occurred.
