THROWN FROM A BRONCO.

Forest Heirges, young man who
lives a few miles out in the country, met
with a painful accident Monday morn
ing. He had started to town riding a
yong Texas bronco, for which he had
traded a short time before, and while on
the road it became frightened at some
object by the road side and began buck
ing-as only Texas bronco can buck
and the rider was thrown to the ground
In falling his foot hung in the stirrnp
and the animal started in run, dragging
him over the rough road. After he had
gone thus for about three hsndred yards
Hirgea succeeded. in grasping the stir
rup with his hands and extricating his
foot, but not before he was very much
bruised UP. He had sprained wrist a
severe wound on his face, another on
the back OF his head, bruises on other
parts OF his body and his clothing gave
unimpeachable testimony as to what
had taken place.
Later on Mr.. Heirges came to town
and had his wounds attended to by DR.
Dixon, who pronounced them not OF a
serious nature. Whom Heirges got tc
town the bronco, which had arrived con
siderably in advance, had taken his ac'
customed place at the hitching rack, tC

time for his rider to make the return

The political campaign opened up here
in good style Monday when Hon. J. W
Graham, Popullst elector for the First
congressional district, addressed the
people at the court house on the political
issues Of the day. This was the long eI-
pected advent OF tho first political spell.
binder and a good sized crowd gathered
at the court house TO hear the isenes Of
the campaign discussed from Populist
standpoint, Democrats, Republicans and
Populists being present in about equal
numbers. Mr.. Graham is an interesting
speaker and was listened TO attentively
but without any demonstrations Of ap-
plause. He spoke for an hour, giving
the rise and the objects OF the Populist
party No party, he said, ever came in
TO existence without there was good
reason for it's coming. The Populist
party came into power, he said, because
the eternal principles Of Jefferson and
Jackson were no longer held by the
Democrats who had gone over with the
Republicans to the Capitalization prin-
cipIes Of Hamilton. Without these
principles Of jefferson no republic can
long exist. The Populist Is the only
party advocating these principles. Roose-
welt and Parker are political twin broth
ers and both under the domination OF
Wall street and the trusts. The money
power cares not continental which one
is elected. With them It ia only matter
Of who gill get the spoils Of ofice-it is
