A crowd, attracted by the shot, when
it was learned of the tragedy, took up
the chase. Surrounding the home OF
Tillman, the pursuers called on him to
surrender. Eventually the mayor went
forward and knocked on the door, ask

TREMENDOUS OVATION.
Miss Fuckers Company Ridden
 Housing Farewell.

After a successful run of eight weeks at the Empire opera house the Ethel Tucker Stock company closed its first San Antonio engagement last night and left this morning for Waco Miss Fuckers company will return in Oc- tober and to judge from the ovation they received at their farewell yester- day. they will be warmly welcomed on their reappearance.
 At yesterdays performances the ap- plause was hearty and continued and as each of the well known faces ap- peared on the stage the sound of friendly applause was very pleasing. So hearty and continued was it last night at the conclusion of the third act Miss Tucker was compelled to respond to a curtain call and when she ap- peared, after a prolonged applause, the house fairly shook from the ovation she received Miss Tucker made one of the prettiest curtain talks ever made in San Antonio and demonstrated that she is a woman who can speak lines other than those of an author and speak them well, too, for her words of praise for San Antonio. its historical and romantic features, etc, were spon- taneous outbursts from the very heart of the gentle little woman who has given San Antonians the best pop uIar priced show they ever had.
 This is not putting things too strong. Now that the company has gone, good words can be said by the newspapers without the public declaring it an lad" and this excellent organization deserves every word of praise that can be given it. Without a shadow of doubt it ranks far above any popular priced company that ever played in San An tonic and for emotional plays it can out do hundreds of companies that have played here for a dollar. Comedies and dramas are handled with equal satisfaction, for Miss Tucker has an aggregation of competent men and women gathered around her that are as capable as the best and she knows how to bring out all their best quail ties and show the public all that is good in their character.
 Another noticeable feature of this company is it's fine wardrobes-de- cidedly the finest ever seen in this city with a stock company Miss Tucker sets the pace and the others all fol- low.
 There is not a member of the com pany but what is a No. performer and Miss Tucker and MT. Whit Brandon are people that rank far above the average in their profession. The com pany carries a fine lot of special scen- cry, has good speciality people and will meet with success wherever it goes San Antonio Daily Light.

side of the neck and seizing the man threw him to the ground, calling to those on the outside that the madman was armed. They hurried in and with their assistance the officer disarmed his dangerous anta gonist.
 The crazy man as soon as he feli tried to cut his own throat and he sue ceeded in making a deep incision about two inches long in front of his wind pipe. The crazy man was shackled and an examination was made of the officers injuries. It was found that the cut on the right side of the neck was about five inches long and as deep as the blade of the razor. The blood was streaming from it and soon tne officers clothing was saturated The gaping wound was stuffed with cotton saturated with turpentine. The wound of the crazy man was dressed as well as it could be there and the officer without realizing the extent of his own injuries started to Phoenix with him in less than an hour after his arrival at the station.
 He took the train at Mesa and reached the city about ten o'clock The officer and his prisoner presented a horrible spectacle. The blood had partially dried upon them and the dust
  dried.
 As soon as possible after the officer reached the city he visited Dr. Plath who explained to him the serious char acter of the wound. The danger lay in the possible sloughing off process in which the juguIar might be at tackled. He said that the deputy would have to be quiet for several days.
 When he left the office to visit the doctor it was not thought that the wound would likely give him any trouble. Some time after he had gone Deputy Sheriff King telephoned to the doctor asking him if MT. Cunning hams wound amounted to anything" ''No.'' replied the physician, Ines still got his head on." The officers right thumb was almost severed.
 The insane man whose name is Clar- ence Palmer, tells partly coherent story of the affair. He said he had been working at the ranch of Price Brown, where there was a young wo- man of whom he had become enam- ored. She did not return his affection and he ceased speaking to her. He finally left the ranch, believing that Mir. Brown had set some Mexicans upon him to kill him. He said that about two days after his arrival at the Weeks place he learned that MT Brown had sent word to Weeks and others about the station to kill him. He said that when the officer entered the tent he thought he was one of the men who had been employed to slaughter him. If he had known who he was he would not have tried to cut his throat. Palmer is about twen- ty-nine years old.
 Palmer was given an examination in probate court shortly after he was brought in and was committed to the asylum.
 MT. Weeks said when Palmer came to the station it was not noticed that he was off his mental balance, though soon after that his curious conduct was observed. But he did not become violent until Friday, when he got an aX and threatened to kill the Weeks family. He was disarmed and search ed but the knife and the razor were curiously overlooked.

horse and buggy there and drove to the station, arriving there about one o'clock in the morning.
 Weeks and others were waiting for him and told him that the insane man was in a tent which they pointed out to the officer. They also told him that the man was urlarmed. Taking a lan- tern the deputy sheriff entered the tent. The occupant rushed at him. The officer saw in his right hand a knife, the blade at each end open MT. Cunningham grabbed the hand holding the knife, when the insane man with razor in the other hand began hunting for the officers jugular. MT. Cunningham felt a cut on the right

Deputy Sheriff Cunningham was as near death yesterday morning as one cares to be and he is not yet known to be out of danger. He had his throat cut by maniac. On Friday afternoon Q telephone message was received at the office of the sheriff saying that there was dangerous madman at the Weeks station about a mile this side of Goldfeld.

NICHOLsON's NEW PLANS.
viii Spend $4,000. 900 of Santa H
Money to Exploit Southwest.

A special dispatch to the ST. Louis
Democrat from Chicago says:
I'm selecting George T. Nicholson for
third vice president of the system, to
succeed Paul Morton, Santa Fe directors
are preparing for a new campaign in
favor of settlement of the southwest
by middle west and eastern farmers.
The Santa Fe, like many other of the
trunk lines, is looking for the new set
tier who wishes to make a permanent
home. The 1902 reclamation act of the
government, in regard to unirrigated
districts, has induced the farmers of the
middle and eastern country to develop
that section. The new general traffic
manager of the Santa Fe is to particu-
larly care for it.
Mr.. Nicholson grew up in Kansas, al
though born in the south. He said re-
Gently: I knew for years what Kansas
physically and financially passed through
before she came to her present high
standing. knew Kansas in the days
of the mortgages, and knew her when
her farm debts were paid, and I have
always believed in Kansas"
It is expected to cost the Santa Fe
system something like $4,000 600 during
the next five years to exploit the south
west, but the Nicholson idea is to get
the facts and give them the widest
publicity possible in the belief that they
pay for themselves in due time.
