HAS SPLENDID TRIP.
Davidson Delighted With Diaz
and Asfu1ires THOMPSON.

Austin. Aug SIN speaking of his
visit to Mexico Attorney General Da-
wilson said that he had most excel
lent time and was quite cordially re-
.ceived both personally and officially.
The feature of his trip was a visit
to President DiaZ at the national pal
ace Attorney General Davidson stated
that considerable red tape has to be
gone through in order to see the presi-
dent Of the Mexican republic. In order
to see the Mexican president it be-
came necessary for him to see the
United States ambassador to Mexico,
Mr. Thompson, and through him the
visit was arranged. On the day ap-
pointed for the visit to the national
palace, the ambassador called at Cen
eral Davidsons hotel and got him and
his family, who accompanied him to
Mexico. and In carriages drove to the
national palace and were ushered
through double line of soldiers guard
ing the palace. They were taken into
the presidents reception room and in
a few minutes the president appeared
alone and through an interpreter had
the visitors presented to him and they
were given a royal welcome. The visit
occupied nearly half an hour. Gen
eral Davidson declares he found Presi-
dent Diaz a most affable man, just
about the average height, with an i'm
pressive Castilian face and thorough
military bearing.
The ambassador also proved most
courteous gentleman and gave his per
sonal attention to the head of the legal
department of the state of Texas. He
also has an interpreter
General Davidson spoke In high
praise of the fine weather which pre-
walls in Mexico. He said that the
climate was just as it is usually here
in the month of November 1t was
necessary most of the time to wear a
light overcoat. General Davidson also
visited POGO park and fouNd it delight
full there. Among the articles brought
back with him was beautiful MeXi-
can blanket, which General Davidson
presented to Governor Campbell. The
general found the Mexican people a
most courteous people. In fact, he de
clared that etiquette and politeness
was study with the Mexican people.

DUEL WITH SHOTGUNS.
Two Ellis County Citizens Have
Battle on Road.

Waxahachie, Tex, Aug. 31.-Near
Ray, this county, Tom Davis and W.
H. Jeans had a shotgun duel Davis
received two charges of small shot in
the face and breast and one buckshot
struck Jeans in the back. Both men
will recover, say attending physicians.
1t is said that Davis fired four times
and Jeans twice. The buckshot that
hit Jeans entered his back just below
a shoulder blade and lodged in the
left breast.
The shooting is said to have been
the result of previous trouble between
the men. Davis had come here and
made complaint against Jeans, alleg-
ing the offense of abusive language
and disturbing the peace. Jeans came
to Waxahachie and made bond in the
sum of 500. He was on his way
home when the shooting occurred.

GIBSON SWUNG TO LIMB.
Body of Negro After That Is
Shot to Pieces.

Pickensville, Ala, Aug. 31.-John
Gibson, negro, was lynched on the
place of Ed Winbourne, near here, for
criminally assaulting the latter's wife
A mob of 100 of that community took
Gibsn to the woods and strung him
up from limb after Mrs Winbourne
had identified him as her assailant.
Gibson made no statement beyond
bare denial of his guilt While his
body was dangling in the air the men,
bers of the mob emptied their pistols
into it. fully 500 shots being discharg-
ed into the corpse, and literally tearing
it to pieces
ellison was captured on the Ala
bama line, ten miles southeast of Co
lumbls, Miss, by posse of citizens
from Carrollton, who had been search
ing for him all night The clue to who
perpetrated the horrible deed was Civ
en- by negro friendly to the Win
bourne family, who had seen Gibson
hanging around the Winbourne home
stead in the morning When the
crime became known this negro told
the white people what he had seen,
and gave such description of Gibson
as resulted in his immediate recogni.
ton and capture when seen.
AS soon as he was taken the posse
returned post haste to the Winbourne
residence, where Gibson was carried
before his victim and fully identified
as her assailant. His death followed
quickly afterward
Gibson came upon Mrs Winbourne
while she was busy about her yard
She was not aware of his presence, and
he ran upon her from behind, seized
her and choked her into insensibility.
When he had accomplished his foul
purpose she regained consciousness,
and he told her he would kill her il
she told on him
Gibson was twenty-eight years ID
age, and lived at this place, where he
was we'll known

President Lincoln commissioned him
captain and assistant quartermaster
of the United States army and as
signed him to duty in charge of the
United States Geographic system in
the southwest. with headquarters at
Little Rock, Ark. Afterward he
served at st. Louis.
At one time he found himself in
command of the lines at certain
point in Missouri, but unable to COM
municate with the Union forces across
the Mississippi owing to the fact that
the enemy had cut the wires. The
message he desired to transmit was Of
the utmost Importance, says the Sat
urday Evening Post in relating the
story, and could on no account suffer
delay. 1t was pitchy dark and the
rain was descending in torrents, the
wind was high and Colonel Clowry
could conjure no way out Of his diff
Guilty. Suddenly he heard the toot Of
a locomotive on the other side of the
river. An idea came to him. Only a
short distance from him stood loco
motive, and. climbing into the cab, he
seized the whistle cord and began to
jerk it In manner that made the en-
gineer and fireman think he had gone
crazy. There was a series Of wild
toots such as nobody had ever heard
before in the history Of railroading,
but pretty soon they brought from the
other side of the river answering
whistles. The operator at headquar-
tiers had heard his call and realized
that locomotive whistles instead of
telegraph keys must be used In the
transmission of an important message.
