ROAD WILL PUT
IN CROSSING ALARMS

At special meeting Of the coun-
ell yesterday afternoon, G. w. COtter, !
general superlnt sndent of the Denver (
and A. J. Gausewitz superintendent, |
appeared before the board Of alder
men and stated the decision OF the
company to put in as soon as possible
the crossing warnings which had
been asked for by the city.
81 am sorry we have been so slow"
said Mr.. Gausewitz, in speaking, to
the council, and / only plead that we
railroad people, 80 pretty busy now
with a great many things. We first
thought of getting crossing gongs
but we could not make satisfactory
arrangements for them and after con-
sideration we decided that as there
was so much switching at these cross
ings the bell warning would not be
satisfactory If they did work and
with the constant use Of the track
that they would probably be out OF
condition when they we're most need
cd We have now arranged to put
in warnings which believe will be
satisfactory to all concerned.
The proposition of the roads Is 10
nut in two flag men, one at the POLK
street crossing and another at Taylor
street. These flagmen will watch
both the Rock Island and Denver
tracks In addition to this the road
will mt in high power arc lights at
four crossings
After the disposal Of the crossing
business, fire limit propositions came
nm for discussion. Fire Chief Miller
called attention to the menace TO the
safety of the remainder of the city
from the congestion OF frame shaNHs
in the bowery district. Under pres
ont conditions the bowery is becom-
ing the dumping ground for frame
buildings from other parts of the
town and the mayor advised tha'
some steps he taken to regulate thi'
practice. No definite action was
taken in the matter Of fire limits bu
hut the sentiment of the council was
that when the roads here made The
nroposed depot improvements tina
the new depot districts be placed II

MANS THROAT CUT
IN DIFFICULTY

, From Mednesday,s Daily. J

{ From Wednesdays Daily. }
In an alteration in the Mitchell
saloon on the corner of the Bowery
and Buchanan street this morning,
one Ferguson slashed Jim Gober
across the cheek and throat with a
nocket knife. The knife entered
about the corner of the mouth, cut
across the cheek and down toward
the throat. 1t made an ugly cash
which bled profusely, but 1t is not
necessarily serious and has been sue
cessfully dressed.
Gober had been drinking, 1t seems,
and approached Ferguson and anoth-
er man who were talking in the sa'
loon. With little warning he shout
dered them aside and pushed one OF
them down. One of the men drew a
knife and the two mixed with the re-
suit that Gober got the cut from the
knife.
Gober is a character OF more or
less note in Amarillo He has been
here much of the time since the town
started and has always been in the
saloon or similar business. He has
been involved in fatal difficulties be-
fore this.

FULTZ GETS
Two YEARS
Jury Finds Defendant Sane and
Guilty Of Forgery Under
the Indictment
CFrom, Wednesdays Dally)

(From, Wednesdays Dally)
John Fultz is sane to the extent
of telling right from wrong and is
guilty Of felony in the forgery with
which he attempted to swindle the
National Bank OF Commerce in Feb
ruary, 1906. such is the judgment
of the jury which brought in a YER

defendant guilty under the indict-
ment and fixing his penalty at two
years' Imprisonment in the state pen

Maintained Apathy throughout Trial
Throughout the entire trial Fultz
maintained the same apathetic indlf-
ference to his surrounding This
apathy, the attorney for the defense
attributed to the mental weakness
which made him not responsible for
the acts charged in the indictment.
To strengthen this position the de-

the man had lived before coming

His mother, Mrs. King testified
that when a boy Fultz had been the
victim OF a severe attack Of spinal

that disease The mothers testimo-

actions on the part OF Fultz. on one
occasion he had driven sixteen miles

and y few days afterward sold the
same horse with a valuable saddle for
less than half what he paid for the

Mrs. King testified that at various
