TIRE M'CUE CASE IS CONTINUED
No Trial Of the Man Charged with
the Murder Of Earl Mabry.


Dallas, Texas, July 28.-For the
third time the trial of the case of
the state of Texas VS.. Frank McCue,
charged by indictment with the muir
der of Earl Mabry, whose body was
found at the western terminus of the
Texas and Pacific railway trestle
across the Trinity river the morning
of September 80 last, has been post
poned.
The case was on the calendar of
the Dallas district criminal court to
be called yesterday morning at 8
O. cock, and it was called, but on a
motion for continuance by the de-
fense, setting forth the absence of a
very material witness, the continu-
ance was granted, the new date for
the trial being given as September Z
next. ru
j. A. Smithart, a news butcher on
the Texas and New Orleans railroad,
who was running between Jackson
vile and Dallas last September, is
the witness wanted, and a fine of
$3.50 was assessed against him for
his nonappearance, an attachment
issued and his bond raised from
$3.50 to $500

daughter, who Immediately became
unconscious and remained in that
condition for several hours after
ward. Every man and boy in that
section of the country armed them
selves and started in pursuit of the
negro. The officers at this place were
notified and located the negro last
night at another negro's home about
three miles from the Delaney home.
Mobs of excited and anxious peo-
pie had congregated at many points
in the country, at Caddo Mills and on
the streets of Greenville and at this
hour, are still on the streets. IT the
negro is brought here, there will GER
tainly be a lynching. The same
thing will occur if the mob
in the country secures possession of
the negro. Some Of the officers, it is
thought, escaped from the mob
while Sheriff Hemsell and other Off
GERS tried to get the people to dis
band and go home. The excited peo-
pie here were not satisfied when
Deputy Sheriff Will Scott told them
that the negro had not been brought
to jail and were not satisfied until
some of the mob were allowed to
search the jail and city calaboose

residence of w. r. Kirkpatrick,

negro trying to get In at window
She called her husband, who, how
ever was not about the house. and
the negro was frightened away. The
officers at Ennis were notified and
Constable Wilson and City Marshal

TWO CLOSE CONTESTS DECIDED
Sweat Leads tor Collector and Nc
Calpin Wins for Constable.

Monday was day of suspense for
the leading contestants for the offices
of tax collector and constable of pre-
cinct !. The early returns Saturday
night indicated that either George
Smith or George Sweat would be the
nominee for tax collector. Mr.. Sweat
was in the lead for awhile, but when
the four boxes at Ennis were heard
from he dropped to second place and
George Smith took the lead. Mr..
Smith remained in this position until
late Monday afternoon when the
complete returns came In from, Mil
ford, Italy, Palmer, Ferris and Mid
i lothian. These enabled Mr.. Sweat tt
Tovercome Mr.. Smiths lead and take
| first position again by narrow mar
gin. 1t then appeared that the result
hinged on the vote in the North Wax
ahachie box and the progress of the
count was watched with intense in
terest When the counters quit work
for the night Mr.. Sweat was still in
the lead with sixty-three ballots to
be counted. This task was finished
Tuesday morning and the count
showed that 100 votes were cast for
Mr. Sweat and 131 for Mr. Smith.
Adding these totals to the complete
returns from thirty-eight boxes and
taking the difference showed Mr..
Sweat to have a lead of 108 votes.
There are nine small boxes yet to be
heard from but it is not at all likely
that they will make any change in
the result. The boxes not heard from
are Bristol, Leland, Rankin, Avalon,
India, Pecan Grove, Oak, Byron and
Telico.
The result for the nomination for
constable of precinct No l depend
ed upon North Waxahachie. w. B.
Burgess was in the lead until the
counting of this box was finished,
which gave ]. ]. McCalpin a majority
of IS votes.
