Murder Mystery Takes Place at
City of Houston.
SPECIAL OFFICER KILLED
j. j. Pipes Shot to Death, others
Wounded and Tremendous the
Excitement That Prevailed Quite
a While.

During an ARRAY. Ia the Southern
Pacific railway yards at Houston
special officer uamed J. J. Pipes was
shot and instantly killed, S. B. Crock
EFT seriously wounded in left breast,
Gordon Knight cnt in the face with a
knife aud Captain II. S. Sisk struck
in the back with brick or rock and
on an arm with a stick or club. For
time there was intense excitement,
aggravated by the fact that nothing
could be learned leading to the iden-
tity of the offending parties.
Pipes and Crockett were special Of
ficers from Athens, Tex, guarding a
party of strikebreakers and Knight a
strkebreaker from the same place.
When the shooting occurred the
strikebreakers, who had just arrived
on train, were being escorted into
the shop enclosure and about them a
crowd of strikers surged, who, it is
said, were endeavoring to dissuade
the new arrivals from going to work.
Company guards were stationed in
the enclosure as we'll as with strike
breakers. Pipes was evidently slain
just as he had entered the sheppard
gate The wounded men were on the
outside.
Captain Sisk, who resides at Hous-
ton says the shots came from ranks
of the strikers, and he thinks he fired
one shot in return. Crockett asserts
positively that the shots came from
within the enclosure from persons who
evidently mistook all in the crowd Oh
the outside for strikers in a raid on
the shops. B. H. Russell and other
company employees corroborate him,
while others are equally as insistent
that the shots came from the ranks OF
the strikers.
Justice Crooker acting coroner, who
held the inquest over the body of OF
ficer Pipes, returned a verdict that the
death of Pipes was brought about by
shots fired from within the enclosure,

Choice Must Be Made Between Hall
and Michel.

The election OF Michel, who is the
mere tool of The ward bosses, will
perpetuate the autocratic govern
ment devised and imposed upon the
people of this State by Sanders. IF
you desire to overthrow this odious
system and all its nefarious ramifi-
cations-sueh as the game wardens
and all other commissions under
whose grinding tax exactions the
people now groan-yOu must vote
for Judge Luther E. Hall. who alone
stands pledged to destroy this polit-
zeal vampire, before'its tentacles be-
come so securely fastened upon the
people OF this State that it will be
impossible to release them. The
race is practically between Hall and
Michel. Aswell will not be factor
to be reckoned with in the second
race. Therefore the choice must
finally be made between these two
candidates, one the exponent of all
that is to be commended in repre-
sentative government, the other
seeking to re-rivet the thralldom of
an atrocious and diabolical autoc-
raey upon the people of this State,
with all the despicable and abomin-
able accompaniments Of a reprehen-
siblp administration.
