Trouble at Prosperity.

In response to a message from
Prosperity to the sheriffs Office at
about eight o'clock Saturday night
Deputies Dorroh and Melton we're
sent to that town to settle row be-
tween Chief of Police V. B. Workman
and Messrs. Jack, Ben and Leo Math-
is. The officers arrested the Mathis
brothers and released them under a
$500 city bond for their appearance
for trial. 1t is thought there is an
old grudge at the bottom of the diff1-
cutlv, which intensified the trouble
of SATURDAY. evening. We have failed
in getting communication with our
Prosperity correspondent, but under
stand that Chief Workman was pretty
badly beaten by the three men, anu
that some shots we're exchanged be-
tween them. which. however, did not
take effect. There was to have been
preliminary hearing before Judge
Hair at Prosperity Monday morning,
but ii was postponed. Judge Hair has
also put the men under a county
bond. Our Prosperity correspondent
will report the case for the next is
sue of the paper.

that he had no pressing engagement

he drove beautifully going and return
