MORG SOLDIERS SENT TO GUARD
 THE OIL FIELDS
No Trouble Anticipated and and All Men Who Return
 Will be Taken Back.

Houston, Tex, Nov 5.-Three ad- ditional companies of soldiers from Fort Logan were detailed for guard duty in the oil fields Monday to strengthen the guards in two of the fields. Two of the three companies were sent to Sour Lake and one to Goose creek. The occasion for the additional troops, it IS understood, did not arise from any report of trouble, or any anticipation of dis turbarces In either field. On account of ths drought in certains sections of the state there are many men from the farms who are glad of the oppor- tunitx to secure work in the oil fields, at the wages paid by the companies for laborers, Vice President Nazro of the Gulf Refining company said to- night. The sentiment expressed by the vice president of the Gulf com ipany seemed general among. the oper- ators. Wherever the men return to work, however, they will be taken back by the companies.

A YOUNG FARMER KILLED INSTANTLY
 ON PUBLIC ROAD

Sunday night about 2 o'clock, D. Minor, . young farmer living at Gethsamane, was shot and instantly killed, the same bullet taking the life of the young mans horse.
 Minor and party of young men had been spending the afternoon in a pleasure trip to one of the soft drink places in the neighborhood. On the approach of night they started home. Along the road they met several ne- groes. It is said that some words were passed concerning the way the blacks took up the larger portion of the highway, but the white men seem- ed to think nothing of the converse tion, and shortly proceeded on their way. Apparently they were walking, leading their horses, tho no word to this effect has been received. Any rate they had taken only few steps when someone in the party of negroes fired pistol. The bullet struck young Minor in the back, passed through him and entered the body of his horse. The young man died instantly, and | the hore few minutes later.
 i On the testimony of negro woman, Sheriff Williams arrested negro named Anthony Wright, and has lodg- ed him in jail to await preliminary trial set for Thursday. i' s.3@ 9
 The sheriff says that none of the men in Minors party has said wheth. Ter or not Wright fired the shdt.s : He i is, however,qvery busy in the Gethse- mane neighborhood procuring all the testimony possible, but until Thurs day it is hardly possible to know if Wright is seriously implicated. He says, now that he was not of the party of negroes at all, but was attend ing church when the shooting was done.
