Wednesday morning a youug
man drove into town having a
good horse and buggy,* which he
soon attempted to ,’sell. He of-
fered the outfit to. Jim‘ Carter for
$85.00, and as it was cheap at
that figure, Carter offered to buy
if he could prdve his ownership.
This he didy'npt specially try to
c|o, but drove off to seek another
purchaser. ‘ Mr. Carter notified
the officers, and deputy Wm. Mc-
Kee asked the young man to oc-
cupy the sheriff's office for a time,
where he told so many, different
stories about thiugs tb,at the offi-,
cers concluded to hold him for \
developments. They did not
have to wait very loDg. as Wm.
Hamilton, who^ives near Merrit,
came in search of the ^horse and
buggy which had been stolen.
The man who had them said his
name was Couch,but it was learn-
ed to be John Peak. Mr. Peak
is in jail, having waived exami ;

On Wednesday Aug. 1, 1900 In
I response to a call issued by
County Chairman Dr. C. A. Gray,
the Republican Executive Com-
mittee of Fannin County'met in
open session. Every member
was present and a more enthn- O
siastic or harmonious session
was never held. The committee
deemed it unwise at this time to
place a county ticket in the field,
but believed it very necessary to
keep up tbe party organisation
in Fannin county as a nucleus,
and through the national prin-
ciples of the Republican party
additions will eventually be made
until Republicanism will become a
formidable factor in Texas poli-
tics.
The chairman was instructed
| to call a County Convention im-
| mediately after State Chairman
Green issues his call for a State
Convention. This convention
will consist of delegates elected
by eacn precinct who will cast
the vote of the precinct accord-
ing to their instructions and will
elect a county chairman to serve
for the next two years, and elect
delegates to the State Conven-
tion. The meeting adjourned.
at 11:30 a.m. to-day. It is as-
sumed that the Americans, Brit-
ish and Japanese are taking part
in this forward movement,
whether other nationalities are
or not.
