Much oxoitcnient was caused Satur-
night about 11:30 in the neighbor-
hood of tho Paoifio hotel on aooount of
pistol shots on tho second floor of that
nilding and a general rush was mado
for tho scouo. It was soon found that
a difficulty had occurred botween 0.
'V. Buck proprietor of the hotel and
Uharles L. Fowzer passonger conduc-
tor on tho Missouri Kansas and Texas
railway on the division running bo-
tween Taylor and Boggy tank in
which tho former was slightly wound-
ed in tho thigh and the latter danger-
ously if not fatally in four places
ono ball broko tho kit arm another
entered tho left breast and glancing
passed out and through tho same arm
another entered tho left side abovo
groin and the other tho back and
ranging downward romains in tho body.
Tho latter it is thought if any will
bo tho fatal wound.
A full report in detail is impossible
because of tho volumnous character of
tho evidence but as near as could bo
obtained tho difficulty was about as
follows: From tho standpoint of tho
fiiends of Mr. Buok Mr. Fowzor and
a friend camo to tho Pacific about 2
o'olook Saturday aftornoon and went
into a room in the hotel aid there
was loud and hoistorous language
used creating very considerable oom-
ment among lady guosts and the fact
was reported to Mr. Buok the pro-
prictor who wont to Fowzer whom he
mot on tho stairway and who ho had
been informed was tho guilty party
and requested him to not go up
stairs any more tut ho did
not allow drunkenness in his house.
After soino words Fowzer wont away
and did not return until lato in the
ovening. Mrs. Buck who was en-
gaged with her husband entertaining
several guests in their room had oc-
casion to cross the hall and discovered
Fowzer vomiting in tho privato par
lor. She returned and related tho
fact to Mr. Buok who went immedi-
ately to Mr. Fowzer and protested
against such conduct. Fowzer bo-
oamo angry and rcfusod to leavo tho
parlor wheroupoii Buck took hold of
him and tried to lead him out and
vk 7x j :warr - a a7
n
Fowzer palled his pistol. Buok then
struok him with his first and after
falling to tho iloor Fowzer shot at
Buck the bullet piercing tho thigh
and inflicting a slight wound. Buck
ran down stairs and in a fow moments
tho two mon opened firo through tho
sky-light. Buok hearing tho soroams
of women up stairs ran up and whon
he reached tho second floor tho battle
commenced in earnost tho tvo men
standing only about 20 foot apart.
No ono sooms to know just how many
shots wcro fired.
From tho other sido the following
version That Mr. Fowzor wont to
the hotel as a guest and feeling a
little sicrf vomited in somo paint pots
sitting in tho hall. IIo was accosted
by Mr. Buok and upon rofusing to go
down stairs was struck in tho face and
pulled his pistol to defond himsolf.
It is denied that any shots wero fired
while Mr. Buck was down stairs. It
is also alleged that Mr. Fowzer's
pistol only had two empty sholls in it
whon ho was relicvod of it and one
chamber without any shell. Mr.
Buck's pistol was emptied of its fivo
chambers and when the last shot was
fired ho ran down the stops Just bo-
foro he did this Mr. A. J. Smith
passed through tho hall behind Buok
and reoeived a shot in tho leg. It is
only a flesh wound.
When tho firing ceased Officer Phil
Rogan who bad been attracted to the
seono arrested Fowzer and disarmed
him.
Shortly aftor tho shooting Mr. Buck
vas arrested and immediately gavo
bond in the sum of 85000 with the
following solid oitizens as surioties:
John T. Flint H. 0. Wilson. P. It.
Uengst C. W. Ilobson Sam Owens
J. V. Smith and J. R. Downs.
Charlie Fowzor is a Knight of
Pythias and also a member of the
ordor of Railway Conductors who
hivo charge of him at the Now Mo-
Clelland Hotel and rendering all the
aid possible looking to his recovery
and it is said considering his vigorous
constitution ho may pull through
Tho doctors stato that tho chances
between life and death are about equal.
Mrs. Fowzer oamo in on tho noon train
yesterday and is at tho bedside of her
husband. Ho is resting well this afternoon.
Death.
At tho family residenco near Bob-
inson at 1 o'clock on the morning of

The Dallas News sent out oirculars
several weeks ago to its correspondents
instructing them to see tho members
of tho legislature in their towns and
ask the following questions :
"1. Who is your choice for United
States senator in tho ovent an extra
session of the legislature shall clcot
that officer?
"2. In the ovont the governor
does not inoludo the election of
a United States senator to succeed
Judgo Reagan in his call for an ex-
tra session do you favor such oleotion
on the part of the legislature inde-
pendent of tho governor's call?
Replies were received from 107
out of 137 members of tho senate and
house and the voto as received was
published in yesterday's News. Fol-
lowing is the
SUMMARY.
Mills 42
Culberson 17
Chilton I9
Non-committal. 2n
Noreply 30
Total 137
Among tho non-committals and
those not replying are found at loast
six additional vot03 for Mills and
three for Chilton.
The first ballot would stand in viow
of this as follows:
Mills 48
Culberson 17
Chilton 22
Non-committal etc 50
Total 137
On a second ballot if second oboioe
is expressed Mills and Cbilton each
would get two moro votes.
As to the additional votes among
those who wero non-committal Tin:
News gets its information from other
papers in whioh expressions have boon
made by the parties indicating their
choice.
In tho summary Mills has nine moro
votes than both his opponents and
with tho evident inclination of the
people to instruotjfor him his chanoes
are at loast equal to the oombinod
strength of both Culberson and Chil
ton. If ho cots half of tho 50 votes
not committod ho would havo 73 votes
or 5 more than is ncccsBary to a choico.
The people will keep on instructing

instructions for tho Lion of the Toxas
Democracy.

THE STREET RAILWAYS.
Tho Joint Occupancy of Austin Av-
enue Still a Bono of Contention.
The Waco Fllectrio Railway and
Light Company had about oonoluded
arrangements to start their oars down
Austin Avenue yestorday but on Sat-
urday afternoon tho Citizens Railway
Company applied for an injunction
restraining tho Hobson people from
running down Austin until they paid
their prorata of the cost of the con-
struction of tho traok. Tho applica-
tion was granted temporarily and
upon hearing the caso further this
morning Judge Goodrioh decided to
appoint Hon. John G. Winter spe-
ciul master to ascertain the
cost of said construction and require
a bond from the dclcndant company
of $12000to secure the paymentof tho
amount decided upon by tho special
master when his report was agreed to.
An order embracing tho abovo in
effeot was entered and tho Ilobson
peoplo wero permitted to go ahoad af-
ter the bond was flignod They wero
running cars on Austin Avenuo at
noon.
The Rule Enforced.
Tho examining trial of Hattio Tyroo
is still in progress and The News in-
tended to give a full and oonoise ro-
port of the proceedings during its
progress but attoruoyB for tho do-
fondant made the point this morning
that tho "rulo" was being enforoed
tho object of which is to exclude
former testimony from tho succeeding
witnesses and that any publication of
the evidence of the witnesses would
defeat tho object of the "rulo." Thoy
thcroforo asked that the press be re-
quested not- to publish tho proceedings
of the trial till its conclusion. Justico
Harrison considered the point well
taken and mado tho request. The
News boing always in favor of fair
play desists but promises to publish
a full statomont whon tho examining
trial is concluded.
Stockholders Meeting.
The annual meeting of the stock-
holders of the Waco Gas company
will bo held at their offioo in Waoo
