Mr. Futrell's Misfortune.
T. I. Wilkerson of the Balch
Springs community, was in town
Wednesday and reported a seri-
ous misfortune that happened to
one of his neighbors, S. VV.
Futrell. He said that one of- Mr.
Futrell's mules got his tail
caught in the crack of a fence
and mashed most of the tail off.
About that time, he said some
one on Mr. Futrell's place killed
a big snake and that Mr. Futrell
conceived the idea of grafting
the snake's tail to the mule. He
made a successful job of the
grafting, according to Mr. Wil-
kerson, but the mule has been
crawling on the ground ever
since and had bitten nearly all
the stock on the place and that
some of them were expected to
die.
Strange Actions of a Strange
Young Man,
Thursday night of last week,
a young man who gave his name
as Snow «nd said he lived at Gil-
mer, got on the wrong train in
Dallas and was put off at Mes-
quite. He was evidently drunk
and gave evidences besides of
having been "doped." Early in
the night he was found by D. J.
Brown hanging around the lat-
ter's gate. Mr. Brown brought
him to town to give him some-
thing to eat and to have some
provision made for keeping him
at night. In the restaurant the
fellow hoard Mr. Brown ask
what was to be done with him,
and fearing arrest probably, the
fellow rushed out into the dark-
ness, saying as he ran, "You
won't do a thing with me."
Later in the night Mrs. J. E. B.
Gott suddenly awoke to find a
strange man n the house. She
called Mr. Gott and the latter
took him and brought him down
town expecting to turn him over
to the marshal. However, the
marshal, J. T. Davis, was out of
town and Mr. Gott took Snow
back with him and kept him all
night. The next morning he
went on his way. There seemed
to be no harm in the young man,
but he seemed to be coirr^otely
bereft of his senses.
