Parson Masters about some refer-

they supposed reflected on their
good name, whereupon they shed
their coats and made for the pul-

shocking than elegant that they
would hurl the offending minister
out of the window. A number of
gentlemen present interfered and
prevented the angry cowboyB from
doing any bodily harm to the
much frightened preacher. A free

sulted in a number of "black

noses.

County Attorney P. W. Gard-
ner gave a royal entertainment in
the shape of an elegant dinner at
his reaidence in East Gainesville
yesterday, in honor of the 80th
birthday of his father, Col. J. A.
Gardner. The bountiful feast was
prepared under the supervision of
Mrs. P. W. Gardner, who has few
equals when it comes to culinary
sciences.
The dinner was one that would
have pleased a royal household,
and tickled the palate of a crowned
lead to that degree of appreciation
.hat he would have called for a rep-
etition thereof when the sun again
arrived at meridian height. Those
present were Col. J. A, Gardner
and wife, A H Gardner and family,
Mrs. Allen, mother of Mrs. A. H.
Gardner, Miss Dasie Gunn, of
Sedalia, Mo.; Mips Lela Boyd, of
Fort Worth, (these two young la-
dies being the visiting guests of
Mrs. A. H. Gardner), C. R. Rol-
lins and wife, and Ernest Gard-
ner. It was a kind of a family re-
union, and a more happy and
pleasing number than those pres-
ent could not be found. It is to
be hoped that the conspicuous
guest on this occasion, Col, Gard-
ner, may be spared many years
yet and that on each natal day he
may help to surround the festal
board with his children and their
posterity, and that each occasion
may be as enjoyable as the one
participated in yesterday at the
home of his son Percy.

Bill Brown, the man who is con-

a back alley in that city one night
about ten days ago and
abandoning it, used to drum
on the streets for a liquor house
on the north Bide of the Bquare,

three or four children in this city

Brown left this city about the
irst ot last March, and it is said
was accompanied by the young
woman, who was arrested last
3unday by Sheriff Ware and tak-
en to Texarkana.
According to the woman's own
story, as reported, they lived to-
gether as man and wife at Lewis-
ville, La., from some time last
spring up till some two weeks ago,
when they left there and went
to Texarkana to dispose of their
llegitimate infant, which was at
the time of going to the latter
)lace about three weeks old. It
8 said a night or so after reaching
that city that Brown took the
child and left it in a back alley, at
the rear of a saloon, where it was
bund the following morning,
lale and hearty and at last ac-
counts was alive and doing well.
The parents left the city Bhortly
after the child waa disposed of,
the father going east and the
mother coming west, to Gaines-
ville. The officers soon got on
their respective trails, and arrest-
ed Brown somewhere in Arkansas,
and caused the arrest of the wo-
man in Gaioesville. The charge
against each of them is assaalt to
murder. The young woman says
that she and Brown were to marry
as soon as he obtained a divorce
rom his wife. This promise
on the part of Brown
no doubt is what induced the
joung woman to take Up with
lim and pass for his wife, she be-
"ieving that he would get a divorce
shortly and then legally marry
ier. It is believed that the case
against the woman will be dis-
missed, while it is thought on the
other hand that the authorities at
Texarkana haying the matter in
charge will do everything in their
power to convict Brown, and as
he father of the unfortunate girl
has gone to that city to aid his
daughter in getting out of the
clutches of the law, it is thought
le will-lend a helping hand to-
wards prosecuting the vile wretch
who ruined his daughter.

The papers of eight of the can-

these papers come up to the mark
they have set, state certificates
will be issued to the writers of

By the way, educational mat-
ters seem to be flourishing in
Cooke county, and we take the
liberty of dropping a hint here to
trustees and all concerned: Be
sure to give those teachers who
have shown their progressive
spirit by attending the institute
the preference in appointments to
positions. They deserve this
recognition, and the schools that
may be intrusted to their manage-
ment will tare well this coming
winter.
We are determined to sell
