In Dull Times
Business men are forced to use every means to keep up prices and trade, but the only
sure way to push up trade is to pull down prices which I propose to do by selling 50
No. 7 Cook Stovks, with 40 pieces of furniture at $10.00 each, au^ 200 Heating
Stoves ranging in price from $2.50 to $45.00. I will say now that I have the nicest line of Base Burners for hard coal
and coke that ever came into the city of Denison. To those going to build I will say that I have just received a big lot
of Locks and Hinges and 200 kegs of the Celebrated Pittsburg Steel Nails. Now on these goods and tin work I don't
propose to take a back seat for any body and if you will come in and see me when in want of such goods, I will guaran-
the you as low prices as can be had in North Texas. Respectfully, 6. T. FINNELL.

The Reiler Hotel in Sherman is
to be raised another story.
The wheat is exceedingly prom-
ising at the present writing, so the
farmers in this vicinity tell us.
Mrs. Lydia Ball, wife of the late
Sam Bali, city marshal of Sherman,
was married to Millard Patterson at
El Paso, on the 9th inst.
There was a slight earthquake

Official returns from all the coun-
ties in the Ninth congressional dis-
trict show a majority of 5,777 for
Roger Q. Mills over J. D. Rankin.
Mills’ majority two years ago was
«3--84- ~_
In the Sixth district, Abbott,
Democrat, is elected over Kearlz,
Independent, by 5,077 majority.
Total vote cast, 26,807.
We are pleased to learn that the
North Texas Commercial and Lit-
erary Institute, presided over by
Prof. J. C. F. Kvger, formerly ot this
city, is proving a success. The at-
tendance is large and the patrons are
well pleased with the management.
The Sherman Register says the
present county jail “is in a terrible
condition, and it is a shame to con-
fine mien in it this damp and chilly
weather.” The Gazetteer said
something like that last winter, and
the way the Sherman papers and
jail officials came back at us, we
were almost persuaded that the
Grayson county hotel was a mode!
of coinfort and elegance.
A Disappointed Samaritan.
On Wednesday night a switch en-
gine struck a cow in the yard near
the car scales and threw her into the
ditch, breaking her leg. Bailey Vin-
cent hearing" the fuss, captured and
shouldered a stretcher and started
for the scene of the catastrophe, and
on his arrival was greeted with an
elegant large laugh. Bailey said be-
thought it was a man. One of the
yard men kindly explained to him
that a man had only two feet, two
hands and no horns.
AN ERROR AND AN APOLOGY.
In last week’s issue of the Gazet-
TEKH, iii our comments over the race
for county attorney, we made the
unaccountable, but inexcusable,
j bluder of saying county judge when
I it was our intention to say county
: attorney. No. doubt the intent was
j manifest to rjiost of our readers, but
1 for fear some one may have thought
we intended to reflect upon Judge
i Gregg, and the way his friends man-
aged the canvass in his behalf, we
re-publish the article itSsjt should
have appeared. The editor of this
paper entertains the highest respect
for Judge Gregg, both as a citizen
and as an officer, and regrets exceed-
ingly that this mistake occurred:
The present incumbent ot the responsi-
ble otlice of County Attorney has been
re-elected by a small majority. If he had
had an opponent known to the people
throughout the county he would have
been snowed under by a big majority- As
it is his previous majorities have been cut
down wonderfully in nearly every im-
portant precinct. Money was spent
freely for his election, and other candi-
dates were swapped off by his workers
whenever necessary to secure him a vote.
, No small number ot the supporters of
'Judge Hare joined hands with the oppo-
sition to Mr. Cox, and by this unholy al-
liance his opponent’s vote was, no doubt,
Considerably increased. A very large
majoritv of thV saloon keepers
and
“sports” in this city were bitterly “fer-
ninsed’' Mr. Cox, but we are proud to say
that among the liquor dealers there were
two or three honorable exceptions. It is,
however, exceedingly gratifying to the
Gazetteer to known that the present
County Attorney had his majority cut
down several hundred compared with his
vote two years ago. In 1884 he had 11S4
majority over the total vote cast tor Cook
and Turner in this city, and only 349
majority over Cox last Tuesday. The
returns from the county ate not all in at
this writing, but the official vote will
make a showing anything but compli-
mentary to his popularity.
After many- day# our neighbor grocery men have found out where

Thanks, neighbors! Every new house that comes increases our
trade, and we have had to increase our room and force to keep up with
the boom. To the balance of the trade who have not vet moved, we
would say, there are still a few stores unoccupied and new ones building,
and we hope to welcome the balance of you to HEADQUARTERS.
To the public and our special customers we return many thanks tor

EX-CtOV. GEORGE H0ADLY.
Sunday before last, at a meeting
held at Cincinnati, of two thousand
creditors of the Purcell estate, a let-
ter was read from Ex-Gov. George
Iloadlv, one of the four sureties for
the defaulting assignee, J. E. Mart-
nix, who justified in $250 000, pro-
posing to pay his share as bondsman,
$62,500, and to turn over the stocks,
sureties, and mortgages which Man-
nix had given to secure him against
loss.
“This,” observes the Springfield
Republican, “is a very extraordina-
ry proceeding. Ex-Gov. Hoadly
is, of course, liable for the amount
of his bond, though he might have
tried to evade payment by the many
conveniences of the law which pro-
tect such evasions; but the securities
behind the bond are a personal mat-
ter, and could not have been touch-
ed. By surrendering these he makes
himself a poor man, and can leave
to his children, instead of a fortune
gained by a life-time of hard work,
only the heritage of an honorable
name. It is a costly sacrifice as the
world goes, but it is as valuable a
gift as he could offer his fellow-men,
and it puts to shame the authorities
of trie church who have tor these
ten years held on by every possible
device to the vast property created
bv the plunder of the poor.”
George Hoadly is the man who
when he was nominated for Gover-
nor of Ohio, was declared by pietists
and political demagogues as unwor-
thy of the office, (which he after-
wards filled with high honor to his
party and his State,) on the ground
| that he was an Infidel and an officer
; of the Free Religion Association.—

JUVENILE TRAGEDY.
Clarence Walker. Aged 13 Yeara, 8hoota
Himself Accidentally,...
Much excitement was created Wednes
day alternoon in the north part of town
by the intelligence that Clarence Walker,
son of H. H. Walker who lives on Morton
street between feurnett and Fannin ave-
nues, had accidentally shot himself near
Knaur’s gin on the Mo. Pacific railroad,
about two and a halt miles from the city.
The intelligence of the tragedy was
brought to town by Gus Knecht, Jr.
aged about 12 years, and another boy,
both of whom were in company with
young Walker at the time of the shoot-
ing. The boys ran all the way from the
gin to the city and upon making the
dreadful intelligence known an express
wagon was sent to the spot and the boy’s
body conveyed to his home on Morton
street, where but a few hours before he
had appeared In perfect health.
A Gazetteer reporter viewed the body
an hour after its arrival in the city and
also interviewed Master Knecht and an-
other boy who was a [member of the party-
in whose company young Walker left
town. The body showed no mark save a
bullet hole in the forehead just above the
eyebrow and almost between the eyes,
trom which death must have resulted
almost immediately. The fatal shot had
entered the forehead a little to the right
of the medium line and had forced the
right eye slightly from its socket.
Master Gus Knecht being questioned,
stated that himself and Walker, his
brother, Harry Hall and a couple of other
boys were out hunting and had wandered
out to the switch near Knaur’s gin where
the shooting occured. Walker had a lit
tie 22-caliber pistol whic-n seemed to have
something wrong with it, and though it
was loaded he fooled with it a great deal
twirling it round upon his finger while
cocked and looking into its muzzle, etc.
1 Its brother tried to get it away from him
but he wouldn’t give it up, but he let
Harry Hall see it and after examining it
Harry gave it back to him, and he went
off playing with it the same as before.
About this time two trains were pulling
in to the switch from the north and two
from the south The -boys all started to
walk away from the railway track except
Walker, and as the trains stopped they
saw a brakeman get oft his train and
commence fooling with Walker and tak-
ing his. hat, and they heard Walker
threaten to shoot him if he didn’t give it
up. They walked on and had gone about
one hundred yards when they heard two
pistol shots; they paid no attention until
they heard twobrakemen calling to them,
“Come and see what boy this is.” They
hurried back and found Walker lying a
tew yards from the railroad track upon
his face, with the pistol beside him, hav-
ing one chamber empty. His brother ran
to him and, rolling him over, asked him
to rise. The hand he had taken tell back
nerveless to his side—he gasped once, and
was dead. Knecht and Hall came to the
city as fast as their legs could carry them,
and broke the news to the horrified
parents and a conveyance was sent out
after the unfortunate boy’s remains as
described above.
The boys intervied both agreed in stat-
ing that they heard two shots, but did not
agree very well in any of the other par-
ticulars and seemed too much excited to
be in condition to give authentic details.
But one chamber of the little pistol was
emptied, and it is scarcely presumable
that the brakeman exchanged shots with
the boy, and it is therefore likely that, in
the number ot shots filed, the boys were
mistaken. However, we understand that
a post mortem examination and inquest
will be held in order to ascertain for cer-
tain if death was produced by the bullet
which came from the empty chamber of
the little pistol.
A Gazetteer reporter interviewed
Buckner Walker, brother to the deceased,
Clarence Walker. We give the interview
in Buckner’s own words. He said:
We all went hunting to-day, my brother
Clarence, Harry Hall, Dred Parks, Gus
Knecht, Mr. lfuffv’s boy and myself. We
went toward the railroad track about three
miles southwest of town, at the switch
near Knaur’s gin, where we saw a train
coming from Denison; my brother said
he was going down there to see if brother
Will or Sid Smith were on that train; we
saw him get on the hind end of the
caboose, when one ot the brakeman got
his cap; don't know who he was. This
train was running slowly and I got on the
caboose and looked in; Clarence was
standing in the middle of the car asking
for his hat and telling the brakeman he
had to get off; the man jumped at him,
as I thought, in fun. I then hollered at
Clarence, telling him to come on; I then
jumped off the train and Clarence fol-
lowed. About this time the train had got
on the switch and had stopped. We then
turned and walked off, leaving Clarence;
we tried to get him to come with us but
he would not. The brakeman still had
Clattence’s cap, and had gone up into the
cupola and put the cap on the sill, where
he rests his arm. Clarence said he was
going to make the brakeman give him his
hat, or he would hurt him; in about five
minutes we heard two pistol shots; I
think they were about a minute or a min-
ute and a half apart. Two men called to
us and we went down to the track and
found Clarence lying on his left side,
about three feet from the track, with his
feet toward the track, and the engineer
and fireman of a train that had just come
in from the west, standing over him : the
engiueer I did not know, the fireman’s
name is Smith. Clarence did not ride
over fifty yards on the train before he got
off. We then started for home and met
mv father and Dr. Gardner coming out
in a buggy-.
THE INQUEST
was necessarily defered until Thursday at
2 o’clock. When the boy’s body, reached
the city Wednesday, Judge Moseley was
sent for but being in Gainesville attend-
ing court he was not to be had. Justice
Hinkle, of Sherman, was then telephoned
tor, but had other duties to perform and
could not come, so Judge Cook, Justice
of the Peace elect, went to Sherman on
Thursday morning’s train, was duly
sworn in as justice of the peace, and
came back on the noon train to Denison.
Constable Mixson had, meanwhile, sum-
moned the following jury: E. B Sims,
John McNamara, R. P. Hibbard, C. C.
McCarthy, Jack Sims and H. H. Law-
rence. The jury proceeded to the resi-
dence of the father of the deceased to
view the remains and witness the autopsev
which was performed by Drs. Wilkins and
Markham, after which they returned to
Judge Moseley’s court and commenced
the examination of witnesses.
Ihe first sworn was Dr. C A. Wilkins.
The substance of his testimony was
briefly this: That he was a physician,
resident of Denison; that he had been

LEEPER-UNGO HARDWARE HOUSE
called upon, in company with Dr. Mark-
ham, to make a post mortem examination
of the body ot Clarence Walker; that he
had examined the body and assisted in
'extracting the ball from his head. It was
a 22-caliber ball which, when compared
with one extracted 60m a cartridge,
proved to be five grains lighter, due to
particles being trimmed off in its passage
through the bones. The ball entered the
forehead above the right eve and continued
back on a horizontal line through the
brain, until it was stopped by the poste-
rior bones of the skull. There were no
other marks upon the body.
Dr. Markham’s evidence was substan-
tially the same as.that of Dr. Wilkins.
* Harry Hall, aged 14, being sworn,
stated ihat Clarence Walker, the deceased,
had jumped on the rear ot a caboose at-
tached to a freight train going west; that
there was a brakeman in the cupaloof the
caboose and he came down and, going
out on the platform, took Clarence’s hat.
Clarence jumped off and got two rocks
and threw them at the brakeman, one of
them hitting the caboose. The train
moved on, and Clarence said he would
follow it up to the switch and get his hat,
or shoot the brakeman. He left the rest
of the boys and went round the curve
after the train, and shortly afterwards
they heard a shot and in a little time an-
other one. In a tew minutes another
freight train came past them, going in the
opposite direction to the first (it had
passed the first one at the switch) and a
brakeman on this train called to them that
a bov had shot himself on the side of the
road. They went back and found Clar-
ence lying on the south side ot the track
in a dying condition, with his hat upon
his head and his head lying towards Den-
ison. The west bound train had pulled
out.
The evidence of Schroder, Parks and
Knecht was about parallel with that of
Hall, the only difference bcing-that Parks
only heard one shot, but the boys called
his attention to a sound which thev said
was a shot.
Harry Hall was re-called : and stated
that the west bound train was moving
when the first shot was fired, but standing
still when they heard she second shot.
There being no more witnesses present,
Judge Cook declared the inquest ad-
journed till 2 o’clock Friday, stating that
in order to have the case fully understood
it would be necessary to have the evidence
of the crews of both trains.
Wednesday night the impression., hav-
ing gained ground that the brakeman ot
the west bound train had shot Clarence
Walker, Marshal Cutler telegraphed to
Fort Worth and had both brakemen of
the train, Pugh and Blythe, arrested. No
warrant could be obtained however, (the
impression of their guilt having been
effaced by finding the ball, which pro-
duced the boy’s death, to be a 22-caliber,
the same as his pistol) ahd they were
therefore released Thursday night.
The jury met Friday afternoon at two
o'clock but as the attendance of the train
men had not yet been secured, they ad-
journed till 7 o’clock and met again, but
as the parties wanted were not forthcom-
ing the matter was continued till Monday.
So it remains at the present time, and but
little doubt is entertained that Clarence
Walker shot himsei accidentally.

A negro slipped into the Parlor Milli-
nery Store, on the comer of Burnett
avenue and Woodard street, Wednesday-
night about 6 o’clock, and succeeded in
tapping the till of $75 and making his
escape without having his identity known.
Mrs. Saunders, the proprietress, was sit-
ting in the back part of the shop which
is separated from the front part by a low
partition, having in its centre a wide
door-wav, when she heard a sharp
clicking noise proceeding from the direc-
tion of the money drawer, and going
to the door-way betore mentioned, she
saw the black head erf a negro protruding
above the show case. She cried “thief,”
and the party cut and ran, but not with-
out taking ail that was in the till, which
amounted to $75. He is described by-
Mrs. Saunders as being of smail stature
and wearing a broad brimmed brown hat,
and a good suit of dark clothes. The
public are on the look out for him, but
so far as made known have discovered no
trace ot him. He is a bold fellow—no
doubt the one who robbed Franklin’s
till Tuesday night—and if a catefu! look
out is kept in ail the shops he may be
discovered trying to get in his funny work
again, when a judicious use of cold lead
would be a salutary remedA to apply to-
waads taking the twist out of his warped
morality.

takes place next Monday evcnmif at Gallajther'*
Hall. That we have th« tmeni system of water
works in the Stale is declared upon all sides, aod
that we have also the finest corps of Art men in the
State may be declared, wc think, with equal truth.
Under the discouraging circumstances whick for
inerly hampered and rendered futile their efforts to
save property, they were always promptly on hand
to do what they could, and now that the city. In
constructing the water works, ha* placed within
their reach something with which to render exe-*

Now that the cold weather has
given us warning of its approach it
is no longer necessary to argue the
propriety of laying in a good stock
of warm underwear ; but there still
exists the open question, “Where
can I get the best value in this liner”
To this question tVe answer that
most unquestionably the best value
in underwear and in all other lines
of ladies’ and gents' furnishing goods
is to be found at M. Waller & Co’s.
There is a stock of flannels at this
popular establishment which it
would make a freezing Choctaw
warm to his fingertip's to look at.
There are gents’ furnishings which
have only to be shown to command
sale. Goods made from the finest
and most durable fabrics and in
styles that never fail to please. The
ladies’ dress goods department is
the most complete to be found in
any store in the city, comprising all
that is staple, fancy, durable, or
novel. The genius of M. Waller
& Co. tor getting at the sub strata
of low prices on staple dry goods is
too well known to require mention
from us, suffice it that they have in
thi-, line struck the richest vain this
season that has yet been brought to
light and no one should purchase
a yard o£ staple dry goods until he
has been offered a bonanza bargain
by M. Waller & Co.
The largest stock of ladies’ Jer-
seys to be found in the city are now
on exhibition at M. Waller & Co's.
Every variety of style, shade, and
fabric known to the trade is repre-
sented and the low prices at which
they are offered will astonisn those
who are familiar with the figures
asked for them at most of the dry
goods houses throughout the state.
The last and most important an-
nouncement: Twenty Per Cent.
allowed off all purchases of under-
wear made during the coming week.
Don’t forget to save money by pat- i
ronizing M. Waller & Co.
Ketir. I hey, however, itrk^rve further rnrmirxg
merit. When the r«»t nt the rify i* o»leep, they
are out in utorni anti wind fighting with the lurid ...>*.■>*, «««
