Denison, Tex., Aug. 24. -Conductor
Reams of the Choctaw division, who
arrived in the city from f:ha north,
state# that whila his train stoppnd for
water at Canny station he learned from
a number of tie-ohoppera that four
men had baen found dead In a camp
about three miles from the railroad
track.
It seems that two Indian boys were
down in the swamp hunting horses
when they noticed a camp some dis-
tance from the trail which they were
traveling. Thinking that some infor-
mation might bo obtained with refer-
ence to their stock they rode out but to
their horror the bodies of four dead
men were found. *
The lads rode away at fast as possi-
ble to the nearest camp, which was that
of the tie-choppers mentioned. .
A number'' of tuen went back with
the boys and it was a terribla sight in
deed that confronted them. It was
evidently a hunters’ ontilt with the
hunters all cold in death. The bodies
of four well dressed men were found,
ail riddled with bullets. Two were
lying in the tent, one under a wagon
and one neat a log, by the side of which
had been built a camp * -e.
The horses had been stolen, so also
had every article of valve that conld be
easily carried away. The men were all
young, the eldest noi over 25 or 28 years
of age. Their pockets had been turned
in si u © out and around the camp ware
•nnnd a large number of empty car-
tridges.
There was nothing about the person
of any of the men, nor about the camp,
by which the identity of the men oould
be ascertained.
It is reasonably certain, however, that
they are from some of the north Texas
counties.
The rumor is prevalent in the city
that a few days since a party of four
young men of Dallas county pasted

Coke for Hogg.
Waco, Tex., Aug. 22 —Sehator Coke
has openly declared his intention of
supporting Hogg and the ticks*. He
saysahe Etogg platform is an admirable
statement of Democratic princSfdqp and
policies. Further, the seventh plank of
the national and ninth plank of the
Houston platform are co-operative. The
Chicago platform outlines the general
policy wtaic1 the Houston platform sup-,
piementa by indicating the first irreat
step necessary to the attainment of the
great purposes desired by both.
Coke often his services to the com-
mittee until November.

Horse and cattle thieves and outlaws

How they met their death ia'not

shells would indicate a desperate battle,
yet the shells may have been those of
target shooting among themselves.
From the position in which the bodies
were found it would rather indicate

The political news just now Is so
voluminous that one of ordinary capaci-
ty is unable to digest it all, and ss a
consequence there are many political
dyspeptics.
As the leading aud long-time demo-
crats, such aa Coke, Gtbbs, Kilgore and
others, are heard from it Is evident that
the Clark boom will soon dwindle into
insignificance.

Judge McCormick delivered his
decision, Monday, at Dallas, granting
the injunction against the Texas rail-
road commission in the cases just tried
belore him, on the grounds Of being
unconstitutional and confiscatory. This
will cripple the commission, but the
cases will very likely be oarrled up to
the United States supreme court. The
masses of the people of Texas want a
commission, and If this one is faulty it
will be so amended as to conform to the
constitution.

Such a move is not at all advisable, for
it oould not give the county any more
efficient officers and, besides, would only
reoew the ill feeling caused by the re-
cent campaign.
