SHOOTING AT
UNION DEPOT
C. E. WAT80N SERIOUSLY WOUND-
ED BY MAL DUMAS OF VAN
ALSTYNE.
DUMAS HAS ABM
SHATTERED
rhe Affair Caused a General Confusion
—Statement of Mr. Tom Beck-
ham, Eye Witnese.
This morning shortly after the ar-
rival of the Dallas News train at the
Union depot, Mr. 0. E. Watson. Inter-
ested with Mr. Turner Wilson of this
city, in the Denison-Cotton Exchange,
was shot and seriously wounded by
Mr. Mai Dumas of Van Alstyne. There
were five shots fired and there is
evidence that all of them did fearful
work.
Mr. Dumas handed his pistol to a
representative of the Register and
came up town with Patrolman Bob
Parsons. Mr. Watson was brought to
his apartments at Blnkley hotel. He
had bled profusely as he lay on the
platform of the depot, but he walked
up the starway at the hotel assisted
by friends. He was very cheerful and
said he would recover. His vitality
is wonderful. Th&re are four wounds,
one entering near the left nipple and
going through, one in the shoulder
and one in the neck, believed to have
been matlo by the same bullet ranging
diagonally. There are two wounds in
the left arm shattering the bone above
the elbow.
V , Mr. Dumas is badly wounded in the
left forearm, the bullet entering just
below the elbow and coming out at
the wrist. The bones are shattered
and the wound is serious.
Just before Mr. Dumas, who was
♦
standing near Watson, handed the
pistol to the reporter he said:
"He won't try to ruin the good name
of any other innocent young girl."
Mr. Watson has made no statement
except to say that if he had an enemy
on earth he didn't know it.
This morning a complaint was lodg-
ed in Justice Sale's court charging
Dumas with an assault to murder, and
bond was placed at $1000 which he
gave at pnce through an attorney, him-
self being under care of a physician
at the lióme of his daughter, Mrs. Dick
Cole.
Several persons saw portions of the
trouble but there Mas much confusion
and they dó not all tell it alike. ..Me,.
Tom Beckham said:
"V walked up on the depot platform
with Mr. Watson. Mr. Dumas was
either sitting or leaning against a
pair of baggage trucks. As we neared
him Mr. Watson addressing Mr. Du-
mas said: "Howdy do, or "good morn-
ing, old man." Mr. Dumas began to
fire. About the time the second shot
was fired I got hold of Dumas and
wrestled with him, calling for help.
There was one shot fired after I got
hold of him. ,I believe this is where
Mr. Dumas received the wound in his
arm. Dumas broke away from me and
followed Watson, who was unarmed."
The versions of the affair given by
nearly all show a lapse of time be-
tween the three first shots fired aud
the other two accounting for the time
consumed in the struggle with Beck-
ham.
This afternoon a Register reporter
called at the residence of Mr. Dick
Cole and saw Mr. Dumas who is suf-
fering a great deal with his arm. He
did not enter into the details of the
cause of the shooting, but that he is
firmly convicted that he was obeying
the unwritten law of the south there
can be nodoubt. He does not say that
Watson made any attempt to inflict
any bodily injury to him but expresses
himself secure and Justified in What
he did as a father who loved his
daughter as he should. The position
of Dumas Is not that Watson ha<J made
remarks but had personally offered
an insult.
At 3:30 p. m. Mr. Watson Is resting
just as well as any one so desperately
wounded could. He expresses confi-
dence In his recovery. He does8not
discuss the shooting. Both men have
a great many warm friends, mutual
friends of each, and they have been
close personal friends. The news of
the tragic affair came with stunning
effect.
