Yesterday Dr. Johnston, or
Haskell county, brought a Mr.
Brogdan, who was dangerously
and .poiwibly fatally, wounded
by a shot from a Colts 45, the
ball having entered above the
right ear, ranging downward and
lodging in the throat. Surgeon
& L, Powell, U. S. A., was
called in attendance, and after
probing the wound fears a fatal
result. However, Brogdan is at
the Planters, nble to be up and
aronnd.
The shooting occurred Wed
nesday, in camp, near the Mc-
Kenzie trail, at the crossing of
California cteefc, and w*s done
by one Johnson, both ; he and
Brogdan being employes of Mr.
Crawford; in driving a beid of
cattle to a new range., After the
shooting Johnson was detained
by Mr. Crawford till the follow
ing morning; when ^finding
Brogdan ajx> t .Mid* sopp'osing
the wonhd not dangerous, John-
son was released.. No adequate
cause is assigned for the shoot-
ings There was a quarrel of a

al!}'contribute toward attaining
this object.

by the chair as a special com-
mittee (of- one) to s?.cnre the

The following resolution w,'u-
passed:
Itesolcul, That the secretary
of. the state association of wool
growers, which association rep-
resents the piincipal source ol
wealth of a section of country so
grand in its proportions and in
its capabilities aa to attract the
attention of tho capital of the
world, and deserve the greatest
possible consideration and pro-
tection of the new .tvvorld,

communicate ut once with the
Texas representatives in the na-
tional congress, and in the name
of this association urge upon
them to use their utmost endeav-
ors to prevent any modification

tariff will prove detrimental, if
not fatal, to the wool interests
of'our empire stale. _
Thk> is responsive to the ac-
tion of the National Wool-Grow-
ers' association on the same
subject.
