Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 17.—Dr. W.
H. Myers, one of the most eminent sur-
geons of the state, tested the Brown-
Sequard elixir on Michael Kenny of
Columbia City. The patient was so se-
riously afflicted with rheumatism that he
was unable to walk without the aid of
crutches. In less than an hour, through
the stimulating effects of the treatment,
Kenney threw away his crutches and
walked out of a store. Dr. Myers has
had no faith whatever in the elixir, but
iq answer to a question he remarked:
“I can only say that the stimulating ef-
fect is something miraculous. The man’s
pulse rose to 138, and he is walking
without crutches. I don’t understand
it.”

It will be seen that the state of Texas
is investing right liberally in Galveston
soil. The purchase of block 669 is prac-
tically accomplished. This block adjoins
the block donated by the city (668) and
will be the site of the medical branch of the
State university. The city has been quite
liberal and the aggregate price paid for
block 669 will not reach probably more
than $24,000.

The Latest Phase of tlie Horrible Inter-
necine Feud in Fort Bend County--Tlie
Killing of Sheriff Garvey and Others
Discussed in this City—Gov. Ross and
More Troops Now En Route to the
Scene of Battle.
Unusual interest has prevailed to-day
over the report of the desperate fight last
evening in Richmond, a very full ac-
count of which appeared in the News
this morning. Garvey, Blakely and
others engaged in the terrible fight were
known here, and the unfortunate affair
has been the absorbing topic of conver-
sation to-day. The news was not unex-
pected, as it was well known that more
trouble would come of the recent Terry-
Gibson killing. Parker, the man who is
charged by the Gibson, or Jaybird, side
with opening the fight, was attorney for
Kyle Terry, who is
CHARGED WITH KILLING
one of the Gibsons. The tragedy last
evening was the second chapter in the
conflict between the Jaybird and Wood-
pecker factions—but it is not the last, as
the news from there to-day would indi-
cate. Of the killed and wounded,
Garvey and Blakely, killed, and Mason
and Parker wounded belonged to the
Woodpeckers; Frost, Andrus and Gib-
son belonged to the Jaybirds. From the
list of casualties it would appear that the
Jaybirds got considerably the best of the
fight.
Thf.ee or four families who have fled
from Fort Bend county are now in the
city and will sacrifice all they have there
rather than return.
Local interest wTas increased to-day
when a rumor became current to the ef-
fect that Gov. Ross had telegraphed to
the commanders of the Washington
Guards and Sealy Rifles to hold their re-
spective commands in
READINESS TO PROCEED
to Richmond on receipt of orders.
Capt. Aguilo is awaiting orders with 24
men and Capt. Krausse with 40 men.
Below will be found the correspondence
by telegraph:

Dubuque, la., Aug. 17. — A man
named August Westermier, living at
Dyersville, this county, met with treat-
ment at the hands of his outraged neigh-
bors last night which will probably re-
sult in his death. Some time since he
left his wife, by whom he had several
children, and has since been living with
a pretty young widow, whose residence
is within a stone’s throw of his home.
This proceeding has so outraged the feel-
ings of the community that some sum-
mary method of punishment was re-
solved upon.
Last night at 12 o’clock a mob of over
100 men and boys silently gathered
around the house where Westermier and
his paramour resided. They demanded
admittance, and upon being refused
broke open the front door. Westermier
jumped out of a second story window
and fled. He ran through a cornfield and
down into the woods, but was pursued
and finally captured. The mob took him
to a paint shop, stripped him of his
clothes and shaved all the hair from his
body. They then gave him a coat of
turpentine followed by oneoi green paint
liberally laid on, and striped with red.
A rope was then fastened under his
arms and he was dragged through tne
main streets of the town stark naked,
followed by the howling mob, who pelt-
ed him with stones and filth. He was
finally taken before the home of his real
wife, where furtqer indignities were
heaped upon him. He was then driven
into the outshirts of the town and for-
bidden to return. The result of his in-
juries is not known, but they are very
severe beyond a doubt.

New York, Aug. 17.—A new enter-
prise is at present on foot for supplying
New Y"ork and eastern markets with fish
from the northern Pacific. The Yaquina
Deep Sea Fishing company of Portland,
Oregon, has equipped a steamer for the
purpose of traveling between the fishing
banks and a point of transportation, in
order that the catch may reach the east-
ern markets in fresh condition. The com-
pany has already shipped five cars of
fish, halibut and salmon, to New York,
upward of 100,000 pounds, and valued at
9 cents per pound.

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 17r—As a possi-
ble solution of the problem of using con-
vict labor to the best advantage the last
legislature appointed a committee to in-
vestigate as to the practicability of intro-
ducing the manufacture of twine into the
Stillwater penitentiary. It was then
suggested that if this could be success-
fully accomplished all of the twine re-
quired by the agricultural interests in
the state could be supplied at moderate
cost and thus emancipate the farmers of
the twine combinations and trusts. Ed-
win Dunn and F. W. Temple were ap-
pointed a committee and proceeded east
to investigate. After visiting Chicago,
Cincinnati, New York and other points
and interviewing a number of twine
manufacturers and dealers they have re-
turned and reported adversely to the
proposal.
Garvey and Blakely will be buried this
evening at 6 o’clock.
Henry Frost, wounded, is expected to
die.
An Elixir Victim.
Special to Evening Tribune.
Paris, Ky., Aug. 17.—Dr. Brown-
Sequard’s elixir of life has at last found a
victim. Dr. Henry Reseding of Bank
City prepared some of the fluid and in-
jected the liquid into a decrepit old ne-
gro. The manifestations from the pa-
tient which followed showed that there
was something wrong with the .“life,
elixir,” as the negro died in terrible ago-
ny. It is supposed that blood poisoning
was the cause of death. The negroes in
the village became so incensed at the
doctor that he was compelled to leave the
country immediately after the disastrous
experiment. He can not be found, and
it is supposed that the friends of the de-
ceased have killed him.
