that of earlier in the season, most of

Injury ta Citizen.
Temple, Texas, Nov. 24.— (Special.)—A
serious fight occurred at the carry-all

which Joe Irvin received two blows on
the head wt an iron bar.
The trouble came up aver Mr. Irvin’S

seems he was In th*' way or caused
trouble to the managers, when one of
them pulled his ear. The boy ran cry-
ing to his father’s store just across the
square. Mr. Irvin took him back to the
piace and made him point out the man.
A young fellow named Kelley was
pointed out. Irvin struck him, knock-
ing him down. Robinson, another em-
ploye of the carry-all, caught Irvin by
the arm with the intention of being a
peacemaker. Irvin turned on Robinson,
when Kelley arose, grabbed an iron bar
and struck Irvin two. vicious blows on
the head before bystanders could Inter-
fere and disarm him. Irvin fell like a
log. Soon gaining consciousness, he
was taken to the sanitarium, where ais
wounds were dressed.
Kelley was turned over to Marshal
Smith by Mr. Darnsby, the manager of
the carnival, and was jailed. Later he
wan taken to Belton for fear the people
here might take him in hand.
Mr Irvin was very seriously wound-
ed. The skull was fractured in two
places and particles of bone were re-

the injury is such that the patient's

came from caner," said Mrs. Everett.
“Mr. Lareon stopped that within a week
after I commenced his treatment. a^
thongh the doctors claimed that there
waa no hope of stopping IL That has
been ahost five weeks ago and I have
gained my, strength back and am feeling
well.
"I can’t see but what I am entirely
cured.”

These remarks of Colonel Crawford
were prefatory to the introduction
of a large number of depositions of
persons living in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
concerning the life of Mrs. Flora Tay-
lor while she lived in Chattanooga.
Tiie objection of the state relative to
the Chattanooga depositions was sus-
tained by the court and certain ques-
tions therein given that the defense
sought to have introduced as evidence,
were declared ruled out. The defense
excepted to the ruling of the court and
also excepted to the court calling the
attention of the state to a deficlency
in its motion. Te rulings of the court
struck out nil the Chattanooga depo-
sitions except that portion relative to
the character of the witness. Mrs. Tay-
lor, as to truth and veracity

the introducing of testimony by the de-
fense was begun. Portions of deposi-
tions of H. L. McFarland, Newton Col-
lins. O. B. Wunschow, and J. La Graham

evidence. These portions that were ad-
mitted stated that the reputation of
Mrs. Flora Taylor in Chattanooga,
Tenn., for truth'and veracity, was bad.

strong and Henrietta Reavers were ex-
cluded and defense took bills of ex-
ceptions to the rulings of the court.

Dallas, Nov. 24.—(Special.)—Tb* de- <
fense began presenting its aide in the I
district criminal court this morning in 1
the murder trial of R. R. Parker. The ’
proceedings were inaugurated by Colo- ,
nel W. L. Crawford, who addressed the •
court upon the law governing attacks i
upon the character of a witness for <
truth and veracity; that is, the Im-
peachment of a witness. The general
rule, he said, was that in an effort I
to Impeach a witness by proving the
reputation of said witness for truth
and veracity, the character of said wit-
ness a* to other things could not be 1
proven. For instance. If a man was a
tinhorn gambler, or a forger or a horse
thief, he might still be a truth teller
and these characterisies could not be
inquired into to establish his reputa-
tion for truth and veracity. The rule '
in Texas, however, he said, was the
opposite to this general rule, in th*
impeachment of a female witness. A '
woman might be asked, be said. If she •
was not a fallen woman, to sustain an
effort to impeach her testimony; that
is, to establish her reputation for truth '
veracity—and he quoted-the cases of
Hall against the state and Exon again*!- '
the stateinTexs criminal reports in
support of his argument. There was :
another rule in Texas practice, he .
claimed, that the whole light as to the ’
general character, reputation and the '
environments of a witness might be
given to the jury in an investigation ,
as to the character of said witness for ,
truth and veracity, that the jury might
be able to weigh the evidence of said
witness. Take the reverse view, he
of the plaintiffs was that Rogers John-
son was run over by the cars while
he was crossing the track of defendant
in error upon a path used as a footway
by the public generally with the knowl-
edge and consent of the railway com-
pany. The lower court rendered judg-
ment for plaintiffs. The supreme court
in It* opinion, says: —
"Courts may review the findings of
juries to ascertain if they have been
properly reached, but may not, in ad-
vance influence the decision of ques-
tions of which the jury is the sole
judge by instruction like that in ques-
tion. The court can rarely know the
state of mind in a disagreeing jury—
whether It is a sincere and conscien-
tious conviction upon a question of fact
or merely a frivolous and captious ob-
jection sustained by nothing but pride
of opinion, and an instruction intended
for the latter state of mind might
sway the former. The fundamental
objection to such instructions is that
the law, in our opinion, prescribes no
rule for the court to lay down except
that the jry is to find in accordnc*
with the truth as to its judgment, hon-
estly applied to the evidence, lead it
to believe it to be; or, as its oath ex-
presses it 'that it will a true verdict
render according to the law and evi-
dence.’
“What prepossessions or inclinations
of mind a jury may surrender consist-
ently with an Intelligent and conscien-'
tious discharge of this duty 1s for him
to determine, for the reason that it is
his judgment the law seeks to ob-
tain, and he. should be left to form it
uninfluenced by advice from the court.""
The court holds that the court erred
in the admissison or certain evidence
She heard Rell using vile epithets and
abusive language to her husband just
before the shots were fired. She also
testified to seeing Mr. Rell and Mrs.
Taylor leave the room before the shoot-
ing and said that at or about the time
of the shooting she saw Mrs. Taylor in
the hallway out of the room where th*
shooting took place. Adjourned till to-
morrow.
Austin, Nov. 24.—(Special.)—The case
of Alice and Rogers Johnson against
the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe Rail-
road company, which has been in th*
courts for many years and is some-
what celebrated, was today reversed
and remanded by the supreme court

Alice is the mother of Rogers John-
son, a minor, and they brought two
separate suits, which were consolidated,
to recover damages which they alleged
to have been inflicted upon the boy
through the negligence of the servants
of the defendant railroad. The claim
wise bring about the prosecution of
all offenders, both to recoup to the
outraged policy holders the mmillions
believed to have been stolen from
them, and to have those who have so
siockingly betrayed the trust reposed
in them, convicted of and punished for
their high crimes and misdemeanors,
therefore
. Be it resolved as the sense at the
pclicy holders of Texas, In convention

policy holder in either the New Y’ork
.fe dr the Mutual Life of New York

transmit his or her voting proxy to

Supreme Court H*M* Agetit Ha* No
eAuthority to Make Paro\‛Contrnet.
Austin, Nov. 24.—(Special.)—Tn* su-
preme court today reversed and re-
manded the case of Jackson & Ed-
wards vs. the Gulf. Colorado & Santa
Fe Railway ‘company, from Lampasas
county. The trial court gave plain-
tiffs a judgmentof 14,000 damages foP
a breach of contract In the shipment at
cattle from Lampasas to Halle and Sa-
pulpa. I. T. Plaintiffs allege that J. I.
Conway, livestock agent of the rail-
road. entered into a parol contract
with them for the movement of said
trains to be drawn by single engines
and4hat double headers were used and
that other freight was handled on the
trains, all of which was alleged to
be in violation of the contract. . The
court says that the provisions of the
contract must be held to,be unauthor-
ised and not binding upon the railroad
company.for the lame reasons which
deny to the local agent the authority
to contract to furnish cars at another
stiion. The character of the trains
which were to be run in the transpor-
tation of the cattle and the number of
engines to be used were matters under
the charge and control of entirely dif-
ferent departments from that in which
Conway or the local agent of the rail-
way company was engaged, th* eourt
