fifth ward inquest.
At 7 o'clock this morning Justice Ilailey
held an inquest in the Fifth ward, near
Lyon's corner, on the body of Albert Jen-
kins. a l.Vyear old negro boy, who died sud-
denly last night at the house of his uncle,
Davey Ballard. After investigation, the
.■jury rendered a verdict that deceased came
to his death from " some cause unknown to
this jury, and that no blame can attach to
any one for said cause."
The evidence of Ballard showed that he
had gone four miles away to timber for the
purpose of cutting wood. The little boy
later in the day arrived at the camp with
drinking water. He made a campfire ami
soon stretched himself before it on the cold
ground. His uncle, seeing that he was mo-
tionless for a long time, aroused him and at-
tempted to drive him home, but he would
not go. Ballard then continued his wood-
cutting, and did not again notice the boy
until near nightfall. He wanted his uncle
to let him lie by the fire all night, but Bal-
lard scared him out of that notion by tell-
ing him the panthers would tear him to
pieces. He then crawled upon Ballard's
back, who started to walk home with him.
The boy at length became so weak that he
let go his hold on Ballard's neck, and was
finally placed upon the ground nnd left
there until Ballard walked home and re-
turned with his wife. They reached home
with the sick boy in the night time, and at
once put liim in bed, applying hot irons to
his feet. He never spoke after being lifted
from the ground by Ballard and his wife,
and died one hour after reaching home.
arraigned fouil times.
Yesterday James Corrigan was hauled in
front of the station-house on a dray. His
nose was bleeding and peeled, and the side
of his face seemed as if it had been run
over with a patent peeler. He was carried
into the prison by a force of blue-coated
and brass-buttoned policemen, whom he no
doubt took for United States officers, as he
howled vociferously for the United States.
On being put under arrest a few days be-
fore by a gray-coated deputy sheriff he was
a screaming Confederate. This morning
Corrigan was arraigned before Justice
Breeding on a charge of indecent ex-
posure and received a fine of .$50
and costs, amounting to )|;62 70. This
is the third time he has been before Justice
Breeding within the past four weeks. His
expenses in the way of fines and costs will
reach a grand total of about $125. sufficient
money to have purchased a good suburban
lot. Outside of Corrigan's Jegal difficulties
in Justice Breeding's Court, he has had a
few complications of the same character
before the mayor of the city.
bought for his skin.
A pound sale took place to-day. One
horse vva&-bought merely for his skin. The
old fellow was evidently a vagrant that had
been sent adrift by a cruel owner because
he was of no further service. Natur ■ had
provided him with the means of sustaining
life by giving him rich grass, but the law
would not let him enjoy it. He should have
steered for the banks of the lower bayou
and enjoyed the balance of his days in rest
and rural simplicity.
will 11e buried to-morrow.
Sum S. Hudson, a popular livery-stable
man, who died yesterday, will be buried to-
morrow morning at!) o'clock from his late
residence, on the corner of Louisiana street
and Texas avenue. The cause jj of his
death was from the bite of a horse. Over a
year ago. while examining a horse, the ani-
mal gave him a severe bite in the side.
From this an abcess formed which Mr. Hud-
son neglected to have operated upon. He
was an Englishman by birth and possessed
all tlic manly and sterling traits of that
people. He arrived in Houston eighteen
years ago and during all those years lias
been a good citizen. His age was fifty-six
years. He leaves a wife in feeble health
and three nephews.

INDICTED FOR MUlvDF.R.
The grand jury to-day presented an in-
dictment against William P. Churchill for
the murder of Lopez Jefferson, at t ire
Hutcltins house, on the 17th of last month.
Churchill was at once arrested by Sheriff
Font, :.nd by order of the Criminal Court
was committed ts jail without the benefit of
bail. On the preliminary trial he was put
under &1100 bonds.
the gerkky case.
The Gerkey case was not set by the Crim-
inal Court to-day. It will be remembered
that Gerkey, a faiiey car painter, one after-
noon, after a carriage ride to Harrisburg,
purchased a pistol, went to a cottage oppo-
site the county jail and shot and killed a
womr.n named Evans. A mvstery sur-
rounded the affair then as it dries now. No
connecting link could be traced between
the slayer and slayed. One was a young
workingman with abilities approaching the
artistic: and the other was a woman of the
town, who showed by her actions that
slic had left a pure social atmosphere,
and evidently deeply regretted it. While
the bullets of Gerkey ended her days, they
surely saved her many h nit's of anguish
for her departure from a true social life to
one very stony, ugly and devoid of every
vestige of happiness that would leave a pic-
ture to gaze back upon as the years leave
their frosts upon the hair.

DEATH IN A DINING-ROOM,
BLOODY TRAGEDY IN A WACO HOTEL.
Two Drummers Quarrel, Come to Blows and
Ore Is Shot Down by the Over-
statement by the Slayer.
Special to The News.
Waco, February 4.—The dining hall of
the new McClelland hotel was the scene of
a tragedy to-night. Among the numerous
guests who seated themselves at the va-
rious tables at 7.30 were Will Lamb, of Chi-
cogo. and J. A. Graham, of St. Louis.
Shortly after taking seats at the same
table, they began a conversation,
which led to a quarrel that end-
ed in blows and the discharge of three
pistol shots. Graham received the blows
and Lamb the contents of the weapon dis-
charged. One of the balls took effect just
above the collar-bone near the breast-bone
and passed out at the rear of the neck.
Another entered about three inches above
the left nipple and ranged backward
through the shoulder-blade, and still an-
other entered the left armpit and buried it-
self in the muscles of the back. Two of the
shots were mortal,
producing death
in less than two hours. Will Lamb repre-
sented the ltoberts Lee company, of Chi-
< ago. dealers in pieture-wreatlis and art
furniture. He was a Canadian by birth,
about thirty years of age, of medium
height, well knitted physically, aetive in
movements and aggressive in dis-
position. This was his first season
m central Texas, and second visit
to Waco. He seemed to be a stranger
to the fraternity of commercial tourists. fj.
A. Graham was'traveling for the R. and T.
A. Funis Stationery company, of St. Louis,
and is well known throughout the State.
He is a brother of John W. Graham, gen-
eral freight agent of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway. He is originally front Mem-
phis. Tenn.' Accounts of the tragedy by
eye-witnesses differ as to details. H. 11.
Iiannon, the head waiter, gives the follow-
ing:
version of tne tragedy.
The two men were at the second table
from the door, on the left. I heard Lamb
say, " You are twice bigger than I am, but
you are a son of a b ." With this Lamb
stiuck Graham, and the latter fell to the
floor, Lamb on top pounding Graham. 1
attempted to part them. As I reached and
took hold of Lamb's arm the pistol was
fired and I sprang back. Three more shots
followed in quick succession. Graham
then rolled Lamb off him, rose with
the smoking revolver
in his hand, and passed out of the dining-
reiem through the main entrance into the
hall. They had been quarreling for at
least five minutes before the conflict be-
gan. I did not hear Graham call Lamb
any hard names. They hail evidently been
drinking a little, although neither was
drunk. That is all I know."
graham surrenders.
Graham, on going into the hall, paced up
nnd down the corridor awaiting the arrival
of an officer, to whom tie surrendered his
pistol and his person. His face was bruised
and swelling, with a cut skin deep across
his forehead. He was nervous and restless
physically, but calm in speech. He said he
did the shooting and was prepared to stand
the consequences, of his acts, but protested
that the shooting was done in self-defense.
Graham was removed to the county jail and
incarcerated. In the meantime two sur-
geens were called to the assistance of
Lamb, v. ho had him removed to a sleeping
apaitment across the hall from the dining-
room, where the wouncis were critically ex-
amined and the balls located as already
indicated. The dying man's pains were re-
Keyed by hyperdemic doses of morphine.
He lingered until 0.30, when he passed
away peacefully. The remains will be for-
warded to Chicago.
in an interview
w iili the representative of The News Gra-
ham made the following statement: " I
met the man x had trouble with as I was go-
ing down stairs from the hotel office to the
dinning-room. We entered the room at the
same time and took seats at the same table.
He began picking at me by saying 'that a
man who traveled for a St. Louis house was
no gecd.' I replied that I traveled for the
horse that paid me the most without any
repaid as to the location of the firm. This
I said to ward off the offense, as I saw that
he was determined to pick a quarrel with
lie.
rising to itis feet
lie said: 'You stinking son of a , I
don't take nothing,' and he struck me in
the faee before finishing the sentence. That
is all I know, for lie hit me hard and fast,
1 l ocking me out of my chair over against
the wall on to the floor. While he was on
•top of me I saw something bright
flash, and thought it was either a
pistol or a knife. I was on my left
side, and my pistol was in my right
hip-pocket. When I saw the bright flash I
drew my gun, and, thrusting tip. fired with-
out laving time to aim. I don't know how
many times I fired. In fact, I was so dazed
by th e pounding on my face and head that I
was haidly conscious. As I have already
state d, I have no remembrance of ever hav-
ing seen the man before he overtook me on
the stairway leading to the dining hall.
About two years ago I mot
a vicuy i'retty woman
at Round Rock. We occupied rooms on the
s; me floor, anel our fancy seemed to be
mutual. At any rate we became intimate
during my short stay in the town. As she
lasftdn'y open room a card with the
phrase, ' I am thine,' was flipped on my
table near the door. I overtook her and
met lier aelvances with the petition it' I
could call and see her. She replied: 'Ask
ii y child.' I did so and was answered'No.'
The child smiled, as I thought, knowingly,
when she answered. Making most of the
situation, I became intimate with lier al-
lege d mother. I lost my gold watch during
my last visit. Being in'doubt as to where I
le st it, the matter was subsequently placed
in the hands ofdetectives with instructions
to at rest no one. after locating the watch,
until he had conferred W'ith me
describing the person in whose possession
1 c iound it. I was to pay the detectives $25
for the above information and secured him.
Sen e time afterward the watch was found
in the possession of a woman answering
the description of the
WOMAN IN QUESTION.
1 paid $25 and the matter was dropped.
1 mention this incident to'give an insight to
ft»j frame Of mind. The following year, ou
my return to Texas, I was warned of the
danger of my gallantry. I armed myself
anel took in my trade at Rouiiel Rock, with-
out any developments to warrant the w >r-
ljilig of my friend, anel I dismissed my
fettis. Licit Saturday evening 1 was in
Austin, and went iiito the opera-house.
During the first intermission a friend and
myself went out to take a drink. Whlb at
the bar a stranger accosted me, asking if I
1 i.fw liim. I replied, no. He informed me
that he was the husband of the woman in
question and
struck me
iwo or three times. Retreating, I wont to
the Baymond house, where messages were
bi ought to me that the stranger and his
friends were coming to kill me. I left by
buggy for the nearest station, but missed
ti c train and continued my ride to Round
Rock. On my arrival I saw "some one whom
I took for the stranger and left for George-
town on horseback. Under the impression
that 1 might meet the stranger at any
point. I
purchased a pistol
w lueh accounts for my being armed to-night
when Lamb began picking at me at the sup-
per table. My Austin experience flashed
across my mire! v. ith the suspicion that he
might be one of the men who was wi ll the
stranger when I was assaulted. As fiere
was no cause for quarrel I could not fa 'iom
lamb's purpose. It was while I was in this
frame cf mind when he curseel me and be-
gan beating me, knocked me from the chair
and jumped upon me. When flown us 1
have stated. 1 fireel, when I saw something
flashing in the light as he was upon me."
ANOTHER VI I.SION OF THE TltAOEDY
by an eye-witness, who was seated across
the roe in at a table, is that Graham brought
on the attack by cursing Lamb. The mat-
ter will be investigated by a jury of inquest
to-morrow, when the whole facts adduced
will be given to tin' readers of The News.
