Charlie Wateon Shot by Ben Booker
While he Was Beating Him
Over the Head.
In the wee sma hours of Sunday
morning at a dive in the city lien
Booker and Charlie Watson had a
difficulty over a game of cards, and
it is said that Charlie Watson is his
usual overbearing manner assaulted
Booker with a club and beat him over
tho head unmercifully, until Booker
smarting with pain and in defenso of
being beaten to death drew a 4o calibre
six-shooter and tired at his assailant
at close range, the ball taking effect
in Watson's chin, glancing along the
jaw bono and coming out at tho side
of his neck,
Chas. Watson fell like ho was dead
and Booker loft under the impression
that he had killed him.
Whenever the difficulty was men-
tioned Sunday about the only com-
ment it elecited was regrets that the
shot was not a latal one.
From accounts given us of the dif-
ficulty Booker was justifyable in
shooting.
The difficulty arose over a game of
cards as previously stated, at Andy
Williamson's gambling house, from
which Booker left and has not yet
surrendered to tho authorities.
Annie Abbott.
Monday night Mrs. Annie Abbott,
the little Georgia Magnetic Wonder,
appeared at the Grand Opera House
and gavo her more than wonderful
performance. A committee of re-
sponsible citizens were invited to go
on the stage and assist in showing her
wonderful power.
There are some things in human na-
ture that are beyond human compre-
hension, and wonderful beyond all
belief, if skepticism was not abashed
by ocular demonstration. Annie Ab-
bott, the slender woman weighiug 100
pounds, is one of that. That she, a
frail woman, should walk about a
stage in the presence of the most prom-
inent and muscular citizens audput to
shame their individual and collective
muscular power, seems a marvel be-
yond all description. Vet weight and
human muscle are playthings with
her. Her smooth white arms and
slender fingers possess a power that is
incomprehensible and indescribable,
baffling all medical and scientific
kuowledge and wisdom. He who has
never witnessed the wonderful gift of
this refined and always smiling south-
ern lady, has simply denied himself
a rare knowledge that is presented
but once in a life time. There was a
large audience in attendance last
night, and she was accorded en-
thusiastic applause.
She will give another performance
to-night.

At the Crand Opera House Sunday Night
by May Howard.
Considerable interest was manifest-
ed in the spiritualistic performance of
I May Howard Sunday night, and a
I fairly good house greeted her.
That she performed some wonderful
feats 110 oue can deny, and that too
under the glare of the electric lights
but as to the spiritualism, theaudience
was too intelligent to believe in the
manifestation of disembodied spirits
and the manager to avoid any contro-
versy disclaimed the performance as
such and said call it what you please.
Well, we will call it legerdemain,
and give the lady credit for being
just about as clever as any of perform
ers of that kind now on the road in
the tricks she attempts.
They have promised to return in
March and give a more extended and
elaborate performance.

Alba Hevwood in "Edgewood
Folks" will be the attraction at the
Grand Opera House next Erlday
night.
Edgewood is the name of a new Eu-
gland village and the "folks" are
some of its inhabitants. The action
concerns itself with the experience of
a youug clergyman settled in Edge-
wood whom certain wicked schemers
seek to despoil of a magnificent inher-
itance and whose fortuues are defend-
ed and saved through the counterplot
of a devoted friend, the latter charac-
ter, Tom DHloway, being performed
by Mr. Heywood, who assumes sev-
eral disguises.
Coing to Dallas.
Next Friday night there will be a
meeting of the Brenham Light Guard,
with an invitation to all the old mem-
bers to attend.
One of the main objects of the meet-
ing is to organize a team to go to Dal-
las to attend the encampment iu the
hope of capturing some of the
munificeut prizes ottered for the best
drilled companies.

The Santa Railway company have
beeu having considerable trouble with
freight trains breaking in twain, and
to avoid further trouble they have
adopted bell ropos and have them 011
all frieght trains now. The lio-bos
(haut-beaux) or tramps view this in-
novation with alarm as it will enable
brakemen to stop the train between
stations and put them off in desert
places.
Brenham people should awake to
their own interest iu the extension of

pouring them into our market.
