Policeman Charles Pitman Shot and
IxuUntly Milled.
Policeman Daniels Receives t Slight
Wound.
Sunday morning, a shooting homicide
in our city, startled our people. The per*
petratorof this most deliberate murder,
was a gambler, aud desperado known as
MAJOR JOUR DORN,
ami his victim was special policeman
Charles Pat mod.
The particulars of this dastardly affair,
we ure furnished by an eye witness, and
a participant in the melee, as follows:
About 1:30 Sunday morning. Policeman
Daniels was informed that one Charles
Sherman, a gambler, had a pistol on his
jiersoa. Daniels went to Sherman, at the
Grand Southern Saloon, aud asked him to
walk back with him. This, Sherman did
and when in the rear end of the building.
Daniels asked Sherman if lie had a pistol.
Sherman replied that lie had none. Dan-
iels, not satisfied witli this, told Sherman
thui lie must sec and took hold of both his
nnns. Sherman resisted and said lie would
die before he would Ih> searched.
Special Policemau Patmoucaine to Dan-
iels’ assistance, and took hold of the resist-
ing Sherman. Iu a moment after Pntuion
took hold of Sherman, a movement in the
rear caused him to turn his head, and as
he did so a
PISTOL FLASHED IX HIS FACE.
and he staggered. Daniels released his
hold on Sherman and caught his fulling
comrade. Tli -hot entered just below the
right check bone, and is supposed to have
ranged back and downward, striking the
spinal column, doing its murderous work
instantly.
Dorn, not satisfied
WITH OXE VICTIM
continued the lire, the second shot making
a slight flesh wound on Daniels' left arm.
Daniels, recognizing ilia danger, attempt-
ed to get behind a billiard table, and by
dint of lively dodging, escaped the third,

J. II. Wade, M. I)., called on us today,
lie visits Denison with view of locating.
Mr. Wade expresses himself well pleased
witli our growing city. He will probably
build here. All such are welcome to Den-
ison.
Mr. Stinnett, an old resident of Denison,
died at his residence, corner of Skhldy
street and Burnet avenue, this morning
about 5:30, of typbid pneumonia. Mr.
Stinnett was sixty-nine years of age, and
had been a resident of Texas for the past
twenty-nine years. He had been ill only
a fc a-days. The remains were taken to
Sherman to-dav at 10 o’clock, where they
will be hurried.
In talking among the citizens of out-
place, we are convinced that the appoint-
ment of Maj. li. M. Grubbs to theuosition
of postmaster of this place, meets the full
approbation of all. The Major is favora-
bly known here as a gentleman and busi-
ness man, and the Post Master General
could not have made a better selection.—
Now that tills vexed question is settled,
we hope all will he satisfied.

only men thoroughly in earnest as to (lie

; aud all attempts to ascertain what dlrec-

| The report that they had changed cloth-
ing and been furnished horses to escape,
is unfounded.
That tills was a cold blood murder, is
without question, and active efforts were
made to arrest the murderer; hut it is now
believed that lie will escape, at least for
the present.
