A Case Deported Near Texar-
kana—Other Moles,
Special to tlie Dallas Herald.]
Galveston, Sept. 4, 8:30 p. in.—
There was much surprise and indig-
nation in this city this afternoon,
occasioned by notification from Jir.
Rutherford, health officer of Hous-
ton, that that city would quarantine
against Galveston at 6 o’clock this
evening. The reason for this action
is the refusal of the Galveston board
of health to pormit tbo Morgan line
steamer, City of New York, from
Now Orleans August 22d, for Hous-
ton, to enter tins poit, hIio having
left JNew Orleans with goods when
j the scourge was at its height. A
largely attended public meeting was
held this evening and resolu-
tions denunciatory to tlie action on
the part oi Houston passed, and I
a committee of ten business men
appointed to confer with a similar
number of Ilous'on. Gov. Hubbard
lias boon telographod to, to interfere
against this unwarranted action by
tho Houston hoaltli officor. Tboro
is not a caso of yellow fever in Gal-
veston, and tho quarantine against
tho steamer City of New York was j
to prevent the diseaso being brought i
into tho State.
New Ohleanb, Sept. 4 —Tho fever
at Greenville, Mississippi, continues
spreading rapidly. Seventy-five cas-
es aro reported thoie and fourteen
deaths. Twenty-six cases and six
deaths are reported at Delhi, I At

aid.
Cincinnati, Sept. 4.—Tlio health
offioer senl throo physicians, one
druggist and two nurses to Memphis.
Tho relief committee liavo decided
to send immediately 8600 worth of
supplies to Memphis, 8500 worth to
Vicksburg, 8200 worth to Port Gib
son, and fifty blankets to Grenada.
Nashville, Tonn., Sept. 4.— A
specinl from Brownsvillo, Tonn ,
says: “Today lias been a biuoono.
Thirteen now cases and four deaths.
The : fever ainaeks nativos and
visitors alike. The Howards with
tho aid of tho city authorities have
to bury the tlie dead thomselves.
Tho town is deserted all stores
pay that nolo?” Harrs said,
“How many Ins do you claim 7”
Pointer replied, “CIO.” “I cun only
pay you for 605” sntd Harris.
“Then,” said Pointer, “I say y,,u aro
a G—d d—ti little thief,” Harris
immediately struck him with ins
fist. Pointer said, “That is
enough,” or something similar,
and at that moment Obenchum
drew liis pistol and fired upon Dr.
Caider, who had said nothing unit
was quietly standing at Harris'side.
Caider instantly fell to the ground
and while lying there, Obenebain
and Rosser both fired a number of
shots at him. Though latally woun-
ded, tiio Doctor raised upon Ins
elbow and drew his revolver, but
bo seemed to have been in n d)ing
condition at the time and the pis-
tol was discharged in an aimless
manner, the ball passing through a
glass door near by. At this mo-
ment Oberu hain stepped off the sido-
walk and deliberately shot tlie. pros-

Dr. J. W. Cal*ler, Manager of

Down in Colt! Iilootl.
Three Prominent Citizens of
Dallas 1 liefMurderers.
From the Dallas Commercial.]
Again we aro called upon to
chronicle ono of those bloody deeds
which curdle the blood of commu-
nities and startlo tbo whole Slate.
Citizens occupying prominent post-;
tions in Dallas have suddenly in an
evil hour made themselves red-
handed murderers, and their haled
victim lies cold and motionless in
the embrace of death.
Tho feud existing between tho
factions of tlie Dallas and Wichita
railroad are well known to the com-
munity and tho people of the sur-
rounding country. Tho fight for
possession of the road has been most
persistent and biltor. Tho final vic-
tory of the Caider faction through a
decree of tho United States circuit
court appointing Ira Harris roceivcr
of the road, enraged the opposing
faction beyond till measure.
But still it was not beliovcd that
they would uttempt any other tac-
tics than such as.are usually resorted
to by slirowd men of this class. But
tho city was suddenly startled this
morning by the fatal crack of a pis-
tol, which told that in their despera-
tion they had determined on a
bloody deed of violence as their on-
ly hope of success.
Tlie account of tho tragedy as
gathered front eye-witnesses, is as J
When wo arrived at the scone of
the tragedy wo found the body of
tbo murdered man in the vacant
building in fiont of which the shoot-
ing oceured. The spectacle waslho
most bloody and ghastly that wo
have ever seen. Tbo body was
punctured from head to foot with
bullets and tho warm life-blood was
slowly oozing from tho purple
wounds. In tlie right temple was a
small btlo made by a ball which
had goito crashing through tlie brain
and cnino out on the other side just
abovo tlie sternum, and a little to
the right was another fatal mark.
In the-, pit of the sloma^li was Mill
another. This,it is thought, was tho
first shot, and would undoubtedly
have proven fatal. In tho right hip
wore two wounds, and in I bo right
limb, just below the knee, was a
ghastly wound, from which (ho
blood was flowing freely. Thus It
is soon that no less than six bullets
had entered tho body.
Tho spectacle was ono which sick-
ened the. heart and made men fierce-
ly exclaim, “In what times do wo
live that such bloody doods can thus
bo perpetrated in tbo open light of
day and in the face ot the multi-
tude.” __
