The Pilot Point Homicide*:
The last issue of the Sherman Daily
Register makes several corrections In the
account of the homicides at Pilot Point,
published in that paper and transferred
to the columns of the News. We make
the following **tracts:
Flippin lired the first shot at Mark-
ham, wounding liiin slightly on the right
side of the neck. Markham returned the
tire, killing Flippin the first shot. Flip-
pin was struck about the center of the
breast and fell dead. As to the shooting
of Harrison the evidence is not clear.
Other shots wee fired in rapid auCcess-
: ion, however, anti Harrison was shot
through the chin, the ball ranging down-
ward, and after passing through the chin
entered the neck, and still ranging down-
ward is thought to have lodged against
the spinal column about the middle! of
the back. Harrison was not dc’itd when
our informant left Pilot Point, but there
was little hope of his recovery.
The opinion prevails that in the shoot-
ing of Flippin, Markham acted in self-
deience. As to the shooting of Harrison,
public opinion is divided.
it seems that the old Merchant anil
White feud had nothing to do with the
difficulty, and our informant assures us
that the ugly matter l as been completely
adjusted between all tiie parties con-
cerned.
Young Markham is from Kentucky,
and has been in Pilot Point only a week
or two s Biting the family of Mr. Posty.
The Flippin killed was not the same one
who was with Di. White at the time of
his assassination, but was a young man
not more than seventeen vears of age.
The cause of the difficulty is not known.
Flippin and Harrison were both mere
boys.

We yesterday received a letter from the
agent of the Louie Lord Combination,
who informs us that his troup will now
visit 011 rcity and give several entertain-
ments at Nolan’s hall. Their repertoire
of plays consists of all the modern society
plays, including the well known comedy
of “Our Boys.” We clip the following
from tiie Kansas Independent:
“Last evening’s entertainment ronsist-
cdofthe superb comedy entitled “Our
Boys,” a play which has had a splendid
reception in all large cities where pro-
duced. It was put upon the stage last
nigh1, with full properties and elegant
costumes, and each character was most
ably sustained. Louie Lord, as Mary
Melrose, the natural, buoyant girl of
povertv, but luck, acted in the most ap-
proved style of the character she assumed
and was warmly applauded for the hits
she so innocently made. Lord, himself,
in the character of the plain jovial, Per-
kj n Middlewick, was actually himself,
Bolstering, big hearted, honest and stub-
born, lie centered much ot the interest of
the play upon his character. SirChamp-
neys and Violet Melrose, cnaracters sus-
tained by Mr. and Mrs. Seymour, were
much admired. Both possessing ease,
grace and a thorough comprehension of
what they were doing Mr. Sey mo ni-
l's an actor of decided ta'ent, and Mrs.
Seyn our will bear the same compliment.
Our boys, Talbot and Charles, were just
fine. In fact we believe that they could
not be improved upon. “Talbot,” espe-
cially, by Cotton, was just immense.
We have witnessed this play in eastern
cities, anti we unhesitatingly say that
Mr. Cotton’s impersonation of the lan-
guid, insipid, fop and scion of the first
blood, cannot be excelled.

1 - 5 - tf Mrs. M. A Butts.
It was reported on the itreets Friday
evening that one of the most zealous
Spiritualists in Denison had been caught
in an attempt to humbug his friends with
bogus spirit rappings, and that the ex-
pose was to appear in the evening Cres-
set- This of course awakened a good
deal of curiosity to see the paper. The
public were not disappointed. Under
startling head-lines the circumstances
are dished up in a style thrillingly inter
esting. The names are not given but
the pen pictures of the exposer and ex-
posee are true to life.
The “medium,” whom the Cresset
calls Mr. A. (which is within one of it)
has, it appears, been in the habit of in-
viting young men to share his bachelor
couch with him to witness the “manifes-
tations.” Parties who have been there
say the bed would shake, after the light
was extinguished, and that muffled raps
were heard. Many were astonished, but
it remained for a Mr. C. (we believe he
writes it thus, D.) to capture the spirit,
which report says is a long string with a
small block of wood at the end of it.
The arrangement of this contrivance
will be better understood by ocular in-
spection when manipulated by an expert,
and as it is now on exhibition at the
Cresset editorial rooms, we advise our
readers to call and see it. As it “works"
equally as well now in the light as in
darkness, and is not at all effected by
want of “congeniality” or “adverse mag-
netism,” no one need stay away from a
fear of destroying the “conditions.”

Holloway’s Ointment.
Sore legs, wounds, ulcers, etc., can be

cated by nature, is to reduce the local in-
flammation, soothe the neighboring
nerves, cool the heated blood, and render
the watery ichorous discharge consistent
and healthy. Happily, Holloway’s Oint-
ment accomplishes these ends with un-
failing certainty. 25 cents per box or

The Merry Day* of Old.
In reading of the middle ages one is
struck by the accounts given of feats of
strength, etc., of the life actors of those
times. The suits ot armor worn would
certainly indicate the possession of
greater physical strength than is devel-
oped by men in these latter days. What
wrought the change? Men lived in the
merry days a more out-door life than
tnis advanced civilization ot ours can af-
ford. There is a greater consumption of
brain matter, and that increased demand
on mental and phi sical power necessi-
tates the use ot a pure vegetable, stimu-
lant tonic, 6uch as the Home Stomach
Bitters. 1-1 dwitr.o.

Regular Secretion Fsnonllal to Health.
The regular secretion and flow of the
gastric juices, and of the bile which the
use of llostetter’s Stomach Bitters pi o-
motes, ure effects which conduce materi-
ally to the restoration of health, when
the system is disordered. Food is not
digested in the dyspeptic stomach be-
cause the gastric fluid is deficient, supera-
bundant or vitiated ; the liver becomes
conjested and the bowels constipated be-
cause the supply of bile is inadequate or
misdirected. The bitters rectifies all
this, .and removes every ill consequence
of non-assimilation and bilious irregular-
ity. Furthermore, it stimulates the ac-
tion of the kidneys, by which impurities
are, so to speak, strained from the blood,
and any tendency in the urinary organs
to grow sluggish and disordered counter-
acted. Whether it be used as a means of
regulating gastric or bilious secretion,
and relieving the overloaded bowels, or
to promote complete, and therefore
healthful urination, 1 lostetter’s Bitters
may be relied upon with confidence to
accomplish the end in view.

A Card to tho Public.
For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a vast
class of sufferers. Thousands of cures
have been made by them, and, in fact,
the word failure could not be coupled
with them. But within the last two
years counterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their dose imi-
tation of our Trade Mark. To secure the
people we have placed upon each genu-
ine box of Holloway’s Ointment the fac
simile of the signature of our agent, Mr.
los. Ilaydock. To counterfeit is felony.
We shall relentlessly pursue any one who
imitates this with the utmost vigor of
the law. We most earnestly beg that the

health, and help us in our task of bring-
