«r of Mn. W. W. Guldens, died at the
family resuiencs eight miles east
Clarksville last Friday, of paralysis.
She was past 79 yean old, and hac
long been so feeble her death was not
unexpected. The remains were inter-

makes his decease the more lamenta-

man, but was justly popular with those
who knew him. The deceased was
brother to Mrs. A. S. McAnear ana
Preston Blanton, and had other rela-
tives among the best and most pro mi

About 6 o’clock Monday afternoon
Justice Stanley was notified of the kill-
ing of Dr. David Hudson, by the cars
near the depot at Annona. A train
was sent up to convey Justice Stanley
to the scene of the accident, and he
went down and held an inquest Mon-
day night, returning home near mid
night. Dr. Hudson had been in the
city all day Monday, leaving on the
evening train for his home near Anno-
na. - He had been drinking heavily,
and arriving at Annona left the car
and started down the track in an eas
terly direction. His horse was at the
station, and his going in the opposite
direction from his horse, is accounted
for by the fact that he was under the
influence of liquor. The deceased was
evidently lying down on the track
when the train approached, as the Al-
lowing testimony taken by Justice
Stanley at the inquest, will show:
W. W. Lawson, witness for the
state, being sworn, says: “My name
is W. \V. Lawson. I was acquainted
with Dr. David Hudson. He is dead.
He died about 7 o’clock p. m. of this
day, November 25, 1889. He was
killed by the engine and cars of the
Texas and Pacific railway company.
I suppose his age to be about 60
years, about five feet and eight inches
high, light complexion. This occurred
in Red River county, Texas.

J. A. Hall; witness for the state, be-
ing sworn, says: “My name is J. A.

Monday, November 25,1889. He was
rilled by the engine and cars Of the
Texas and Pacific Railway Company.
When I first saw the deceased after his
death his body from the waist down
was lying on the track between the
ritils nnder the can. The remainder
of his body from the waist up was ly
ing south of the track about two or
three feet This occurred in Red

A Mysterious Death.
Some two or three weeks ago
young man named Bryant, living on
the river in the neighborhood of Pine
Bluff, mysteriously disapj eared. The
last seen of him he was taken at night
in a drunken condition from Bococks
general grocery store at the mouth of
Pine Creek on Red River, by parties
who claim to have put him in a boat,
which he had fastened at the landing.
Next morning he had disappeared, and
nothing being heard from him, it was by
some through he liod been robbed and
murdered. Rut later liis body was
dragged from the 1 ottom of Red River,
and in the pockets of liis clothing was
found $185. This dialled the theory
of being robbed, bnt still it was believ-
ed by some that he had been murder-
ed. His father was acquainted with
the circumstances of his death, and
came out from Hickman, Kentucky, to
investigate them, .and was in Clarks-
ville the first part of the week. Suspi-
ciop attaches to the parties last seen
with Bryant, not because he had money
and might have been robbed, bat be-
cause the suspects claim he had taken
from the landing just above the scane
of his death a boat belonging to them,
and attaching it to his own, was carry-
ing it with him down the river. These
parties had followed him on horse back
from Diamond store, on the river in
Lamar county, (the place where he
had taken the boat) down to Pine
Bluff, in Red River. They recovered
their boat, and, while they claim to
have pat Bryant in his boat aud left
him for the night, the suspicious cir-
cumstances of las death are considered
sufficient to warrant the arrest of the
Lamar county men. Accordingly
Sheriff Dodd and posse went into
Lamarlast week and arrested Gus
Diamond, Charley Martiudale, Bob
McClellan, Mac Diamond and Tom
Halcomb, (col.) and lodged them in
jail in this city, where they are now
bald to await the action of the grand
jury. The character of the evidenoe
against the prisoners is not known,
uor is it possible at this time to say if
a bill will be found against them, bnt
if guilty of taking the life of a solitary
and inebriated man they should be
punished, and the present grand jury
is composed of men as capable to se-
cure ard decide upon evidence, as can
ie found.

it is tlie only complete And authen-
tic beok on the subject, brimful of
hitherto unpublished facts sud con-
tains documents never before given to
the world. Profusely illustrated with
original n d finely executed engrav-
ings of the principal actors aud scene*
in the tragedy; in addition a view of
the court room during the progress of
the trial: of the weapons with which
the unfortunate physician met his

tb it he expects prices to remain low
ir’til after Christmas, when he believes
they will again go up. The Public
Weigher, Mr. J. M. HubbariJ^and by
tlie way, a gentleman whose opinion
on any subject is good—says he thinks
she weekly receipts will steadily dimin-’
ish from this to the end of the season.
This fact will not, however, prevent
Clarksville showing a very creditable
number of bales received during the
season. And it makes a companion
advertisement for the town to go along
with the comparatively superior prices
paid here.
Pay tipi
There is a large amount of money
due us, and much of it past due, which
we must have. We are not disposed
to put our debtors to the expense of a
forced collection, and if it were possir
ble to meet the heavy obligations we
have assumed without it, would not
trouble them at all. Bnt we have
heavy debts pressing us, aud our main
dependence for meeting them is collec-
tions of what is due, and therefore must
have money, either by kind request or
by forced collection.

Iron and Cinchona.
Perhaps the best preparation of iron
tonic in the world is Goldberg’s Elixir
of Iron and Cinchona. Pleasant to
taste, remarkable in recuperative and
strengthening effect upon the system-,
and comparatively cheap. Nothing
like the effect it produces can be had
from the use of any other preparation.
When in need of a tonic don’t fail to
give iv a trial. Prepared and sold, by
L. H. Goldberg.
