WHY THE DAMP WAS MOVED.
Several weeks ago it was announced by
the commissioners court, then in session
at Sherman, that the county convict gang
would be allowed to remain in the vicini-
ty of Denison until the highway leading
west to Pottsboro was in good condition
to the precinct line; and then the gang
was to be transferred to Whitesboro, and
beginning An the Cooke county line the
same road was to be worked east to a
connection with the work out of Deni-
son. About one mile ot the work was
finished when the camp was ordered bv
the court removed to Whitesboro. The
agreement was made with Commissioner
Haven in good faith and it is supposed
by many that the sudden removal was, in
some way, due to Mr. Haven. Such,
however, is not the case. The order of
the court was made and executed on our
commissioner's positive protest. The
order ot removal reads as follows:
Aprils Special Term Commissioner
Court, Merman, Tex.
Order ok Coi rt: y
Ordered by the court that the county
judge Is hereby directed to order "the
superintendent of the county convictsito
move with the convicts on Saturday, the
25th day of April, A. D. 1891, to Whites-
boro, and report to Ed Sanders, couuty
commissioner ot precinct No. 3, of Gray-
son county, and that said Sanders be re-
quested to direct the superintendent
where and at what place to work. And
that the said Sanders be, and he is here-
by empowered, to have all repairs made
on all tools used by the convicts, and _to
act for the court in the management and
directing the work of said convicts, and
the purchase of suclir things as in his
opinion may be necessary to carry on
said work until further ordered. Said
superintendent is hereby directed to re-
port to said Sanders on Monday, the .:7th
day ot April, 1891.

NEGRO PUGILI8T8.
Saturday night about 100 men- and
boys of every shade, caste and calling,
principally negroes, gathered in a hall up
stairs on West Main street to witness a
glove contest between Walter Giles, a
home thumper, and Lon Bennett, a
traveling professional,, who points with
pride atul exultation to the "Prof." which
he usually places before his name. Hand-
bills, announcing the engagement, were
distributed over the city Saturday after-
noon and evidently the'Prof, expected a
big crowd. , Time was called and the
fight began. Six rounds were (ought
when the Prof, asked that time be called
and the fight awarded to Giles, who, by
this time, was trembling Ike a reed
shaken by the wind and bleeding like a
slaughtei%j hog. In fact, Giles was like
a lamb, dumb before its shearer, and a
more pittiful looking object is rarely
seen. When he was declared winner he
shouted for joy, and the crowd roared
wltn laughter. The police was on to the
tun, however, and both Giles and the
professor were as innocent as turtle doves
when the officers intormed them that
Jailer Bales had prepared for them a nice
warm bath and bed. Bond was furnished
and Monday morning they were fined $5
and cost, each, for disturbing the peace
and dignity of the city of Denison. In
passing sentence Judge Hause remarked:
"You boys must understand that Denison
is a law-abiding city and that a nice large
rock pile is ever ready and waiting tor
men who pound one another up like
brutes^ If you want to fight and must
fight, even for tun and nvonev, you must
get out ot Denison to do it "

Rio Grande City, where they will cross
the river into Mexico and effect a junc-
tion With the Monterey and Tampico rail-
way at Linares, Mexico, thus controlling
all of the trade of the southeastern por-
tion of the republic. President Lott has
been in New York for some time en
deavoring to effect. a reorganization of
the San Antonio & Aransas Pas6 and to
take it out of the hands of the receivers
He has succeeded, but the surveyors were
in the field betore reorganization was se-
cured. The intention of the road to
enter upon Mexico has been an open

will result in vastly increasing the amount
of Mexican exports to this country, as it
will open up a tremendous stretch of

holders in May, but they had been un-
able to perfect all arrangements tor the

Tuesday evening, May 19, at the Mc-
Dougall opera house a second rendition
of the Destrick Skool will be given by a
large class of well-known Denison ladies
and gentlemen. On its former production
the house was literally packed and a more
laughable farce was never given betore a
Denison audience. The play Tuesday
night will be equally as good it not better
than the one mentioned, and as the ad-
mittance will be only 50 cents, with no
extra charge for reserved seats, it is more
than probable that the attendance will be
limited only by the capacity of the build-
ing. Among the gentlemen who are to
appeai on the stage, but whose names
are not on the program, are the follow-
ing- H. Tone, Billy Bostwick, Bertie
Person, Frank Robinsnn, Josie Maxwell,

Tuesday morning, immediately after
midnight, officers Preston and Tracy,
who were making a round of the busi-
ness portion of the Cit y, were attracted
to block 400 on Main street by the fierce
barking of a dog in the Brunett grocery
store. Just before reaching the building
a man was seen to jump through the
glass of one ot the front windows and to
start at full speed across the street, A
summons to halt from the officers, em-
phasized with drawn pistols, was quickly
obeyed and the-man was found to be W.
M. Hinkle, an engineer who had been
running a switch engine for the Central
in this city many months. Hinkle stated
that he had given Mr. Brunett a power ot
attorney to collect his wages and that
having been discharged he was desirous
of drawing his money himself as he had
other debts to "meet which he telt were
more urgent than that to Mr. Brunett.
Tuesday morning he,was taken- betore
Justice Hughes and in default of a $750
bail was remanded to prison to await the
action of the grand jury.
There's a patent medicine which is not

may sound. It's a discovery the goldt n
discovery of medical science ! It's the
medicine for you—tired, run-down, ex-
hausted, nerve-wasted men and women
for you sufferers trom diseases of skin or
scalp, liver or lungs—its chance is with
every one, its season always, because it
aims to purity the" fountain ot lite—the
blood—upon which all such diseases de-
pend. The medicine is Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The makers
of k have enough confidence in it to sell
it oh trial. That is—you can get it from
your druggist, and if it doesn't do what
it's claimed to do, you can get your
money back, every cent ot it. ,
That's what its makers call taking the
risk of their words.

Peterson's magazine.
The June Peterson is as bright as the
month which it ushers in. This general
favorite of halt a' century deservedly gains
each year a deeper hold on the leading
public. This number opens with two
beautiful engravings, a double colored
fashion plate and attractive needle work
designs. "In Hereford and Huntingdon,"
by Harriet Latham, is an instructive
sketch ot noted English shires, and is
well illustrated. "A Complete Cure,"
by E C. Creighton, is a first-class story.
The history ot the tulip and the craze of
tulips which once nearly ruined Holland,
is delightfully told, and the long series of
illustrations renders it still more interest
ing. There are two novelets and numer-
ous good short stories and poems. Aunt
Hannah's Receipt Book, is a record of
quaint old recipes and prescriptions,
some of which date back to the days of
the Tudors, The number contains mat-
ter to appeal to the most varied tastes,
and as it closes the voluSie, ought to be
examined by all persons on the lookout
for a thoroughly reliable and superior
family Magazine. Terms $2 a vear. $t
