Bryant, Texarkana Inter- state Normal und Business College, shot aud fatally wounded Prof. Geo. T Ellis, a former teacher in the col just | lege, aud at present the principal in aschool of his own. The trouble grew out of rivalry, and it is known that Bryant has for some time been in correspondence with parties in other States, where Ellis previously lived, aad it is asserted, he had re ceived letters of a damaging charac- ter to Ellis. The two have had several angry quarrels withiu the last mouth. J.ast night Bryant, while riding down the street, saw Ellis sitting at Ragland’s book store, talking to al some geptlemen, and called to him, saying: “Come down to the Cosmo politan Hotel. I want to talk to you and show you some letters.” Ellis accepted the inyitation, but when they reached the hotel, Bryant pro- posed that they go outside the city limits and settle their differeuce by a fist fight. This invitation was also accepted, and they preceeded toa point near the Cotton Belt and Texas Pacific Railway crossing where they pulled off their coats and laid them down, preparing for the encounter. Ellis then, in his shirt sleeves, tura- ed his back to Bryant and said:“See, I am unarmed,” but as he turned around again, Bryant said: “I am armed and am going to shoot you.” Ellis suid, “You are a coward to talk of such a thing.” Bryant leveled the pistol which he was fleurishing and fired. The bullet struck Ellis in the center of the body, an inch above tne navel, and passed out at the back. Bryant escaped after the shooting, but was arrested near his home two hours later and breught into town.

The Oronogo Index, a Populist paper,has come out squarely for Hon. Chas. H. Morgan for congress. Tke| Index says: ‘Inu each and every in- stance, Mr. Morgan's vote has been in line with the principles of the | People’s party. “In view of that fact, and also in view of the fact, that the race in this campaign is between Mr. Morgan and Judge Burton, it behooves every true reformer to carefully examine the situation before casting his ballot. |The probability of Bigbee’s election ean not be taken into account. There is not the remotest chance f his Tho or : who contend differ- the deceive, election. guorant as to vor trying to are not safe lead ers. Morgan has made a record. He should be judged by that.
