KELLEY LEFT OFF AT HIS OWN REQUEST.

Texas Lawyers Suffer « a Fatal Fusillade From Infuriated Litigant. At Dallas, Texas, during a preliminary trial for the custody of the children in the divorce case of Keller agt. Keller Friday, Alexender Pope was shot and mortally wounded, W. H. Pope was painfully but not dangerously wounded in two places, and James Turner ightly wounded. Those shot were counsel for Mrs, Keller and those who did the shooting were W. T. 8. Keller, the defendant in the case, and his brother-in-law, C. R. Weathersby. The difficulty was brought on by Keller denouncing as false a statement made by W. H. Pope to the effect that Keller had practiced a fraud in a similar trial before Judge Haezelwood in De- cember. 1888. When Keller said ‘It is false!” W. H. Pope threw a gold-headed cane at him, Then Weathersby. who was sitting in front of Pope, arose and fired two shots, one of which passed through W.H. Pope's left shoulder. All the shooting was done by Keller and Weath- ersby, as none of the caners were armed. Alex- ander Pope is a member of the legislature. W. H. Pope is state senator and, like Alexander, is widely known for his brilliancy as a lawyer. James Turner isa prominent attorney. W.'T. 8. Keller is ex-judge of this county. He now re- Jes at San Angelo, Texas, where he edits the Enterprise, and practices law. R. Weath- is a night watchman for the Texas and > railroad, Alexander Pope leaves a wife and two children, Keller claims that he shot in self defense, as the Popes were advancing onhim. Weathersby says he shot because he thought Keller had been killed. tee BASE BALL JOTTINGS. Postmaster Van Cott President of the Players’ League—Contracts. W. A.

Proctor’s Action About the Flag is Approved by Southerners. The New Orleans Picayune, commenting on the failure of Secretary Proctor to take official notice of the death of Mr, Davis, says: “We are strongly led to the conclusion that the Secre- tary of War, so far from intending wrong, has adopted what be believed. and what we believe, was a wise and conservative course in the prem- 5 ises, ‘The city officials say that under the peculiar circumstances of the case Secretary Proctor’s reply to Mayor Shakespeare's dispateb officially fu! and written in a kindly spiri’ the confederate veterans are muca pleased with the fraternal spirit which characterized the remark of Capt. Jacob Gray of the Grand Army of the Republic made before the exceu- tive committee last Saturday night. On that oecasion he stated that he would be proud, as asoldier of the United States, to honor the memory of the illustrious patriot. soldier and statesman of the south, He could not forget that Jefferson Davis had been also a soldier of the United States, who had rendered distin- guished s or fail to recognize that he was a great and pure man. Jefferson Davis should, as a gallant soldier, be accorded a soldier's burial, with every show of the pro- foundest respect and love of his people. “If it is agreed,” continued Capt, Gray,"that the body of the dead cheiftan shall be borne into the cemetery upon the shoulders of the old veterans, I, ax a representative of the Grand Army of the Republic, shall certainly demand to have the right to assist in the performance of that sad, honorable duty.” It is learned that all the army officers, while they cannot take any official action in regard tothe death of Mr. Davis, have great respect for him asa soldier and a statesman, and will attend the funeral, A meeting of soathern editors has been called in New Orleans for Wednesday, in order to settle upon plans for furthering the movement for a monument to the deceased, In re vouse to a telegram from Gen.
