Wreck Sunday Night
Another freight train was wrecked a the curve below town Sunday Night, about nine cars of lumber being derailed, and all traffic blocked for several hours. Foratunately no one was hurt. This is one fo the worst places on the Santa Fe road in Texas, and there has been a number of wrecks there in the past ten years, costing the road perhaps much more that it would to straighten the curve and take out the grade. It seems fortunate, however, that no one has been hurt at this place.

Killing in Brazos Bottom
A shooting occurred at Parker's upper store in the bottom Saturday night between two negroes, Israel Lawrence killing Joe Wyatt with a six-shooter. The trouble occurred over a difference of about one dollar in a poker game.

Lawrence was placed under bond Sunday at Tunis, and the grand jury has returned an indictment and he is now in jail, the case being set for Monday of next week.
