"WRITES INTERESTINGLY ABOUT
TEXAS AND THE COTTON CROP.
In Private Letter to a Friend Here.
Mr. W. L. Murphy, now a prominent
banker and business man of Mexla,
Texas, In a letter to Dr. H. W. Lilly,
of thla city, says in parti ,v
Now about the cotton crop In Texaa
it I exceedingly spotted. In North
Texas and Northwest Texaa up In the
pan-handle country, the crops are pret
ty good. East Texaa has a fair crop.
Central Texas haa a poor crop, a
well a South Texas, and a very poor
crop In S, W, Texas. In West Texas
on the Tex and Pacific and on the
Santa Fee Railroads the crop la ex
tremely light owing to a long excessive
drought I believe on the whole Tex
as will make more cotton than last
year, hut nothing like the year before.
Two years ago we had a 4-mlUion-bale
crop In round numbers, . About ),
(00,000 last year, and we may posaf-
bly reach 3 million bales the present
son. it depends upon the rains
iron now on. . We are needing rain
badly In thla section of the State.
Four weeks ago It looked as It we
were going to make a bumper crop
of cotton, but the extremely hot weath
er and lack of rain coupled with boll
worms, has changed the outlook very
materially. , - , ,
The price Is Immense, however, and
this "covers a multitude of sin." you
know. ; .-h-.:....V- :;iv:-;
Texas can raise your hopes higher,
id In short order, drop you harder
than any State in the Union. And it
also can promise lesa at times and in
the end do more than any country I
ever saw. It Is a wonderful State,
but everything' comes by extremes.
Somehow, when a fellow stays in Tex
aa awhile he will not he willing to live'
any where else. It Is said that after
you cross west of the Mississippi river
and take a drink of water, that you
will never, willingly live east of the
river again. However, If I was a rich
man I believe 1 would go east to spend
the remainder of, my days.': It Is a

IRO DOG DROWNS A BULL PUP.
Better' Intelligence Wins Fisrc Fight
A telegram from Newton, Mass.,
ays:
A battle for life between
bulldog and an insn seuer,
which terminated In - the setter
dragging the bulldog Into the river and
holding hlra under water until he was
drowned, was witnessed bya number'
of persons on the banks of the Charles
River, near Koberts Point, today.
Attacked the Setter.
The setter dog Is owned by a man
who was one of a party that was pic
nicking this afternoon on the river
side near Roberta, Point The dog, a
handsome and Intelligent animal, was
lying on the ground near hi master,
when a large bulldog sprang from the
bushes and pounced upon the setter,
In an Instant the canines were fight
ing furiously, and the men and young
women, who had been seated on the
grass, were thrown Into confusion. Ev
ery effort was made to separate the
two animals but without success.
The bull' teetn were burled deep in
the neck of the setter and his Jaws
were closed In a glrp that he was pre
pared to hold until the bird-dog fell In
the throes of death. There were no
large stones nor tree limbs about with
which ..the men of the party might
club the dogs apart, and although the
owner of the setter occasionally man
aged to kick the bull on the body with
his shoe, the Impact of the leather
seemed only to Increase the determin
ation of the dog to hold hi grip un
til he killed his opponent : '
For a second the setter stopped
fighting, and as it seized with an in
spiration began to drag himself toward
the river. With the buU hanging to
his throat In a death grip the feat was
no easy one.
He finally reached the , brink and
both dogs toppled over Into the river
and disappeared from view. For a
short time nothing was seen of either.
Then the head of the bull was observ
ed appearing above the surface sev
eral feet from shore, v . '
The bull immediately attempted to
swim . to shore, but he had scarcely
moved ahead when the setter appear
ed close by his bead, seized him by tne
throat and bore him beneath the wat
er .',': ''' '.' ' ' '
To the anxious watchers on shore it
seemed .minutes before the head of
the setter was seen to arise from the
stream. . Bleeding and exhausted the
dog swam ashore, freed ot the death
grip ot the bull, who would no more
attack strange dogs, for be was dead
drowned by . the setter. ; ;
