The man who gave his name as G--- W, --- and who stole two horses
in Denison and brought them to Sherman, selling one of them and making
his escape from the sheriff's office after Deputy Sheriff Henry DeSpain
had arrested him on suspicion is dead. He met his death last night
after he had taken three or four shots at the officers who were trying
to arrest him. The officers who got him

Strike At Denison Ice Firm Leads To Beatings of Four
Denison - The men employed on the wagons of the Diamond Ice Company
are on a strike. As a result other men put on the wagons were treated
so roughly by the strikers and their sympathizers that the wagons were
called in before they had completed half a day's work today.
The ice company reports four men beaten more or less painfully and
several alley fights and hurried scrimmages were pulled off in various
parts of the city within the space of a few minutes this forenoon.
When they asked for an increase of 25 cents per day for both the
drivers and the slingers, the company refused to grant an increase to the
slingers but proposed to give the drivers an increase of 50 cents per day,
making them $75 per month, while the slingers would be compelled to continue
work for from 35 cents to $1.00 per day and for 11 to 14 hours.
