Yesterday a Negro named Ed Sayles, at Edna, had in the express office at the depot a pair of pants that had been shipped subject to inspection. Mr. Williams, the agent, and a former Victorian, allowed him the privilege of fitting them on . The Negro did not have the necessary amount, and went away, saying he would get it. It seems the package did not come in the Negro's name, and the man in whose name it came accompanied him on the visit today. The man signed the book and told Sayles to pay. Sayles wanted to try the pants on. Williams said he did not have time for all the foolishness, and that Sayles had had them on once. Sayles gave him some back talk, and Williams threw an ink bottle at him and told him to quit the premises. Thinking that Sayles would return, he sent his porter after his pistol, and placed it in the drawer. Williams went home without the pistol. when he reached Lutz's saloon he went in, and some parties told him the Negro had been looking for him, and was armed. He sent the porter back to get the pistol, and later went home. About 7 o'clock he came down town again and met the Negro, who renewed the controversy on the street, and while Williams talked to him he had his arms folded. The Negro threw his hand back apparently to make Williams think him _____. Williams told him to stop chewing the rag, that he was tired of it and that he had no regrets for what he had done at the depot and wanted to hear no more of it. Thinking there was no danger further to be feared from the Negro, he turned his back and started off. In a moment he heard someone say "don't Ed," and turned to find Sayles almost up against him, pistol in hand. Williams grabbed the Negro's pistol with his left hand and with his right hand drew his own pistol from his pocket and the encounter was a hand to hand affair. The Negro's pistol was discharged in Williams hand which is scarred and powder burned. Williams held the Negro's pistol when the Negro fell and carried it just as he held it to Mr. Lutz. It was found to have three empty chamber. Williams had shot five times and it is said a Negro standing off some distance also fired a shot at Williams taking his pistol in both hands and aiming deliberately. Williams gave himself up and spent the night in the jail. This morning he was given an examining trial and placed under $500 bond, which he at once gave.

Bruce Lad Sulak of Ganado was called home on Tuesday, Jan. 2, 2018 at the age of 61. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 28 years, Carol, and their children Casey Sulak and Shelby Hurt. He will also be remembered by his seven grandchildren, Avery Sulak, Hunter Belle and Pippa Hurt, William, Nina, Benjamin, and Gabriel Sulak. He is also survive by his parents, lad and June Sulak. Bruce is preceded in death by his first wife, Mary Kay Konarik Sulak. A visitation and Rosary will be held Thursday, Jan. 4 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ganado Funeral Home Chapel. A funeral Mass will be celebrated Friday, Jan. 5 at 10 a.m. at Assumption Catholic Church with Father Kirby Hlavaty officiating. When given the news his illness was terminal, he didn’t resent having his life cut short. Rather, he expressed gratitude that he had been given such a full life. And what a full life he lived! He packed a lot of living into his 61 years here on Earth. Everything he did, he did passionately. In his younger years, he played hard and had the motorcycles, boats, cars, and scars to prove it. Bruce learned faith and love of family from his parents. Their love for him never wavered even though he tested their patience on more than a few occasions. Many of his infamous escapades resulted in “lively” supper table discussions. He spoiled his children rotten not only with material things but with the biggest gift of all time. As a Dad he was fully involved in any activity in which his children participated. With “passionate” advice and constant support he helped them be the best they could be. Bruce was not known to use flowery words of love and kindness. In fact, quite the opposite. But anyone who knew him, knew how much he loved his wife, Carol. Her patience was the perfect balance to his fiery passion. His greatest joys were his grandchildren. As a grandfather, he loved and supported unconditionally. He applauded at dance classes and cheered at ball games. He spent hours setting up barrels and dragging roping dummies. Pappy was the “driving force” behind Avery’s rodeo success, and he had the mileage and feed bill to prove it, and he loved every minute of it. Bruce did not want us to shed tears at his passing, but rather make the most of the time we are given here and life passionately until we are together once again. Bruce was able to express certain things he desired before he left with Jesus. Ultimately, he preferred rather than flowers on his behalf, that any generosity be made to his home church, The Assumption Catholic Church, P.O. Box 369, Ganado, TX 77962. Services have been entrusted to Russell Todish of Ganado Funeral Home, 361-771-2120.
