tim of the Gun of Sam Houston, aCook Who has eBen Here for NineMonths. Houston gave Himself upand ir. Now in Jail. Inquest HeldAfter the Killing.

Charley Johnson, the well knownnegro porter at the Elk saloon whowas familiarly knowa as "ChickenCharley" anil "Plymouth Rock Charley" for having been arrested a num-

ber of times for stealing chickens,was shot through the heart and almostinstantly killed at 7:25 last night bySam Houston, another negro. whoarrived last June from Ft. Worth andbus btH'ii employed as cook at variousplaoes. The shooting tccurred at therear door of the J. A. Clem boardinghouse on North Main, opposite thecourt house where Houston has beenemployed.

The trouble between the two dar-

kies has been brewing for severaldays. According to the statement of

'Houston it started last Thursdaynight, when Mrs. Johnson, wife ofthe deceased, accompanied him. (Hou-ston) ami Mrs. Albert Hubert, Hous-ton's landlady, to church. Houstonsays that at that time Johnson pulleda revolver on him and threatened hislife. Last Saturday Johnson was ar-

rested for this disturbance and wasfined by Justice Bailey." the fine andcost amounting to about eleven dol-

lars. Monday a warrant was Issuedfor his arrest charging him with carrying a gun, upon the statement of

Houston. He was arrested on thiswarrant yesterday and gave bond forhis appearance today.

I.ast night Johnson went to theClem boarding house, where Houstonwas employed and called him to theback door. He asked to talk withHouston and Houston said he wasbusy. Johnson said, "Well I can talkto you here. Why did you nave me ar-

rested for carrying a gun, when Ihaven't had a gun at all?" Then ac-

cording to Houston's statement, John-son told him not to leave the Clemhouse that night or he would kill him.Their wrangle continued until Mr. andMrs. Clem came out to see what wasthe trouble. Houston became excitedand started to go after an officer. Hereturned from the front part of thehouse and while Mr. and Mrs. Clemwere standing on either side, talkingto Johnson, who was just outside thedoor, Houston fired between theirshoulders, hitting Johnson in thebearL Johnson turned without a wordor shout and ran with all his might toward the back of the house. The in-

mates of the house did not think hewas hit. Mr. and Mrs. Clem tried todrive Houston away, but he refusedto leave.saylng that he was afraidJohnson would kill him. Finally Mr.Phillips, one of the boarders, phonedfor an officer and Marshal WalterRay came and locked Houston in fliejail, Houston having expressed a de-

sire to give himself up.Officer Ray and others searched for

Johnson back of the Clem house, butdid not make a detailed hunt, as itwas not thought he was hit, and didnot find him. Probably an hour laterF. J. Peeler, who lives near, went tothe well back of the .Clem house af-

ter a bucket of water and btumbledover the body of Johnson. He had runabout one hundred feet after beingshot through the heart. When theofficials started to move the remainsto the Ullery morgue, two dogs thatbad been fed aad petted by Johnson

Note: In the above table eachteacher in a system of graded schoolsis counted as a school.

The average number of days theschools of the whole Territory werekept open is 114. This Includes boththe rural and the graded town andcity schools. The latter are sustainedabout 60 to 70 days. Hence the aver-age of 114 days improves the realshowing of the rural schools and de-

tracts from that of the city schools.A similar difference exists in regardto salaries.

The important question is: How canwe give to rural schools advantagesequal to those of the city.
