IN MEMORY
OF DECEASED
_______
Dallas Bar Association
Took Action
This Morning.
_______
LATE M. C. CULLEN
_______
Eulogistic Speeches
Made by Attorneys.
Law Offices to Be Closed Satur-
day Afternoon.
Vice President
T. T. Holloway presided over the meeting of the Dallas Bar association,
which was held this morning in the Forty-fourth district court
room for the purpose of adopting suitable resolutions on the
death of the late M. C. Cullen, justice of the peace.
After these resolutions had been adopted, eulogistic speeches
were made by Col. R. B. Seay, J. C. Patton, Horace Williams and
Col. J. P. C. Whitehead.
The following four members of the
bar association were also appointed as committees of one to present
the resolutions to the various courts: Lee Richardson, Forty-fourth
district court; W. M. Holland, county court; Ed. T. Harrison,
criminal district court, and Horace Williams, Fourteenth district
court.
Resolutions Adopted.
The resolutions, as drawn up by
the committee, and which were adopted, were as follows:
"To the Hon. T. S. Holloway,
Chairman, of the Bar Association of Dallas, Texas: We, your committee,
appointed to draft suitable resolutions of respect to the memory
of Martin C. Cullen, deceased, a member of this bar, beg leave
to report as follows:
Mr. Cullen was born in Washington,
D. C., on the 16th day of May, 1850, of prominent and wealthy
parentage, was reared in luxury and highly educated. About the
time he arrived at maturity, misfortune overtook the family and
the young man, unused to work or hardship, was cast upon his
own resources. He was never known to murmur or complain, but
took up the harsh duties of life as if he were accustomed to
them. About the year 1884, he read law and was admitted to the
bar in Dallas. He has been connected with the bar from that time
until his death. Modest and unassuming by nature, he, at no time,
pressed himself to the front, but was never known to fail in
the performance of any duty incumbent upon him. On the 23d day
of January, 1889, he was married to Miss Minnie Evans of this
city, who survives him. There were born to him, six little girls,
four of whom survive him. The leading characteristic of our dead
brother was his unselfish devotion and love to his little family,
and his whole life was absorbed in looking after their interests.
He was a Christian gentleman, a member of the First Cumberland
Presbyterian church of this city, and was recognized as an unassuming,
but devoted, member of his church. At the election four years
ago, he was elected one of the justices of the peace of precinct
No. 1 in this county, which office he held at the time of his
death. It was while holding this office, that the characteristics
of the man became known to the public. He became endeared to
the bar because of his honesty and justice in all matters coming
before him. There seemed absolutely no doubt in the minds of
any, as to the perfect cleanliness and purity of his actions.
His place will be hard to fill as a citizen, a member of the
bar, and as an official. Much more could be said in favor of
his character, but this will suffice.
"Be it therefore resolved.
That in the death of our brother, Martin C. Cullen, this bar
has lost one of its strongest, truest and most spright members
and one whose career can well be taken as an example by our younger
brethren.
"Second. Dallas county has
lost one of her most honest, faithful and efficient officers.
"Third. The church has lost
one of its most consistent and lovable members, and society has
lost one of its most useful members.
"Fourth. But more than all,
his bereaved wife and daughters have suffered inseparable loss
in losing the devoted husband and father.
"Fifth. We tender his wife
and children and all his relatives our deepest sympathy and ask
that copies of these resolutions be furnished the family and
also furnished The Times Herald and Dallas News for publication.
Respectfully submitted.
"ROBT. B. SEAY,
"P. BARRY MILLER,
"ED S. LAUDERDALE,
"Committee"
After this
matter had been disposed of, W. M. Holland offered the following
self-explanatory resolution, which was also adopted, after some
little discussion.
"Whereas. The wholesale houses,
banks, real estate dealers and other lines of business in the
city of Dallas, now generally observe the Saturday half-holiday
during the summer months; and whereas, during the months of July
and August, the courts are closed; therefore, be it
"Resolved. by the Dallas Bar
association. That all members of the legal profession in the
city of Dallas be requested to close their offices during the
months of July and August on Saturdays at 1 o'clock.
"Be it further resolved that
The Times Herald and Dallas News be requested to publish these
resolutions"

KILLING IN
THE COUNTRY
______
Constable States
He Shot Man in
Self Defense.
______
BROUGHT TO CITY
______
J. L. Runnells Received
Wound in the
Head Yesterday Afternoon and
Died Early Today.
J. L. Runnells,
aged about thirty years, was shot by Constable M. Cory, and received
a wound, from which he died at 5 o'clock this morning. The shooting
occurred about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Three shots were
fired, one of which penetrated the man's head and produced a
wound, from which he never rallied. When Mr. Cory was seen by
a reporter this morning, shortly after he had been brought to
the city, he refused to make any lengthy statement for publication,
simply saying that he had a warrant for the arrest of Runnells,
on the charge of assault and battery, and that Runnells had threatened
to kill him if he tried to arrest him.
Near Seagoville.
Mr. Cory is constable of Precinct
No. 4, which precinct is in the southeast part of the county.
The shooting occurred about a mile from Seagoville, near which
town the deceased lived with his wife and three children. Sheriff
Ledbetter was notified of the shooting yesterday afternoon and
Deputy Sheriff James and Cables were detailed to make an investigation.
They returned this morning at 11 o'clock, accompanied by Constable
Cory. Shortly after the arrival in the city, Mr. Cory waived
examination before Justice of the Peace Lee and was admitted
to bail in the nominal sum of $500. The bond was signed by R.
P. Hull and F. M. Williams, two of Mr. Cory's neighbors, and
Mr. Cory was given his liberty.
Constable for Twelve Years.
Constable Cory has been a resident
of that section of Dallas county for thirty years, and has been
constable of Precinct No. 4 for twelve years. He regrets the
tragedy very much, but believes that he acted in self-defense.
Runnells lived about a mile from
Seagoville and was a laborer. At the time of the killing, he
was engaged in chopping cotton for a farmer in that vicinity.
He is survived by a wife and three children. The warrant for
Runnell's arrest, on the charge of assault and battery, was issued
out of the justice court in the precinct for which Mr. Cory is
constable. He stated that he had made three attempts to serve
the warrant on the deceased, but to avoid trouble, had not pushed
the matter.

MRS. WEAVER
DIED TODAY
______
Woman Prominent
in Civic Life
Passes Away at Family Home.
______
DEATH UNEXPECTED
_______
Mrs. John Clarence
Weaver Took an
Active Interest in Free Kindergarten
and Other Industrial Work.
The friends
and acquaintances of Mrs. John Clarence Weaver were shocked
this morning to hear of her death. While Mrs. Weaver had been
ill for some weeks, not seriously, nor of a serious ailment,
her death was in no wise expected, but blood poisoning ensuing
the end speedily came, and surrounded by her family and a number
of near friends, she passed peacefully away at 5:30 o'clock this
morning at the family home, 125 Maple avenue.
For some years past, Mrs. J. C.
Weaver had been most prominent and active in many works of charity
and of good to the needy, especially in free kindergarten work
for the help of children needing kindly aid, for their care and
their education, and for the help of working women in the city.
Partly through her efforts and liberality, the Neighborhood House
was established in North Dallas, where scores of children, who,
otherwise, would have been wandering waifs on the street, are
cared for and given the ground work of an education. The cooking
school for young women at this Neighborhood House and the Kindergarten
Normal for the education of kindergarten teachers, both owe much
to her fostering care and helpful direction.
Prominent in Civic Work.
As vice president of the Dallas
Free Kindergarten association, the endeavors of this splendid
work for the good and betterment of the classes in need, was
a labor of love with her and commanded her best ability and untiring
energy.
As president of the Dallas Federation
of Women's clubs, she was active, and most efficient in the work
of this Federation, not only as a whole, but gave equal interest
and effort in behalf of the individual clubs in their special
endeavors.
Helped to Get Police Matron.
Although ably seconded by her associates
and co-laborers, Mrs. Weaver, perhaps more than any other one
woman, is entitled to credit for securing a police matron for
the city.
Mrs. Weaver had her heart set on
the creation of a juvenile court for Dallas, where the gamins
of the street, the little stragglers of humanity, growing up
in the slums be taken for trial, or rather hearing, when charged
with offenses, and whence they might be sent to a proper place
for their care, for their bringing up indeed, that they might
not be sunk deeper in the ways of iniquity by contact with the
hardened criminals of the city or county prisons.
Mrs. Weaver, with her other manifold
labors for good and duties, was second vice president of the
Woman's Forum of this city, a director in the Humane and chairman
of the state committee on Free Kindergartens. In fact, her sphere
of activity, where there was chance, or even hope for good to
others, had no limit.
Came From Baltimore.
Mrs. Weaver was born and reared
in Baltimore, Maryland, her family being one of the old-time
and prominent families of that old Southern city. Her father
was, for many years, commissioner of public works of Baltimore.
She was a member of the Confederate States Army Chapter of Daughters
of the Confederacy of this city, and with her other numerous
labors and duties, never tired in helping old Confederates needing
help.
Death Unexpected.
Mrs. Weaver had been at St. Paul's
sanitarium for several weeks, and several days ago, her condition
had improved so much, that it was believed that she could be
taken to her home. Yesterday, there was a relapse and it was
feared that the end might be near. Efforts of the physicians
were of no avail, and the end came early this morning.
Besides the bereaved husband, Mrs.
Weaver also leaves six children, Mrs. W. H. McGrath, Misses Emina,
Sallie and Marie and Masters Albert and John, the latter, the
baby boy, five or six years of age. Miss Emma, the eldest, save
the married sister, just recently finished her education in Washington
City, the younger sisters attending school in this city. The
boys are too young yet for school.
Federation Meeting.
A special meeting of the Dallas
Federation of Women's clubs has been called for Friday morning
at 10 o'clock to take suitable action on the death of Mrs. Weaver.
Funeral Arrangements.
The funeral of Mrs. Weaver will
probably take place Sunday, the details to be arranged later.
Daughters of Confederacy Act.
At a called meeting of the Confederate
States Army, Daughters of the Confederacy, this morning resolution
of respect and affection, on the death of Mrs. J. C. Weaver were
adopted. Mrs. Weaver was the first associate member of this new
club and great sorrow was expressed at her death by members with
whom she worked.

[Editorial]
The death
of Mrs. J. C. Weaver removes from Dallas civic life, a
most useful woman, who had enlisted her services in the cause
of humanity. Mrs. Weaver was a most energetic worker for sweet
charity's sake and she took advantage of the field offered to
her in Dallas. The education of the children of the poor through
the instrumentality of the Dallas Free Kindergarten and Industrial
Association, and the appointment of a police matron to care for
the unfortunate women who are incarcerated in the city prison,
are only two of the accomplishments for which Mrs. Weaver shares
credit. This club woman's reforms were along practical lines
and her ability and tireless energy ever brought success to her
every effort for civic improvement in Dallas.

BODY OF UNKNOWN
MAN IS FOUND
______
Knocked From Morning
Freight
Train Into River.
Special to The Times Herald.
The body of an unknown white man,
supposed to have been knocked from a moving freight train on
the Cotton Belt, was found in the Trinity river, near here this
morning. He was clean shaven and looked to be about twenty-five
or thirty years of age. His hair was of a reddish-brown color.
His rough clothes, consisting of a jumper and pair of overalls,
indicated that he was a working man.
The accident is supposed to have
occurred Monday morning about 4 o'clock. The man had passed through
here on a freight train en route to Fort Worth. He is supposed
to have been struck by an upright span in crossing the long bridge
over the river. He was missed by his companion at Bransford's
water tank, who immediately alighted and started back afoot in
search of him. He walked to Smithfield, and from there, the news
was telegraphed here. A search was instigated with the above
named results.
Sent to Investigate.
The finding
of the dead body of an unknown white man in the river near Carrollton
was reported to the sheriff's office this morning and Deputy
Sheriff Charles James was sent to that point to make an investigation.
The identity of the man was not known at the sheriff's office.

BODY UNIDENTIFIED

Translate German Letters
Found on Body.
An unknown
white man was run down and killed by a switch train in the
Houston and Texas Central freight yards at an early hour this
morning. As no one saw the accident, it is not known just how
it happened. The mangled body was found lying across the track
by a train hand after the cars had passed over it. The remains
were taken in charge by the Donovan Undertaking company to be
held, subject to further instructions.
Apparently a German.
The dead man was apparently of
German descent. Several German papers were found on the body
and some writing in this language, in a note book. Up to noon,
this had not been translated. He was about forty years of age,
and was apparently a laborer. He wore overalls, and in his pocket
was found a switch key, indicating that, at one time, he had
been a railroad employe.
Remains Are Viewed.
Justice of the Peace Edwards viewed
the remains, but up to a late hour this afternoon, had not rendered
his decision. He was looking for some one, he said, to translate
the letters and see if any information could be gleaned in regard
to the dead man from these.
The accident occurred shortly before 4 o'clock this morning.

FOUL PLAY IS
NOW SUSPECTED
_______
Officers Working
on a Clue That
Man Was Murdered.
Deputy
Sheriff Charles B. James, who was detailed to make an investigation
into the finding of the dead body near Carrollton yesterday,
when seen this morning, gave it as his opinion, that there was
foul play in connection with the death of the unknown man.
He said that he learned while in Carrollton yesterday, that the
dead man, when last seen alive, had $21.80 on his person, and
that when the body was taken from the waters of the river, only
85 cents was found on his person.
The body was in such an advanced
stage of decomposition when found, that it could not be held
for any length of time, and had already been buried when the
officer reached that place. From what could be learned, so Mr.
James said, there were a number of injuries about the head of
the dead man. The opinion of the people in that vicinity, is
that the unfortunate stranger was foully dealt with.

Escaping Prisoner
Fatally Wounded
Late Yesterday Afternoon.
_______
WANTED AT FORNEY
_____
Had Escaped With
Officer's Pistol from
There Yesterday Morning -- Charged
With Burglary.
A Mexican,
whose name is supposed to have been Jim Millson, was shot
and instantly killed at the corner of Preston and Jackson streets
late yesterday afternoon while endeavoring to escape from officers
who had him under arrest.
The Mexican, it was claimed, had
entered the residence of Dr. William Garrett at Forney yesterday
morning, and among other things, had stolen a pistol, a watch
and chain and a pearl-handled knife. Constable Lee, of that place,
undertook to arrest the Mexican, who engaged him in a wrestling
bout and succeeded in taking his pistol from him and making his
escape. Mr. Lee promptly notified Dallas officials to keep on
the lookout for the fugitive and hurried to the city himself.
Mexican Ran.
Patrolmen McDougal and Ivy arrested
a man they supposed to be the burglar in East Dallas about 4:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon and started to the city hall with
him. At the corner of Preston and Elm, one of the officers went
into a nearby building to telephone for the patrol wagon, leaving
the prisoner in charge of the other officer. Here they were joined
by City Detective Pegues, Constable Lee and Dr. Garrett, whose
house had been entered by the Mexican. As they came up, Constable
Lee pointed to the Mexican and exclaimed, "That's the fellow."
The prisoner instantly made a break for liberty and was pursued
by the officers named. They were also joined by Patrolmen Haney
and Murray.
All began shooting at the fleeing
prisoner, who fell at the corner of Preston and Jackson streets.
Sheriff Ledbetter, later in the
evening, made an affidavit charging Detective Alex Pegues with
murder. Detective Pegues gave bond promptly, in the sum of $1,000.
The remains of the dead man were
taken in charge by the Donovan Undertaking Company and interment
was made last night.

Dallas Federation.
The following resolutions were
adopted yesterday by the Dallas Federation of Women's Clubs:
Whereas, It is an unalterable law
that yesterday, today and forever remains that it is apportioned
unto every mortal once to die; and
Whereas, At this time, on June
28, 1906, that grim messenger, Death, who is no respecter of
persons, who comes alike unannounced to the high and to the lowly,
summoned to the "other shore," the great benefactress,
philanthropist and noble-hearted Christian woman, Sarah Elizabeth
Weaver; and
Whereas, As a loyal band of women,
who loved and appreciated her many womanly virtues, her great
executive ability, and her winsome, gracious personality and
the exalted nobility of her generous heart, ever aglow with love
and tenderness for those on whom frail fortune never smiled;
we, who knew her best would fain place an oblation of affectionate
esteem on her bier, for we deeply mourn her taking away, yet,
we feel thankful that before her vision closed here on earth,
she was permitted to see and enjoy, in foundation and commencement,
many uplifting philanthropies and civic reforms which she fostered
and mothered; and
Whereas, We desire to give utterance
in some fitting expression of the irreparable loss to our city
and State, to the interests of the federated club women of all
Texas, for our much-loved and honored president was a guiding
genius of work for the cause of humanity and a lofty exponent
of the most tender charity and broadest philanthropy; be it therefore
Resolved, That the sympathy and
condolence of the federated club women of Dallas be tendered
to the bereaved family in their hour of dark affliction, and
we wish them to understand that we feel that of all the great
noble women who have been transplanted to Texas from other States,
none performed greater service, and in the years to come, the
name of Mrs. Elizabeth Weaver will shine with resplendent glory
in the true history of this period.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be entered upon the records and minutes of our federation, and
that engrossed copies be transmitted to the family, to the archives
of the State and District Federations, also copies to The Dallas
Times Herald and Morning News.

"Whereas, God, in His infinite

and beloved member and directory, Mrs. J. C. Weaver; and
"Whereas, In the death of
this noble and much-loved woman, not only this, but all other
organizations with which she was identified, have sustained an
irreparable loss; and
"Whereas, In paying this last

THROAT CUT
WITH KNIFE
______
Will Goland Received
Fatal Injur-
ies Saturday Afternoon.
_______
ADDITIONAL ARREST
_______
Dalford Flaker Taken
in Custody by
Police -- Locked Up at the City
Hall Station.
Will Goland,
a negro about forty-five years of age, was fatally wounded in
a cutting affray shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He sustained a long gash from the left ear, down across the breast,
the jugular vein being severed. Dalford Flaker, another negro,
a few years younger, was arrested by Patrolmen McDougle and Ivy
and locked up in the city hall prison, charged with murder.
The trouble, it is stated, was of several months' standing, and
was of a private nature. The negroes had fought several months
ago and were on bad terms, generally.
Met In Saloon.
Yesterday afternoon, they met in
the negro saloon, and with a very few words, Flaker drew a long
knife and stabbed his adversary, as above stated. He then fled,
and, being pursued by the police officers, took refuge in a lumber
yard, where he was arrested. He stated to a Times Herald reporter
at the police station that Goland had repeatedly threatened his
life, and that he stabbed him in self-defense. Goland, he said,
started to draw his knife, but said that he had his in readiness
and was too quick for his opponent. He stabbed at Goland, he
said, several times, but felt justified in it. Both negroes
resided near the corner of Pearl and Runnels streets and had
married sisters.
The body of the victim of the affray
was taken in charge by the Donovan Undertaking company, to be
held subject to further instructions. Justice W. M. Edwards,
acting as coroner, viewed the remains last night.

CITY AMBULANCE
BREAKS RECORD
_______
Race Made to Save
Life of Injured
Man Last Night.
An unknown
white man, evidently a laborer, was run over by a Texas and Pacific
passenger train shortly after 9 o'clock last night, near the
Fair Grounds. His left arm was cut off close to the shoulder
and his left leg was cut off between the ankle and the knee.
He was taken to the city hospital, where he received prompt
attention.
At an early hour this morning,
he had not regained consciousness, and little hope is entertained
for his recovery. In his pockets was found a bill on which the
name of "Blair" was plainly written. Nothing
further was found which would lead to his identity.
There was not witness to the accident,
as far as could be learned, and just how it occurred could not
be learned.
The city ambulance conveyed the
injured man from the Union depot to the city hospital in a record-breaking
run, covering the distance in seven minutes.
____
The police,
late last night, located James M. Moore, a brother-in-law, of
the injured man, who resides at 212 Porter street. Blair's wife
was at the residence, it is said. They drove at once to the
city hospital in a carriage. It was announced that Blair's condition
was much improved at an early hour this morning.
Died at Early Hour.
At 3 o'clock
this morning, the injured man died.
