They Met on the Street.

Ira Harris and J. W. Calder, the former the receiver of the Dallas and Wichita railroad, the latter its manager, were met on the street by Messrs. Painter, Ohenchair and Rosser, exdirectors of that road. Some words passed between Harris and Rosser, when Harris struck Rosser with his fist, and was knocked down , by that person with a cane. Rosser then drew a pistol and began shooting at Calder, who was standing a little aloof. Ohenchair and Rosser also drew weapons and opened fire upon Calder, who fell mortally wounded. His last act was to draw his pistol and fire ineffectually at his assailante. The three ex-directors surrendered themselves to Sheriff Harris unhurt. Cause, railroad complications.— Dallas (Texan) Herald.
