LARGE REWARD FOR GIN BURNER.
-----
Bruceville Farmers Mean To Catch
Man Who Fired Gin.
-----

       The farmers union of Bruceville are determined to catch the party who set fire to their gin several nights since.  At a largely attended meeting, they raised a purse of $1035 which they offer for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party.
       The union decided to rebuild the property and sent Col. E. Tom Cax to Dallas to purchase the machinery.
       Officers are at work on the case and the guilty party will hardly escape, it is believed.
