It was generally beli ved that Gillett had first gone to Texas and from there to Old Mexico, a traveling man claiming to have seen him at Chihuahua.

lie Took $20,000 with Him. Gillett is said to have telegraphed friends here last Friday from Texas that he was then en route to Old Mexico, and by some this is believ to have been a to give him time to ge, to New York and set sail. In an interview yesterday J. H. Hollinger.

Many of the Maid Assets Are Al lowed to Starve to Death. Abilene, Nov. 28. The of Grant C. Gillett, the cattle king who left for parts unknown last week, spent yesterday struggling over the wreck which he left behind him.

It has veloped into a case of every man for himself, and the result is a worse snarl than ever. Each commission firm which holds Gillett paper seems to devote most of its time to checkmating the moves the others make. In the meantime losses are pilinq on losses and the million and a half estimated liabilities may eo vend even tha: amount. There is no one to feed or water thousands of cattle at the Gillett farm here, and while the creditors of failed magnate are quibbling themselves the cattle in the slabs undying for the want of water and The employes on the ranch have sorted their posts. On a sidetrack an twenty ear loads of Heresfords and short horns suffering in the storm with no one to care for them.

They arrived on the date of the failure. ft is stated that Gillett has certainly mortgaged and remortgaged the same cattle to different parties. In at --i one case it was stated he re-branded cattle he had sold to one man and mortgaged them to a commission hmn or as seems probable two or thn-e commission houses, for a heavy sm. and then had the herd divided and driven quietly off his farm to amnh.a man's place, where he arranged to a volt kept for winter. It is still impossible to accurately estimate Gib i liabilities.

Fort Worth. Nov 28 Grai Gillett is well known in Texas. La: the present year he bought from T- cattlemen nearly 50a eO head of paying fot them $2.800,000. Gillett aftm leaving Kansas earne to Texas and oj Nov. 22 registered at lie- Worth hate1 in this city.

He was seen by local commission men. He left sane and it was thought had gone to op Mexico. that a detachment from tht fifth infantry would be sent to this station to do garrison duty. This information has created a sensation among citizens generally, ard a used a stir which threatens velop into a storm. The trouble is aceoi of the fact that the soldiers the war department has designated for duty here are groes.

Beyond a doubt a strong protest will be entered with the war department by the state authorities and citizens against the occupation of the post by colored troops. Governor Jor.es. speak ing of the matter, said that he considered the sending of negro troops here as an exceedingly unwise thing and declared that would certainly remonstrate with the federal auth rities and protect against it to the war department.
