M. Taylor, a prominent lawyer and one of the most promising men in Northern Texas, who was a member of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Legislatures, died this evening at 8:30 o’clock from septic poisoning, caused by abscess. Deceased was one of the ablest members of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Legislatures. He took a prominent part in all leading debates and stood high as a lawyer well versed in Texas law. He has been prominent recently as an active manager for his townsman, Hon. W. J. Swain, and would doubtless have been his right hand man at the Galveston Convention had he lived. In the death of Mr. Taylor Clarksville loses a valuable citizen and Texas an able man.
