THE PALMETTo-Arrea Of Epps The Murderer.
The Galveston News records the arrest Of the noto
rious Epps. The News says:
Epps travelled under the assumed name of
Judge Shelby. Under this name he came to Texas
about year ago, and stopped at Austin for about
six months. While here, his identity with Epps ap-
pears to have been detected, and information TO this
effect was sent to Virginia. Upon proper evidence
the Governor of that State made reqnisiiion upon
the Governor of Texas, which was given in charge
TO suitable person, who has, for some time back
been on the search. Epps, having some intimaton
of his danger, left Austin last October, and it was
not till very lately that his whereabouts were dis
covered, near the Falls of the BRACES. The person
commissioned for that purpose was promptly fur
nished with authority by Gov. Wood, and succeed
ed few days ago in securing Epps, alias Judge
Shelby He was brought to Austin last Friday,
and was lodged in jail, secured in irons. He was
to leave Austin by the stage The next day for
Houston, and may be expected in this city by the
next boat, on his way to stand his trial under the
laws OF Virginia. Gov. Wood is entitled to credit
for the prompt assistance he has rendered in appre-
hending this refugee from Justice Epps has his
family, plantation, and nearly one hundred negroes.
still in the vicinity of Petersburg The above in
formation has been given us by gentleman just
from AUSTIN
The person alluded to in the above arrived here
yesterday in the custody of Major J. B. Vaughn, of
Virginia The prisoner. in charge of his custodian
left yesterday in the Mobile boat. The police, who
are pretty good authorities upon such subjects, state
that he is to be taken to Virginia in order to be tried
on the charge of murder. The particulars of this
cold-blooded transaction readers are well aware
Of The murder was committed in Virginia some
two years ago, and the whole country was at the
time aroused against the culprit. Epps is said to
be man of fortune, and by means of his wealth
may possibly escape from jllstice-Jiem. They
say-that is, the police say--that the Epps men
honed IN the above is not the original Epps. As

DEATH oP LIEUT.. HENDERsoN.-One of the
most melancholy items Of news, received yesterday
by the steamship New Orleans, is that which mem
tons the death of Lieut.. Henderson, of Capt. Fair
child's Company of Louisiana Mounted Men, on
the 18th of February, in Mexico. Lieut.. Hender-
son, IA New Yorker by birth,) was well known In
this city, where he has resided since early boyhood.
His friends here are numerous, and they loved him
we'll We suppose il is almost needless to suggest
that the proper authorities here should take steps to
nav due honor TO the remains of the gallant de-
ceased-which, according TO the letter below, must
arrive here before long Lieut.. Henderson was a
printer here and adds one more to the many of the
craft who have testified their patriotism with their
very life-blood. The following letter was received
yesterday from Capt. Fairchild, addressed to a
friend of Lieut. H. in this city:
VERA Cruz, March 2, 1913.
Dear SSince my last, have been upon the road (Ori
Zaba) continually and consequently know nothing of Vera
Cruz. Jalapa Mexican have just arrived, after
sixty -four honrs in the saddle (whou sleep and hardly
thing to eat drink with the remains of Lieut. Henderson,
which am making arrangements to send TO New Orleans
do not know what vessel what time | will be able
10 send them, but will be Lent. H. has mother in
New York. and for her sake and in respect soldier who
died most saany the field. but indulge the hope
that his remains will be received with that respect which
honors the living as well the dead.
The following is the account from the Vera Cruz
American of this lamentable affair:
Guerrilla Fight-Lieutenant Henderson Killed.
A desperate conflict between Lieut. Col. Biscoe's
command and powerful force of guerrilleros &C.
Cured on the evening of the 18th February, at
place called Maiacordera, on the Orizaba road, in
which Lieut.. Henderson, Of the Louisiana Voun-
teers, was killed. lie fell in hand to hand con-
fict. -Four of the Georgia Dragons, who were
part of Col BiscOes command We're also killed,
and three men of the Louisiana Battalion wounded
The guerrieroes having been driven from the field.
Col. Brscoe's command proceeded, unmolested, to
Onzaba. The body Of Lieutenant Henderson was
brought to Vera Cruz the lst inst, and will be
sent to New Orleans for interment The following
officers were in the engagement: Lieut.. Col Biscoe
commanding (; Capt. " afford and two Lieuenants
Georgia Mounted Men; Capt George Kerr; Lieuts.
