The San Antonio papers Of the S0th ult., have the
following startling news:
Il Is well known that for q long time past some
OF the most desperate murders and robberes, horse
stealing house-breaking &c. have been going on il
San Antonio and the country around and last night
q horrible murder committed atew miles below.
The wife Of II. de la CARR was killed in her own
house by some seven or eight sssassins, and the
house then robbed OF money and valuables re-
ward of $500 was offered this morning for the ap-
prehenson of the murderers, and Sheriff Henry,
with a posse, fastened TO the place Of the bloody
scene.
About u o'clock gang of some dozen despera-
does had collected in the city the West side of
the river, many Of them IN dsrkened room, as
sort Of resort for the moment Here the shooting
commenced between the desperadoes and come
three or Jour citizens. Fielsrop killed one of the
desperadoes, and was shot through the head by an
other. At this awful juDcture, Jim Taylor, than
whom a drawer man never lived, gave orders for
some three Of his comrades to follow him-and at
tbe zane moment he broke through the window in-
10 the darkened room. As he entered, Bill Hart,
notorious character, shot him through the breast,
aud al the same moment a guu was pointed at Bill
Hart By another person, when Taylor exclaimed,
''be has shot me, let me shoot him." and fired.
Both fell. Citizens commenced rushing in well
armed as well as many Of the desperadoes, and the
shooting became general. The gang of rowdies
broke from the room by back door; many of them
who came up after the melee commenced, immedi-
stely 6ed-fnding that they we're coming to close
quarters.
By this time, at least three hundred citizens bad
collected ali well armed-forit was well known tina
this gang of rowdies could have at their command
as or 100 men within fifteen minutes. Many of
them came in sight but very wisely withdrew. Five
persons were killed. two citizens and three of the
desperadoes. Taylor may recover
At this stage of affairs the city authorities COM
handed the multitude to disperse, and they immedi-
ately obeyed the command.
Great excitement still prevailsl We hardly dare
prophesy what may be the result before the mat
ter ends. There will be meeting of the citizens
this evening.
