Killing of Texas Desperadoes.

The Jefferson tTexas) Jimplecute thus records
the taking of +" of Cullen NJ. Baker, as reckless
an outlaw as ever warred upon society:
About four weeks since he went to the house of
his brother in-law, Mr.. Thomas Orr, in Lafayette
county, Arkansas, and breaking down the door,
took Mr.. Orr and their father-in law. Mr.. William
Foster. tied their hands behind them and kept
them during the night. On the next morning he
hung Mr.. Orr until he supposed he was dead,
when he cut him down to get the rope to hang
another man. This man was finally released by
some Of Bakers men. Mr.. Orr recovered after
Baker and his party left. Mr.. Foster they released
about IL O'Clock that day. On the 9th of January
Baker and man named Kirby came into the set
tement again, and Mr.. Orr, with few friends,
determined to kill him or sacrifice their lives in
the attempt. They rushed on him aud succeeded
In killing him about ii O'Clock A. NJ. The man Kir-
by was alAo killed. Their bodies reached this CT v
yesterday evening about o'clock, and large
numbers OF persons are congregated around the
tent where the bodies lie. Bakers corpse has
been fully identified by many who had known
him. Thus ends the career of a man who has
Kept whole country in terror for months. and
Mr.. Orr deserves and will receive the thanks of
mankind for his action in Kidding the State of a
man who had declared himself the enemy of his
race. Tie above facts we get from Mr.. Orr in
person.
The Mount Pleasant Press, of the 9th, says On
Saturday night of last week, the farm of D. NJ.
II. Taylor, on Doggy. was the scene of tragedy
which brought quick vengeance on a Desperate
who gave bis name as Charley Tapley. During
the day he was at DsDgerfeld, in company with
two men, who gave their names as Steve Sullivan
and Sam Rodgers. Night found this Charley
Tapley at the above named farm, where ne com.
PEELED one white man and number Of negroes to
go into a room, and after locking the door com
PEELED them to dance, at the same time bandishing
his six-sbooter. After he had made them dance
as long as be chose, he told the white man he
might go. He did 50, and after he had been gone
some time, and while Tapley and some of the
negroes were still in the room some one shot this
Charley Tapley from outside with a double bar
relied shot gun, one shot taking effect IN the face,
and the other in the back under the left shoulder
Either shot would have proved fatal.
The death OF Buck Taylor, the terror of Western
Texas, is confirmed.
