bailc, out OF custody by his employers, the

| ! short time after Dr. ETantley's death,
| Neal McC0y,a noted desperate from Mis-
| si>-ipp!. who had been sent by the friends
! Of i antlry. appeared upon the scene. The
| Doctor was Il native OF! that State, and had
! em4raicd to / cX..S but few Years before
| hi, death. Mccoy had been residing in
Gonzales but Il few days when difficulty
| occurie ed between him and the Balzell bro
Tiers IN the duning-room Of the Gayoso
| House. in which Dave was killed and Wiz
| liam Knocked Scnseless with Il Slung-Snot.
! he afterwards recovered, however, and
! may now be living for au9ht We know. SO
! lar there has been but two llHeS lost. Mccoy
! was ARE sIcd and gave bal. Nov the leud
l 1 Ill
! brothers espou>ed the cause of the BalZellS,
and iii consequence were opposed to the
| friends Of the BrantleyS. Thc:5 was hardly
| n man III the comfy OF Gonzales who had
not ut one time or another taken sides.
! Some We're Killed anu others wounded.
Among those who were desperately
wc,lntcd on the BranElcy side, oIIr inform

; Da.i>. from ChoctaW county, Miss. lie re-
| c..iyc, tie contents of Il gun loaded with
! buck~hJt through his lett SIDE, put, strange
| TO SAY, recovered. The surviving balzell
WAS uomentaily eXpt citing an attack. In
these days Western Texas was rather
wild country, the law was but imperfectly
! enforced, aud consequently every one con-
sidered misrepresentation the first law OF
r1.I,rr." A Brantley man and Munroe
man were deadly enemies. They met but
t. engage in Il bloody allray. Thus stood
nli,lir, at the breaking out OF the war III
1861. The udheTents Of The respective pa
rents went into the southern army. IN the
year 1865 Il young planter named Green
WAS killed at the Boarnan, House, lii
Jlckson, Mississippi, by Arnold Brantley, u
brother OF D.. Branl!ey, and the same man
wlo was ElayOr Of Winuna, 1T Inc Time OF
his death \ few weeks ago. The affair, 1t
was supposed. grew out OF gambling
scranc, but il may have possibly been con-
necttd with the ieud which originated IN
Texas. Thus it will be seen that the late
altar in the neighborhood of Winona can
in a measure be accounted Tor. AT las'
accouutS, two years ago, VIM. Balzell was
living. lie was member OF the 10th Mis-
s!ssippi cavalry regiment, and passed safety
through the war. he proved himself sa!-
liant soldier, and it is not thought that, IL
alive, he would be guilty OF an aSsasslna-
ton, lis lie. il is SAID, after the death oil
DR.. BTAntley, was Il d sspated one. lie APP
parantiy cared but little for IN existence,
and re.orted to drink. lie was q native OF
