AUSTIN, August q.
A few days ago two travelling beg
gars, a mar and a woman. exceedingly
depraved specimens of humanity,
passed through this city en- route for
Reno on foot. Yesterday, about -
miles west of WeStgate, the IONA
gave birth to a child, which the man
killed. Later in the day the man was
arrested and lodged in Jail at Still
water, where he attempted suicide
last night by hanging. The most hor.
rlble feature in the case is the fact that
the man was the OStenSible father of
the mother of the child.
