start Baker Boy had the call against the field.
They got away at the fourth attempt, and from the

and repeated this unseemly behavior half a dozen
times. Sarah Jane won the heat by alength, Slip

pools, the others at much lower rates. Dick went
on with the lead, but Baker Boy caught him on the
vance. At the hall this advantage was increased
to twenty lengths and at this point 1t was appar

pole and again on the stretch, the others just
saved their distance. Slippery Dick was second,

heat Baker Boy was dropped in the pools and
Sarah Jane was bought Tor the choice. Slippery
DICK was hrst away, sarah Jane second, Baker

The Brownsville Rdnchero of the third
instant publishes the following particulars
concerning the killing Of Captain Thomas
Williams, of the Texas State police, q short
time since:
For some time past there has existed
in Lampasas county an organized band of
desperadoes who have de6ed tie local civil
officers, committing Outrages upon the
peaceable and well disposed inhabitants,
who finally called upon the Governor for
assistance in executing the laws. Cap
tain Thomas Williams, of the State police,
was sent to the town of Lampasas with a
force of seven men for this purpose. On
their arrival Captain Williams was decoyed
into an ambuscade and set upon by eight
or ten men, and fired into from the rear
Captain Williams was shot in the back of
the head and three men who were with him
at the time were all shot down. Captain
Williams and two of his men were killed
outright and the other was mortally
wounded and died in short time after the
assault. The names of the murdered were
Captain Williams, and privates Wesley
Cherry, /. NJ. Daniels and Andrew Mel
Vile.
Captain Williams was lieutenant in the
First Texas Cavalry during the war, under
command of Colonel Z. J. Davis, and af
terwards of Colonel Haynes, and served
with great credit and distinction. At the
close of the war he was appointed an as
sistant assessor OF internal revenue by his
former commander. Colonel Haynes. which
place he filled with zeal and fidelity. When
the police force was organized, he was Sc
Ieeted by Governor Davis as an officer, on
account of his known courage and GOODNESS
in danger and by his eminent fitness for the
particular service required Of the officers OF
the police.
