We understand that Franks nrc issued
by this company TO certain members OF
both Houses Of the Legislature. II the
reason for granting these Franks should
be inquired Into hone could be given 9TH

dependently and consoientiously.
But We think the motive In granting
these passes was bad, and their accep-
tapcs places the members In position
which prevents that freedom Of speech ana
action which should be possessed by eve
ry member Of the Legislature. Gentlemen,
show your independence by decisive ana
prompt.action in reference to the tcle-

been ascertained. He is described as q
man about FIVE feet nine inches in height,
light complexion, dark hair, dark hazle
eyes, full beard, and speaks in drawing
tone. As he has relatives living in the
vicinity Of Cypress, it is thought no may
be lurking in that vicinity. We under
stand that efficient detectives ore in pur-
suit, and trust the perpetrator Of this hor

fore the bar Of justice. The murdered
man leaves a wife and two children in
destitute circumstances.
