The Waco Murder.

A special to the Houston Mercury
gives the following particulars Of the
killing of Deputy Sheriff Blankenship
on Friday night last:
WACO, July 25, 1878.
Another foul murder was committed
last night within few miles of this
city, by the Tehuacana outlaws of
McLennan county. In the early part
Of yesterday these ruffians appeared
within some three miles of the city,
and the Deputy Sheriff with q posse
dividing his forces into squads ofthree
to five men.
Immediately after dark one of them
encountered some men lying in am
bush. Burt Blankenship, good citi-
zen, who has for some time been act
ing as Deputy Sheriff, and who has
hitherto taken very active part in the
effort to bring these outlaws to justice,
was at the head of the squad. He
halted and demanded, "WhO are your"
The men in ambush made no reply.
Blankenshipthen said: "Ifyou dOn'tan-
swer me pll fire" The response was q
volley, one shot hitting Deputy Sheriff
blduhciShIp III Ilc uIeuSU dllu HUT
tally wounding him. He died in half
an hour after being hit. Prior to his
death, he recognized his murderer, one
Bob Chrystal, who has been terror to
the people of Waco and the surround
ing neighborhoOd.
This Chrystal is the same man who
headed the gang that released the
prisoners from the Jail few weeks
ago, and is suspected Of being involved
in the recent lynching of Matt Wallace.
He is noted stock thief and he and
his gang have threatened to take the
lives of several of the best citizens in
the county. Fear of him and his gang
have forced these citizens to keep men
on duty every night for u month past,
to protect them from the nocturnal
incursions of this gang of desperadOes,
The murder ofDeputy Sheriff Blank
ship, has created considerable excite
ment here, and decisive steps will be
taken to arrest and bring them to JUS
tice.
For this reason, the court, which was
in session, adjourned, SO that the grand
jury and other officials could lend their
aid in the capture. Over one hundred
men have left already on the trail, and
they will be Joined by great many
men from the surrounding counties.
Last night, two horses, saddles, and
pistol and one six shooter were
found; they are supposed to belong to
the murderOus gang.
1t is rumored that one of the assas-
sins was captured to-day. Public in
dignation runs SO high that If any of
them are captured, it Is barely possible
they will trouble the courts.
