DEATH OF CosToLITEs, THE LIPAN CHIEF
A late letter from San Antonio, Texas, states
that Costolites, the Lipan chief who made his
escape from the stockade at San Antonio,
where the prisoners captured by Col. MacKen-
zie in Mexico were confined, did not make his
way back to Santa Rosa. 1t was supposed that
he would steal horse from the first rancho he
came TO and go home in style. This seems to
have been impracticable, and the old fellow,
VINO was over eighty years of age. was compelled
to ride "Shanks' mare" 1t would seem that he
was unable to stand the fatigue of so long e
march, and "pegged out'' forty miles west of
San Antonio, where his body was found in an
advanced state of decomposition.

denies the charge and expresses an earnest de-
sire that the reports be kept from his father
Young Mcclellan is about TWENTY-FIVE years OF
age, and has been in the railway postal service
since April, 1867. 1t is certain al least that up
TO p. m. to-day he had not been arrested.
