Recent advices from Texas give the

Gentry, and u wealthy Missouran
named Shire. Gentry evinced con>id-
cradle anxiety to establish intimate re-
lations with Shire, but his advances
were in every instance repulsed. BY
sudden change OF tactics, Gentry at

but failed also in this, as the OF her par

upon his back in the road. When the
team had run about half a mile, tie
passenger drew a bead on the driver
and threatened to shoot him through
the head unless he turned and went
back 10 Shire'S assistance. When they

how the deed of blood had been done.

have contained $500 in currency, and
his traveling-Sachel, were not to be
found. Gentry had fled, after having
robbed tie person of his victim.

escaping into Mexico. Gentry was
born and reared on Stone river, about
nine miles from Nashville. He went

and had been leading wild, desperate
life. a statement, similar to that
given above. was made to the Dallas

usual, there was an abundance of sill
YER plate. The sun had gone down,
the wax candles We're lighted. the VIM
dows left open for the benefit of the
evening breeze. Suddenly great
number Of bambOOS was seen to enter
on all sides from the verandas; at the
same moment every candle was cXtin-
guiShed 10y Il puff from the bamboo
hollow tubes. The apartment was
involved in darkness, Il band of thieves
jumped in, and before the astounded
guests knew where they were or what
was doing, the whole of the plate was
conveyed away, and a boat having no
doubt been provided for the transport
OF the spoil either to a neighborieg is
land or to the mann land of China, no
trace was ever found of the robbery or
the robbers"
