A Horse Thief Lynched and Another
One in Tow.

AS we 90 to press we learn Of the
lynching of a horse thief on the night
of the 18th instant. lie was found
suspended to n tree about three quar-
tiers of mile west of the slaughter
house, near the city. The supposition
is that he was hanged by the same par
ties who had the man Bishop in
charge, Monday, and who is vet to
hear from. We are unable to learn
the name of the lynched man, but
are informed that he has relatives liv-
ing near the city, who went early the
next morning and cut him down and
buried him.
Within the past few nights several
horses have been stolen from parties
within the city, and there is no doubt
of the existence of a well organized
band of thieves in this vicinity. We
regret very much that our people re-
sort to lynch-law for protection, and
sincerely hope the laws of our land
may, in the future, be respected in adj
ministering punishment such depre-
dators. u Denison News, 18th. G---

section of article four of the Constltu-
ton of Texas, providing that the
Governor shall hold his office for
the term of four years from the time
of his installment, under which you
claim and section three of the election
declaration attached to said Constittl-
ton, under which you were chosen

their election, under which the Gov
