j eflreys' brother was taken out of jail
In Meridian and hanged by n mob last
August for cattle-steallng. II IL n
lively story of deadly Incidents. JEFF
reys was u terrible cattle thief Six
weeks ago Jefireys, calling himself
Wilson, spent the night with Mr.,
Davis six miles from Austin. Davis
did not know Jeflreys at the time.
The Governor has offered reward, we
are told of two hundred and fifty dol
lars for the apprehension OF the daring
devil. Jeil'reys Ia now, happily, no
more. If his head be worth two hun
bred and fifty dollars II will surely
be brought to Austin"
