The HERALD ~ called upon to an
nounce the death ola most estmable
lady, Mrs Loeb, wife of our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Sigmund Loeb. The
sad event occurred yesterday after
noon, and has cast gloom upon n
large circle Of friends and acquain-
tanoes. She leaves two motherless
little daughters, who will sadly miss
her kindly and gentle care. The va
rious Hebrew societies of the city will
attend her funeral in II body. THE
HERALD extends its sympathy and
coincidence to the afflicted husband
and family.

A slight Mistake.

The Commercial chronicles the muir
der Of an unknown man, n short time
since, aud Ms usual gives n garbled aud
In correct statement of the facts. II
locates the scene Of murder In Dallas
county when 1t occurred In ElIls,
The facts In the case will be found IN
another column, taken from and cred
tied to the WaXahochie Enterprise.
If the Commercial man would only
give the proper credit to the articles he
purloins from his country exchanges,
and works over In order TO onyelop
them with the glamour Of orlgnali ty,
he would render himself less liable to
the jcers and jests Of his contem POI
raries.

The La,c Escape OF u convict.

Below Is published letter from Mr..
Wood, sergeant In charge of the con-
vlcls on the Texas and Pacific railway.
THE HERALD has no disposition TO do
injustice to any one, ana therefore gives
Mr.. Wood hearing. The facts were
given 10y the reporter as CLEANED from
gentlemen whom he deemed reliable.
While Mr. Woods' letter may be cor
rect in every particular, the reporter
sees no reasons TO reract the state
ment that there is n amentable lack
of duty and discipline in permitting
prisoners convicted of heinous offences
to escape almost every day:
DALLAS, TEXAS, April $, 1875,
10 the Editor the Dallas Herald,
DEAR SIR--In your paper of the 9th
| see an account of the escape of con-
Wet, near White Rock, on the Sd in
slant. A convict did escape on the Sd
OF this month, as stated, and was shot
mt twice with double barrel shot gun.
The second time he was shot at he fell
to his knees, and was tracked short
distance by his blood The article in
your paper stated that the man was al
lowed TO go out of range of the gun,
which is an error. A convict is never
allowed nearer than twenty steps to u
guard and not farther than thirty.
Your paper also stated that the pitt
full sum of twenty-five dollars was
offered for his arrest. / offered sew
enty-ilve dollars reward and never
less.
You will otlige the undersigned very
much 10y publishing this.
Yours, respectfully,
HARRIS WOOD,
Sergeant in charge of convicts on
Texas and Pacific railroad.
