The performance OF Duprez Il Ben
edicps minstrel troupe last night was
oil that their most earnest friends
could have asked. The audience man.
Tested their appreciation throughout
the performance by reiterated cheers
and laughter. If there was one thing
more noticeable than another, il was
tho song that Edwards heard "Down
in Georgia." The tableaux were also
very effective, and the comic features
strongly brought out by the free use of
red fire. The clog dancing was supe.
rior to anything that has appeared in
Dallas for years, and 1t was hard to
say whether artistic performance or
ludicrous pastures, in perfect time to
the music, mostly delighted the
audience. However this be, we can
only hope that the programme to-
night will not BIZ inferior to
"Beethoven's Fourth Symphony"
"The Noble Savage" or "Gambrinus,"
to say nothing of "rhe Midnight In
truder." Perhaps Messrs. Duprez \
Benedict could make II advantageous
TO their interests to remain longer
with US, and In that event the laugh
ter loving portion of our people would

character. Kind and humane men and
women have constantly sat by his bed
side, and his every wish was at once
gratided. His mother is now with
him, and she, since her arrival here
has met with nothing but courtesy
and polite consideration. No one re.
grets the affair more than the citizens
of Dallas county, and they one and all
rejoice that the certainty Of Mr.. Fra
zee's recovery is now assured almost
beyond the possibility of a doubt:
LANCASTER, KY, November H. 1875
Major Barkley, Sheriff Dallas County, Texas
DEAR SIR: see from an article in
the Louisville Courier-J ournal, clipped
from the Dallas Commercial, that Mr..
William Frazee, of Mason county, Ken
lucky, was shot and dangerously
wounded by robber near your city.
Mr. Frazee is u cousin Of mine, and 1t
is with deep regret | learn of his sad
misfortune. For n young man just
entering life, "a stranger in a strange
land" to thus be shot down In broad
open daylight, near n civilized and
highly refined city, is II foul blot on
"The Lone Star State" and one |
hope that may be to some extent erased
by the speedy punishment Of the cow
ardly murderer His mother is with
you ere this, and see, as far as lies in
your power, that she and her unfortu.
nate son receive the proper attention.
If there is any chance of bringing the
woud-be assassin to the bar Of justice,
let me hear from you, for neither Mr..
Frazee or his mother belong to n family
that would suffer the tiendish perpetra-
tor to go UNPUBLISHED, or those who
rendered assistance to one Of their
number in trying hour, unrewarded.
| would endeavor not only to be pres
ent myself, but employ the hest legal
talent in your State to assist the Pros
ecuting Attorney at the trial.
With u kind word to the boy and his
mother, and with highest regards to
yourself personally, remain,
Yours Truly, MAT. WALTON.
If not asking too much, write me
the boys true condition.

ed her, she drew II knife and warned
him not to come near her, and it was
only by some considerable strategic
movements that he was enabled to
seize The knife and prevent the woman
from innicting injury upon him. He
had no sooner disurmed her and rem
dtred her powerless, than she attempt
ed TO swallow large dose Of morphine,
which she had concealed about her
person. She succeeded in getting 1t in
her mouth, but before she could swal-
low 1t Major Barley caught her by
the throat and choked her until she
was compelled to spit it out, which
prompt action in all probability served
TO save her life. She struggled des-
perately to escape, but Major Barley
held on to her, and finally succeeded
In taking her to jail, where she was
locked up. She positively refused to
tell her name or the cause which
prompted her to attempt the rash act
The woman is quite young, in fact not
above eighteen years of age, handsome
and pleasing features, and quite pre-
possessing in appearance. Sheriff
l}arkley informed us yesterday after
noon that he intended to release her
later in the day. We hope that TWEEN
ty-four hours cool reflection in the
county Jail has caused the would be
suicide to change her mind, and to
consent to bear the ills of this world n
while longer.

Edith Maud Ellis, the little daugh-
ter OF Mr.. Ellis, of our city, has made
quite q reputation before the footlights.
Many of our citizens have earnestly
requested n repetition of 'Irma, the
Wait" and accordingly it has been
decided to present the play again on
next Saturday evening. Besides II

perhaps, see something else.
We were informed Yesterday that
some of the good people of Cedar Hill
were not at all pleased at our locating
the Dickinson outrage in their neigh
borhood. The affair occurred on Frank
Houston's place, eleven or twelve
miles from this city, and four or five
miles this side of Cedar Hill. We
think this distance will justify our
statement of it having occurred in the
vicinity of Cedar Hill.

Mr.. II. Morgan thought more of the
pleasure of a square old drunk than Of
his dignity and standing in the COM
munity. His Honor showed him the
difference, which was exactly three
dollars and costs.
Geo. Reason so fur forget his sober
reason as to make a loud and unneces-
sary noise. His outraged neighbors
vindcated their rights by informing
the court. The court winked and ask
ed George sly question. Whatever
may have been the answer, the court
said three dollars and costs.
Charles Keith carried pistol. For
tunately for him he also carried TWEEN
ty-five dollars, with few extras in the
shape of costs. Otherwise he would
have spent some damp nights in a
prominent Sycamore street boarding
house. But Charles was liberal, and
paid an extra ten for shooting off that
same weapon at the Lady Gay saloon.
Thomas Murphy, following the ira

lars and costs for an attack of the "old
thing"
w. Hynes did something wrong, but
rs he paid five dollars, it is all right.
Mr.. Reston, with three initials,
fought, carried II pistol and paid his
fine like u little man. Mr.. Quitman,
his opponent, did the same.
Mr.. Bush said he did not use abusive
language, but it was decided otherwise
and Mr.. b. gracefully rendered three
dollars and costs.
Peter Fancier, whose great-grand.
mother ate roast monkey beside the
shores of "Alric's burning rivers,n

laborers. He found out that he could
do it by paying three dollars and costs.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Sheriff Barkley, which we
publish at his request. Mr. Walton,
the writer, can rest sssured that the
officers Of this county spared neither
pains or expense to capture the scoun-
drel that attempted to assassinate Mr.
Frazee. They followed him to the In
dian Nation, where they lost his trail,
but they by no means have given up
the hope Of his ultimate capture. The
would.be assassin was a man named
Cruise, u notorious 'lesperado and one
Of the actors In the celebrated express
robbery, which occurred In thisH city
several weeks since. Every country
and every city Is disgraced by
such desperadoes az this man
Cruise, aud we do not think that
Texas should be especially blamed
for the acts Of this man. Since the
unfortunate affair, MIR. Frazee has re-
ceived the tenderest care and the at
tentions Of the physicians attending
him have been OF the most sollcltous

Released on Rail.

Joseph Atkinson, who, it will be re-
membered, was arrested early in last
October on u charge of robbing coun-
tryman in hack in this city, was yes
terday released from the county Jail,
on the required bond being given by
his father for his appearance at the
next of the Criminal District Court.
In the annals of criminality few
cases can be found which will present
worse appearance than that of this
lad, who is scarce twenty years of age.
OF good family he was reared by an
indulgent mother and kind father,
their home being but short distance
from this city. His father, who is now
an old man, and is counted among the
worthiest citizens of the State, was
once possessed of considerable wealth,
since spent in trying to reclaim his
boy.
To satisfy within of his son, the old
man, about two years ago, started him
in business, furnishing him with goods
to the amount of several thousand dol
lars, and for n few months all went
along nicely, but Joseph's old traits
again overlook him, and gradually,
what with gambling and riotous liv-
ing, he soon squandered his stock Of
goods, and not only that but he left his
father several large debts to pay which
almost broke him up. After wander
ing about the country, he turned up in
this city, where, from his dissipated
habits, he soon became known to the
police, and next we find him commit
ting n theft which placed him in the
county Jail. That this was not his first
otiense is certified to by several who
however, did not wish to prosecute
him. The writer of this, in sympathy
for his brokcn-hearted father, had n
conversation with this ill-guidedyouth
since his release, and listened to his
protestations of future good conduct,
which is sincerely to be hoped for

Dill, the Despcrado, brought TO Dallas

Captain Peak, City Marshal OF DIAL
las, left this city last week, accompa-
MED by two deputies, on a delicate
errand. The officers proceeded to
Jacksboro, and after securing the per-
son of Dill, who, 1t will be remembered,
was strongly suspected of being the
leader of the daring robbery of the ex-
press wagon on Commerce street some
time since. When the officers pre-
pared to leave with their prisoner, q
promscuous crowd assembled, and
after Dill had babe farewell to his
friends, IL was announced that ii would
not be prudent to attempt removal of
the prisoner In open day. Captain
Peak Immediately informed the men
standing round that the first effort
pointing towards n rescue, or the first
shot fired at the vehicle which con-
tanned the prisoner, would announce
the death warrant Of the latter.
Whether this threat had any effect
may be judged by the result. The
prisoner was yesterday safely landed
in our county jail. He vigorously
protested his innocence of the charge,
but Mr.. Cornish, the express agent,
after seeing him, identified him as the
man who secured the packages of
money, while his companion, with u
gun presented, compelled the acqui-
escence of the parties in charge of the
express wagon.
Major Barkley says that even If Dill
were Innocent of the particular rob-
berry which caused his arrest, he Is yet
glad to have him in charge, as there
are several other dellnquencies against
the peace and dignity OF the State of
Texas, which he will be called on to
explain. On the whole, we congratu-
late ourselves that we have officers
who know their duty, and, knowing,
are willing to execute II.
