ONE of our citizens, recently returned
from a scjourn of some weeks at the Lam
pasas Springs. reports great Inadequacy
of accommodation there. the private
boarding places are crowded, the two ''hO-
tells" are overflowing the dust all-pervsd-
lag, the heat intolerable, and ice almost an
unknown quantity. There are the usual
number of campers" gathered at the Han
cock and Chandler springs, together with
many rheumatic, lame and scrofulous peo-
pie seeking relief st the healing waters.
The two principal springs are nearly mile
apart, and vary materially from year to year
in potency and medical virtue. This sea
son the upper springs hardly retain a trace
of sulphur, while the Hanna water is, as
Sitting Bull would say, great medicine, be-
ing redolent with sodium and sulphur, with
tinge of magnesia and iron The heavy
chlorine gas from these springs frequently
causes fsintness to incautious bsthers, ter
minating fatally IN one instance this season.
The water proves highly beneficial in cases
of dyspepsia, indigestion, torpidity of the
liver, rheumatism and diseases of the skin.
The access to the Hanna springs, especially,
is exceedingly rough and primitive. Deli
cate ladies going to battle are compelled to
Chamber over a stone wall, and then SUI
mount a rail fence at the risk of torn and
soiled garments, and mayhap broken
limb. The manager should remember that
the public, from whom his income is de
rived, have right to reasonably safe APP
proach, and that ladies should not be re-
quired to turn double suu-mersaults as a
preliminary to reaching his springs. The
people of the growing town of Lampasas
want and expect the narrow gauge rail-
road they are ready to contribute their
quota, and are inqalring if Austin is will
Ing to do the same.

MYSTERIOUS. = On Wednesday night,
about O'clock, three white men came in
from Round Rock with colored man, who
had been shot in the side. They called on
DR.. Wooten, who removed the bullet and
dressed the wound, when they payed the
bill and went their way, taxing the
wounded man with them. How the shoot
ing occurred, and who did it; they would
not tell, and so far. as is known here, the
whole thing is wrapped in mystery.
Since writing the above we learn that
the police found the wounded man in a
wagon yard near the Waller creek iron
bridge. He says that the white men came
to him in a saloon at Round Rock, where
he was working, and asked him to take a
drink with them, and after getting out a
piece they told him to run, and then shot
him while he was doing so. His story is
unreasonable, and the probability is that all
were in some devilment together when he
was shot. He may be induced to tell the
true story yet. ql.,-.,

The men brought down from, Bridge

is still alive, bul his recovery is very doubt

The population of Austin is supposed to

the coming winter, after the advent of the
International, its population will no doubt
number at least 10000.
