The Sewer Tax Assessment.

The refusal of some of the property
holders benefited by the Division streei
sewer to pay their assessment for its con-
struction. as noticed in the proceedings
Of the Village Council, is based, We un-
derstand, upon the ground that the char
ter under which the village government
is working is illegal, and therefore all its
acts are illegal. 1t may be very good
thing for the public to know this, but
we fear st will cost the contestants more
to find it out than it would to pay
their sewer tax.

An Indiana T1e1 Caught IN Ims county.
Some days since man arrived in town
giving the public to understand that he
was peddler. His actions did not, how
ever. corroborate such statement. He
registered at the Spencer House as from
South Bend, Ind. 1t soon transpired
that he was an officer, aud that he was
after one of gang of thieves who was
supposed to be in this part of the coun-
try. He stated that for some years past
there had been gang of thieves infest-
ing that part of the country. Most of
them had been caught, but ole had been
supposed to have come here. The de-
tective secured the assistance of VIM.
Mulvaugh, and the two went ont !, in the
woods near the Riggs settlement, where
the man was supposed to be at work.
Mulvaugh came across him, and, satisfied
that he was the man wanted, made the
arrest. The man was considerably sur
prised, but accepted the situation, and
confessed. He was taken back 10 Indi-
ana at once by the detective.

Last Saturday morning Mr.. Louis Bis
son, who works In Clark's blacksmith
shop, and who lives on the town line
road little west of John F. McD0nald's,
made Gre and went to his work, leaving
his wife sick. A short time afterward
the house was discovered on fire by Mr..
Defrain and others, who succeeded in
getting to it soon enough to put out the
fire. The damage to the house and fur
niture will probably aggregate about
$2oO, upon which there is no insursce.
The fire caught from the stove pipe run

About the Killing of Harwick "A San
saba.
GEORGETOWN, Nov. 81, nc

NEOANElOhN3 NOf. 81, 1sO.
Editors Democratic IStateman-I &c in
the STATESMAN of to-day an article !adel
''Killcd in San Saba" wherein yol state
that "a man named Harwlck was kled in
the town of San Saba by L. A. Toillnson
and Hal c. Fisher. All three of tie men
were drunk and hunting a row. Fisher
and Tomlinson had escaped to tb river
bottom"
In justice to Messrs. Fisher and 'omlin
son, write this hoping that you vii cor
rect the erroneous statement publised. II
is true that Harwick was killed nd that
Mr.. Fisher killed him. Mr.. Tomlison had
nothing whatever to do with ne kill
ing. Mr.. Harwick, who was n entire
stranger came, up to where lr. Fish
er and several gentlemen were standing
in front. of Messrs. Williams Sc Bsyl:ss's
store. Harwick at the time was dunk, and
armed with an Enfield rifle, anCas he APP
preached the store, asked, in aooisterous
manner, "Ihere jim Murray Vs." which
he repeated two or three times directing
his question the last time to Ir. Fisher,
who said, ''what do you want with Mr..
Murray? You are not going to hurt him, are
your Harwick then said go, he Is &
friend of mine" Fisher, in eplv, said,
''while he is no friend of nine, would
not like to see him hurt" Hrwick then
SAID, "Wilkes (speaking to Fishr) l am not
afraid to kill y0u, Jim Murray, or any Other
dam man." Suiting the actionto the WORD
he cocked his gun and presented il
at Fisher, and as he did this
and was just in the aci of firing
Fisher drew his pistol, and before il
was fully drawn, Harwick fired. The ball.
just missing Fisher, entered the inside OF
Baylss's store. Fisher, after Harwick had
fired, fired two shots within two seconds af
ter Harwick fired, both of which took effect,
killing Harwick almost instantly. Fish
er surrendered himself to the sheriff, waived
an examination and entered into bond il
the sum of $1,000, which he gave immedi
ately after the amount of bail was fixed
for his appearance at the March term of thu
District Court.
And as to all parties being drunk ant
hunting row, this is the creature of some
mans fertile Imagination, as Mr.. Tomlin.
son has never been seen to drink intoxica
thug liquors of any kind. have stated u
you what the testimony, taken before tht
coroner's inquest, developed.
AS you have done both Mr.. Tomlinsor
and my brother injustice (though 1 know
by your publication,
hope that you will do me the kindness t.
publish this statement.
Very respectfully yours,
