Another Attempt to Break Jail

The prisoners in Woodstock Jail made
another attempt to break Jail on Thurs
day evening of last week, and in more
desperate manner than their attempt Of
the week previous. Their plan was to
get the jailor to open the door and go in
to the jail room, which all of the pris-
oners occupy in common, under pretense
of writing letter for one Of the prison.
ers, and to make grand rush when the
door was open. The sheriff and jailor
had been suspicious of some such at
tempt and we're well prepared, with a
strong guard on the outside of the door.
The Tailor was thrown down, but escaped
with only few slight scratches and
bruises. The ringleaders, Steiner, the
horse thief Sprout, the frebug, and
another prisoner named Hamlin, were
ironed and placed in cells, Steiner has
made several unsuccessful attempts to
break Jail, having unlocked the inner
doors with a wire taken from q wash ba-
sin. The prisoners had been arraigned
in court Thursday on the charges found
against them by the grand jury, and,
pleading not guilty, were remanded to
await their trial. They are desperate
characters and their sentence and re-
moval to State Prison will be great re-
lief to the citizens as well as to the Jail

STOLEN HORSES CAPTURED AND A THIEF
KILLED. On Tuesday night of last week two
horses belonging to Mr.. Marley, the baker,
were stolen, and the following day he offered
$50 for the recovery of the animals ard $50
more for the thief or thieves. Mr.. August
Pheuger, who lives on Gilleland creek east
of this city, happened to meet two men on
the prairie driving seven horses and among
them he recognized the two stolen from
Mr.. Markley. Ascertaining that reward
of 800 was offered for the recovery of the
horses and the arrest of the thieves he
secured the aid of two men and set out in
pursuit. The thieves were overtaken near
Taylor station and so soon ss they saw
their pursuers they commenced to fire and
after they had emptied their sixshooters
Paeuger and party closed in upon them and
tried their hand at the shooting game, in
which one of the thieves, supposed to be a
maa named Red, was killed. The other
thief, said to be named Martin, made his
escape. All the horses were captured and
Mr.. Markley's were sent back to him last
Saturday. Red and Martin are suspected
of shooting German at the Waco Saloon
west of Turner Hall the night Mr.. Markley's
horses were stolen.

FOUND GUILTY.-The case of one Wilson,
charged with killing a man named Barton,
few months ago, by shooting him through
the head while he was standing in front of
a saloon down IN Mexico, was concluded
Tuesday. The jury brought in verdict
of murder in the first degree. Wilson, it
will be remembered, was arrested immedi-
atelv after the murder was committed, but
was discharged after an examination before
Justice Neil's court. So soon as he was
set at liberty he openly stated that he com
mitted the deed with which he was charged,
when he was again arrested, and now he
finds himself in position to repent of his
folly and of the terrible crime of murder Of
which he boosted.

BILLY THOMPSON Hrs DEPARTURE FOR
KANSAS. = On Wednesday Judge Turner
decided that the r,quisition SAINT to Gov

BTly Thompson, charging him with the
murder OF deputy sheriff at Ellsworth in
that State some three years ago, had prece-
deuce over the complaint made here charg-
ing him with the murder of man in Ar
ansas county, and Thursday morning about
1850, the prisoner was delivered over to
Capt. Sparks by Sheriff Corwin, and he
and number of his men started with him
for the International depot. Near one
hundred people had assembled about the
Jail to see Thompson as he came from his
cell into the open day and light of
heaven. There was nothing sulky or
dispondent in Thompson's appearance,
who came out apparently cheerful and
smoking cigArita, and willingly mounieo
a mule intended for him. So soon as he
was in the saddle his feet were chained TO-
gether underneath the animal, which was
tied to one of the rangers horses with q
strong rope, aud away went Capt Sparks,
the rangers and Billy Thompson, ali eyes

MONEY! MoNEY!-The receipts of money
for tickets in the grand drawing of the
Kentucky Cash Distribution Company"
during the last few days, have been almost
unparalleled. Itseems as if the whole coun-
try had broken out into a great frenzy OF
ticket-buying. No city, and scarcely n
town, village, or hamlet has refused to con-
tribute to this drawing. This is not to be
wondered at, when we consider tho magni-
tude of the gifts, the cheapness of the
tickets, and the perfect fairness of the
drawing. At the present rate, the tickets
will give out before the drawing; so tuy

MERCHANTS are still complaining about
how they are swindled by some people who
buy goods on thirty days time and then re-
fuse to pay them, and they say they are
going to take steps to protect themselves
against frauds and swindlers, and it is very
proper that they should. Perhaps if the
merchants of a city or town were not al
ways swindled more or less by dishonest
persons, then goods could be sold at lower
rates to those who never fail to pay for
what they buy. 1t is suggested now that
every merchant in Austin prepare a list of
the names of those persons that he knows
to be dishonest or doubtful customers, an
that the merchants generally raise purse
to pay some one to go around and copy all
the lists and then furnish every merchant
In the city with one. No doubt there are
great many people, everywhere, who
make it study to beat and defraud Others,
and they deserve to be exposed. Stringent
laws and rules hurt no one but the dis
honest and the mean, and they deserve to
be hurt.

THE MCCORMICK HARVESTER AND BIND
Err. One of the greatest attractions at the
fair is The popular Mccormick grain binder
and harvester, which is pronounced abso-
lutelY perfect by crowds of farmers. 1t is
The only piece of machinery on the ground
operated by steam, and certainly it does all
the work claimed for it to do in the most
satisfactory manner. With these wonder
full machines a farmer who has couple
of hundred acres of grain to harvest has only
to mount his machine and with one good
span of horses he can, with the help of one
boy, save his crop. The machine does the
work of six binders, and don't waste any
grain, and his family don't have them to
cook for. This every farmers wife will ap-
preciate. AS an ingenious piece of mechan-
Ism and an agricultural implement that is
destined to work almost as important a
change as the discovery of steam or the
electric telegraph, We advise every body
who goesto the fair grounds to see the Nc
Cormick binder and harvester. The iden-
,ical machine On exhibition here took II e
premium at st. Louis and at the North
Texas fair, at Dallas.
