BY q letter received from
Dresden, Texas, we learn that q
young man named VIM. Babus,
who formerly resided here, was
thrown from his horse and killed
on the Slst July. Mr.. Babus
leaves wife and three little chill
dren. His parents reside near
Montgomery.
On Saturday evening last,
Harrison Jenkins, colored, who
was confined in the parish jail,
awaiting his trial at the District
Court, made his escape. Jenkins
is one of the party who killed q
heifer belonging to Mr.. A. G.
Lewis a short time since. At his
preliminary trial he was held to
bail in the sum of $500, and being
unable to give it. he was remanded
to jail. Saturday evening last,
when Mr.. Cock6eld was carrying
him his supper. the prisoner
crouched behind the door, and on
its being opened he suddenly
pushed Mr.. G. aside, and got out.
Not being able to furnish the
bond, he thought the besf..thing
he could do was to give leg bail.
He is still at large.
