NEW TRIAL GRANTED. = Judge
Sloan has granted new trial in
the case Of Frank Miller VS.. G. B. &
@. Railroad. The application was
argued some three weeks ago, at Ke-
osauqua, by Stiles & Burton for the
c. B. b O., and Hendershott and Nc
Nett for Miller. The new hearing
will come ON at the October term Of
the Circuit Court.
The new trial, we understand, has
been granted on account of show
ing by Messrs. Stiles and Burton that
new testimony has been discovered
that's material to doing justice in tho
case. 1t will be remembered that at
the last term of court this case was
very ably conducted for Miller by
O'Brien, Of Chicago, and Hendershott
and McNett, and as ably defended by
Hessrs. Stiles & Burton, on the part
Of the railroad. In the new trial
there will, NO doubt, be still greater
interest excited than there was in the
3rst.

CO TO TEXAS.

We arc indebted to r. N. Harlan
for o copy of the Houston (Texas)
Telegraph of May Goth. We see that
business is still lively down there.
One Davidson, of that place, had a
fight with three men, cleaned out the
trio, and one of them, VIM. Rennick,
was seriously stabbed. Bill Little
stabbed and attempted to murder q
negro in a house of ill-fame. Sam
Holland, of Lavaca county, shot and
killed Lewis Anderson. Two coun-
terfeiters shot and killed Deputy U.
S. Marshal, M. r. Green, while try
ing to arrest them in Comanchc coun-
ty. A gang of outlaws at Brownwood
made the sheriff deliver up the Jail
keys while his head was covered with
a revolver, and then they liberated
four of their pals and turned them
loose to commit more murders and
robberies.
Henry Martin tell from his wagon,
was run over and killed few days
ago on Galveston Island. A few
years ago his wife died, and he
buried her in his hen house without
shroud or coffin-just retribution.
A difficulty occurred in Robertson
county between two men named VIM.
Smith and Spry. Spry not being
spry enough for Smith, was killed,
and Smith escaped.
A white woman named Anne, liv.
ing in the neighborhood of the St
Louis Hotel in Dallas, suicided Thurs.
day night by taking morphine. She
and her clover" quarrelled, and in
her despair she ended the troubles OF
this life with the fatal drug.
A beautiful girl deserts her home
at Fort Worth to pursue life OF
shame.
So we conclude that Houston and
Texas generally, is a lively place. an
easy place for local editor to make
stunning paper, and that the Tel.
egraph meets with quick sales and
has large circulation. Daily papers
in Texas are indispensable, or how
else could the public keep posted in
the rapidly occurring crimes in that
State.
