A JOHNSON COUNTY MAN.

He Meets with Foul Play In this city
and Woke up Yesterday Morning
Minus TwO Hundred and Seventy
i've Dollars.
DR.. w. S. Ross, of Johnson county,
came to this city Tuesday, bringing
with him two hundred and seventy
five dollars. During the day the doc.
tor took several drinks, and at night
met with three men, and the party
were together till late hour. About
midnight they started on Main street
in the direction of the postoffice, and
on reaching the corner of Main and
Market streets, DR.. Ross was felled by
powerful blow over the eye. Two of
the m en- attempted to rob him, but the
doctor regained his feet before they
could accomplish their purpose. The
two thieves then ran away. The third
man, named Harry Thompson, who
remained, appeared to sympath ize
with the doctor and denounced
the attack. He then protfered his
services to the wounded man to take
charge of him for the night and offer
ed to show him to a lodging place.
The offer was accepted and the two
Went to boarding house on Main
street, and went to bed, Ross first see-
ing that his money was safe on his
person. When he awoke in the morn
ing Thompson had left and the money
was missing. The police were notified
of the circumstances, and about noon
arrested Thompson lying drunk at the
Lady Gay saloon, in East Dallas.
But six dollars was found on his per-
son. He had squandered the balance
or it was stolen from him. Parties
who were present, say that as soon as
THOMPSON reached the bagnio, he
spent $40 for wine for the inmates
OF the place. The thief was taken in
charge and placed in Jail, where he
now is. Thompson was formerly
steamboat cook, and has been in this
city Off and on for year.

A Remarkable Case.
From the Daily Advertserl
The doctrine of advocacy, as maintain
ed by the legal profession, is sometimes Il
stumbling block and offence to conscien-
tlous persons who cannot well understand
how men of integrity can argue cases
which they know to be wrong. Stated in
that form it would be pretty difficult to
answer the objection. But this difficulty
| does not trouble one who remembers in
@il controversies there are two sides, and
! that it is impossible to tell which is the
right side until after an investigation,
conducted under the form Of law and with
| the aid of those tests which the wisdom
Of ages show to be most useful and eff
ticient. But it is said that persons charg
ed with crimes, who have confessed their
guilt. do not lack defenders at the bar
1t is sometimes q relief To those WHO
are troubled by this fact to be Informed
that men have often confessed themselves
| guilty of crimes which they never com
mitted, and the grosscSt injustice would
| have been done if there had been no law
