UBIQUITOUS LAwTON.



Deputv Sheriff Weaver, during his re-
cent trip to Elko. accidentally struck the
trail OF the person who traded watch for
ahorse at Barondo's ranch, and who was
sunposed TO be Tom Lawton, the Sacra-
mento murderer. Mr.. Weaver found the
man in Elko where he interviewed him.
The ted person stated that he was q
tipsmith BY trade and was looking for
work, In regard to his recent travels he
gave an entirely different account from
previous statements but although
sstis6ed that there was some mys-
tory connected with the individual, Mr..
Weaver could not detect sufficient identity
with the published description Of Lawton
to warrant his arrest. Circumstances, how
ever, strongly indicate that he Is the same
person who traded in Paradise Valley the
watch which, according to the following
from the Sacramento Bee, has been idenii-
6cd as belonging to the murderer OF Tullis.
Taking everything into consideration we are
inclined TO the opinion that this section fur
nishes at present the best field for an ex-
pcrienced detective that can be found on
the Coast. This is what the Bee says:
Len Harris, special detective in the
employ OF the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, arrived in this city this morn
ing from trip over the eastern portion OF
the road. While on duty there he made
point Of inquiring at various places as to
the possibility Of Tom Lawton having been
seen. and was rewarded in his search by
meeting o gentleman who had seen the
man, supposed TO be Lawton, who had
traded watch TO Q vaquero in Paradise
Valley, Nevada, as mentioned in last Sat
urdsy's Bee. After obtaining from the
man he saw full description of the party,
which exactly corresponded with that given
Of Tom Lawton, Officer Harris learned
from him the number Of the watch which
Lswton traded, with view to bringing 10
10 this city for the use OF the officers en-
gagged in the search. On arriving here,
Harris met Deputy Sheriff Lee, and in
formed him Of what he had learned during
his trip through Nevada. Lee at once re-
quested OF Harris the number Of the watch
which was given him, whereupon Lee ex-
claimed, MY God chats Tom Lawton,
sure" and taking . memorandum book
from his pocket, Lee showed Harris the
same numbers, and stated that he had them

In the latter place, and who was garroted
and robbed several months since, at Twelfth

telegraph 10 officers in Nevada TO look out
for Lawton in the neighborhood OF the
place vhere he sold the watch, and at
points beyond. with view to ascertaining
the direction he has taken. The watch is

On Thursday evening about

-On Thursday evening about
7 o'clock Houston was the
scene of a cold-blooded assassi-
nation. The Telegram says
Adolpl Sollachtrupp, a peace
able, unoffendi,g, quiet citizen
of the Fourth Ward. was called
out of his house and shot to
death by an unknown man on
horseback. Twelve buckshot
entered the pit of the stomach.
passing through the body and
killing him instantly. The muir
derer put whip to his horse and
escaped. The murdered man
had been a citizen of Houston
for many years and was univer-
sally esteemed. The cause of
the murder is supposed to have
been mule that was stolen
from Scllaclitrupp some time
ago.
-It appears that the road
agents have established head
quarters at a place very appro-
priately named Robbers Hol-
low" and located IS miles west
of Fort Worth. On Thursday
another stage was attacked and
robbed at Robbers Hollow,
making the second or third rob-
berry within the past few days.
The good people of Tarrant
county are indignant that these
oft repeated robberies have not
attracted the attention of the
county authorities.
The Victoria dduOcate re-
ports the death Of Ms Margaret
White, aged SO; she had lived
in Victoria county since 1925.
1t also records the death of
Capt. John McHenry, of jack
son county. in the 8Ist year of
his rye. He was held as pris-
oner in Galveston island in
1919 having been captured by
Lafette, the pirate. Mr.. Rel
yin Sinclair of Nacognoches
county is also dead. He was a
member of Capt McLure's COM
pany in the revolution.
The Denison Artald de-
votes a column to Mrs. ]. S.
Brown, OF Pilot Point, who is
said possess an infallible cure
for cancer, derived from an In
dian doctor. Mrs. Brown is not
a quack, does not advertise and
does not seek nortoriety in any
way. Some of the cares effec-
ted by her are said to be re-
markable.
Mr.. Homer Anderson re-
lates to the Waco Esaminc,
how while travelling in Erath
county he took tramp into his
buggy to give him a lift and af-
ter riding mile or two drew a
bowie knife and attempted to
stab him. A tussel ensued in
which Anderson disarmed the
tramp and then threw him out.
"A man named t. J. Ander-
son, supposed to be from New
York, committed suicide on the
steamer 6. w. Thomas, while
on the way from Galveston to
Brazos river. He was found dead
in his bunk with bottle LABEL
ed morphine by his side.
Vigorous efforts are being
made by the sheriff of Harris
county to capture the assassins

Skipworth shows this portion of
our State was brought into the
Union. not by any treaty, not by any war or
conquest, but by n simple act OF Congress ex-
tending the limits Of the State Of Louisiana.
As this territory once enjoyed independence
and a government of its own, the question
arises whether its admttance into the Union
by this act, gave the Federal government the
ownership Of all it's public lands The rest of
this country was either purchased or con-
quered West Florida, however, like Texas

not protest against this union. IL was true
that there was no treaty or special under

The chiefs Of bureaus have made their
estimates for the coming year to fall within
the appropriations of the last session. This
was done to take from the Democrats thei :
hard-earned honors as the party of economy.
Besides. the Cabinet officers knew they would
get no more than was granted last year.
Chairman Atkins OF the Committee on Ap-
preparations, calls attention to the fact that
the Republican idea OF retrenchment does not
extend In the proper direction. They do not
propose the reduction Of the vast army Of
ofliceholders now preying upon the country.
This the Democratic party is unable to accom-
plish without Che assistance OF the executive
department. The enormous increase in official
patronage. which the heads of departments do
not propose to reduce, Is shown by Mr.. At

The Cincinnati Gazette insists that the
Bourbon journals Of Louisiana are discussing
with much solicitude the question as to
whether solid South will help or hurt the
South. The good Deacon has again been mis-
led by his wicked partners. The Bourbon jour
nails OF Louisiana are doing nothing Of the
kind. What they are solioitous about Is the
political decentralization OF the North The
solidity OF the South is a matter Of unmixed
qualification, In which they see only benefit
to the country at large.
