SHOT "HIssELF." Monday a
son of Mr.. Tom Matchct, aged
about 3or Ia years, was "pro-
jecting" with young and ap-
parently innocent little single
barrel pistol, known to the
trade as a vest-pocket derringer,
when the "tarnal' thing went
off-result: a cylindrical hole
through the fleshy part of the
hand between the index finger
and thumb. The BANNER is
creditably informed and has
every reason to believe that a
large number of small boys in
Brennan, whose ages range
from ten to twenty years are in
the habit of carrying little pis-
tolls of the derringer pattern,
single barrel cartridge shooters.
This practice is very reprehen-
sible and we have no doubt
but that a cart load of these
villianous little pistols are car
ried round in the boys pockets.
There is, we believe, a law
against selling fire arms to mi
nors; it should be strictly en-
forced.

MUSICAL CONCERT The
concert by Mrs. Pressley's mus
ic class, at the opera house on
Monday evening was well atten-
ded, one ofthe most fashionable
audiences we have ever seen in
the city being present. With
one or two minor exceptions
the programme was fully carried
out. The several tabieaus
were beautifully arranged and
admirably acted. The piano
playing and singing by the pu-
pills was splendid, many ofthem
displaying extraordinary prof.
ciency. Our space does not
admit of going into particulars;
suffice to say that Mrs. Presley
is deserving of the highest praise
and the concert was a most
complete success financially and
otherwise.

ARREsTED.-A young man
named August Hodde has been
arrested and taken to Indepen-
dence, on the charge of muir
dering young Sprein. 1t seems
from what we can learn the
affair grew out of jealousy.
Hodde had been paying his
addresses to a young lady in
the neighborhood, had proposed
and was rejected; after this
Sprein paid his addresses to her,
proposed and was accepted /;
the wedding day being fixed in
the near future. This news, it
is supposed so incensed Hodde
that he took his gun and going
to the field where Sprein was at
work shot and killed him in his
tracks, Hodde was arrested
upon the evidence of negro
woman who saw him ride up
with gun, dismount and climb
over the fence and go into the
corn; she heard the report of a
gun and saw the smoke; she
then seen him return with the
gun, mount his horse and ride
off.

BURGLARY. - On Tuesday
night the saloon of B. Leh-
mann, on the corner of Sandy
and St. Charles streets, was en-
tered and a caddy of the best
chewing tobacco containing
about IL pounds, a box or two
Of fine cigars and a number of
silver plated bar spoons were
carried off. The operators eff
fected an entrance by climbing
through the transom on one of
the front doors. They let them
selves out by opening a window
fronting on Sandy street. Mr..
Lehman closed up about II
o'clock, and of. course has no
idea what time the operators"
did the JOB.

A NEWLY MARRIED MAN
SKIPS.
A FINE PAIR OF MULES AND a
WAGON sKIPs, TOO.

Harry Hamlet, who married
a Mss Mears, a beautiful and
accomplished young lady of
Georgetown, Williamson coun-
ty, some twelve months ago,
and who with his wife moved to
Long Point, in this county,
some four months since
has taken French leave. On
the 18th of June, Mr.. Hamlet
hired two fine mules from Mr..
Craig and wagon from Mr..
Adams for the ostensible pur-
pose Of going to Rockdale on
business, since which time moth
ing was heard from him until
last Monday evening when his
wife received letter dated
Montgomery, Ala, in which he
stated that he would leave the
same night for Jacksonville,
Fla , from whence he would go
to Cuba. In the letter he told
his wife that she was an angel,
but that he himself was "dev-
ill.," and we rather suspect, as
nothing has been heard of the
mules or wagon, that Craig and
Adams think he told the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth.
He further stated that when he
left he had made up his mind
never to write to her, but on af-
ter consideration he had con-
Guided to write for fear she
might think he had been foully
dealt with and that she would
never hear from him again.
HAMLET is evidently a hard
case and the probability is his
wife is much better off without
him.

Cow SKINNING.-A, day OF

Invested a defunct COW of her
skin and left her carcass on the

it is difficult to fix upon the

gravely suspected. Complaint

shade of the "big sycamore" on

ira horse tied to the hind end
of the wagon. this horse being
unused to city ways got on the
sidewalk and got arrested; it
was duly impounded in the
park surrounding the bastile.
The owner not being aware of
the law the horse was delivered
to him.

More Murders.

A young man named Sprein,
a tenant on Maj. Dailcy's farm,
eight miles northeast of town,
was found dead in the field
about noon Wednesday with a
bullet hole through his breast.
He was boarding with a man
named Schultz and left with his
mule after dinner on Tue: day
and is supposed to-have been
killed about 3 o clock; when his
body was found the mule was
still standing in the furrow hitch
ed to the pillow; deceased was
lying under the handles. Sprein
had the reputation of being an
honest, industrious and peacea-
BILE young man, and was never
known to have had any difficult
ty with anybody. The shoot
ing and its cause is d profound
mystery and no one in the
neighborhood has any idea who
the murderer is. The body lay
in the field near the Brenham
and independence road.
Tuesday, a difficulty occurred
on the Taylor place near indie
pendence, between a couple of
negroes (names rot learned)
about some hogs, in which an
old negro man called Dave
struck the other over the
head with a stick; the
younger negro turned up
on Dave and made fight.
Dave called to his son for his
shot gun; the boy brought it
out and gave it to him when he
fired killing the young negro in
stantly. Dave and his son were
arrested and taken before JUS
tice Willie, who held a prelimi-
nary examination and admitted
both to bail.

THE Georgetown SIM calls
the attention ofits business men
to the importance of working
the road between Georgetown
and Liberty Hill. This re-
minds us of the fact that the
road across Mill creek bottom,
in this vicinity, becomes almost
impossible in the winter season
and for this reason much cotton
that would find a market in
Brennan is hauled off to points
on the Sunset route. Cannot
the business men of Brennan
by a united effort, have the
road put in order?
