Badly Cut in the Face.

A drunken Irishman strolled into
Huber saloon, near Cochran Hall this
forenoon, and made himself offensive
to the inmates. The ~barkeeper's tenn
per was aroused, aud he undertook to
eject the intruder without ceremony
or regard for the personal feelings of
the soaked visitor. In showing him
out of the 9Ont door, the man fell
across an iron bar, by which the collar
door is fastened, and he was cut en-
tirely across the cheek, one side Of the
face being torn open to the bone, and
making a fearful cash, from which as
much as a gallon Of blood poured
forth. The injured person was carried
into the back yard, and surgical aid
administered by DR.. Ess. The mans
name was John Ryan, and he was con
.yeycd to the hospital.

Fair Isabelle had enough mystery
about her to charm ladies Of high sta
ton, and, consequently to get their
sympathy, All that was known about
her was that she lived in an elegant
apartment in the Champs Elysees.
She arrived in Paris five months ago
accompanied by a young man who was
her lover. She called herself a Span
lard, and a relation of Don Carlos.
The report was spread by her lover
among certain members Of the aristo-
cratic world, who, touched by the mis-
fortunes of the lady, fastened to put
at her disposal large sums Of money,
which she wal to pay back after the
liquidation Of certain properties which
she pretended to have In Spain. Among
those who took an interest in her
was a priest, whose brother occu.
pies a brilliant position in the
army, The priest appears to have
passed a great deal of his time in the
company Of Isabelle, who abused his
intimacy so far as to pass him off as
her brother before many of her trades
men. In order the better to gain his
confidence, she proposed to him one
day to 60 with her to Spain in order
to settle her affairs more promptly,
because she had need Immediately Of
a large sum of money. The priest,
who could not accept such PROPOSE,
tons, offered his guarantee toa usurer,
who consented to lend the money
which the pseudo Spanish lady re.

backed bills for several thousands of
francs, and pledged his fine collection
of pictures. At this stage of events
it was discovered that Isabelle was

An ENTERPRISING LAWYER
An attorney and counsellor at
law living at railroad station
west of BRENNAN had a horse
stolen from him 4 few days ago.
He followed the thief to Lee
county where he made affidavit
and had him arrested and also
recovered the stolen horse.
The thief and horse were
brought back to the railroad
station west of BRENNAN and an
examination was had before
the justice of the peace result
ing in the commitment Of the
horse thief to the Washington
county Jail. This part of the
transaction is all regular; the
singular part of it is: The at
torney and counsellor at law
from whom the horse was stolen
and who of course is the princi-
pal, if not only witness against
him, has engaged to defend
the thief. Is there another in
stance on record or another at
torney and counsellor at law in
all the great state OF Texas who
would engage to defend man
who stole 4 horse from him.

cessful trip until he arrived at
the throat of the chimney, here
he stuck and could neither get
up nor down; being thoroughly
entrapped he was afraid to
make any outcry. The lady in

was surprised as well as scared
at the sight of a pair of legs
dangling in the chimney place,
the remainder of the individual
to whom the legs belonged be-

called, a rope procured and a
purchase rugged by which the
darkey was hoisted out. He
thinks it will be a long time be-
fore he spends another night in
