perate attempt was made to

discovered a hole cut through
the floor of a cell and had iron
ed the FIVE prisoners that oecu-
pied it. viz: Richard Coward, w

given; the fire department re-
sponden promptly and the
flames were extinguished. Ad-
dirional precautions were taken
with the birds.

stockmen think the heel flies
have caused the death of as
many of their cattle this spring
asthe cold winter through which
they have just passed.

from San Antonio on the 3Ist
ult. A deputy sheriff found
Tom lying under a live oak tree
and demanded his surrender, he

= Four negro prisoners in
The Bastrop Jail became refrac-
tory and having obtained pos
session of some spikes nailed
up their cell door. They threat

= The pleasanton Journal,
March 26, reports the entire
western and southern sections
of the state suffering from
drought. Grass is very scarce
and drinking water is hardly to

ty, on the goth ult. A writ was

Some days ago an account

= Currie. the murderer of
Porter, maintains his confident
air-says he has plenty of mon
ey and won't be hung-that he
acted in self-defense and after
the newspaper war is over he
will get a trial and come clear.
If he gets a speedy trial and
gets hung, he will be served
right. He killed two men at
Ellsworth, Kansas, yet Texas
gets credit for him as Texas
murderer.
