SHERMAN, August II, 1850.
Yesterday was celebrated the annual gath
ering of the old settlers of North Texas. The
day was as perfect as an August day could
be. A brisk breeze nearly all the time rem
dered it pleasant. At 1890 a. IA. the ex-
ercises of the day were opened by Hon. W.
w. Wheat, introducing Mr.. Jack Harvey,
who made quite an interesting talk of some
minutes, and who was followed by Mr.. g.
B. Wandelhor, who delivered an address,
welcoming the old settlers to our town and
county. The picnic will continue four days.

city on his way to Alabama, hay
ing in charge two men named Thompson.
Mr.. Finstone had tracked the murderers of
his son, land who had to kill him. from
Alabama, in which state they had committed
their crime, near two years ago. They shol
Daniel Finstone and killed him, besides
wounding the father in the body and in the
right hand. After the deed was done the
murderers fed to Texas, where they have
been in, safety, as they fancied, until las /
June, when they became alarmed and fed to
the nation. Mr.. Finstone got on their trail
in Cook county in July last and with the
patience of an Indian, he followed up the
clue which finally resulted in their capture
last week in the neighborhoo1 of the Yellow
Hills, in tho Chickssaw nation. They were
brought here last Saturday and placed in
Jail. Yesterday, on the strength Of a requis-
