Fort, Worth, Oct. 25.-The assassination
of Richard p. Bull while asleep in the Cen
trail wagon yard, Saturday night, has
awakened much sympathy and investiga-
tion. He was recently editor of paper in
Gainesville, Arkansas, but has been here ever
and anon for the last month as private
detective. From the best information it
seems that he was in warm persuit of GER
tain offender, and that to further his object
he hired to farmer named W. II. Want,
who lives near Mansfield, and had placed his
clothing in his wagon and gone to sleep.
Sunday morning at $3.50 o'clock he was dis
covered in the wagon stupefed from blow
with the back of an axe, just over the left
eye. His skull was mashed. He contiued in
state of unconscousness until GEAR IL
o'clock Sunday night, when he died. Cards
were found in his pocket stating number OF
cases in which he had succeeded as a detect
i've; also letter from his sister "Mattie," "
of Elkin, Tennessee; also an uumailed
postal card, addressed to L. G. Meriwether,
at Gainesville, Arkansas. Several causes of
the assassination are argued. One is that
Bull was supposed to be Want, who had just
sold his cotton and had drawn several hun.
dred dollars out of bank, but the most reas.
enable conclusion is that he was killed by
the man whom he was pursuing.

the fingers. The hand was swollen similar to
the effects of a spider or snake bite. The boy
drank quart and half of whisky, and was
kept under its influence for two days, when
the swelling went down, and no more whisky
was given him, but it took about two weeks
before the boy was entirely free from the
effects of the sting and the whisky. No flesh
dropped off nor any other effects different
from spider or a snake bite.

They had a tornado on trial in the
circuit court at Madison, Wisconsin.
A resident of Mineral Point sues an
insurance company to recover on his
house, which was destroyed in the
frightful tornado of May, 1879. And
to do this he must prove that light
ming and not wind was the destruc.
tive agent. The testimony for the
plaintiff states that a cloud was Oh.
served which approached with great
rapidity. AS it drew near it assum.
ed funnel or ba.Oon shape, was of
inkv blaekness, and whirIed about
violently. In this cloud were con-
slant and vivid flashes of lightning,
and continuous and terrific roar of
thunder proceeded from it. Some
witnesses said they saw ball of fire
in the lower part of the cloud, and
that lightning darted from it in ev-
cry direction. One witness compar
ed the nre-ball to the headlight of a
locomotive approaching at full speed,
and the noise to the roar of a long
freight train, both indefinitely mag
nitied. 1t was shown that part Of the
debris Of the house was found on fire
shortly after the tornado passed, and
that the fire probably could not have
come from any source i'll the house
itself. A wOman's face and a part of
her hair were burned. Leaves and
grass were withered as with frost,
and turned black /; trees from eight
to fourteen inches in diameter were
denuded of all their bark, even to
the ends of the smallest branches !;
trunks of trees were shattered into
strings, and instantly dried of sap !;
pine shingles were driven into white
oaks. Professors of the State uni-
versity were called for the defence,
and gave it as their belief that the
destructive force of the tornado was
wind.
