Respectfully,
Your obedient servant,

o. Nj. ROBERTS.
After obtaining a copy of the let
ter, which the governor kindly fur
nished us, conversation ensued
IN which Governor Roberts
gave expression to his views
on the university, adding many
practical, logical and profound
reasons why the state capt.
tai was the most suitable place for
the state university. Among these
reasons were two of special signifi-
canoe. First. That at the capt.
tai of Texas university students
would take in by absorption, uncon-
sciously; an immense amount of po-
litical. historical, legal and social in
formation, that they could never
learn under any circumstances else
where.
And, secondly, the vice that al
ways takes up its abode wherever a
university is founded, and which
would be prominent and aggres-
sive force of evil to the university if
it were located near a village, in the
country, would ifsituated In city the
size of Austin, be so separated and
scattered as to be deprived almost
entirely of any evil power what
ever. ia 3 nN

A TEAM SWEPT AWAY.

BY the rain of Friday night Elk river
and Back Creek, near Elkton, were
greatly swollen the water raising higher
than for years, and on Saturday after
noon serious mishap befel one of two
teams belonging TO Geo. p. Whitaker
which were returning to Elkton from
trip TO the ore mines. On arriving at
Mitchell's bridge the drivers found the
water rushing swiftly across the road at
each end but they decided 10 attempt the
journey across. The first team got over
safe, being piloted by George Whiteman
| on a powerful horse: the other driver
thought he could navigate alone and un-
dertook to cross. He was driving five
mules and very fine horse. Instead of
bearing close to the right he let the
mules swing to the LETT, and they plung.
| ed INTO deep hole. The current was
running very swift and they were carri-
ed from their feet and the wagon with
them. The driver jumping from hls sad
die barely escaped being carried down
the stream. He, however, managed to
reach the fence from which he was re-
scued. The team Aoated out into the
swift current and went down the creek.
AS turned with the current IN bend in
the creek they we're carried near shore,
aud luckily striking tree, the mules
were able to gel iu shallow water.
The men on shore fastened to theiI
rescue and unloosed them from the wa
gon, but, unfortunately, the horse wa:
found to be drowned. 1t was tied dowL
bya strap so that it could not get ti
head above water. The wagon seems tc
be firmly lodged along shore. The rig
ging, however, kept on dow n the stream
aud soon passed the iron bridge and lodg
ed about half mile below, where thf
water eddies. The horse drowned wa.
valued at $400.
