KANGAROO JUSTICE,

Up here We call It Lynch law, but down IN
Texas the term Is too mild and they give il
the more vigorous name Of kangaroo law. A
conspicuous case Of its administration Occurr-
ed on Sunday at little town named Orange,
on the Texas and New Orleans railroad. For
months past the place had been dominated by
gang OF desperadoes. One Of The most noted
among them was o. l.. Delno, whom detec,
tive named Wood had shot in an attempt to
arrest, and against whom the vengeance of the
lang was at once directed. But sheriff Mich
ell had helped Wood to get away, and now a
plot was laid to shoot The sheriff A noted ne.
gro rufiian named Sa n Saxon WA, to raise a
row, SO as TO have the sheriff pursue him,
where half dozen of the . 6 lay In ambush.
The plot succeeded and a. the sheriff IN pur.
SUIT passed the ambuscade he was fred upon
and probably MORALLY wounded This so en-
ragged the decent people Of the town that they
armed themselves to man resolved to destroy
the desperadoes. They secured the woods,
with the deputy sheriff at their head, and The
same day caught four Of the desperadoes and
shot them, one of them, after being torture d,
confessing that Deno WAS the author of the
plot to shoot the sheriff. Next Delno was
captured and placed in JAIL with several olrer
members Of the gang, II strong guard being
placed around the Jail. In the night. however.
finding all quiet, the guard dispersed, and soon
afterwards about 20 armed men surrounded
the Jail and compelled the jailor to open the
door. They took out Sam Saxon and another
negro and shot them, deciding to try Delno
next day by Kangaroo court. Deno, howev.
|er who has several brothers also connected
with the gang, is connected Ivy marriage with
some Of the best families in the neighborhood
who had enough influence to have him re.
leased on bail. As, however. quite number
of the gang are still at large, it is believed
when his trial comes off there will lie more
trouble. The gang have beeL the terror of The
heighborhood for years, giving the town a bad
name ana paralyzlng IT. business. and the de
termination is that the whole band of outlaws

THE HOWGATE STINK.

The corruption which long republican rule

year or two ago as an arctic explorer. Like

Howgate had been entrusted with the dlsburse
ment OF large sums OF money tor which he was
