Fortunate and sought III every way 10
induce compliance with his wishes.
At last she consented saying: II will
marry you in April"
In the excitement and joy Of the mo-
ment Mr.. Gray threw his arms around
her waist and drew her to him with
quick, passionate embrace. He was
not conscious Of rNerting unusual
strength, and does not believe that he
did. But the girl gave II short, sharp
scream, and eNcIaiming "Oh Charley,
I'm gone fell dead in his
arms, her head resting on his
shCu der. His frantic cries alarmed the
FANNY, who came rushing into the
room to find the pitiful sight ofthr dead

arrived within an hour. Hut nothing
could be done. The young lady was

4 Murderer Murdered,

Intelligence was received by Unite,
states Marshal kernS, of Philadelphia
from Los Vegas, New Mexico that
James Currie, the slayer of Porter tn,
actor i'll Texas, was shot and killed al
that place on last Thursday. The in
! formation of the Marshal was somewhat
mraGrr, hut the leading points IN the
affair were given "a the effect that
Curri" was on a spree and threatened TO
Kill several p,Uplc, among whom was u
bartender, who, i'll sclt7lricnrc shot The
desperate.
A party Of railroadrrS, friends of
Curric, attempted 10 lynch the shooter,
but were prevented 10y the Sheriff. The
Noroner's Jury at once returned YER
dict Of shooting in Selt-deteucc.
James Curriu was "A railroad engineer
and at the outbreak Of the war enlisted
IN an Ohio regiment and scrvsl GAL
lantly. Ii" afterwards was engaged on
u Kansas railroad, and one day having
run An excursion train to Lawrence, be-
came engaged iii a deadly encounter
with party of his enemies in i saloon
OF that place. He vanquished the party
and made his escape on his engine. He
attcrward killed two men in attravs in
Kansas and then joined the regular
army, serving aS scout under General
Custer. Aftcrward drifting To Texas, |
he was the means Of affecting the cap. |
tur" of Sam Bass and his noted gang of,
railroad robbers.
The murder of Porter and the wound |
ing Maurice Barrymore ut Marshall, /,
Texas, is still fresh in the minds Of the !
public.
