English coonists right heartily hailed his presence,
and for weeks had hoped that the noble stream rep

the delightful pastime of skating Their hopes were
fully realized as the river, from the mill and for
mile upward, had sheet of ice four inches thick, and
to this spot colonists were summoned to spend New

OFF FOR HUNFsVILLE.
APlstOl IL Found on One of the Con
viots Who Meant 10 Take Dcs-
perRte Chances.

A. L. Carmichael, the agent for Cunning
ham & Ellis, lesSeea of the penitentiary, for
transporting prisoners convicted, arrived in
the city Sunday evening and left lest even
ing with the following eonviets, sentenced by
Judge Aldredge on the 22l of January, to
the penitentisry:
Frank Flowers, theft of horse, seven years.
Henry Beverly, robbery, convicted In five
cases for two years each, ten years.
Hugh Galloway, theft of money, five years.
George Thompson, theft from person, three
years.
Major Majors, colorel, theft of horse, five
years.
William Green, colored, burglary, TIRES
years.
Joe Ooslson, convicted for three years of
the theft Of cattle appealed his case, and
Frank Witt, convicted for two years for
theft o. steer, has been granted q new
trial.
AS the convicts were chsined, preparatory
TO being taken to tho Texas IL Pacific depot,
they were subjected to rigid search, and a
neat silver mounted ivory handled six-shooter
was found on Frank Flowers person. He
was greatly pu. out on the officers
making this discovery, and said
that it had been given him by Henry Beverly.
Boverly's friends had visited him that morn
ing and the officers are inclined 10 the belief
that Flowers told the truth. The suppose
tion Is that Beverly meant 10 compel the
guard TO loose him and his comrades or shoot
him in the hope of getting the keys from
him and unlocking their shackles. AS the
prisoners passed through the streets under
guard they attracted considerable attention.
They are all men in tho prime of life, and
some ofthem leave families.
