The Butte (Montana) Miner gives a
brief account of the preliminary examine
ton OF Anna Parker, one Of the. /" girls"
who was before Justice O'Meara for . hear
ing. The Justice took until the following
morning to decide. Meantime Miss Parker
was placed in charge OF Constable Owens,
by the Under Sheriff, pending the decision
Of the Court. The Constable took her to
her domicile, and everything ran smooth
for a while. Miss Parker told the Consta-
BILE it was necessary for her to go into
another room for a few minutes, and the
gallant Captain, blushing slightly, let her
slip into the side room. Waiting . while.
and his charge not appearing, the Consta-
BILE entered the room, when another female
who was in the room, informed him that
Miss Parker had just swallowed q large
dose Of laudanum. Miss Parker asserted
that she would rather Gle than go TO iail.
The Constable quickly informed the Un-
der Sheriff and a physician was summoned.
The doctor gave her powerful emetics, and
Miss Parker, with apparent reluctance,
threw up the poisonous drug, thereby pre-
venting q suicide. On the following
morning Anna was brought before Justice
O'Meara, apparently none the worse for
her attempt at self-destruction. The JUS
tice held her in the sum of $500 bail for
her appearance to the Grand Jury. She
was placed in the custody Of the Under
Sheriff. but during the day she secured
the required amount of bail. The defen-
dant is charged with having on the night
Of Oct. 8, in Aliens Saloon, on East Park,
robbed Dominic Pinney Of the sum Of
$500 by taking the money out Of his pants
pockat.

FIne Prices for WOOl-A Man
Who Is After u Fortune.

san Antonio Express, Oct. I'll
Mr.. II. c. Griner, Of Kinney coun-
ty, last evening sold his fall clip of
wool, about 5000 pounds, for 25i
cents per pound. This is the best
sale made so far this fall.
Mr.eJ. o. Sullivan, of Kinney coun-
ty, has just sold his clip of 1900
pounds of wool for 243 cents per
pound. Dir. Henderson was the pur-
chaser in both these cases.
Mr.. Philip Palmer, Of Kinney
county, is in the city again. and in a
conversation with an Express reporter
last evening stated that it was his in
tention to remove his family from his
ranch on Elm Greek, Kinney county,
to this city, and that he himself would
20 beyond the Peeos. Mr.. Palmer
stated that he had just sold out his
Elm Creek ranch to the Woodruff
Bros. for $1,000. This does not in
clude his sheep. He has also sold out
the cattle on his Pedro Pinta ranch
for S12 per head, Ed. Rutledge, OF
Frio county, being the purchaser.
There are about eleven hundred head
Of cattle. Mr.. Palmer says he will re-
move his flock Of sheep, 5000 in num-
Der, valued at 81 80 per head, to his
newly established ranch beyond the
Pecos. When the railway from San
Antonio to III Paso is completed, Mr.
Palmer thinks it will be very conven-
lent to him TO have his family in this
city, and his ranch a few hundred Of
miles west.
From the data above given, the
reasonable reader will observe that
Mr.. Palmer is a man worth about
$4,000, and considering this it may
be interesting to give a few fact;
about Mr.. Palmer's rise in the world.
In 1870 he went to Uvalde county,and
was employed by Mr.. Griner, senior,
the father of H. @. Griner, to herd
sheep on shares. In this way he got
his start. He became the owner of a
small flock, which he removed to Elm
Greek, a short distance east Of Brack.
