IN DIRE DISTRESS.
The Proprietor of the Last Chance Rescued
From Drowning.


Saturday evening there was a rapid rise
in the Trinity river, and that night, before
he hardly had time to know it, the proprie-
tor of the Last Chance, who runs small
grocery and saloon in the river bottom,
about midway between the bridge and
bluffs, found that he vas surrounded by
water, which rose so rapidly that
the floor was soon covered with water three
feet deep. Seeing that he was in danger of
being drowned he put a favorte pup in a
box up on the shelving and lighting his
lantern, he swung it vigorously, giving
the signal of distress, which was
fortunately seen nv hoatman
who went to his aid and landed him safely
at the bridge. Directly after he had landed
he bethought himself of his dog, and a
second trip was made to the house and the
dog brou, hit over safe and sound. The
house, which is frame shanty-like build
ing, is securely fastened TO pieces which
are some six feet in the ground or else IL
would have washed away. Sunday morn
ing the river began to fall as rapidly as II
rose, and now the turnpike is almost clear
of water. Saturday night the house was
flooded seven feet deep with water.

Major Afford, as he was styled, the col
ored dancing teacher who formerly gave
lessons in this city to white children, has
been arrested and is in Jail at Gainesville, for
attempting to outrage one of his pupils, a
daughter Of Mr.. A. j. Brooks, prom
inent citizen of that place.
II was all the authorities
could do to prevent his being mobbed. His
accomplice, a negro, was taken TO Denison
for safe keeping. The Gainesville Register
gives the following account Of the affair, but
since that the parties have been arrested as
above stated. 1t says;
This morning we were shocked TO hear
thqt an attemp: had been made last night
TO outrage one Of our most respected and
accomplished young ladies, whose name We
withhold at the request of the family.
About u o'clock brutal negro entered the
young ladys room, or 1t may be that
he was concealed in the room before
she retired; at any rate, he seized her
while she was asleep. She made one scream,
and then the brute seized her by the throat.
There was no man about the premises to
protect her, but the heroic girl struggled
Hereby, and her mother being aroused
came TO her assistance and shouted for
help. The villain finding himself foiled in
his purpose, released her, fed through the
window and made good his escape.
"A young man who heard the cries arrived
Just ia time to see the sooundrel leaving.
This young man says he saw two leaving
together. and thinks there was
an accomplice on the out
side watching. We visited the
family this morning and heard the mother
give the particulars Of he liendish attempt,
and we felt that this was one case In which,
II the villain could be caught, we would
be willing to see the people take the law
into their hands and Inete.Out a terrible and
speedy punishment.
AT present no clue has been found ne to
who made the attempt All that is kn1wn
is that he was a negro and that he must
have known that the father and brother 81

4 Hold IIorac-Thicf

Now and then daredevil ola horse-thlef
makes one of those bold breaks that, for
cheek and GOODNESS, almost takes away ones
breath. Early last night Mr.. j. d. Carter
rode up to the Texas q Pacific depot and
aighting from his horse handed the hitch
rein TO u colored cxpressman, who was ST..
ting In his wagon, to mold
until he could go into the depot to
transact some business. Unfortunately, the
hitch-rein, instead Of being attached to thu
bit by buckle, had instead u spring snap.
Mr.. Carter had hardly gained the
depot when n stout, robust white
man, and stranger here stepped
up and in a iihy unsnapped
the hitch-rein anG, mounting the animal
before the astonished darkey could give the
alarm, dashed down Lamar street and
turned up Mckinney avenue, going at
John Gilpin speed. The officials Of the sur
towns have been telegraphed to
look out for him by City Marshal Arnold.
