4 passenger who came from Morgan
CITY on the steamer Whitney, gives an ac-
count of an outrage that occurred at Mis-
sissippi Shoals, forty miles this side OF
MorgIn. 1t appears from his account that
a man, whose name he did not learn, and
two companions, boys, were in n small
boat on the gulf apparently in distress.
The helpers OF the lighthouse
rescued them. They were given shelter
in the light house, and during the night the
man arose, aud approaching one OF the
keepers William LccCh), who lay asleep,
struck him in the mouth with a hatchet.
Lcech arose to his feet to defend himself,
when the ruilian drew II pistol and fired at
him two or three times, intlicting hideous
wounds. The other keeper (Lynch) was
then attacked and wounded with a pis-
toll, when the ruilian retreatcd to
the top of the lighthouse, where he
remained in full possession for two days,
suffering non to 90 and refusing himself to
- - -.aa -AE
ment, he was satisfied 10 leave the light
house, the keepers having mean
while become so weak from the
loss of blood as to be unable
to offer resistance. He, with his friends,
two young men not above sixteen years
OF age, departed, taking the lighthouse
BOAT. The men at the lighthouse finally
got assistance and Il party, headed by the
telegraph operator at that point, went in
pursuit and captured the bastard, who was
found in the lighthouse boat. When ques-
| toned as to the whereabouts Of his friends,
| he answered that he had sent one Of them
down to the point for provisions
and the other in another direction on q
similar errand. His story, however, lacked
the elements of plausibility, and the belief
is that he threw them boil overheard after
| getting ont in the gulf. The rutlian was
taken to Morgan in the mlrning and jailed.
The lighthouse keepers ire seriously, but
it is understood not fatally wounded.

KAUFMAN, TEXAS, February %, 1882
On last Friday night a grand ball was given
here by the Knights of Pythias. 1t is said
to have been a huge SUCCESS. The gallant
knights, in their glittering regalia, consti-
tutcd one of the features of the evening.
Kaufman is well supplied with secret or
ders, as well as schools and churches. The
Knights of Honor, Knights of Pythias,
knights of the Golden Rule, and perhaps
several other life insurance bodies, all have
hourishing lodges here.
We have a fine literary society, conducted
under the auspices of some of our enter
prising ladies'. The exercises, which are
weekly, consist of select reading, Rotations
and music.
Captain CASTOR and Colonel S. Robertson.
of your city, were moving gracefully around
town a day or two since. They claimed to
to be down on a bird hunt, but if they
actually came down to theb ball l hope they
may be excused.
Speaking of hunting, is it not rather nice
for your sportsmen to live in Dallas when
the game law is in force, and come
down here and hunt during the prohibited
season. | am not blaming the boys, but it
is rather'a comfortable state of affairs Tor
them. The truth is, game ought to be pro-
tected everywhere, especially i'll this section
of the country.
There Will be q boom IN business mere
this spring, as soon as the weather settles
and building material can be had. Why
not
The Texas Trunk road will certainly get
on its feet soon.
The northeast extension ofthe II. & I. Cen
trail is foregone conclusion. Captain McCray
is now here organizing an extension force
for the cross-tie business. The engineer
corps are this side of the Trinity locating
the road.
Persons seeking homes or business
locations would d well TO look vt kaufman

DEYIsoN, March A distressing acct
dent occurred at the Union depot in this
city, on the arrival of the Central passenger
train this evening, by which two little girls,
aged respectively 6 and 3 years, received in
juries which will probably terminate fatally.
They were playing in the Central yard, and
as the train came in attempted to reach
the platform, but becoming bewildered
they both fell between the tender and
baggage-car. The train was stopped after
running eighteen feet. An arm of the
eldest was completely severed near the
shoulder, and she was otherwise injured
about the head and body. The youngest
had an arm and leg broken. 1t is thought
they can't recover. The children. with
their parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. n. Kinny,
came in on.the noon train from the north,
and were waiting to take the train for Fort
Worth.

Then Stacy got his rifle, and the officer re-

Ing discretion the better part OF %valor," he
again retrcated and sailed out for rein
forcements, and Stacy took to the brush,
along u little ravine running north Of town.
Lawrence and Terrell were soon in arms
and prepared to SCOUT the country for the
escaped prisoner, who was known to have
been wounded severely in the melee with
the officer. About this time Mr.. Overton,
living in the edge of town, went to draw
some hay from a stack near the ravine,
about u mile and a half from Stacy's house.
Here he found Stacy, who was pretty nearly
exhausted from pain and loss Of blood.
The officer was promptly notified and a
posse of men went out and brought in the
wounded man and took him to the hotel.
DIR. j.. ID. Stocking was summoned to dress
his wounds and found one bullet had gone
through the right arm between the elbow
and shoulder, not fracturing the bone. The
other and more serious wound was in the
back of the left shoulder, over the shoulder
blade, ranging downward toward the spine,
but in the partial examination made the
bullet was not found. The wounds were
b~audaged and the prisoner started by the
first train for Mckinney in company with
the sheriff. A letter received to-day from
Stacy says he is getting along well but the
bullet has not been found. Yesterday a
warrant was gotten out for the arrest of
Deputy Sheriff Below, the complainant al
