Water

Mr.. ]. Dlckey, who runs market wagon
in the country arrived in the city yesterday
morning from Rockwell county, bringing
news of killing about five miles from

ing late to get jug of water
for drinking purposes and in some way they
got up dispute as to who owned the jug.
They quarreed for some time just as two
boys will, and one word brought on another
until they came to blows, and in the scutlle
that ensued the youngest pulled out a
sharp iacknife and stabbed or rather cut
his brother across the abdomen, almost
disembowelinghi him. Seeing his brotheriallto
the ground apparently dead, he turned
and walked home and told his father what
he had done. The woNnded boy was taken
home and fingered until Saturday evening,
whenhe died. Prior to the falling out they
had been on the very best of terms. This
is one instance of this, character in which
water figured instead of whisky.

SAN ANTONIO, July 12.-Den Thompson,
city marshal of Austin, who killed Jack
Harris here last night, appeared this morn.
ing and surrendered to City Marshal
Sheridan. At the inquest held TO day, the
jury retur ned verdict of death from n pis-
toll In the hands of Thompson. Thompson
was pla ced in the county Jail, where he now
is. Habeas corpus examination to fix bail
takes place tomorrow. Harrisis said to be
the thirteenth man that Thompson has
killed, having always been cleared on the
plea Of self-defense. Harris in this instance
held shotgun, but the evidence does not
show that he attempted to use it and many
think that Thompson has run his cal eer.
He has many friends, however, who are
from Austin and elsewhere, prepared to 60
his bond in any amount ii the case is de-
clared q bailable one. Thompson does not
appear concerned as to the result, trusting
TO his ability to have the plea OF self-defense
sustained The ablest counsel of the state
have been retained for the defense. This is
regarded as the most generally interesting
case of the kind that ever occurred in Texas.
SAN ANTONIO, July 13.-Ben Thompson,
city marshal of Austin, who killed Jack
Harris, proprietor of q vaudeville theatre in
this city, Tuesday night, was to-day re-
manded to Jail without bail. lie has a
habeas corpus examination on the 25th.
The evidence against him appears to be
very strong. indicating that he shot Harris
while the latter stood under. an cleo
side near the sidewalk curbing. Harris
had shotgun in his hand, but
there was no proof that he made an attempt
to use it. Thompson has employed the
ablest counsel of this city, and Austin peo-
Pile friendly to Thompson are indignant
that he should be jailed without bond, but
our authorities are determined to hold him
and prosecute to the fullest extent of the
law. The case cxcites great interest all
over the state and the characters of the two
men are being generally written up by the
press Harris was a direct lineal descend
ant of General Putnam, of Revolutionary
fame, and his mother and family now re-
side in Connecticut.
