falling steadily for thirty hours, and is still
coming down. White River rose over five

Hit ON the Face.

On Friday last Mr.. Il. III. Portman,
the tailor, whose shop and residence
Is In the old building opposite the FL
Passo hotel, was hit on the cheek by \
stone thrown By boot black named
Johnny Moore, causing n painful con-
fusion and considerable temporary dis
figurement. The negro boy, a small. bat
vicious fellow was arrested on Sunday
last by Officer Cocker aud committed
TO the lookup.
Being too youthful to punish in the
regular way, short term in the Gala
boose is the only penalty the recorder
can iniiict on Johnny. In this con-
nettion the GazBrTE calls attention
to the fact that since the flying
jennics were established ON the
vacant lot in the rear of Mr.. Port.
mans place, idle boys have been con
grega.ed at all hours there, and unless
the nuisance is abated, serious results
may occur at any time. The negro
who struck Mr.. portman belonged TO
the gang that is to be seen day and
night about the iennies.

Fully "Not" identified.

Recurring to the case of Frank Hick-
ey, whose fortunate resemblance TO
Charles Eilcs, the murderer of officer
McCarty, of Denison, procured for him
remission of sins committed in this
city, considerable notorieiy, together
with free ride To Sherman, the
GAZETTE has only to add that a lesson
il TO be learned from this pulling re-
semblance of one man to another.
That lesson is not to arrive hastily at
conclusion. On the night of Hick-
ey's arrest, as soon us he was brought
to The light, officers Scott, Bicycle, and
Others observed the markings, and at
once referred to the descrip-
ton of Ellis, contained in
Marshal Farmers catalogue of crimi-
nails. But, two days before Hickey
was taken away, the GAZETTE an
nounced that Hickey was himself and
nobody else. Twelve Denson men
examined him carefully, and one out
of the twelve was for conviction, this
was Brown the Il. 4 p. brakeman,
Brown said, II have seen this man ut
Denison and took a drink with him
the night before McCarty was shot,
and | know him by his finger The
others declared Hickey too old To be
Ellis. Campbell said: Suffering and
fear will make man haggard but it
won't change the fluffy beard of a
boy to the wiry whiskers
OF man of thirty, this is not Ellis"
Learning from parties here from Ma
varro county that II man named Frank
Hickey had actually been shot, and
shot in the back, and was, in all re-
spects, such man AS Hickey the
GAZETTE was as certain of its ground
as was Davy Crockett of old when
asked in regard to the name of Il GER
tain animal. If anyone is inclined to
doubt further that Hickey is Hickey
the following from the Sherman
Courier will convince him;
Frank Hickey was brought over
to sherman yesterday by Marshal
Hardwick for identification as the
man who killed policeman McCarty
at Denison. Hardwick telegraphed
Marshal Thornton of Bonham TO come
over and see if he was the right man.
Thornton says he has every mark, and
resembles the murderer Charles Ellis,
but he is not Ellis. On this statement
the prisoner was released.
The GAZETTE writes thus fully to
show that"it was cold day yesterday
also to show how "clumsiiy' it handles
facts. Sabe, young man?
