ton and Wilbarger.

The fact that Governor Ireland has |
called for report from the comptrol- |
Ter of the accounts of the state up to |
October l indicates determination
to call an extra session Of the legiSla- |
ture, as otherwise the data in any |
other shape would be sufficient for his |
general information. If called, the |
fence cutting disturbances will doubt |
less be one Of the important subjects
that will be suggested for the action
of the legislature.

A letter of the Goth inst. from Cor
poral Lindsey, written in Hamilton
county, states that he finds matters
quiet at present. He had conferred
with good citizens. and thu troubles
were at an end. He saw Cox who,
with number of others, have sheep,
and they apprehend no trouble what
ever. He went to Bosque county and
took to Hamilton Mr.. Riley, who was
the man beaten about the 18th Of
August by sheep killers, and Processes
to recognize two men who are now
under arrest, as parties concerned in
the affair. These two men 80 said to
be among the best citiz ms in the
county and believed to bt inl0cent.
His opinion is that no goot. can be
done there by the rangers at present.
The condition of affairs is such that
unless a good detective is aided by the
citizens, nothing will come of any
effort to punish the parties. The tx
element he thinks, has about sub
sided.
Sergeant Platt writes, September
%, from Clay county, report
ing everything quiet at present. No
man can be found who can or will
make affidavit against any one about
fence cutting. 1t is not known here,
he says, who killed Butler for fence
cutting. 1t Is mistake about Glib
son and Golfer having been wounded,
as first reported. 1t appears that
while Butler and his associates were !
some fifteen miles away their own
fences were cut. This looks like |
there was no cOlluSlOn among the |
parties. The sheriff says it is not
necessary to keep the rangers in the
county.
FISH COMMISSIONERS.
Fish Commissioner Lubbock has a
considerable supply of carp, which he
wishes to send out to applicants before
cold weather.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
The board of education has made
requisition upon the comptroller for
$4,000 permanent school fund to buy

of dollars which, under the law, they |
can invest in county or other bonds. |
The board of directors of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical college, hav-
ing charge of the Sam Houston nor
NAL institute, has made requisition !
also upon the comptroller for $10,551 !
of the appropriation made for i'm
provements to the institution.
