comb & Cohn's saloon. Bishop asked
the barkeeper where Cannon was, and

by twenty-nine buckshot Bishop
has statewide reputation, as
he has been city marshal
and constable of this place for about
four years. During this time he has
killed two men. Cannon is young

promises success with busiRess men.
In the preliminary trial to-day he was
put under 5000 bonds, which was
given 10y eight or ten of our princinal
business men. The remains of Mr..
Bishop were inferred this evening at 5

disappeared some time ago, no one
ever hearing from him.

among the colored people.

Special TO the Gazette.
Waco, November s.. Hon. George
Clark and James Richey, ESQ.,, left
for Tyler this morning to argue in the
supreme court the case of the Texas q

In the time specified in the con-
tract. Subscribers in the meantime
had paid, some 90 and some 40per cent.
of their subscriptions. When the road
failed to reach here in the time speci-
fled subscribers refused to pay any
more. This suit is for the unpaid bal
ance of Seley's subscription, and it
will be q test case for all the other sub
scribers. If the road wins they will
have to pay up every cent. The
amount claimed by the road, unpaid
balance, will aggregate nearly $50, 900.
Judge Clark represents the Texas Il
st. Louis, and Mr.. Richey appears for
Seley, who is II prominent broker
here.
About two months ago the Waco

tanned the statement that one Mrs. IL.

default of giving bond for appearance
before the county coIrt. She was new
er Jailed but gave bond and had her
trial to-day, the ease against her being
dismissed. The court decided her
state license was sufficient, and she
| had violated no law. She wanti this
fact known in Fort Worth, as she says
she has many friends and acqsaint-
ances there.
There is II report here, pretty well
authenticated, that the Texas d st.

shops and workmen from McGregor to
Waco.
