FORT WORTH, June 9.--At 10
o'clock this morning, when the cham
bermaid of the Ell Paso hotel opened
room No. 81 she was Mortified to find
Robert y. Rozell, a well known cotton
buyer, stark and cold in death. Rozell
had just returned from San Antonio,
where he had been for his health,
He had visited his wife, who
left him at Little-R6clN some two
months ago because of drunkenness

some time with him, when he got up
abruptly and went out. Later he went

purchased ten grains of morphine,
which he took and retired. The jury

A most horrible tragedy occurred
in the county lunatic asylum at $50
tonight, resulting in the death of
mailman named Monroe Wilson. a
young man % years of age, from Mis-
Sissippi. This evening he was COM
mitted to the crank house on account
of symptoms Of insanity, caused by
strong drink. The asylum is
two-room frame house. In one
room are two insane women
and in the other two insane
men. In the latter Wilson was placed.
Hardly had the door been locked
when Frank Hayes, most violent
lunatic, got in a quarrel. Wilson
seized "a chair and struck Hayes over
the head. The latter pulled barlow
knife out of his pocket and with a
hideous yell sprung at Wilson, plung-
ing the knife into the hollow of his
throat. He literally forced two ribs
into Wilson's heart and killed him,
and then jumped on the body and
plunged the knife into his throat,
face and body again and again, yelling,
curSing and screeching in a horrible
manner. The third lunatic was in
the meantime crouching in corner
of his cell muttering piteously and
covering with fear. AS soon as the
alarm was given three officers entered
and after a desperate encounter Sc
cured Hayes, who fought like tiger.
| Sheriff Maddox says he could not
place the men in Jail properly as they
were not criminals, and blameS the
commissioners for not providing him
with house with several cells. Hayes
is now raving maniac and has been
placed in irons. Wilson was higF 'y
connected.
| DALLAS, June 9.-Judge Aldridge..
of the district court, to-day in habeas
corpus proceedings released Mr.. and
Mrs. Delgardo, confined in the county
jail the past week charged with kid
mapping the two children of Mrs.
Brundage. The accused are refined,
high-toned Castillians, and the prose-
cution appears extremely unjust, as
they produced a full set of papers
properly prepared from Mrs. Brun-
dage giving them the children. They
will no doubt institute proceedings to
3 recover possession of them, and Will
= proceed against Mrs. Brundage for
malicious prosecution and for perjury,
