THE TOWN OF COTULLA.
A Party Which Wants to Rule a County
With Shot Guns.

Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
CoTULLA, Tex, February "a, ISS3.-Co-
tuIla is little town situated on the Interna-
tional road between Laredo and San Antonio.
Its population is between FIVE and six hundred
1t is guarded by the State police, Captain Sc
crets in command, Captain McRinney's COM
pany having been relieved. There are about
twenty-five business houses, one hundred
residences, fifty tents and a good hotel. 1t
also has commodious lecture room. Captain
Bill Tucker'does most of the lecturing. His
principal subject is the "IIog Leg" If the
boys will listen to his lectures it will prove
beneficial.
Cotulla is not the robbing and numbering
town it is represented. The citizens are gen
tlemanly and very courteous. Mr.. Tompkins,
the present sheriff, is very nice gentleman, a
brave and efficient officer. From all accounts
LaSalle county has been badly represented.
1t has been bulldozed in the late election for
sheriff by men and officers that ought to pro-
tect elections.
There are two parties in La Sale county
One party wants to run it with State police
men and breech-loading shotguns. The other
party wants to run it in law-abiding manner
They want their sheriff and his deputies.
State policemen are no more needed in La
Sale county than they are in Webb or Bexar,
even not as in Webb, for it has scarcely been
two weeks since a cold-blooded murder was
perpetrated at Webb station. What did the
State Police do? Rode around in the chap
paral, gave up the hunt and went back to
Cotulla to sit around the stove in fuckers lee

Mr.. J. J. Burke, proprietor of the BURKE

A Chatty Letter About Things in the City
of SolOns.
Special Correspondence of the Evening Light.
AUSTIN, February 28.--The road
from San Antonio to Austin is in
splendid condition. It's well ballasted, has
good steel rails, and, with its courteous Off
GERS, stands to-day on par with any of the
leading roads in the country.
Old Sol is out in all his glory to-day, and
the fresh balmy air that is waited from the
hills and valleys around Austin is redolent of
spring, and people move along the avenue
with springing step and elasticity that beto-
kens health and vigor.
Austin has improved wonderfully since my
last visit here. Beautiful residences dot the
hills and valleys, which or architecture,
design and finish would be hard to eclipse
anywhere in the South. The city is blessed
with the best water system in the land. Steam
will be turned on next Monday on the new
machinery that the company have been put
ing up, the Holly pattern, with all the late
improvements, and then the clear, sparkling
waters of Marble Falls spring will be sent
coursing through the mains that are now laid
all over the city.
The wise solons of Texas are busy as bees
night and day, and there never was body as
sembled in council who are laboring more
devotedly in the interest Of the public veal
than this present Legislature.
A terrible tragedy has been enacted at
Hampstead, in which two citizens of this city
were the participants, and which resulted in
the killing of Mr.. A. c. Tumey, mail agent
on the western branch of the Central road, by
Lum F. Campbell. The deceased will be
buried from his home to-day Both were
married men. Tumey was well connected and
leaves host Of friends to mourn his untimely
loss.
Sherrell, the red-hot Democratic editor of
the Dallas Times, is perambulating about the
city with his piccadilly collar.

viving son ofthe great pioneer, Davy Crockett,

A.happy gathering was that at the Arbeiter
Verin hall last evening, where chiidren's

were in high glee, and their joyous move
ments were suggestive of smiling faces be-
hind their masks. There were Mother Hub
bards, little Greeks, Knights, Indians, Clowns,
Elves and many other tastefully gotten up
costumes. Among the characters were the
two Misses Krempkau, as Colored Servant
and Preciosa; Miss Klockenkumper, as
Harlequin; Miss Ida Perner as The Daugh-
ter ofthe Regiment; Julius Herman, German
Peasant; Adolph Colmann and Herman
Herwig, Little Indians, and master Gus
Heye, very successful bootblack. The
hall was full of spectators who enjoyed the
scene as much as the little ones.

Occasionally we had ham disfgured by the

were washed clean, then laid on scaffolds of

by old folks in my boyhood days "bar-

the rafters, shoulders and jowls next, and the

After the Parade.

After the Reno parade on Decor
alton Day the Gazette published 6
report Of the affair in which the
name of James'Banning was omitted
Inside Of an hour four members Of
the Banning family were in the
Office interviewing Jim Townsend,
the local. They said that B.nning,
one of the Grand Marshal's aids,
had been omitted for pc itical rea-
sons; that Banning was formidable
candidate in elections and was
liable to run for County Commits
sioner or Justice of the Peace at
any time and the Gazette was al
ways trying to keep him down.
The Banning who rode the horse
demanded satisfaction and cor
rection and the other Bannings
seconded his motion. Jim Town
send explained that a drunken COM
position had allowed the name to
slip out, but he had been discharged
and the matter would be rectified.
The Bannings then slid down stairs
and the following coloquv took
place
Fulton-What's the matter with
that old fool?
Townsend-Guess he's got the
Jim jams. Did You see the old pot
beliied duffer on his lame cayuse?
Bragg-Better make correction,
the old rooster may want to adver-
tise some day.
Jim Townsend writes as follows:
Through the care'essness of
compositor yesterday the name of
Henry B.nning, ono of Grand
Marshal Lindsay's aids, was lett out
of the Gazette's report of Memorial
Day exercises. Mr.. Banning and
the public will please overlook this
inexcusable omission AS his uniform
and splendid horsemanship was a
topic of general conversation for
several hours after the parade.

A False Impression.

Yesterdays break in stocks il
due to the false impression relative
to the Wine in Sierra Nevada now
being sunk to the 5000. The
winze must go down 125 feet before
it strikes the ledge pitching at an
angle of 40 degrees. Most people
have been figuring on 80 feet be-
cause an impression has gained
ground in San Francisco that the
Wine was sunk much nearer the
station than it really was: Yester-
day clay was encountered and the
assay value was $50. Every effort
is being made to beat down prices,
and to-day ough. to be o good day
