Special TO the Gazette,
san Antonio, February 2.--'rhe ex-
animation of witnesses in the fence
cutting inquiry now IN progress IN
Medina county, and which mas pro.
crossed for the past fourteen days and
will be continued until the iull pur-
pose of the inquiry is accomplished, is
rich in its developments. Thus far
l35 men have been examined. the eX-
animation being under the direction
of Willis r., Wallace, the prosecuting
attorney for the Twenty-fourth district.
Up to this time there have been eight
arrests made on account of testimony
elected. Thealleged offenders are Peter
Rhein, farmer; Jacob Mangoid, Jr.,
farmer; Joseph Jungmann, sheep
man; Louis Numant, farmer; Joseph
BOIL, farmer and also an alderman OF
Castroville George karni, farmer /;
Jos. Sehorp farmer, and stephen
Biediger, farmer. All of these men
have been recognized as good citizens,
being generally young men and all
Germans who have been raised In the
county where they are now held under
bonds fixed at $500 each. Jungmann.
however, on account of alleged p r
Jury in testifying during the examIna-
tons, was re.arrested and placed under
an additional Sl,CO0 bond.
Geo. w. Brown, deputy sheriff, and
Justice of the Peace j. NJ. Smith of
precinct No. 3, are given high praise
for their many services.
There is not an acre of land unlaw-
fully inclosed in Medina county, ae-
cording TO the evidence of l3o wit
uesses, which belongs to the state,
railroad or school domain, though one
witness alleged that he understood
there were 800 acres Enclosed by
neighbor. The evidence indicates
that the cutting in Medina county has
been done out of pure devil
ment without any reason
IL was even developed that
one man cut half mile offence alone,
simply to shorten his route to Castro.
vile some FIVE miles. There has been
fully forty mites OF fencing cut or
burned, aud several pastures havebeen
fred. The damage done is estimated
at a quarter of a million, and as the ev-
idence indicates, farmers have done
the work and the parties who have
been the perpetrators had no occasion
for il. There is not pasture in the
country which crosses running
stream. Mr.. Wallace is determined TO
carry the prosecution to the utmost.
An indignation meeting was held
yesterday seven miles south
