Ann Routon were married at Bos-
queville the other day. The

children To be married.

was tried in the federal court at
Shreveport, La, and convicted of
passing counterfeit standard dol
lars. He was sentenced TO the

-Four prisoners broke out of
the Cameron Jail on Sunday night.
Two were convicted thieves, one

street in Denison, and who was
roughly handled by a mob, and

1t is claimed that gambling
has been suppressed at Waco; the
grand jury at It's last term did not
find one bill for gambling, while
at the term before that over four
hundred bills were found. The
number of bills found for gambling
is no indication OF anything grand
juries indict and they don't indict
right ahead without any material
interruption.
At Bowie on Saturday last
there was a shooting scrape be-
tween Rorex, editor of the Mon
tague Northwest and Leonard of
the Bowie Free Press. They ex-
changed shots and both missed.
Arrests followed. The county seat
question was the cause of the diff
Guilty both editors had INDUCED in
personalities in their papers.
Newspaper editors should avoid
indulging in personalities, as such
a course leads to personal difficult
ties.
The case of the state VS.. Sam
and William Mundine, for the MUIR
der of Keuffel, storekeeper, near
Lexington, last fall, was called for
trial at Giddings on Monday. Will

by Scurry, county attorney, and
Sinks ; the defendant by Seth Shep-
ard, Rector and Harris. The de-
PENDANTS motion for continuance
was overruled. Seven jurors were
obtained out of a venire of forty
eight. Kcuffel was brutality muir
dercd in his store the particulars
of the murder are fresh in the
minds of the people of Lee county.
On Monday night DenIson was
relieved of a negro in short order.
On Monday evening he assaulted
three young misses one after an
other, but in each case he failed OF
his purpose. He attempted to stab
one of the girls and would have
killed her but for her steeI-ribbed
corset. A policeman tried to arrest
him but he fought and escaped.
Later he was caught in negro set
tlement and taken. TO jail. At IL
o'clock the Jail was surrounded
and threats were made to burn 1t;
the negro was secured and as he
at the door his body was
literally riddled with bullets. The
people were in no mood to daily |
with courts and juries. Negro
rapists may expect to meet a SINH
lar fate throughout the state.
"A few ofthe negroes of Hemp
stead are far from being as good as
they might be, and the ill-feeling
which existed there during last
week, eliminated on Saturday af-
ternoon last in the killing of two
negroes. The officers had been look
ing for the negroes who were en-
gagged in the row with the town
marshal, Saturday week; some of
them made heir appearance on the
streets. A shot was heard and
Adam Spencer a negro, was found
dead on che street. This is all the
particulars that are given. Sun
day morning about daylight Char
ley Taylor, negro was shot and
killed, by an unknown party, as
the Austin train pulled up at the
lepot- Spencer died Sunday night.
This makes three of the gang of
BAD negroes who have bit the dust.
Negroes will find that it is to their
to behave themselves,
