WITHERING AMBITIONS.

There are quite number of gentle
men in Texas who short time since
were universally credited with rapidly
unfolding ambition to take a seat in
the gubernatorial chair. Perhaps the
announcements were made premature
ly and perhaps the loud assertion that
they are no longer in the race is but
the merest of mere blinds, perhaps to
bring about that comfortable dark
horse relation to the nominating con-
vention which has, in the past, and
may still for aught we know, produce
such astonishing results. 1t is now
said that Gen. Ross is absolutely and
entirely out of the field and would not
run upon any possible consideration.
When man such as Ross makes a
declaration of this kind it means just
what it says, and all the doubt in the
case is as to whether the Waco Day is
we'll informed or not. If not, compli-
cations of serious nature may arise,
and his excellency experience rough
sailing ere he reaches port next time.
The old alcalde is also said to be out of
the race, by what authority, or wheth-
er it is good or bad. we really do not
know. But one thing we have learn
ed about the old alcalde in the years
that are past. he will do to watch. 1t
Injuries no mans political health to
turn wary eye on the old alcalde
every once in awhile. He is adfoit,
watchful, bold and determined, and
he understands how to catch the
masses as well as any man in all broad
Texas. Many budding politicians
fondly dream that the old man is safely
buried in his law classes at the uniyer-
sity. This wish isn't safe father
to the thought. When the prop
er time comes the old ,alcalde will
spring forth with renewed youth and
two hour speeches will again ring in
the ears of men as Of yore, and if not
closely watched, the blessed old man
win capture the convention in a way
which is peculiarly his own. He's
the very devil before lot of rural
delegates is the old alcalde, and
a number Of men in Texas and some
in Europe have a vivid recollection of
him in that interesting position.
Should the old alcalde either come
out himself or designate man

don't have to be really great il only
he can teach the people to think he is.
And real cash balance is no better
than an intangible one if the people
are only willing to jump with the
proposition. The old alcalde has
played that card very skillfully in the
the days which are past. He may do
SO again and with equal effect. 1t is
sad then, it is soul narrowing to learn
that he is not in the race-will not be-
John Peter Smith is the only man

ton at the place where the panther

from political guile-far-reaching, dew

Killed by EXnOSure.


Geo. w. Davis, one of the old set
tiers of this vicinity, came to Austin
last Thursday and spent the most of
the afternoon and the night until
about II o'clock, when he started for
his residence five miles north of this
city. He had been drinking some
while in Austin, and was slightly in
toXicated when he left for his home.
This was the last that was seen of him
alive. Friday the members of the
family began to grow uneasy at his
failure to return, and Saturday they
became alarmed and
INSTITUTED SEARCH
but their efforts failed to obtain any
trace of him. The search continued
throughout Sunday but all that could
be learned was that he left Austin
Thursday night between ten and elev-
en- o'clock The whole country was
,roused over the matter and still no
trace of the old gentleman could be
gained until yesterday. Mr.. NJ. Manu-
son who leases the farm just west of
the lunatic asylum was stepping off
field preparatory to planting corn
when he discovered the old gentle
mans body
LYING UNDER A TREE.
about twenty steps from the west
fence of the asylum. His friends
were notified and they in turn notified
justice of the peace Won Rosenberg,
who summoned jury and proceeded
to investigate the case. The body
was carefully examined but no marks
were found nor anything indicative of
violence having been used upon him.
There were impressions in the soft
earth where he had sat when the
earth was wet, and not far from
where his body was found there were
other indications of his having moved
about while it was raining. 1t was
plain
HE CAME TO HIS DEATH
from about this state of facts: he
left Austin just about long enough
before the heavy rain began Friday
morning to have reached the point
where he was found. When it began
to rain he sought the shelter of the
trees, under which his body lay, and
being somewhat under the inhu-
ence of intoxicants, and being old and
feeble was una BILE to get up again and
died from sheer exposure. Snch was
the verdict of the coroner's jury. 1t
is remarkable circumstance worthy
of mention in this connection that
his son,
BLACK DAVIS,
was killed just three years ago the
2Sth of this month, not 600 yards from
the same spot where the body of the
father was discovered yesterday. The
son was killed by some mysterious
enemy, and when his remains were
found the skull was broken in. Moth
ing upon the person of the old gentle.
man had been disturbed; everything
was in his pockets just as he had left
them. Notwithstanding all this there
are not a few who surmise the old
gentleman was foully dealt with.
Some think
HE WAS SAND BAGGED
and then chloroformed, in which case
no marks would be discoYerable.
There IS nothing but the coincidence
between his own and his sons death
upon which to found such theory.
Geo. w. Davis, was one of the old
Texans and quite highly respected,
and has a large circle of friends who
will be panied to learn of his sad fate.
The funeral will take place to-day
at o'clock, p. M, from the family
residence five miles north of Austin,
and will, no doubt, be largely at
tended.

One week of our district court has
passed, and 1 may say at least two
thirds of the business has been reached.
The old case of some three years stan
ding, OF the State of Texas VS.. John
l.. terkins, b9ing on an indictment
for murder, was taken up on Friday,
and after hearing but one witness for
the prosecution, the states attorney
closed and instructed the jury to bring
ID a verdict of acquittal, and after
short consultation the jury rendered a
verdict accordingly. This is the last of a
case in which, in connection Herewith,
one man lost his life, the county of
San Saba is not enriched AID good
old man, the father of Perkins,
is ruined in his old age in
his efforts to save his son from pay
ing the penalty of broken
law. The brief facts of the case are
substantially as follows: About the

young man % or % years of age.
came to this county with woman
some years his senior, who was sup
posed to be his wife, but who after
wards proved to be the wife of 2 man
by the name of Watkins. All parties
were formerly neighbors in Georgia
A few weeks after the arrival of Per-.
kins and his supposed wife the adj
vent of Watkins was announced
The latter went direct to the house Of
the former and stayed several days.
How Wadsworth was received by
Perkins, or whether any kind of COM
promise was attempted, is not known;
at any rate the neighbours heard pis-
tol or gun shots one night in the di-
rection of the Perkins mansion,
and the next day Watkins was
missing. Suspicious neighbors believ-
ing that foul play might account for
Watkins sudden disappearance, made
search, and after couple of weeks
found the body OF man lying under
a pile of brush and rubbish in the
timber near the river The body was
de6omposed and was not identified
as the remains Of Watkins.
