Spelling a Good Story.

CHICAGO, June 26-'Curtisn telegraphs to
The Inter Ocean: 1t is too bad to spoil
good story, but there isn't word of truth in
the yarn which is now going the rounds Of
the newspapers about Gen. Sheridan and
Secretary Lincoln getting upon the Pennsyl-
vania limited express while they were on
their way to Sandusky on fishing
excursion recently, and being com
pellsd to pay their fare by faithful con-
ductor who threatened to put them off the
train. Gen. Sheridan didn't write an indig-
nant letter to the president of the road as
the story goes, and didn't receive his money
back with an apology, 1t was the fiction of
some ingenious newspaper writer without even
an incident for foundation
On the contrary, the general and secretary
went to Sandusky and returned from there
on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. They had
passes and were allowed to ride upon them,
the conductors were all very polite and at
tentive, and the first they knew of their in
teresting adventure was when they read about
it in the newspapers

BLACK JACK LOGAN.

Hon. j. Alexander Logan, who has
yoked himself to jim Blaine and furnished
a tail for the republican presidential
ticket, will not die the political death
without desperate struggle. At the
present time he is engaged in writing his
letter OF acceptance, and so interested in
the work has he become that he hardly
takes time to eat. 1t is expected that the
democrats and grammarians will be
nightly abashed when they see eloquence
bursting forth from every word he writes.
A yell of exultation viii go up from the
Threats of his admirers when Black Jack
jumps upon the stage with all the activity

what can stem the tide of Black Jacks
popularity if, in the heat of the campaign,
he should carry his pension theories to
their logical conclusions, and propose that
the government pay pension and arrears
to every man who went to the war, and
arrears and pension to every truly loyal
man who stayed at homer The entire

WHITNEY, Tex, June 26-Ike Laddy,
negro cowboy has paid the forfeit of his life
for series of crimes committed some time
ago. Three miles south of this place Laddy's
first unsuccessful attempt was made While
rounding-up cattle he was attracted by two
little girls ON the prairie and gave
chase. Divining his intention, the little
heroines dashed their ponies TO their
topmost speed, and in the race for life and
virtue distanced their mounted pursuer Upon
reporting the facts, Laddy was arrested, but
subsequently bailed out by rancher and put
to herding sheep. During the absence of one
Findlon, herder, occupying an isolated
cabin, he made descent upon the place and
attacked Mrs. Findlon, who momentarily
evaded him by fight. Laddy overlook
her, and despite resistance carried her into
the cabin and, it Is said, accomplished
his purpose. Again freeing herself from
his clutches Mrs. Findlon secured a
pistol and drove him off after firing two in
efectual shots. Leaving the house, Mrs
Findlon hurried to her neighbors to give the
alarm, and was pursued to the very door by
Laddy. Since then he has been frequently
heard of in pursuit of white women, some of
whom had very narrow escapes. The entire
country was finally aroused, and he was
traced to within few miles of Hubbard
City and captured. He was brought back to
Whitney and placed in Jail, where he re
manned until midnight, when seventy-five
men rode up and in a business like
way proceeded to batter in the doors Laddy
was conducted to mesquite tree and hanged.
During the preliminaries he maintained his
composure, neither confessing nor denying his
crimes. After clipping his ears and otherwise
mutilating his body the yigilantes left the
body suspended and rode up to the hotel, and,
calling out Mr. Jones, editor of The Whitney
Messenger handed him document explain

A lightning Story from the state of
Tom Oehiftree.


TFoNDo CITY, Tex, June 26-The follow
ing is given as an instance of the many
freaks of lightning, and its truth can be
vouched for by dozens of the most reliable
men of Uvalde county, who were eye-wit-
nesses to the occurrence. Dur
ing the fearful hail and wind
storm which passed through Uvalde county
in the early part of May, a man named Charles
Austin, a resident of Sabinal Canon, and a
carpenter well-known through this portion of
the country, was engaged in his favorite
pastime of fishing. He was standing on,
or rather leaning against, the north side
of large cypress tree, which was struck by
lightning. Of course, he knew nothing about
it, He found himself lying in the water,
which was just rising above his head.
He knew that he had been struck by light
ming, and was very badly hurt. Not being
able to use his legs, he managed to crawl out
of the water, up the bank, through a ravine
which the rain had partly filed, and up an
other bank to a blacksmith shop near Bra
denis store and the postofice of Waresville.
The blacksmith, returning from supper,
found what at first appeared to be a bundle
of old rags, but on examination recognized

PEARsALL, Tex, June 26.-At an early
hour Ed Allen, well-known saloon keeper,
was murdered in his place of business. Four
men named T. J. Evan, G. W Chapman,
John Chapman and Thomas Chapman were
in the room at the time of the killing, and
four bullets entered Aliens body He died
instantly Immediately after the killing these
four men quietly surrendered themselves to
the sheriff, but no amount of persuasion would
induce them to make a statement regarding
the murder. The four prisoners were sober
and composed, and acted in perfect uni
son. They all had large-caliher pistols,
but no empty cartridges were to be found.
The murder is shrouded in MYSTERY. No cause
can be assigned, as none of the prisoners APP
pear to harbor any feeling against Allen.
In the afternoon coroner's inquest was held
on the body, and the jury returned verdict
that Allen came to his death by pistol wounds
at the hands of some person or persons I'M
known to the jury. The remarkable part of
the proceedings was the discharge of the four
men who had voluntarily surrendered them
selves. They did not claim that Allen com
mitted suicide, but positively refused to make
affidavit or admit that they knew aught of
the killing There being no evidence against
the prisoners they wore discharged, and left
