DALLAS, Feb. 8.-The eleventh

gambling was given to the
jury at noon to-day, the jury reported
to Judge Burke that they could not
agree on a verdict. He sent them
back with an intimation that they

about to adjourn court till Monday.
The Jury retired and soon returned

SAN SABA.
ESPECIAL to The Statesman,


SAN SABA, Feb. 9.-About week
ago the cattlemen of Coleman and
Concho counties having heard there
were q good many cattle in McCul-
loch and other counties with burnt
or blotched brands, held meeting
and resolved to have roundup of
the cattle in McCulloch county and
put all the burnt cattle in herd and
hold them for the owner to identify.
With this object in view, about three
hundred of them together with ten or
twelve rangers, met in McCulloch
county last Monday and proceeded
with the roundup. Over one hundred
head were gotten near the town of
Brady, and quite large number in
the county. The men were well
armed and the county presented quite
an appearance of a military camp. In
the meantime they have arrested two
of the cattle burners and will hold
them for trial. The object, it seems,
is to protect themselves against cat tie
thieves, and the men seem in earnest
in regard to this matter. Sheriff Mil
Ter has charge of the party.
DISCREET court will convene here on
the first Monday in March.
Weather cold and wet.

Bolton, Feb. 8.-One of the novel

about eight inches long, which was
brought in by Jenkins, the fisherman
who dug it out of the ground on the
bank of Little River.
Hon. George G. Pendleton was in
town to-day, shaking hands with his
many friends.
The rain still continues, and bust

mud and slush.
Cattle buyers are dropping in and
will begin operations in earnest as
soon as the weather clears up.
Bolton, Feb. 9.-In the county
court this week thirty-one cases were
disposed of-twenty-fve convictions
five acquitals and one hung jury. The
fines amount to $1,000.
The court for criminal business adj.
journed this evening, leaving eighty
four cases on the docket not reached
The rain still continues and while ii
retards all kinds of business it is the
life of the small grain crop, which
was much injured by the cold weather
but is now coming out beyond all eX-
pectation.
The grass has been growing for two
weeks and is now good grazing fol
sheep, which are reported in fine con,
dition throughout this section.

KYLE, Feb. GA number of Bapt-

PALESTINE, Feb. 9.-Reports which
have come down here from Jackson
vile, state that the city marshal at
that place, named Rankin, has just
been jailed for a murder committed by
him on December II last. 1t appears,
according to the testimony before the
examining justice, that Rankin got
the negro to go to the outskirts Of the
town with him and a young man
named Bordeaux, and when he got
him there he deliberately shot him
dead. Bordeaux was afraid to inform
on him as Rankin's reputation was
such as to make it a dangerous pro-
ceeding; but he did so, day or two
since, and the evidence was so over
whelming that Rankin was committed
to Jail and denied bail. Bordeaux says
the marshal gave no excuse for killing
the freedman, and merely remarked,
after the deed, that there was one less
niger around to rob, steal and annoy
the community.

All over the land there are men who

arranged matters at once and possibly
satisfactorily to himself 1t 81, how
ever, more difficult for 1876 men, each
charged and expected to eX-
erc1se to a reasonable de-
gree his own free judgment,
and no man is fit to represent a peo-
pie, who does not do so. This being
the case, no just-minded man will
blame any one for going to reasonable
length, and to engraft his own ideas
upon the laws that he is called upon
to assist in making. Reasonable limits
in this direction being reached, it be-
comes each to yield something. You

that you appreciate this idea. While
the measures you have adopted are
