Cleburne, March 4.-I'he sequel to
the rumOr of a murderous fight men
toned in the report of yesterday has
come out. The party who circulated
the rumor last night sent q telegram
to parties at Sweetwater SAYING that
cap Pitmann had been killed, and
signed the name Jones. This morning
Sheriff John Boyd received dispatch
from ;. +. Roy, of Sweetwater, asking
If Cap Pitman had really been killed
in this county. The sheriff answered
that no killing had occurred so far as
he knew. He however instituted some
inquiries, which resulted in showing
that no such fight had taken place,
and that the man Jones real name
was Cap Pitman. Further informa-
ton about Pitman is to the
effect that he has been living at Sweet
water and has had trouble with his
vile and her brothers. II Is said that
The latter have notified MIN to annoy
their sister no more. The conclusion
Is that he started the false report of his
death m order to deceive them, with
some Interior end in view.
