their way west. Being tired and dusty
with travel, they started up town 70 y

along. On the way they were met NV
Kelly, who noting their rough an
pearance searched and found them
armed, and thereupon arrested both
and started to the calaboose. Turner
protested that he was traveller, and
was therefore not subject to arrest. INT
would deposit with the policeman
several hundred dollars, which he
had about him, as security for their
appearance for trial next morning. or
being strangers, would leave the
money with some citizen and give
him on the bond. These offers WeIe
refused by Kelly, and he started TO
Jail with both for the night. On the
way, Tdrner, feeling disinclined TO
suffer the humiliation of lying in Jail,
broke to run away, and the police
man firing his ever ready pistol hit
him near the hip joint and inflicted a
wound from which he died in about

During his illness A. G. Turner was

A great deal of travel is now coming
through this city, and our hotels
are daily crowded with stran-
gers. The register of the old
and popular Binkley house shows
a flattering reputation with the
outside world, and it is said to set the
best table in all Texas.
The farmers are becoming little
restless at the rapid growth of weeds
along with their crops, as the ground
tor the past fortnight has been too
wet for the pillow or hoe. With short
spell of nice weather for cultivation
and wedding, great crop is in store
for the husbandman this harvest.
