waylaid, robbed and killed by the men

thority to summon to their aid
any number of men thew
saw fit, besides offering al
reward of $1,000. The sheriff of Ponto-
toe said he wanted to see the men ta-
Ken, but would not attempt their arrest.
When the Texas officers had gone TO the
locality, thirty-five miles from Oxford,
alone, they could not find man TO
summon to their assistance who was
not friend of Lamar and Bishop. They
secured the county and found several
Illicit distilleries running, with no ef-
fort being made by the revenue officers
to break them up. Learning where La
mar lived, and being told that II at
home the house would be closed tightly,
they rode up and demanded admission.
Getting no answer they emptied re-
yolver In the house, then broke in the
door TO ind Lamar and family
gone. They then went to
every house in the locality, but
Not a man was TO be found, while the
women were terrorized, the country
being full Of the widest rumors about
the bloody Texans, some of the natives
declaring there were fifty who intended
killing every one who had aided the \
murderers. The little towns were all 4
excitement, the men hiding out.
Finding their first search unavailing \
they returned to jackson to see Gov.
Lowry. He told them TO take no

says the people are ignorant, poor and /

speak out and their lives have been

Murdered by Fence Cutters.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. l0.-[Speciai. -
From visitor to the city the HERALD
reporter CLEANED information OF the
death of John Edwards, prominent
citizen and stockman of Live Oak
county, who became involved In shoot
ing, scrape some time ago, In which he
was, as 1t afterwards appeared, fatally
wounded. From the best information
that can be obtained the difficulty grew
out of dispute over dividing fence
between the lands Of Mr.. Edwards, IS. IS.
Lewis and S. w. Williams. The parties
resorted TO law, and the suit was decided
in favor of Edwards. Lewis and
Williams, not being satisfied with ths
result OF the suit, proceeded with nip
pers to cut the wires of the division
fence, and were caught in the act by Mr.
Edwards, who was no enraged that he
began to fire at the PARTIES
and they returned Il with
what proves TO be fatal effect.
Williams bullet did the execution.
Both he and Lewis were arrested, but
the latter was released on bond, while
the former was kept In Jail To await the
