DIR SHAS FLATTERY.

The people of Austin will remem-
Der DR.. Flattery, the specialist, and
his son, the dentist, who arrived here
some few weeks ago and took quarters
at the Southern hotel, and who have
since given public lectures and free
advice from carriage, la wizard
oil, at certain points along the
Avenue; and they will also re-
member what was said from
the carriage and in their
drinted communications to the public,
with reference to permanently estab-
fishing themselves in the Texas cap
itai. From the records of the tax
collectors office, it would seem that
these gentlemen have not complied
with the law requiring the payment
of an occupation tax here. From
letters received, it would seem also
that this is not the only county In the
broad state of Texas in which they
have been so thoughtless as to over
look this "mere formality." For the
last few days Austin has not seen
much of the Flatterys, and the i'm
preston got out that they had aban-
uoned their original intention of
permanently establishing themselves
in our midst, and giving
Austin the benefit to be derived from
the constant attendance of two ex-
perts in the science of medicine and
dentistry. Anyway, the officers be-
came alarmed lest the county and
state should be deprived of those ben
efits which the law says shall accrue
to them from such practice, and as a
result, DIR. Silas Flattery, the dentist,
now languishes in Jail on charge of
pursuing his occupation without a
license. DR.. Flattery. senior, is con-
spicuously absent, but it is thought
that he will be compelled to come to
the rescue of his son. 1t costs about
$50 in each county stopped in, to be a
travelling specialist, and the Doctors
Flattery are no exceptions to the

On Sunday afternoon, Officer Howe
arrested five or six young lads
at the depot for swinging
on the cars while in motion, the same
being in violation of a city ordinance
On the subject. After the little fell
lows had been kept at the station for
about three quarters of an hour, they
were released, upon promising that
they would not again )e guilty of
the offense.
On Yesterday officers Howe and
DeLong were arrested in four cases,
charged with false Imprisonment.
The parents of the little boys,
whose names were Pickle, Canter-
berry, Bird and Stevenson, give a
different version of the affair. The
little fellows deny that they were
swinging on the cars, and claim that
they had not yet reached the depot
when they met Howe with
two little negro chaps. They claim
to have turned back and followed the
officer to the station. They assert
that they remained at the foot of the
stairs, but were called up
by Howe, who said they

me officers of releasing an old crazy
negro with a handkerchief on his
head, who was to eat them up or dc
something else equally calculated to
strike terror to the youthful heart
The boys say that they had heard that
Governor Ireland had been arrested
and was at the depot in chains, and
they were going down to see about it
The officers state most positively that

and that they were only released then

They are Surprised by their Friends with
an Impromptu Reception.
Mr.. d. w. Weaver, the Pecan street
grocer, returned Tuesday from Brazos
county with his bride, formerly Miss
Cora Z. Steele, whom he first met in
Austin last winter. They are now
pleasantly located at Mrs. McKay's,
on Brazos street, just back of the
Southern Presbyterian church. Last
evening, the newly-married couple
were agreeably surprised by an i'm
promptu reception, gotten up by a
party of about twenty-five of their
friends in Austin, who went up in a
body to welcome the bride to her new
home, and congratulate the groom
upon his having been the means of
bringing so estimable lady back to
Austin. Refreshments were served
in abundance, and the evening was
one of unusual enjoyment. There are
few men in Austin who have and who
deserve more friends and well-wishers
than ID. w. Weaver. May happiness
crown the lives of himself and his
bride.

RUNAWAY.
An Awning Post Knocked Out of Time,

An Awning Post Knocked Out of Time,
but Nobody Hurt.
Runaways in Austin are becoming
alarmingly frequent, and and it is
matter of surprise that more serious
accidents have notresulted from them.
Scarcely a day passes but what there
is one or more to report. The only
remedy is in seeing that the city ordi-
nance against leaving horse unhitch-
ed is enforced strictly, and in parents
seeing to it that their children, inca
pable of managing vehicle in case
of an emergency, be not allowed on
the Avenue in charge of one. There
is more danger of being run into by
wild team than there is of ones own
team starting off. Yesterday an
empty job wagon, drawn by two
horses, dashed down the Avenue and
finally came to grief by striking one
of the wooden awning posts in front
of George b. Lucas drug store, near
the corner of Ash street. One of the
horses fell down upon the sidewalk,
and the other in the gutter, while the
awning post was badly demolished.
Strange enough, neither of the horses
were injured.

DASTARDLY DEED.

Mr.. Felix Sanders is Called to His Door
and Shot Through the Chest.
Intelligence reached the city yester-
dry of probable assassination at Bee
Cave, fifteen miles north of Austin, in
Travis county, last Thursday night.
Mr.. Felix Sanders was called to his
door by some unknown party and fired
upon. The ball entered the chest and
passed entirely through, coming out
under the shoulder blade, inflicting
what is now thought to be a fatal
wound. Mr.. Sanders says he has not
the least idea who shot him, nor his
reason for doing so.
