trial in the district court at Meridian.
After consuming one day in securing
jury, two days III examining the six
~ witnesses and one in arguments
of counsel for the state and

late Thursday evening. After being
out until II o'clock Friday morning
the jury reported that there was no
probability OF their agreeing, and were
discharged. They stood eight for ac-
quital and four for conviction.
A brief history OF this case is as fol-
lows: a mau by the name of Cavan-
augh was charged with the murder of
man in Houston county. White, the
deputy sheriff of Bosque county, met
with Ca ianaugh on the st. Louis a.
Texas narrow gauge railway. Cnvau-
naugh was unarmed while on the train,
but no attempt was made by White To
arrest him then. Arriving at McGregor,
in MclIennan county, Cavanaugh
armed himself and started out in the
country on horseback. White COLI
lected small party, among whom
was one Woody, and started in pusuit.
Cavanaugh, when about one.half mile
from McGregor, discovered that he
was pursued aud broke to run. He
was fired ON by his pursuers, one shot
taking effect in his thigh. With u
broken thigh, he was finally put hors
de combat, aud after considerable ex-
posture, being out AL night, he was
finally carried back by White, Woody
and others to Meridian, where lac died
few days after from the effects Of the
wound and the exposure.
