The San Antonio light. (San Antonio, Tex.) 1883-1886, 1884-06-26

The Cincinnati riot is quite fresh in
the minds Of the people, and 1t will be
remembered that the starting point of
the riot was in the verdict Of the jury In
the case Of William Berner and Joseph
Palmer, charged with the murder of
William Kirk, and notwithstanding the
fact that Berner confessed the murder
the jury returned verdict of man
slaughter, and he simply was sentenced
to 20 years in the penitentiary. This
verdict being such travesty on justice
so outraged the people, that their indig
nation led to the riot. The trial of
Palmer has been in progress the last
few weeks, and on Monday the jury
brought in verdict Of murder in the
first degree, which is punishable by
hanging. The evidence in both cases
was the same, and the guilt of both par
ties was equal, yet one jury fixes one
sentence and another jury a different
one. 1t is no wonder the courts of the
country have ceased to be relied upon
as vindicating the laws, and that pro
TEN Judge Lynch so often acts in the
punishment of criminals.

begins to look as If the horny-fsted son

Although there was quite an exodus
from this town and vicinity to your place
to celebrate the Fourth, We did not by
any means feel lonesome here during
the day and night. There were quite n
good many ladies and gentlemen here
from Clover and Star Valleys, and there
were enough town folks left to give US u
grand ball III the evening.
The greatest sport we had in the eve
ihg' was a genuine set to with soft gloves
between a boy about 10 years Of age who
wears a medal bearing the inscription OF
champion Amateur of Feather-weight
Boxers" and a young man about 81 years
old and claiming the same title for Cal
iiornia, and though he was % pounds
heavier than the Kid las we usually
call the boy here) the man was complete
ly knocked out in 2 rounds, SO that he
fell faintIng into his seconds arms.
Time being called for the third round, IA
dispute arose on IA foul, and amid some
confusion and noise the fight was stop
ped and the purse given to the Kid.
There was no doubt of the match being
for blood, us n considerable quantity of
that liquid was flowing freely, from the
mans face, and not u scratch on the
Kid. 1t was really u fine exhibition Of
science against strerg h. Everybody
thai has returned from your celebration
pronounce it II grand success, and were
much pleased with the pleasures enjoyed
at the County Seat. l..

We propose to m~aterialize another and

therefor and similarly held. Just at the

i~ntentiy into the tube, and the second
hole, defined by its difference o filumin-

The Illusion, for OF course it is one of

year 1877, and who married man In 0ma-
ha the same yearf / met her under very
strange circumstances in princely

side door carefully opened, and in the

clad in velvet and sealskIn, with a blazing
light in the eyes that rivalled the diamonds
she wore. / saw her distinctly Us her
glance swept the room from end TO end,

fingers on that murderOus weapon. Shoot !?
Why. Of course she did; and the coniu-

abled the cause OF it all to slip from the
room as quietly as she had come in. We
found an ugly shoulder-wound the eX-
tent of the damage, but never were en-

vengeful act, and | believe the injured

ago this happened, and 'now, for the first
time, am looking straight into the eyes OF
that woman while my glass is at my lips,
and she knows me, feel sure Turn your
head slowly and see her!" Just the same
