BOWIE.
A Cold Blooded Murder in North
Montague County.

Special to the Gazette.
BOWIE, Ten, July 8.-W. b.
Wynn and Henry Cardwell, from Red
River station, in the northern part of
this county, came in early this morn
Ing in search of two parties for
brutal murder committed on Salt
creek, two miles from the station, on
Wednesday morning last. The muir
dered man was shot In the neck, head
and face, aud was then beaten up so
as to be past recognition. The parties
were In wagon and were traced to
within seven miles OF Bowie. They
were heard of on the road to New
port, in Clay county. The victim was
dragged soue forty yards and thrown
into the creek, a great pool OF blood
beins found at the spot whence he had
been dragged. The officers of this and
| the adjoining counties are doing their
utmost TO catch the perpetrators of this
| foul murder, with fair prospect of sue
cess.
j. w. Kerr, the lawyer who was
shot In difficulty here yesterday,
died last night about 10 O'Clock and
was buried here this evening. He
leaves wife but no children. Full
particulars OF the killing, with the
causes that led to It, cannot at this
time be obtained. The facts, as learned
and known, are that about week
since Mr.. Kerr aud II. h, Irvine, the
party who did the shooting, had some
words over some business, in which
the Irvine brothers and Kerr X Thorn
as, rs attorneys, were concerned, re-

PLANO.
A Mystery That Promises Some Start
ling Developments.

Correspondence Of the Gazette.
PLANO, TEX, July More than a
week ago persons riding through an
inclosed pasture two miles west of this
place detected fearful stencil, for
which they could not account upon
any other hypothesis than that 1t came
from the body OF dead man lying
somewhere near upon the surface OF
the soil. Search was ut once insti-
tuted, bu. no clew to the mystery was
disclosed. These facts came to
the knowledge OF our municipal
authorities yesterday, and this morn
ing some dozen or more citizens,
headed by Marshal Roland, went out
to make more thorough investiga-
ton. The party returned this after
noon and reported that, In q dense
thicket, they had found a half-worn
saddle OF superior workmanship, with
out stirrups, and not far from Ii bed
made of leaves and weeds, aud 30 10.
Gated that, while an occupant would
be entirely concealed himself, he
would yet command an ex'
tensive view of houses IN
the neighborhood. These additional
facts have created no little excite
ment, and the impression prevails thai
further search may lead to the discov
cry OF some terrible tragedy. Every
effort will be made to solve the mys
/ terry.
The young man, Il. II. Martin, who
made an outrageous assault on Mrs
] +. Jones, has at last been captured
and is now languishing behind tn
bars OF the Collin county jail. Tn
law grinds slowly but fine, and tn
probability is that he will have a tern
to serve in the state peniteutiary.
| On the Sth day Of this month A. J
Rose, master of the State Grange, /
expected to deliver lecture at Melissa
in this county, and the Changers every
where are cordially invited TO he pres
ent.
Mrs. Moreman, the lady who al
tempted to commit suicide short tim
ago by shooting herself through tn
head, is steadily improving, and lac
friends think she will recover.
The report OF our county judge show
| that OF the scholastic population
this county there are GAP white chi
dren and 4S0 negro children, and

A Fight.

There was fight in the Dew Drop
saloon on the corner of Twelfth and
Main yesterday morning about S
o'clock between Thomas Powers and
John Eggleston, the bartender. The
difficulty grew out Of dispute about
drinks, ana the two men commenced
on each others heads with beer
glasses. Powers was badly cut over
the right eye with glass and much
weakened from loss of blood. Both
men were arrested by Officer Tucker
and placed under bond, but Powers
went back down to the saloon and
commenced to cut up again, 80 Tucker
rearrested him and locked him up.

Northwest enterprise. [volume] (Anacortes, Wash. Ter.) 1882-1887, 1885-09-12

The Overland Monthly for Sep>
TENDER contains an account of the
two famous Congresses that pre-
ceded the war, by the Hon. S. S.
Cox, U. s.. Minister to Turkey.
Several bright and interesting To-
cal sketches and stories. "Yeu
Bet" by DR.. Henry De Groot, a
favorite contributor to the old Over
land, is ske tch of the fate of the
old mining camp of that name, and
Will be Of the greatest interest to
the old timers; "The Doctor of
Leidesdorff Street" is romantic
story of San Francisco in war times;
and "A Plea before Judge Lynch"
unique Vlgilante story, with an
unexpected conclusion. GLOW the
Blockade was Run" will attract all
naval men, Federal or Confederate.
The travel sketches, poems, essays,
reviews, editorials etc., of the Overs
land are always excellent, and bear
very high repute everywhere.

LIvEwooD CAMP, NooKsAcK MINING Dis
TRIcT, August 31st, 1886.


LIvEwooD CAMP, NooKsAcK MINING Dis
TRIcT, August 31st, 1885.
The hills, mountains and valleys
In this district are still full of pros>
pectors and miners. As yet, how
ever, but very few have gotten
squarely down to business. Sam
Bedford and Bert Dehaven, who
have river dams, have about COM
pleted slujce boxes, and will CO n
mence sluicing to>day. Many rich
prospects have been found along
the river and in creeks and gulch-
es, but of course, as bedrock has
not yet been reached, it is impos-
sible to give definite results. The
only gold taken out SO far has been
obtained by banning, and the rich
est pan taken was IL cents. This
was obtained in Skookum cresk,
near the camp. Much dissatIsfac-
tion prevails because of the large
area allowed to each claim. Two
hundred yards along the crock and
river beds, 1t is generally conceded,
is too much, and will have the eff
feet OF driving miners away. 1t is
now proposed, and the proposition
will undoubtedly be carried into
effect to cut the claims down from
900 yards to 200 feet. This will
give several hundred more men an
opportunity to secure claims and
mine. Bedrock is hard to reach,
and 1T will require several years for
one man to work 200 feet. As yet
no quarts lodges have been found,
and it is very doubtful if the source
from which the gold comes will be
found before another season. 1t
is believed that the basin directly
at the base of the Twin Sister
mountains contains the source of
supply. This basin is about ten
miles distant from this camp. A
few prpspectors are now in that
vicinity. VIM. Powell and party
are dong considerable prospecting,
and if Powell don't strike it rich
he certainly deserves TO.
