The CIsco killing.

A dispatch from Cisco To the HERALD
Monday night, announced that brake
man on the Houston u Texas Central
train, just as the train was pulling OUT
from that place, was shot through the
head by ball from pistol in the hanas
OF a passenger named Layton, and seri'
ous,y, If not fatally wounded, aud that
Layion's only excuse Tor shooting, WAS
that he thought the brakeman WAS 20
ing to hang him with the bell-rope. Inc
readers OF the HERALD will remember
that in last Sundays edition II referred
TO the adventures at Layton in this city
Layton, whose first name Is Dan ell, ar
rived here in n wagon on FRIDAY
morning, and put up AZ
the California wagon yard. Soon after
his arrival he was seized with deililum
tremens and disposed oil his wagon
and team and purchased Il Winchester
rifle and A six shootel, with which 10
defend himself against the imaginary
creatures that pursued hira. Al might
ne went to CHmp street boarding
house. where in the night he Imagined
some one was crying 10 introduce emo
reform into the room through the key
hole, He fired several shots NJ the door
i'm the hopes of killing his imaginary
enemies on the outside. The reports OF
the pistol frightened him so baaiy that
nc iumped out o. bed and through the
window, lighting on the roof OF the
adjoining house, where no was taken by
a policeman aud conducted TO the city
hospital. Later in the night he escaped
from the hospital, and was again ar
rested and taken to the calabOose. sat
urday morning he was brought before
the city court, and on "a hearing OF the
case, ordered by the mayor TO be re
turned to the calabOose. He remained
i'm that abominable place OF durance I'M
I'll Sunday, when he was ordered 10 DC
liberated. Nothing more was heard OF
him until the arrival of the Cisco role
gram. 1t does look a little strange that
the city authorities should turn such
a man lose on the country, knowing
that ne was laboring under the halluci-
nation that some one was pursuing with
the intention OF taking his life. The TACT
that Layton had procured arms WIN
which to defend himself against his n
aginary foes, should have been suiil-
Gent to warrant the authorities in hold
ing him rs too dangerous person To ne
liberated. But it seems that the powers
that be determined otherwise. Layton,
it appears, halle from Lamar county.
His brother, John layton, arrived here
Monday in search OF his brother, and
on reading the Cisco special in yester-
DAYS HERALD, Immediately took a
train for that destination.

NEW YoHK, Fob, III Baltimore n
Ohio Special. No answer having been
given 10y President Adams,of the Union
Paoidc Railway company, to the last
peremptory demand Of the Baltimore a
Ohio Telegraph company fora list Of the
telegraph stations on the line OF the
Union Pacific Railroad system, for the
n necessary facilities for the exchange OF
telegraph business, Il II understood that
II prompt reply IL not made the mat
ter will be ventilated in congie ss.
Five wears ago tho Union Pacific Rail
wsy company, then M now, under tho
control OF certain we'll known capital
isis, who were, however, NJ the lime,
closely allied with the Amerisan Union
Telegraph company, was not only Will
ling, hut anxious, TO grant request OF
the American Union Telegraph COM
pany for an exchange OF telegraph bust
ness over the entire system OF the Union
of February, 1850. the American Union
Telegraph company made its formal
application for the necessary facilities,
This application was referred TO sidney
| Bart eli and Judge II. Dillon, counsel,
who five days later, namely on the I'D
of February, 1880, rendered long writ
ten opinion, to the effect that the de-
manas of the American Union Tele'
graph company were just and in accor'
| dance with the obligations of tho rail-
WAY company under its charter, and
must be complied with, and ON the 18th
day of February 1850, the following IN
structions were sent by telegraph to the
superintendent of the telegraph depart
Hent OF Omaha
ain operating the telegraph lines the
railway company Will do business ior
/
any special privileges or exclusive
rights to any, but equal rights to al
com panies and individuals. You viii
thus act in your relations to all Teie-
graph companies"
Signed sidney DILLON,
! President.
And on March LIST 1850, president Dill
! Ion. of the railway company instructed
his telegraph superintendent at Omaha
J rs follows:
"uave lust served formal notice upon
the Western Union Telegraph company,
stating that the railway company would
itself operate aud use its telegram lines,
placing all companies and persons upon
equal footing, giving equal rights To al,
| exclusive or favored privileges To none.
| You must SEQ that this is carried out IN
letter and in spirit"
ISigned.l SIDNEY DILLON,
President.
1t is refreshing to compare the alac-
rity with which tho Union Pacific Rail
way company carried ON the correspon-
dence live wears ago, with the slowness
attending President Adams correspon.
dence with the Baltimore Il Ohio Tele.
graph company which has now passed
into its sixth month. The result Is OF
great importance, as a favorable conclu-
sion will give TO the whole western
| country the benefits of competitive tele-
graphy.
