ing the accounts of city officers at that

Mr.. Larrabee was short. He had no more
property than he had when he went into
office He had not lived extravagantly
and had done private business enough to
pay his expenses. There was nothing to
show that he had used the money himself
and few. if any, had questioned his hon.

School Committee three wears after the
unfortunate occurrence. and has been
elected to several offices since. which
shows that his fellow citizens do not have
any feelings against him. His fault was

The interesting Texan who killed man
the other day for supplying him with
blank brown paper instead of negotiable
counterfeit money seems to entertain no
fears in regard to the consequences of his
impulsive action. His only explanation
is that the man he killed was trying to
"rob" him. and he regards that as suffi-
cient defense. The circumstance that he
was trying to rob other people by means
OF the counterfeit money. and that upon
his own argument he deserves to be shot
or hanged. has not as yet occurred to him.
1t is to he hoped that justice will be exc
cuted upon him. though not in the summa-
~ Texan fashion he follows when he I'M
dertakes to execute justice on his own ac-
count. The homicide may very likely
prove to have been an act tor the protec-
ton of the public. provided it is rounded
off bv the execution of the murderer.
