FORT WoBTH, July Especial, 81
Early this morning, as Mr.. Buchanan,
who resides on Belknap street, near
the bluff, was taking his cows out on
the suburbs to craze, when q short
distance from his house, near the
river, be discovered an ordinary
starch box lying near his path.
Prompted by curiosity, he opened the
box and was Mortified TO find the
corpse OF an infant. Ther0 we're evl.
dences of violence upon the head of
the child, and appearances point TO in
teresting developments when the bot
tom facts are reached. At present
it is safe only to give the facts posi-
lively known and wait till the proper
officers enquire and ascertain by in
quest the guilty person or persons. Mr..
Buchanan returned to town immedi-
ately and informed the police, who
made known tho facts to Justice Zinn,
who will investigate the case. A physi-
clan examined the body and pro-
nounced it that of white child, and
that Ii came TO its death by violent
means. From the fact that the child
when found was partially dressed it is
supposed that IL was alive after birth,
though the medical tSst with the lung
in water has not been applied to ascer-
tain the fact!
THE WOOD AFFAIR.
1t was mentioned some days ago that
MIR. Johnson, as agent for the State
OF Tennessee, was in tho city for the
purpose OF arresting II. o. Wood, of
this city, for the killing in that State
OF one Ben Davis. IL seems that Wood
was advised by his relatives in Ten
nessee that the governor had been ape
Piled to for requisition and that he
was fully aware of the movements of
the officials of that State. He there
fore left the city day or
two before the officer arrived.
1t Is Furthermore stated on good au-
thority that Wood did not leave with
view of Guiding arrest nor yet to
escape arrest. IL seems that 1t. has
been his intentian for some time past
to return to Tennessee and receive his
discharge at the hands of the courts,
and was only waiting to get himself in
proper shape financially. Ben Davis
was killed by Wood in WoS dbury,
Tennessee, some time during 1875,
They had a rough, roll and tumble
fight, and Davis had Wood down, with
an open knife in his hand
Wood, to save his life, drew s.
pistol and fired fatal shot
Being poor man no WAS not in fix
to incur the expenses Of u trial and 81
left the State. He never tried to con
ceal his identity, ev6u retaining his

who believe he is on his way back Il
Tennessee TO stand his trial.
