The Clsco Killing.

L dispatch from Cisco to the HERALD
Monday night, announced that brake
man on the Houston & Texas Central
train, just as the train was pulling out
from that place, was shot through the
head by a ball from pistol in the hands
of a passenger named Layton, and seri-
ously, il not fatally wounded, and that
Layton's only excuse for shooting, was
that he thought the brakeman was go.
ing to hang him with the bell-rope. The
readers OF the HERALD will remember
that in last Sundays edition il referred
TO the adventures OF Layton in this city.
Layton, whose first name is Daniel, ar
rived here i'll wagon on Friday
morning, and put up at
the California wagon yard. Soon after
his arrival he was seized with delirium
tremens and disposed OF his wagon
and team and purchased Winchester
rifle aud six shooter, with which TO
defend himself against the imaginary
creatures that pursued him. At night
he went TO n Camp street boarding
house, where in the night he imagined
some one was trying to introduce chic
reform into the room through the key
hole. He fired several shots at the door
in the hopes of killing his imaginary
enemies on the outside. The reports of
the pistol frightened him SO badly that
he jumped out OF bed and through the
window, lighting on the roof of the
adjoining house, where he was taken by
policeman and 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 hearing Of the
ease, ordered by the mayor TO be re
turned TO the calabOose. He remained
in that abominable place OF DURANGO uu-
til Sunday, when he was ordered to be
liberated. Nothing more was heard of
him until the arrival of the Cisco Tele-
gram. 1t does look lutte strange that
the city authorities should turn such
8 man lose on the country, knowing
that ms was laboring under the halluci-
nation that some one was pursuing with
the intention of taking his life. The fact
that Layton had procured arms with
which to defend himself against his i'm
aginary foes, should have been sul1i-
cient to warrant the authorities in hold
ing him as too dangerous pers9n to be
liberated. But il seems that the powers
that be determined otherwise. Layton,
1t 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 3
train for that destination.

Is Life Worth Living

Seine of The metaphysicians are now
discussing this question, and say
ing a good many things too
deep for ordinary understands
ing. To make life really
worth living in tho best way, the
first requirement is a good digestion and
II healthy circulation of the blood. The
man who wishes somebody would
knock him in the head, is in low spirits
because his digestion is bad and his
blood poor. DR., Myers, of Sheboygan,

ALD.l-My brother, S. Haman, has
disappeared. He left Alb.
ilene, his home, in October, 1884. On
the 22d of the same month he was at
Cleburne, prospecting for q farm. He
was travelling overland in a wagon
drawn by two mules. For these mules
he traded pair OF sorrell horses near
Cleburne. His course from this point
was eastward. He is of unexceptional
moral character. Any information
with regard to him will be gladly re-
ceived by the undersigned.
