Negro Chase.

An exciting chase after r juvenile
negro thief named Henry Wagner, was
witnessed yesterday afternoon. The boy
robbed the till OF u shoemaker on East
Houston street. officer Massey and his
brother ran after him at full speed
through Degener's lumber yard. When
nearing the convent bridge the two men
were so close on the fugitive that he
jumped into the river, and not being
able TO swim would undoubtedly have
drowned but for the prompt rescue
made by officer Massey and HIS brother,
who conveyed the boy to the bat cave.

McDaniels, the stage robber who es-
capped from jail yesterday morning, is
yet at large. Immediately on the dis
covery of the flight, parties were sent
out in all directions to scour the country
and watch all tho roads. kilograms
were sent to surrounding towns, and
everything was done to apprehend the
fugitive. A description was given to
the police, and orders were issued that
a sharp lookout be kept on all possible
hiding places in the city and depots, but
so FAR all to no purpose. The desperate
stage robber Is still free man. MANY
believe that he is still hiding In the city
waiting until the excitement dies out
and vigilance relaxes. All scouting
parties have returned except one which
has yet made no report.

McDaniels has not been captured yet,
and it il question Of doubt whether
the posse OF officers will be successful in
their search. 1t was believed that he
would probably be in the brush until
last night and then travel by the Vance
place, Callaghan's pasture and thence
into the mountains in the neighborhood
Of McCall's ranch. Another theory Is
that MoDaniels was somewhere in the
city during the day and in the evening
obtained u horse and Winchester and

A Hint TO the Land Board.


The land laws OF Texas authorize
both lease and a sale of lands in the
state. Practically, there has been for
some time no lease law, and the evil
dence that leasing retards sale and
settlement should be sufficient to con-
vince the board that a sale law is the
only law that Texas should have on
the subject. The matter is in the
hands of the land board. That body
can effectually annul the lease law, and
the interests OF Texas demand that this
should be done, by the most liberal
encouragement OF buyers and sellers.
Men who have public lands Illegally
Enclosed should be compelled to pay
for the lands, but beyond this, the
practical repeal of the lease law should
be perpetuated. In THE GAZETTE of
Wednesday last was reprinted letter
from an Illinois newspaper; that let
tsr was written by gentleman of ex-
tended influence. he told the people
that lands could be bought In North
west Texas ut 81 an acre on thirty
years time at 5 per cent. interest.
| He did not tell home.seek-
ers anything about the lease
law; he knew that home-seekers
would net be charmed by visions Of
big pastures in close proximity to
small farms, 1t is the knowledge that
public lands are for sale--not that they
are for lease-that attracts settlers.
Texas wants people. People who
make homes in Texas will buy lum-
Der, improve the lands, pay taxes and
raise crops, and thus increase the
school fund and all other funds.
The fact that large bodies OF land can
be leased for term of years in Texas
is of interest only to syndicates and to
men who do not wish to live in Texas
and build 1t up, but who wish to draw
as much ont Of the state as possible by
paying rs little rs possible to the state
aud expanding as little rs possible In
the state.
iAet tbc iauu uouIu tuCOuTakt
sales and discourage leases, and
all Texas will feel the impulse OF tn,
action. While the lease law ia now
practically obsolete, 1t still hangs az ,
threat to every man who wants t,
make home in the far West. lie
the board by resolution, as It did one,
before, postpone leases for u definit,
time-until after the adjournment o
the NNth legislature adopt lib
eral sale policy, and they will do mucl
for all Texas and for all Its people.

One was In the trade whereby 8, 600, 900
acres Of land were given for capitol
building, which has been started, and
for which the syndicate have received
enough land to make it an object to
abandon the undertaking. The much
talked about cash balance was another
whereby many interests were ignored
to pile up money In the treasury, that
has since been abs orbed, with no ade-
quate return. Another term Of the
Old Alcalde's reign would have put
the state In about as bad Ak rs the
most reckless OF carpet-baggers during
the reconstruction days.
