JEFF SIMPSON
Slabs Laura Hobbs, Seven Times
With Pocket Knife.

Last night between II and 70 o'clock
jeff Simpson (colored) Laura Hobbs
walking on Ervay street, lust south of
Commerce street, in company with
another woman and colored man, and
immedia ely commenced an onslaught
upon her, stabbing her altogether
seven times, twice in the left breast,
once in the side aud several times in
the back. The woman raised terrific
cry of murder, and two police officers
were ON the ground in few moments
from The first cutlery, whose appear
ance undoubtedly saved the life Of the
woman. They are from COrsicana and
have only been here short time. The
woman is a likely mulatto, while JEFF
is as black as coal. Since they have
been here they have not lived together.
She is living in the frame building on
Main street, corner of Ervay, where
jeff has been seen hanging around
waiting an opportunity to kill the wo-
man. Her wounds do not seem to be
dangerous, though there is an ugly
one lust below the left breast that is
very painful and may prove stubborn.
The officers who made the arrest
were Capt. Arnold and Officer Ahearn,
who were walking on Commerce
street when they heard the cries of the
woman. AS they ran toward the
screaming woman, Simpson took to
his heels, throwing his shoes off as he
ran. The officers pursuing him so
closely and with an occasional shot
sent after him, caused the fellow to
run into the yard and under the par.
sonage of the Second Presbyterian
Church. Ahearn went under the
house and Simpson came out on the
other side where Capt. Arnold was
standing. The captain covered him
with his revolver and told jefferson to
come to him, which command was
promptly obeyed. Simpson asked to
be permitted TO look for his shoes and
then to see the woman he had tried to
kill.

The Sick Jerseys.

The poor sick jerseys are catching it
right and left. Col. Houston and his
partner who brought them here and
sold them will have much to answer
for in the next world, according to the
maledictions heaped upon their heads
by parties who have been "fooled" in
their judgment concerning the sick
jerseys and who pronounced it conta-
geous pleuro-pneumonia. Every fell
low who made such diagnosis of the
disease is taking it all back, and "cuss-
ing the breed now as naturally deli
cate, sickly breed that easily die when
eyer removed from their native heath
Ten of these cattle sold here have died,
not from pleuro-pneumonia, but
because they couldn't stand the change
OF climate-that is about the size of it.
