Tho temperance council WINS npr vrIy

evening, most of those Who were there
were girls and young ladies; not mar

that the wives aud mothers are not

and see ii some steps cannot be taken
to infuse new life .t,to the council. II

A gentleman dropped into the Senti,
mel Office n few days ago, who had just
come in from Tom Green county, Hu
snys that in Coucho county he got into
big pasture, at point where it was
not closed, and he rodu for several
miles hunting for place to get ont
and not finding such II place, he made
ono through the fence. He states that
though the fence had been put mp
across the road, there was no way for
u man to know it until he run upon
the fence--not even brush to show
that the road was stopped up. Such
total disregard of the rights Of Others,
is what often causes fence cutting.

Monday night some man, or men,
with spirit of diabolical meaunees
camped near the residence of Mr.. Ri
ley Hnrkey, about three or four miles
west Of town. In the morning Mr..
Harkey discovered that number OF
valuable animals had been seriously
wounded, and he believed that the
mischief had been done by some of the
campers. lie had a man named Run
nells arrested and he was brought to
town by an officer. The circumstan-
ces we're all against the man vino was
arrested, but he plead that lie was in
nocent of the crime committed. How
ever, he concluded, finally, that, rath-
or than go to Jail, or be prosecuted for
the offcnse, he would pay Mr.. Harkey
for the horses which were damaged,
which he did, and was then allowed to
go on his way. 1t is said by those who
ese-=RuAEells that he has IN previous
good character, and some doubts are
expressed es to whether he was really
the perpetrator of the fiendish aud
diabolical crime. Some persons in the
neighborhood OF Richland complain of
having suffered in like manner by
some of their stock being injured lew
weeks since. A man must indeed be a
slave of his passions if ho will allow
himself to become 40 enraged at a
dumb brute as To take it's life or seri.
ously injure it. Let these cases be thor
oughly investigated by the authorities.
Since the above was written we are
informed that Runnells plead guilty in
two cases before Justice Thomas, for
malicious mischief, and was fined $40,
the lowest limit in each case; the fines
and costs amounting to SI3.5O. This
taken with the amount paid Mr.. llar-
key for his animals, which were wound
ed, would make about $3.50 90 that the
man has 40 far been compelled to pay
fol- one nights frolic, whether his or
that Of some other man, ia not known.

TO securing telephone connection with
Goldthwaite' A distance Of six miles,
from either Williams Ranch or Big
Valley, would make the connection,

of about $3.50, or about $50 per mile.

ments at Goldthwaite aud viii do 80

have such connection made. IL
seems to the News that the owner of
tho line is demanding II rather large
part of the citizens, IA the patronage
ef the line would assuredly repay him
for all the necessary expense in CON
structing the same. However, such
corporations and syndicates always de-
mand much more from the public than
they arc willing to return, and If we
need the line, it would be just us well
to run our hands down into the purse
and take out the cash, for that is about
the only way we can expect to obtain
it. A petition to the owner of tho line
will be forwarded in few days, ask
ing that the connection be made. We
will likely then receive something def
mite in the way of IA proposition.
