taken the precaution to unload his safety
valve, he would have been blown into

A SINGULAR DEATH.
Corporal Bachll, B Co, 10th Infantry,
died at Fort Concho, Monday, from q
very peculiar cause. Deceased was suf-
fering from fever, and was part of the
time delicious. The doctor, while test
ing the patients temperature during
delirious spell, with pocket thermome-
ter, placed 1t in the patients mouth as
usual, and In an instant he bit it in two,
and swallowed the glass and all the
mercury contained in the thermometer.
He died In about twenty four hours from
Inflammation OF the bowels San Angelo

THE PARsoN WAITED.
On August 4 a gentleman calling him
self Levi Lewis called upon Rev. II. s..
Burwell Of Denton and asked that gen.
tleman to celebrate the rite of matrimony
between him and Mrs. Lizzie Rector.
MIR. Burwell consented, whereupon MI.
Lewis gave him the necessary marriage
license, and left with the understanding
that he would return in short time with
his bride, and that the ceremony would
take place at Mr.. BurwelPs residence.
The latter waited in vain for several days
for the bridegroom to return with his
bride TO be married. He has handed the
license back to the county clerk Den
ton Chronicle.
NO SECOND FIDDLE.
Our readers may rest assured of one
fact, that as long as the present editor
controls the Courier they will be provided
with the earliest news, and the Courier
will never play second fiddle TO any even
ing paper in the state. We take a pride
in our paper. We are not, we are sorry
to say, making financial success of it,
but rather than publish such cailies
as have hitherto been published here we
would suspend 1t entirely. We have
shown what can be done, and when we
have exhausted our cash II we stop we
may be missed, but one-horse, scissor
edited sheet we will not publish. II
shall be newspaper or nothing. II Cor

A LA BELFAST.
On last Saturday night crowd of boys
went out in the country few miles in
order to senenade some young ladies'.
When they started back home sort of
general battle was engaged in, in which
knives, clubs, chunks, fence-rails, etc
figured conspicuously. In the fight AL
bert Field had his collar-bone broken
and Leon Field received severe cut il
the neck. Bob .Cushman, it appears, die
the damage with a BADLY CAPPED barlow
knife and fence.rail. We are sorry the
boys got into the difficulty, and it should
be warning to them, We are Informed
that the whole affair started from the
most trivial cause - Rusk County News
HEMP IS A POOR TRANSMITTED.
For more than two weeks the people Of
Ladonia and surrounding country have
been deprived Of telephone communica
ton with the outside world, en-
falling great Inconvenience and great
annoyance to all concerned. This
state Of affairs was brought about
by the cowardly act of a certain
mlscreant in human shape, in cutting the
wire and attaching the two ends with a
rope, thus cutting of the electric cur
rent. II is unfortunate for community
to be afflicted with such creatures. The
managers of the line have been put u
great trouble aud expense in ascertain
ing where the trouble was and repairing
the same. More is known about tn,
party who is doing this dastardly worl
than they suppose. The officers OF III,
law are on the track "spotted. - rLado
