Revelation OF Dark and Bloody

A lr liant Illustration of the fact that

gang in the Helots settlement north of San
Antonio. Tex. On Monday Cal BraDnon.
the brother of the Ou.llw, Joe Brannon,
came into San Antonio and went before the
grand-iury and laid information to the ef-
feet that the two Scots, Frank and L. D.,
the former being constable of precinct No.
9, had received Frank Harris from Pitts,
who had arrested him on September 10,
1884 and that since that time nothing had
ever been heard of Harris and he believed
that the two SCOTS had murdered him. On
the strength of this statement the grand
Jury dispatched Deputy Sheriffs Ed Stew
ems. Applewhite and J. Van Ripper to the
locality to search the Scott premises, Bran
mons and the vicinity generally.
They visited wha: is known as the rob
hers cave" where the Pitts, BrannOn and
Yerger band were in the habit OF hiding.
Their cave is four or five miles from Leon
springs at the rear of ScOtt's house and
about 100 Yards from where Joe BrannOn
was shot, he being intent on reaching this
place when he was killed. The officers after

conveyed to the county Jail. There is nc
doubt that the remains are all that is left OF
the Iamented Frank Harris.
The object of the terrible murder is moi
so plain, though enough is known to impli
cate almost the entire gang in it. Harris
was desperately in love with Miss Scott anC
swore that he would marry her if he had te

that he should not, for he had pledged hel

would marry the girl anyhow. This infor

PORT HURON, Mich, June 10. Mrs. Flora
ROlph was arrested this morning for caus-
ing the death of her 3-year old child on
Tuesday of this week. Mrs. ROlph had
separated from her husband, the children
being divided between them. 1t Is said that
since the separation, two years ago, the wo-
man has been living with another man.
Becoming tired of her child, she determined
to hand il over to her husband. With this
IurpOse she drove in buggy TO where he
was hauling gravel and put the boy in the
loaded wagon. ROlph returned 1t immedi-
ately to the buggy. In the alteration that
cnsued Mrs. Rolph gave the child beating
with the buggy whip. The noise frightened
the horses and they started suddenly. The
child either fell out or was thrown out and
the heavy wagon wheels ran over its head.

by the proper authorities resulted in this
arrest and others will probably follow.
An investigation following the child's
death it was discovered that the mother de-
liberately threw the child under the wheels
ot the moving wagon and afterwards threw
the mangled remains on top OF the wagon,
brutally tellIng her husband to take care OF
