The Presidents Wedding PaIes into In.
significance Beside the
Glorious Rain.

THE BLESSED RAIN.

Special to the Gazette.
SHERMAN, TEX, June 3.--It came
down right royalty iu steady, business
like way all night long. And didn't II
get there, Eli? In the classic slang of the
times, "That's whatever 1t did" And
wasn't it welcome?
1t was glorious
All parts of the country seem to have
been favored, and the best part
of it is that there is more
coming. Everybody feels better. Il is
as If an incubus, heavy and depressing,
had been lifted from the land. Sturdy
old grangers who came into town to-day
had lighter hearts that for weeks past
Our home merchants smiled. The
drummers about the Bmkley carried
themselves with iauntier step
as they thought how much
easier it would be to get future ORDERS.
Yes, 1t was blessed realty, compared
with which the wedding of the president
paled into insignitlcance. In this glori-
Gus republic the salvation Of the corn and
cotton crop is of far higher importance
than the marriage OF it's chief magistrate,
even If he was elected by the Democratic
party
l. has been drizaling all day, and the
heavy clouds that hang over us on all
sides indicate that more rain is vet to
come. More is wanted, for the long
drought has caused d scarcity of stock
water, and made many wells 90 dry.

lie Fights Desperately and Dies with an
oath on Els Lips, Refusing
Information.

Special 10 the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, Tx, June S.-Joe
Brannon, one Of the few remaining out
laws and stage robbers whose name has
been terror as well 10 Texas, was killed
last night on Capt. McCali's ranch by Ed
ward and VIM VanRlper, deputy United
States marshals, while resisting arrest
on warrant charging aim with stage
robbery, committed In conjunction with
Pitts and Yeager, the Gosling murderers.
Brannon was one of the well-known
Brannon band Of Missouri whose cata-
loeue OF crimes In that state Is very
formidable one. Stage robberles, daring
highway crimes Of all descriptions, and
several murders gained for the family an
unenviable notice. Missouri made II too
warm for these gents, aud most Of them
we're killed or captured, the remaining
few yacatlng Missouri and disappearing.
Joe Brannon was shot in fourteen
places by the United States marshals,
and left IA charge of doctor, his reeov-
cry being considered impossible. Despite
his fearful injuries, he escaped to
Texas, where he soon was marked
out as a dangerous character. His chiet
notorlety in Texas Is due to the fact Of
his having been implicated with the Pitts,
Yeager and DIXON gangs, whose exploits
on the road have been numerous and
thrilling.
On the 3lst OF May last charge was
made against Brannon for robbing the
postmaster at Double Horn, near, A ustn,
and warrant was Issued Tor his arrest.
Ever since the death Of Gbsling, BrannoD
has been hiding more or less, and when
information was received few
days ago as to his whereabouts,
Deputy United States Marshals
Ed and William VanRlper acted on it
Immediately. They proceeded to point
on the Bandera road and watched a
pasture where Brannon's horse had been
placed and recognized For two days
the officers lay in the brush without sign
of Branpon being apparent. Yesterday
however, Brannon was seen to
emerge from the brush and enter the
pasture to get his horse. Fearing Bran
non would reach his horse and clude
them, the two VauRipers rushed
out on the desperate. Brannon
quickly made for thicket
but was closely followed by Ed VanRlper,
who narrowly escaped being shot by
Braunon, the ball grazing his face Ed
VanRper quickly replied 10 the fire, and
,ut off Brannon's trigger finger with
outlet. Brannon agaln fred, but did no
damage, while YanRiper's shot struck
lim in the chest, from which he died in

Whats the natter" asked Bathory,
Listen, answered Zathmar
His ear was again at the focus Of the

evident the acoustical phenomenon
which had told the prisoners the secret
of the treachery.
These are the fragments of speech
which were caught at short intervals:

note Of the new name.

would have been SO useful for the pris-
oners to know, did not reach them
At the end OF the last sentence Vio-

while the electricity followed the light

capped from the strip of metal that Count
Sandorf held in his hand Had 1T mot

he would probably have been affected
by the discharge.
Aud so the last WORD, the name Of
the donion was lost in loud peal of
thunder The prisoners could not hear
it. Had they known in what fortress
they were confined and through what
district they had to make their way,
how much greater would have been the
chances Of escape attempted under such

CHAPTER X.
DOWN THE BRICo

Count Smdori resumed his task at
the window. Three out Of the four
sockets were already scraped away
sufficiently to allow the ends of the
croSshr 10 hc moved out of them. The
fourth was then attacked 10y the light Of
the dazzling flashes which constantly
illumined the sky.
AT half-past ten o'clock the work was
done. The crossbar was clear OF the
walls. and could be slipped out of the
embrasure 1t only had to be pushed
forward aud dropped on the outside OF
the wall. Aud this was done as soon rs
Zathmar heard that the sentry had
reached the far end of the corridor
The crossbar was moved along the en-
brasure. 1t fell over and vanished.
At the moment there Was u lull III the
storm. Stndorf listened to hear when
the heavy frame struck the ground He
heard not II sound
The donion is built on high rock
which rises from the valley. remarked
Bathory.
The height does not matter an
swered Sandorf There can be no
doubt that the lightning conductor
reaches the ground, because that Is
necessary for it to be of any use And
so we shall reach the ground without the
risk of fall
The reasoning was right. a~ q rule. but
it was wrong in this instance, for the
end of the conductor was plunged IN
the waters OF the Foiba.
The window being clear. the moment
for escape had come.
MY friends said Sandorf, TINS is
what We had better do ] am the Young
est, and, think, the rougcst. II is
my place. Therefore, 10 be tlc iirStto go
down this iron rope In case OF some
obstacle, which is impossible for MS to
foresee, preventing my reaching the
ground, | may have strength enough to
climb back 20 the window Two min
utes after ! have gone, Stephen. YOU
get out of the window and follow me
Two minutes after him, Ladlsl,ts. Won
come the same way When we three
have reached the foot of the douiou Wa
will act according to circumstances.
1--WE will obey you, Matthias an-
swered Bathory. We will do what
you tell us to do; we will go where YOU
tell Us to 90 But we do not like Your
taking the greatest share of the danger
on yourself
Our lives are not worth as much as
yours added Zathmar
They are worth quite as much in the
faceof an act of justice which has to be
done, answered Count Sandorf And
if one OF us alone survives lac will he
the one to perform that act Shake
hands my friends
AMI then while Zatlmar went to
watch At the door of the CELL Saudorf
climbed into the embmsure 4 mo-
ment afterwards he was hanging
in the air. Then while his knees
gripped the iron rope. he slid down,
hand under hand, feeling with his feet
for the staples on which TO rest.
The storm burst forth again with ex-
traordinary violence. 1t did not rain.
