held IN Waco until Thursday, when, after
the trial here, they can be forwarded to

Marshal Ish waited patiently until
nearly 4 O'clock, and not receiving any
reply from Marshal Cabel at Dallas, con.
cluded he would not try TO hold the pris.
oners, as he did not have any papers To
do SO. Accordingly, shortly before 4
o'clock, they were released, went to the
Missouri + clilc depot and took the 4
O'Clock train FOR IIillsburo. They are
billed 10 appear here again. IN the county
