LOVE AND LAW.
The Killing of Davis in New York |

The Killing of Davis in New York
Caused a Texan to be Married.
passenger from Georgetown, In an
sweT TO the LIGHT mans usual enquiry
What do you know" said: mot much,
but there Is an incident connected with
our city that is worth repeating. When
Jim Holland was arrested for numbering
Davis in New York when he was trying
to swindle him, as he had done others,
he sent for Col. w. X. Makemson, OF
Georgetown, to conduct his defence. AS
is well known he worked hard and quiet
ly upon the inside, and his efforts con-
tributed much towards the acquittal Of
Holland. On their way back TO Texas
Holland and MakemsOn stopped in Bos-
ton and whilst there they visited Mrs
Kate Holland, daughter Of F. G. Patrick,
Of Palestine, widow Of Jim's dead
brother and sister OF John ii. Leavell, Of
Georgetown, who resided there. Mrs.
Holland Is charming widow and 1t
seems that Col. Makemson soon sued
out an attachment 10 the Court of Cupid.
for on the 18th inst. Mrs. Holland
changed her name to Mrs. w. X. Max
emson, and 1t is said that the marriage
Is one OF pure affection on beth sides.
Holland is now located in Georgetown
and is doing well. Hill, Jim Hollands
bosom friend, who was with him at the
time Davis was killed, has not Jared so
well. In disarming a desperate at Bal
linger, he got shot In the foot. The
wound was apparently alight one, but
lockjaw ensued, and 10 few days Hill
was carried to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns. His friends have
had considerable trouble from this
cause in getting the cash bond deposit
ed for Hill when he was arrested for
completely in Davis murder. This is a
romantic story, but 1t is true one"

Some of the Delinouents.

Among the list OF business men, firms
and lawyers, who have fallen behind in
the payment of their occupation taxes
to the city for long time, the collector
has found 1877 cases of delinquency.
Among them are nearly all the lawyers,
G2 in number, who practice before the
San Antonio bar, and such names as our
mayor, Bryan Callaghan, recorder
Shields, Col. Epson. Col. L. 4. feel,
County Judge Wurzbach, Col. l.. N.
Walthall, l.. G. Grothaus, Geo. Schroe-
der, Alamo Ice company, Alderman
Conner, l.. Rouvant, Degener & Mickle-
john, Kahn q Co, G. Baum, II. w. Bit
ter and others. Many firms owe rs much
as $500 back taxes, and in many cases
the taxes run back SO far that there is no
record of how long they have been due
and owing. The amount that will be
collected from these taxes will foot up
over $4,000 worth, while the advalorem
tax list of delinquents will foot up $l5,-
600 or $4,000 10 be collected, quite a
neat little sum is thus saved by Alder
man Schreiner's resolution.
great many firms are coming up
daily and settling up, or their names
would have appeared upon the list also.

THEN I'LL LEAVE"
SO Said Henry Heintz, and he Left tor
Another World by a Suicide
Route.

At seven o'clock last night. the usual.
| ly quietude of Commerce street was dis
| turbed by loud report as II Ii proceed
ed from pistol, but few paid any atten-
! tiOn 10 IL, until a woman's distressing
| screams awOke the neighbors to the fact
that something had happened. The re-
port and screams were traced to rooms
| above Baldus' Tin shop, which are &C.
cupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Henry HcintZ.
On the floor they found the husband ly-
ing in mortal agony. He had been shot
in the right eye, which was destroyed.
and the exit of the bullet was marked by
a bloody olot on the right temple. In
falling he had struck fret saw stand,
and had sustained fracture OF the
skull. Blood flowed freely from the bull
let wounds, and from the ear. Mrs.
Heintz was kneeling over him, tending
to him, but he was beyond mortal aid,
and 10 few minutes his spirit had
winged its flight to the other world.
On enquiring the following facts were
Cleaned: The deceased who was about
fOrty-six years old had resided in San
Antonio for several years, and
was ~ clerk in the quarter
masters department. About two years
ago he married Mrs. Robins, the widow
of French baker. He was subject to
moody spells and during them would
not speak Unless spoken to. He was I'M
der one OF those spells when he died.
He was an abstcmiOus man. but yester-
day he bought bottle of whiskey and
took several drinks before supper. After
supper he took another. Meeting in the
bedroom Mrs. HeintZ upbraid her hug
band for drinking too much. "ls that
so?" said the husband. "then I'll leave"
He passed hurriedly from the bedroom
to room which he used for fret saw
work OF which he was very fond. On the
bench was bottle OF whiskey and
Smith and WessOn revolver. Mrs.
Heinta, as she entered, saw her hus band
seize the revolver and point it at his
head. She rushed forward, seized his
arms, and in so doing tore his shirt.
That minute The pistol exploded, and
her husband reeled back and fell. Mr..
and Mrs Heintx have no children.
Justice Adam was apprised of the
death. He at once empanelled jury
and viewing the body adjourned the in
quest until this morning.
The remains of the deceased will be
Inferred to-day at p. m, the funeral
