Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, July 27.--The hot
weather has a depressing effect upon
business and everything else. The marts
of trade aud the halls of Justice
are alike deserted and the wicked cease
from troubling while the thermometer
stands above a hundred in the shade.
There is little life or activity anywhere,
the one engrossing thought of all being
how TO keep cool.
The sheriff's officers who went to the
vicinity of Scyene last evening in quest of
the mysterious individual who had been
inspiring terror in that neighborhood re-
turned to the city to-day after a fruItless
search. Whether the man who
has been causing the trouble
was crazy or simply under the influence
of strong rotations can only be surmised,
nut some of his antics were very queer.
He is said to be the same man who, a
few days ago, called at the house of q
young lady who was engaged in CONVEX
sation with Young gentleman, and by
flourishing his pistol drove them both
from the premises, after which he quietly
laid him down for nap Upon awaken
| ing he addressed note to the young
lady saying that he would call the next
day to escort her to a picnic, provided II
did not rain. The mans name is known,
but his arrest has not yet been effected.
MIR. II. i. Williford and Mrs. Mary X
Mankins were united in marriage this
afternoon at the Office OF the county
clerk, Justice Schulz officiating. The
groom looked like he might be nearing
the allotted three score years and ten
and the bride was not much younger
They looked as happy, however, as the
giddiest OF giddy young couples.
A pretty little story comes from thu
neighborhood of Mountain creek. A lit
tie five-year-old son of Mr.. Sam Jonel
disappeared from home and search wal
instituted for him, in which nearly all tn,
eighborhood joined. Some time after darl
they found the little fellow in the wood
near by, apparently happy and contented
He said the birds had whistled for hin
and he followed them into the woods
where whole heap of them sang to him

Independent Order of Red Men are q

McGREGoR, Ten, July 2G.-Editor
GAzETTE With reluctance, and after
repeated endeavors to swallow and re-
tain the soothing balm so lavishly ad-
ministered by the managers Of our recent
county convention, and so protusely
heralded through the country by the
friends Of Gen. Ross, find myself i'm
PEELED bya sense OF common self-respect
TO demonstrate against the statements so
often made that the convention was
unanimous, without dissenting voice
even from McGregor, in endorsing Gen.
Ross for governor.
Why such statement could have been
made, when w. ID. Harris, delegate from
McGregor, holding two proxies, making
three votes, arose In the convention and
cast the three votes against the indorse-
ment OF Gen. Ross, Is one Of the mys-
terles that can best be understood by the
participants themselves.
1t was well-known In the convention
that Mr.. Harris cast his votes against
Gen. Ross; it was also known to Gen.
Ross himself, as he spoke of 1t to one Of
the other delegates, and expressed a de-
sire to meet MIR. Harris and make his ac-
quaintance, because he thought he was q
man of nerve and honesty, to assert his
convictions against such great odds.

cast against the Endorsement
of Gen. Ross, but unfoTtunatel,
Mr.. Harris only had sutlicien
vocal capacity to make himself heart
by the chairman and all the delegates, in
Guiding Gen Ross, but not quite enougl
to reach the ordinarily representative au
ditory apparatus of the reporters. TIL

CADDo, TEX, July 26.--In reference to
the tramp taken out from under passen

position was that he was stealing a ride
and fell of OF the brake-beam and his
clothes caught, dragging him for several
miles, mutilating his body beyond recog-
milton. An investigation develops these
sad facts: This man was seen talking
to an Indian at Canly, l. T., about forty
miles north of Denison, on the evening
of the night that he was found. This In
dian stopped at a house near Canly for
supper. He came TO that house on horse
back, with Winchester in his possess
ion. After supper he walked out in the
yard and broke off riding switch. The
lady OF the house noticed him take the
switch, and in few minutes after
he rode of. This lady heard some
one shoot twice, but did not pay any at
tention to 1t just then The next morn

from Winchester and some blood on

rnE pANGER rO MEXICo

The Mexicans profess to fear that their
or, at least, the northern
will be absorbed by the
Y ankees, ss Texas and California were.
There is probably little disposition in
this country to take in the villainous cut
throats on the other side Of the Rio
Grande, but they are pursuing the very
course to bring about the contamination
that they most dread, and II they keep up
their foolishoess they will find the
stars and stripes floating from point
further south than 1t has ever yet been
extended.
The conduct OF tine Mexicans is pro-
yocative OF hostilities, and war with
the United States will end In the dis
memberment of the Mexican republic.
The victorious nation in contest at
arms exacts a compensation from the
humbled foe, to pay the expenses OF the
war, pretty much on the same principle
as prevails in contests at law, where the
loser pays the costs Of the suit. Ger
many made France pay her milliard
francs, and annexed the provinces OF
Alsace and Lorraine. The Mexican
government is practically bankrupt, and
after few months war expenses would
be completely wrecked financially
In this condition Of affairs the victorious
contestant has but one resource for In

No EVIDENCE has yet been brought out
in the trial OF the Chicago anarchists to
connect any one OF them with the throw
ing of the bombs that killed the police
men, and unless something more dam
aging is produced their necks, at least,
are safe. But they are all intimately
enough connected with the murders to
send them to the penitentiary for good
long terms Of years, where they win EN-
ploy their talents at better business than
that of bomb-msking. II is generally be-
lieyed, though, that the state has stronger
evidence in reserve that will serve To

Whereas, j. ID, Hutton having been prose-
cuted and convicted by the state of Texas
on charge of aggravated assault and
battery" and prosecution being based
upon a file of complaint made by one G.
Newgent in favor of one w. u. Newgent,
detail of the facts are hereby set forth
to the public.
On or about Sept. !, 1885, the trustees
Of the China Grove school No. 2, in dis
trict No. 6 OF Burnet county, employed
said j. ID. Hutton to teach a school at the
above designated place. On or about the
18th of November, the said Hutton In
conformity with the claws and regula-
tionsn OF said school as Endorsed by the
trustees at the option of the patrons,
moderately chastised Willie Davis,
George Nawgent, John Perry and w. Il.
Newgent. On the subsequent evening
said Hutton was forced to put a
"quietus" on one Mr.. Lem Perry, who
outrageously assailed him for whipping
his brother at school. Subsequent to q
settlement with the court for the
said violation, warrants were served on
the said Hutton In favor Of John Perry
and w, Z. Newgent.
During the February term OF the coun-
w court said Hutton was tried by jury in
the Perry case and acquitted. During
the subsequent May term of said court
he was tried on the Newgent case and
convicted, Notwithstanding the testimony
considered, to wit. that the trustees who

Ahp
SPRINGTowN, Tex, July 26-Editor
GAZETTE: in your issue of the 23d is an
editorial headed "The Springtown Dele
cations" which shows that You had O
very imperfect conception of the facts In
the case, or your information is at fault.
Tine chairman of the Democratic execu-
tive committee called for democratic"
primaries to be held at ''the various vot-
ing precincts" of the county at their
onearest voting places" Now, what are
the facts in the case. The party which
we shall call the capturing one was not
composed Of Democrats, but mixture of
ticket scratchers and Greenbackers, who
have not voted the Democratic ticket for
six years, and Republicans who are and
ever have been open and avowed enemies
OF the party Besides they came right
from their voting precinct six miles dis
tant, and some Of the worst OF them even
from several miles beyond. And further,
the true Democrats knew several
days before the day on which
the convention was held that the
whole thing had been fixed, "cut
and dried'' in night meetings, and some
parties had been very actively siding all
the time drumming up these elements for
this purpose. Now, sir, how are we to
Judge who are Democrats and who are
not? Plainly by the votes they have cast
neretofore; and il they are truly re-
pentant and wish to enter the Democratic
fold let them prove their faith by their
works, and after they have ser ed a suffi-
Gent probation TO prove they are in
earnest, then we will take them back and
| give them our confidence. We want no
traitors IN camp, and it is high lime the
party was purged of such. The l deny
that these parties met accordinG to the
call OF the chairman of the ID, nocratic
executive committee, even IL they had
all been Democrats, for they had left
their own voting precincts under a con.
cocted plan to capture this precinct,
knowing that with Democratic delegates
from here they would have no chance Ia
capture the county convention, which
was their object. The Democrats could
not remain and act with this illega
and lawless crowd, thereby giving
them the coloring, of right, and they
could not force them from the house
(Some of whom threatened violence,
Therefore we acted on our only peaceabl'
alternative.
