A HUMAN BUTCHERY.


Houston. TEX, March l.-Report has
reached here of terrible crime which took
place last Sunday, at place called Spanish
Camp, about sixty miles south of here.
Spanish Camp is composed of Mexicans,
negroes and desperate whites. and is re-
mote from railroads and telegraph lines,
and on this account only meager reporS OF
the facts are obtainable. Sunday morning
about two O'Clock, n negro cabin was set on
fire and the occupants brutslly shot down
As they ran, half swake, from the burning
house. Five were killed outright, one
severely wounded and two were consumed
in the burning dwelling.
In the same ueighborhOod the dead body
of negro named William Battle was found
hanging to q tree. and il is thought that he
was hung on the same night the other
negroes were shot or burned. The affair is
said TO be the outcome of a suit over the
title of the land where the negroes lived
and which they had purchased. The suit
was decided in favor OF the negroes at the
last term of the District Court in Wharton.
So far as heard from no arrests have been
made, although the Sheriff and posse are

The robbers went to work in q cool and
systematic way. They boarded the engine
and commanded the engineer Bob Rue,
and the fireman. Ed. Hacknett, TO hold up
their hands. Hacknett WAS just in the act
of putting in shovel of coal in the fire
box, and surprising it was one of the train

his shovel, eXckliminG, "Ah there" The
robber with grim rumor dropped the muzzle
