In every instance the first account has been

Briefly summarized, Pease's injuries were;
The right hand blown partially off, the left
eye blinded, the right eye entirely gone;
above it, and extending far toward the top of
the head, the skull removed leaving all that

fracture of the skull extending from the nose

seven days confinement at the hospital he was

THE MISSING HEIR is FOUND.
FROM RALEIGH IN FEAR OF HIS
LIFE.

A special from Raleigh, August
10Th, to the New York World, says:
Robt. Lesson Porter, who was i'm
prisoned in Raleigh jail as Scott
Partin, murderer, arrived here this
morning. When the news came that
he was rich Irish heir and not a
murderer, he lost his mind and run
away.
He was found last evening at Mar
garettesville, little station between
Weldon and Portsmouth, by son
of Solicitor Argo, who had for four
days been in search of him. Porter
was nearly dead. He had gone as
far as Seaboard, and there a fit OF
fear Selling him he ran to Mar
garettesville, six miles, in three
quarters of an hour, and on his arrival
fell, as if dead. People gathered and
gave him stimulants. When young
Argo arrived Porter recognized him.
Argo showed him the cablegram in
The World stating that he was heir
to fortune. Porter could not real
ize the purport of the news. He WAS
in rags and dirty. but was given a
bath and dressed in new cloth NJ and
brought here at once.
He was in better spirits and more
rational when seen today. He said
that his narrow escape from lynching
when he was first arrested at Selma
in June, under suspicion that he was
Scott Partin, and constant assertions
day after day while he was in jail
here that he was Scott Partin unset
tied his never strong mind. After
his escape he must have walked over
one hundred miles in four DAYS. At
Eagle Rock, in this county. he
crawled under some houses. Peoplr
who had seen him in jail here and
who believed he was Scott PaTtin,
the wife murderer, told him to leave
or they would certainly shoot him
and he fled. At the time he was
captured he was pushing ON to
Portsmouth, Va, with a view OF
finally reaching the coal mines in
British Columbia. He spoke Of his
family in Ireland and said his father
owned valuable lands in West Meath
and Munster. He will probably be
placed in the Asylum here until his
mind is clear. He says he knows
his condition, and that rest and free
dom from fear are what he needs.

DEEP WATER CONVENTION


An article from the Dsrvsr Globe in
behalf of deep water COL VEN
ton at Denver, published in another
place in to-dsy's GAZETTE, will be read
with Interest. The Globe displays
no little acquaintance with the
state Of feeling in Texas, but 1t
MAKES the point TIE GAzkrTK has been
endeavoring to present, VIZ: That Tex,s
should hold convention at home and
harmonic its conf!ctirg views before
asking aid Of outsiders. A con-
vention held at Denver without
this PRIOR action would either
transfer Texas wfangles to the
Denver convention with no satisfactory
settlement Of them, or It would present q
predetermined solution that would be all
sound and fury signifying nothing.
There are differences In Texas that
must be settled in Texas and by Texas,
as condition precedent to any good to
be accomplished by convention held
outside the state.

The growth Of the Presbyterian faith,

STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU

STATE IMMIGRATION BUREAU.
The Austin Santesmsn's defense OF the
secretary Of the State Immigration Bu-
READ is hardly needful. Colonel Chiffon
is not responsible for the failure Of the
immigration movement, - every man Of
ordinary intellect must be able to prop
erly locate the cause Of the failure.
The people did not act as they
talked. During the sitting Of
the Dallas convention Mr.. Newman
Ut the Missouri Pacific said, "If the peo-
rple Of Texas would act as they talked the
movement would be Q success, because
the railroads would do their part" The
railroads have done all they promised to
do, and the people have not acted Is they
talked. Sslflshness and sectionalism have
had much to do with the failure OF the
people, and John Howard was left to do,
largely at his OWN expense, Whist the peo-
pie should have done.
Maps will not inaugurate or maintain
an immigration boom. Texas mss sent
out more maps than Carter had osts, and
for 8 great state like Texas, with
tens of millions Of acres Of unoccu-
pied public lands, to rely upon
maps, when other states are spending
money on sgents and newspaper adver-
tisements In the north and east Is ridicu-
lous folly.
II Texas receives an accession Of popa-
lation it will not be due to the state bu-
reau or to its marvellous map, but
to John Howard, to the railroads,
and to those localities which have
spent money to advertise the state among
the people from whom immigrants are to
be expected.
The Merchants and Manufacturers Bu-
reau Of Fort Worth has done more for
immigration to Texas than the state bu-
reau has done or will do, because Fort
Worth has spent thousands Of dollars In
advertising Texas among the people Of
the north and east.
