CHICAGO, September "A. "A dispatch
from San Antonio, Texas, says: The no
torious lone Highwayman, who has
for the past two years been q terror to
travellers in the vicinity Of Kerrville,
and who has without the assistance OF
single confederate repeatedly robbed
stage coaches, rihed mail-bags, and gone
through as many as six commercial
travellers in broad daylight without the
slightest inconvenience or resistance, has
been killed. He was shot by Mrs. Liz
zie May, formerly Miss Gibbons, at her
home on the head prong Of the Rio
Sabinal. Bandero county, last Monday.
The scene of the occurrence is so remote
from railroad or telegraph service that
the news did not reach town until to-day,
when Mrs. May visited the city with
company Of friends. To CORE
spondent she told the story Of the killing
as follows:

in nv room, when suddenly a masked
man appeared on the front gallery. L

ends of the gun and struck him over
the head, telling him to the floor, and
before he could rise / had reversed
the gun again and pulled the trigger.
This time it fired, the bullet taking
effect in his left side. He gave q
