heavily armed guards arrived tonight for
the purpose of conveying back to Hemp
stead, Springfield and McDade, the mur-
derers of Allchin, for trial. Springfield
and McDade, after the denial of the writ
of habeas corpus by the court of appeals,
were brought to this CITY and jailed July

turbulent feeling that existed in
Waller county, caused by the killing
of Allohin, prominent citizen of that
county, while seated upon his horse
in front of saloon in Hampstead in
May last by the defendants. The excite
ment ran so high that further violence
was feared and Governor Ross was ap-
pealed to, who sent a squad of rangers
to Hampstead to prevent further blood
shed and restore peace. Sergeant Dur
bin will return to Hampstead with his
prisoners in the morning and their trial
will be watched with intense interest," as
some of the ablest counsel in the state are
represented in the prosecution and de-
Tense. The prisoners are hopeful of an
