Special to the Gazette.
BoNIIASf, TEX. Feb. 12.-About three
weeks ago Constable viii Hart of
YOUNGSTOWN, in the northern part of this
county, arrested desperate by the name
of John Fannin, mention of which was
made through the press at the time.
Fannin was one of a tough gang infest-
ing the Red River county north of here.
Information reached town to-day to the
effect that notice was found on a post
in YOUNGSTOWN threatening Constable
Hart and others who were instrumental
in the arrest and conviction of Fannin.
1t will be remembered that this is the
same band that short time ago fortified
themselves in a log cabin and held the
officers at bay.
A daring and successful robbery occur
red at the Crockett house on South Main
street this city about 3 o'clock this MORN
ing A commercial man named Sanford
was awakened at the hour mentioned by
some one rummaging under his pillow.
He Immediately raised up when the
burglar started to run towards the door,
but seeing Sanford in pursuit turned and
fired at him with revolver, the ball
glazing the side of the drummer's
head and lodging in the wall.
Sanford commenced yelling murder, but
before the other inmates of the house
arrived on the scene the burglar had
made his exit Sanford lost fine gold
watch and $40 in money. A search in
the other rooms revealed the fact that
several other guests had been robbed of
watches and money. The proprietor,
W. Y Davis, also suffered loss of
gold watch. Altogether the burglar
secured about $500. After daylight
bloodhounds were brought from the jail
and put on the mans track, but the
scent was soon lost and no track of the
scoundrel has yet been discovered.

The Laying Out of New Streets and the Ex-
tension of Old Ones.
Special to the Gazette.
ABILENE, TEX, Feb. 13.-THE GA
zETTE correspondent in his rounds for
items, this morning met Alderman N
Porter, and knowing that the city coun-
Gil held a meeting last night made in
quiry as to how the street question was
getting along. He replied that there is
still a great feeling existing in the city to
have several streets opened or ex-
tended. A number of property
owners residing on North Sixth we're
present last night asking the extension of
that street.
The extension of Chestnut street was
discussed and after some debate a reso-
luton was passed ordering County Judge
Porter to appoint appraisers to value the
land owned by different parties
at the present extension, and
through which Chestnut street
will be passed when extended.
A very fine orchard of George w. POr-
ter is at present in the street and the
residence Of Mr.. Vantreese and his well
will also be in the street when extended.
These parties will demand a large bonus
for the sacrifice of the change, and it is
his opinion that no extensions should
be made this year, but the
cash on hand now should be
judiciously applied Bto improving the
streets of the city-as they are. Side
walks and grading are needed at once.

masquerade ball at the court house on

Shot During his Examining Trial
Special to the Gazette.
COLORADO, TEX, Feb. 13.-News
reached here to-day that the two men
who robbed the Dockum store and post
office had been captured not more than
fifty miles from the scene of their burg
larry. Joe Sherman, deputy sheriff of
Crosby county got on their trail the first
day, and accompanied by a posse, went
in pursuit. The next evening they came
on the men in camp, and creeping up
within range got the drop on them
and told them to throw up their hands,
which they did. They were then dis
armed and the sheriff took them to Esta-
cado to jail. All the money, clothing,
postage stamps, horses, etc, that they
had stolen were recovered. The men
gave their names as John Spencer and
John Harvey.
Saturday during the examining trial
of the men at Estacado, James
Rossau, the county attorney, and
e. B. CoYington, lawyer,
became involved in quarrel and
came to blows. Sherman, the deputy,
was down stairs, and hearing the scuffle,
he came running up with his Winchester,
and seeing the prisoner (Harvey) moving
toward the door, he shot him. The ball
passed through Harvey" s right lung, in
hicting dangerous wound. The man
said after the shooting that he was not
trying to escape, but wanted to get out of
the way of the combatants.
