MONTGOMERY 5 RETURN

! Special to the Gazette.
| DALLAS, Ten, Feb. u.-Rush c.
! Montgomery the missing lawyer, showed
up at home this morning after an absence
of nearly four weeks. He gives an ac-
count of himself TO this effect: On the
] evening of the 18th of January he was on
! his way home, and as he
was passing the Texas and Pacific
coal chute, some one knocked
hun down and drugged him. When he
returned to consciousness he was on
Houston and Texas Central train going
towards Houston, and was in charge of
three MeXicans The first opportunity
he had TO escape was ut Laredo, whence
he went through Mexico and on the coast
took passage on an English vessel, which
landed him at Pensacola. From that
point he came to New Orleal.s, and wired
his father for funds.
FOOLISH REPORT.
\ foolish report to the effect that the
st. Louis Globe Democrat has leased the
present pOstofice building on the corner
of Sycamore and Pacific avenue, and
would soon commence the publication of
TIE xaS edition of the Globe in Dallas,
gained currency here to-day, and many
people with more than ordinary intelli-
gence believed it. OF course such an
idea never entered Houser's head. This
is merely another outbreak of an old
time rumor.
