WASHINGTON, Feb, 6.-The house
committee on territories held their regu-
lar meeting this morning and took final
action on the bill for the admission of
Utah and the omnibus bill pro-
viding an enabling act for the admission
of territories of Idaho, Wyoming and
Arizona as states of the Union. It was
decided, although not unanimously, in

tee of five members with Representative
Springer as chairman, TO draft report to
the effect that owing TO the lateness Of
the session it would be impractieabie TO
secure passage of the pending bill. The
subcommittee was authorized TO make
its report exhaustive in order TO
give to the public the benefit of hearings
held by the committee on the PROPOSE
ton to admit the territory This report
will be submitted TO the fun committee
as soon as it is finished

A Colored Man Charged With Attempted Rape
and Carrying a Pistol
Special to the Gazette.
PALo PINTO, TEX. Feb. 6.-Thomas Far
rls ,colored was arrested here this morning
upon two charges viz: attempted rape
and carrying pistol. The former crime,
it is claimed by Petite Warrant, also
colored, was committed upon her last
Saturday morning. Farris was bound
over in the sum of $500 TO await the ae-
ton of the grand jury.
A m Getting was held here last week to
secure the erection of a Touring mill and
cotton gin. Considerable enthusiasm
was displayed. Without doubt ample
means viii be subscribed to make the un-
dertaking bear fruit. Several of our
prominent citizens also contemplate in
the near future the sinking of an artesian
well. The result expected is oil or
natural gas and not without good pros
poets of success, as the nearness at least
Of one of these important factors has
been fully demonstrated. Palo Pinto has
at length arisen from her lethargy and
with the developments of her OIL and gas
field, with iron and coal in close Droxim-
ity, the locomotive will soon be thunder
ing at her portals. Soon from dull de-
caying town she will be on the high road
to prosperity. In fact, who can say that
she may not yet be the Birmingham of
Texas?

the proceedings of the Texas legislature.
That would certainly be proper deserip-
ton of what transpired in the house to-
day. That body discussed at great length
the committee bill to define and punish
trusts, and finally, without having ac-
cOmplished anything, referred it to
special committee of five.
Mr.. Pope's bill in reference to receiv-
erships was then taken up, and a good
deal more oratory INDUCED in, and the
house finally adjourned without doing
anything.
TRUSTS.
The bill on trusts brought out great
opposition from the farmers, and Moody,
the leader of that element, made Wig
orous fight against it on the ground that
it would operate to keep two or more
farmers from sending their produce TO
town together. Some friends of the bill
say that the Alliance exchange Mt Dallas
is the only institution in the state that

She Was Arrested by Governor Ross While He
Was Sheriff OF MeLennan County.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, Feb. en-. P. Hunni-
cut, an old citizen of Waco and ex-depu-
ty United States marshal, states that he
knew Belle Starr, the woman desperate
who was killed at Eufaula last Sunday
night. She was, he says, first married
to Jim Reed, who participated with the
Younger brothers in the Gads Hill, No.
train robbery, and with part of his
share of the Doodle purchased farm on
Coon creek in Bosque county. Reed was
killed, ana his wife. went to Northern
Texas and assumed the name of Ross. She
came to Waco in 1875 with a man
whose name was McManus They were
arrested while here on a charge of theft
by Governor Ross, who was then sheriff
of McLennan county. While in Jail Me-
Manus confided to a guard that he and
Belle were on their way to Bosque county
TO recover Jim Reed g money which he
had buried there, and offered to divide
with the guard if he would assist him TO
get out and go there. The locality of the
buried treasure was accurately described
and the amount said to be $40 600. No
attention was paid to the story as it was
believed to be only jail yarn, but in
October, 1880, after McAIanus had dis
posed of the charge against him for
horse theft, he reappeared in
Waco, and going to the guard
who had disbelieved his story showed
him handful of $40 gold pieces and
large roll of greenbacks which he said
were part of the treasure. An examina-
ton showed a large hole dug near a
spring in the vicinity of Reed S old ranch.
Whether McManuS divided with Belle is
not known as she never returned to Waco
after being liberated from jail.

TESTIMONY. OF JUSTICE FIELD.
CONVINCED THAT NAGLE'S ACT SAVED HIS
LIFE-FORMERLY on GOOD TERMS
WITH TERRY.

San Francisco, Sept. 5.-When tho case of Deputy
Marshal Magic was resumed in tho Federal Court
cral witnesses who had known Judge Terry for years
we're examined. Their general statements were to
the effect that Terry had been In the habit OF
making idle threats lie was regarded as dangerous
man when his passion was rOused Several witnesses
also detailed the occurrences In the railroad dining
room at Lathrop, where Terry shot by Magic, and
stated that whom Terry fell to the floor Mrs. Terry
rushed into the room and threw herself upon her hus
bands body. when she rose she declared that Judge
Terry was unarIned and called upon the crowd to
search him for pistol also produced
which was found in Mrs. Terry's satchel. Justice
Field was examined this afternoon briefly He men
toned number OF occurrences previous to the killing
Of Judge Terry including the decision he had rendered
against Mrs. Terry a year ago and the affair in
the courtroom at that time, which resulted
In Terry and HIS wife being imprisoned for contempt.
In relation TO tho tragedy at Lathrop he said:
deputy Marshal Magic and myself entered the
dining room at Lahrop for breakfast and after
taking our seats Judge Terry and his wife, who
were the train, also entered the room, and as
they passed down tho aisle Mrs. Terry glanced at
me for momen. and then turned about and left the
place Judge Terry seated himself, but aroso imme-
dlately and toward me. Before realizing what
he intended to do felt powerful blow on my cheek
turned around and saw Terry's giant form towering
Nagle say: stop that; am officer / then heard
two pistol shots in quick succession and saw Terry
fall to the floor. 1 dazed for moment, but soon
realized that Terry had received death wound ana
l arose and left the roOm.'
Justice Field, in response 10 questions, expressed
an opinion that If Nagle had not shot Terry he
(Feld) would have been dead within the next five
seconds. lie said that the expression Of Terly's
face when he raised his hand 10 strike second
time could not be mistaken. 1t full OF malice
and murder. Justice Field declared that he had
never had any difficulty with Terry of any nature
whatever prior TO the rendering OF the judgment IN
the sharon year ago. In fact, they had
always been on the most friendly terms. Terry
had often tried cases before him, and entering
court had always spoken 10 him pleasantly. During
the last year two, however, he seemed entirely
changed aud TO have lost tho respect which he for
merry had for the courts, Justice Field added that
the story OF his having asked Terry 10 support him
for President several years ago was pare fiction.
As he left the witness-stand, the Justice remarked
that he was sorry there was no the other
side TO crOsseNamine him The will probably
lie concluded tomorrow, when Magic himself VIII
be examined.
