This Bridges did. and he arrived here himself
about the 9TH inst. Before disbanding at Ell
Paso, Bridges gave all the help due bills for
their w@ges due them. The due bills were pre-
scented to Andres for payment. This riled the
gentleman and he came to Dallas to get even
with Bridges and caused his arrest. Bridges
says he has the teleFram from Andres instruct
Ing Aim TO come TO Dallas. aud cannot for the
