AMARILLO, TEX. March l2-Mr. John Court
ney, of the firm of Ward & Courtney, railroad
contrao tors, has just arrived here with 100 mule
teams and as many scrapers and men, and is
camped on the West Amarillo creek, near town.
Just what he is here for he will not make known
at D esent, but many rumors are afoat as to
early railroad movements. Mr.. Courtney came
from Roswell Il, N. M, and as he is not going TO
Wichita Falls to work on the Seq mour extension
is going to be done in this
immediate section. 1t may be that the Santa
handle City through Amarillo on towards Ell
Paso. 1t is the belief of some, however, in view
of much recent talk among those interested that
road from Amarillo to that place. But we shall
soon see what is to be done, for doub less the
dirt will fly on some new extension in few
weeks.

-'BA1LINGER, TEX, March lS.-About II o'clock
last night young married man named McIn-
tyre living in the extreme northern part of this
county, or southern part of Taylor county,
came to this city in company with his father-in-
law, and made an affidavit charging two young
men. aged about nineteen wears. named Thomas
and Butts, with having ravished his young wife.
The circumstances related follows:
While the husband was away from home last
Tuesday two young men called at his house
about noon and asked the lady if she was Matte
Mcintyre. Being informed that she was,
they said they were hungry and wanted
their dinner, and went into the house.
She had plenty Of everything cooked
except bread which she Immediately put into the
oven TO bake. Being suspicious of their move
nlents she undertookSo leave the place. They
assured her they meant TO DO no harm, and she
returned to the house, Yhereupon they caught
her securely. tied her with ropes and committed
their hellish deeds. Then as soon as their bread
was baked they ate their dinner and rode away
unconcerned. When Mcintyre returned home
late last evening he found his wife tied as the
villains had left her, and in very critical con-
dition. The sheriff and q number of men are in
pursuit. Indignation is high, and if the parties
are caught the law will hardly be permitted to
take its course. ----4-

Thomas Day, the author of ''Sandford

His father held q place i'm the custom

He was educated at the Charterhouse and

where he received Inc new philosophy of
education. Having decided ON marriage
he determined that his wife should he

asylum at Shrewsbury and picked out

he named Sabrina Sidney, after the Sew

Poor Sabrina could by no means qualify
