" NIilams, ailaS Bill Jones, IS IN jan
now.
He is 8 negro.
For three years he had eluded the
officers of Jefferson county, and he might
still enjoy the sweets of liberty only that
his Apollo like form captivating
countenance and honeyed words entsu-
Rled him In such q mesh of erdearment
in several quarters that it seemed like
the only recourse left was to put him be-
hind the bars.
Bill Jones has been IN Fort Worth
nearly all the time since, Us Cy VIII
liams. He became q fugitive from
the Jefferson county officers, who wanted
him charge o. attempt to murder.
The nature OF the crime charged
against him is, as alleged, this: He
fired into passing passenger train in a
playful way with a Winchester, but for
tunately the missile found Judgment
in no human being Cy Williams
thought best TO make himself hard to
find, and he did SO. He came To Fort
Worth and here remained ever since,
working at odd jobs, latterly being en-
ployed by DR.. Burts to attend 10 his
stables.
He is n married man and his wife was
also employed at DR.. Burts' house.
Cyrus Williams. or plain Bill Jones
(he used the latter cognomen in Fort
WORTH, is Il gay and handsome chap,
and he made numerous warm
acquaintance in Fort Worth
particularly among the softer and more
susceptible sex. One of these is Sarah
Brantford. employed at the Mansion
house. The name of the other is with
held that the ends of justice may not be
defeated.
But this other cut an important figure
In Bill discovery and arrest.
She did not know Bill wac q married
man (the gay chapD, but supposed her
most formidable rival was Sarah Braut-
ford.
This nameless girl became insanely
jealous. The green-eyed monster took
complete possession of her. She de-
clared that if she could not have Bill,
Sarah never should.
She would cook their little goose.
Once in moment of weakness Bill
had confided TO her the secret that he
wGs wanted for 4 crime in Jefferson
county. She also knew his name before
he came 10 Fort Worth.
She went TO q white lady of her ac-
quaintnnce and had letter indicted to
Sheriff Laugham OF Jefferson, acqant-
ing him with the whereabouts
of Cy Williams, wanted on the
charge OF attempt to murder. She did
not have her own name signed to the
letter, but that of her rival, Sarah
Brautford, calculating that Cy would
never know but that Sarah was the au-
nf ia mi Arx-
be addressed to the white lady who wrote
the letter.
Yesterday morning Sheriff Richardson
received instructions TO find Williams,
knowing only the address Of the white
lady. Deputy J. j. Joyce and Police
officer Peyton Maddox were de-
tailed to work up the case. They
went to the white lady, who gave
them the address of the nameless woman,
at whose instance Cy had been de-
nounced.
Her they found also, but she declared
she did not know where Cy was.
She had repented OF her treachery real
lied the effect OF her jealousy, and was
now only anxious 10 save her victim
she would tell the officers nothing.
But they continued to search, learned
that Bill had worked on the new brew
cry; also that he had got job with Dr..
Burts. They proceeded to the Doctors
office.
The nameless woman had already been
there to warn Bill but as he was out at
the time she could not find him and left
word for him that he better decamp.
1t was futile, however, for Bill did not
return to receive the message until after
the officers had arrived on the scene.
Deputy Jim Joyce went TO him where
he sat IN the buggy.
''ls your name Bill Jones?'
Eyes sah,' cheerfuily.
"Where did you come here from?"
"Down In Lweezana.
"Well, you'd better come with me,
Bill. | think they want you down in
Jefferson county.
Bill went along all right, saving not
word, until Peytou Maddox said:
LOOK here, ain your name Cy Will
iams?'
