A NEGROES DEED.
He Attempts Criminal Assault Upon Little
Girl at Palestine-The Jail Under
Military Guard.

Special to the Gazette.
PALESTINE, TEX. June 4.-This morn
ing about o'clock Gertrude Robinson :,
aged twelve years. daughter of j d.
Robinson of this city, wandered
from her home in West Palestine
and near the woods, just outside
of Green IS addition to Palestine, came
across a negro boy who was driving COW
to pasture. Gertrude was lost and asked
the boy to show her home. He demanded
pay for the service. The girl told him
she had no money with her,
but would pay him when
she got home. The negro boy
is named Bud Smith, aged about fifteen
or sixteen. He made indecent proposals
to the girl, and upon being refused
threw her down and attempted to COM
NIT his purpose by force. The little girl
struggled heroicallY and succeeded in
keeping the fiend at bay until he
heard the sound of approaching horse
steps and fed. Her clothing is badly
torn, and there is every evidence of a
terrible struggle. Gertrude was picked
up and carried home by Mr.. T. J. Wat.
son, who happened to be passing soon
after the occurrence. Deputy Sheriff
William J Pierce made the arrest at
o CLOCK. and landed Bud Smith in jail.
His description Tailed with the one given
by Gertrude, and she subsequently iden-
titled the negro, picking him out of a
crowd without assistance. Excitement
runs high, and mob law Is now talked
off. Sheriff Day ordered out
the Daley rifles to guard the
jail, and at II CLOCK q. m. Capt. Will
Jams reported for duty, with fifty armed
and uniformed men, who are quartered
in the jail. This prompt action of Sher-
if Day quieted matters considerably,
and there will probably be no trouble,
but the feeling is so intense that there is
liable to be an attack on the jail st any
moment.

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
New and Startling Facts Developed Con
corning the Proposed FIlibustering
Scheme The Programme.

SAN DIEGO, CAL. June 5.-The in
vestigation being made into the proposed
flibustering expedition against Lower
California continues to reveal startling
facts, and new phase is now put on the
affair. From evidence furnished by
agents of the American land and colo
nization company it appears that the
president of the company had
in view plan to annex the
peninsula to the British empire by
pursuing the same policy followed by the
East India company when Great Britain
acquired her possessions in India. 1t
was designed to colonIZe Lower Cali
fornia and secure concessions from the
Mexican government, and then provoke
strife and frequent discussions. English
capital and interests would then be
jeopardized and the Intervention of the
mother country was to be invoked. In
proof of this the statements of the agents
of the company, substantiated by docu-
mentary evidence, has been secured.
Maj. Scott, manager of the company,
assured the filibusters that two English
men-of-war would be in the
vicinity of Ensenada skirting off
the coast when the new republic was
to be declared. AS soon as the declar-
alton of independence of the new govern
ment had been proclaimed these war
vessels were to enter the harbor and
recognize the new nation. He also
states that the nucleus of the army was
already in Lower California stored in
warehouse of the English company at
Ensenada. Three hundred cases of rifles
were shipped to Ensenada billed to an
English company. Some time ago Maj.
Scott supposed that after republic had
been established the United States gov
eminent would JOIN with the Mexican
government in suppressing the invaders,
then Great Britain would appeal to pro-
tect the interests of her subjects, and
would establish a sort of protectorate
over the peninsula. This, up to the
present development, is as far as Maj.
Scott was implicated in the affair. This
much may be proven by correspondence
over his signature. 1t goes to show that
Maj. Scott was only using American
oonspirators, Smith, Merrill, WorUhing
ton and others to give the plot an ap-
pearance OF being an American move
ment.

SELF-DESTRUCTION.

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
MoNTRosE, COL, June 4.-As the
west bound Salt Lake express stopped at
the depot about 'clock this morning q
man stepped off on to the platform ana
pulling a pistol from his pocket held
it to his right temple and fired.
He fell, and as the parties who
had heard the shot rushed to his side,
they found him in the throes of death,
and he expired in a few seconds. He
was dark complexioned man, appar-
emily twenty-eight years of age, of fine
physique, and would weigh ABOUT l75
pounds. On his person was found S14 in
cash, an open-faced silver watch,
ticket to Salt Lake, and two express re-
ceipts dated at St. Louis, made out
to Charles Bohs, one for Sl5O
addressed to Fred Bohs, Deer Run, Mo-,
and the other for $3.50, addressed to the
same person at Delassus, Mo. AS his
ticket expired at midnight of June it
seems that he had some trouble with the
conductor on the train regarding his pas
sage, as a note was found on his person
which read: "The conductor will not
bother anybody any more.' Coroner will
hold inquest.

NOT A FAIR ENUMERATION.
The Citizens Of Cherokee County Justly In

Correspondence ofthe Gazette
RUsK, TEX June 4.-The few census
enumerators appointed for this county
began work last,Monday. There is little
doubt but that it is a matter of very
g1sR Indifference to the census super
eesors whether there is full and fair
census taken of this section or not. In
fact, it is apparent that there is lack
of willingness, much less q desire, on
the part of Mr.. Pells, the supervisor of
this district, that facilities be furnished
to make the census of this county ap-
proximate correctness. The enumerator
in this justice precinct outside of the
towns of Rusk and New Birmingham, is
an old, feeble man and yet he has 240
square miles of territory, just twice what
was given ten years ago, as then two
enumerators were employed to take the
same district and did not get it well taken
at that, and now there is much more
work TO do in the same district,
perhaps double what il was before, SO
that one man will now have four times
the work to do that an enumerator had
in 1880, and that same enumerator had
more then than he could correctly do in the
time allotted him. The enumerator here
perceiving the impossibility of his accom-
pllshing the herculean task imposed on
him telegraphed Mr.. Pells Monday stat
ing his inability to do the whole work.
In. response to which Mr.. Pells coolly re-
piled to go ahead and do the best he
could, that there was no penalty at
tached for a failure to get all This
wilfull and deliberate disregard of the
rights of the people of this county, to be
counted and obtain the full benefits of
complete and full census aroused their
Indignation and yesterday they sent to
Washington to our senators and repre-
sentatives protests and statements of the
matter including copy of the telegram
of Mr.. Pells, which they had secured.
There is one whole justice precincJ in this
county that no enumerator has been ap-
pointed for at all, and no provision as
far as can be ascertaIned made to pre-
tend to take any census therein. There
may be other precincts in the same con-
ditlon, but the Box Creek precinct IS
known yet to be without any provision or
to be taken. The present
indications are that this county will get
little if any credit for its material ad-
vancement in population and wealth.
Fair census, indeed.
