AN OLD MURDER.
Not Guilty-A Young Girl Said to Have
Forged an Order for a Marriage License.

Special to the Gazette
SHERMAN, TEX, May 21.-Bill Downs, Il
large man about forty years of age, went to
the sheriff's Office i'll this city to-day and
surprised all hands by the remark that he
wished to surrender for a crime committed
in Delaware Bend in 1875. The crime which
he alluded to was the murder of John Da-
Wis, saloon keeper in that remote section.
Downs was given into the hands of the
iailer and later succeeded in getting a ha-
beas corpus hearing before Judge Muse,
and was admitted to bond in the sum OF
$500, which he readily filed. After the
killing Downs fled to South Canadian
county, in the Territory, and settled down,
married an Indian woman and has four
children. He has held public office and is
well off in this worlds goods. He went un-
der an assumed name, but feels that he can
soon have the charge OF murder wiped out,
as it is a case of self-defense.
Elisha Smith, on a charge of robbery, was
discharged in the district court to-day.
Martin She'd and Miss Ola Watson were
married at Whitesboro yesterday after
using various means to obtain license. The
bride IS only fourteen years old and the
parents objected. An order came for the
license, signed by the parents, or at least
with their names attached TO it, and it is
now claimed that the bride signed the order
for it. There was trouble when the young
married people returned, but information
from there to-day is of a mild nature. The
young wife has been forgiven.
