ALLEE-B0WEN AFFAIR.
Governor Hogg Orders a POstponement in
the Trial at Pearsan Until To-Day.
Young Bowen Married.
Special to the Gazette.

PEARsALL, FRIo COUNTY, Tex, June II.
In the celebrated trial of Alfred Y. Alice
and Jasper Lyons, for the murder of Editor
w. G.. Bowen, which has been in progress
at this place for a week past, Governor
HogS has taken hand. Bowen was killed
on Thursday last in the ladies' coach of the
south-bound passenger train. He was shot
all to pieces, as his person showed nine
wounds from revolver. Although there
were many people in the coach, and though
the trial has been in progress for three
days, not one witness has been able to teS-
tify that they saw Alice or Lyons fire.
To-day at noon, when the county judge
was on the stand. q telegram was received
from Governor Hogg, as follows:
AUSTIN, Ten. June IL, 1891.
County Judge DOVE:
Postpone further hearing until tomorrow
VIII send additional counsel to prosecute.
JAMES HoGG, Governor.
In accordance with the telegram further
hearing was suspended. 1t is understood
that the governor will send down lawyers
from the Office of the attorney general, who
will probe the matter to the bottom.
w. j. Bowen, brother Of the dead editor,
who had an arm shot in the ARRAY, was
married yesterday to Miss Lula Thomas of
Cotulla. Bowen was propped on the pillow
while the ceremony was read.
Mrs Bowen, widow of the editor, an
nounces that she will run the paper here
after.
Some weeks ago Governor Hogg in casual
conversation with San Antonio news
paper man made the following declaration
of principles: Il am Dem
ocrat and expect to uphold the
Democratic principle of government. L
am railway commission man, have
formed the railway commission and expect
it to do good, but above ALL l am law and
order man. The reputation of Texas must
be changed. 1t is absolutely necessary to
US, and l am here to see it done. Whether
am governor for two or four years, the
best part of my time will be
devoted to this end. The peace officers of
the state will find a friend and hacker in
me. If man steals a horse and skips to
Canada, l suppose we will have to
let him go. But if he commits murder
or any other one of the graver crimes he
will be brought back if it takes every dol
lar in the treasury and banks OF Texas
His interference of to-day in the preiimi-
nary examination OF Alice and Lyons is the
outcome of this policy. 1t is understood
that Hon. Richard Harrison and others viii
be sent down to assist the state.

WASHINGTON, June lin spite of the
loud acclaims from the beneticiarieS of his
bounty, asserting that he has cleared him
self of every imputation cast upon him IN
connection with the keystone bank scan
dial, John Wanalnaker is not feeling COM
Portable about these days. There is an
uneasy sense among the friends of
the postmas general that he is not yet
out of his trouble. Bardsley is still to fur
nish his confession to the world, and there
is a notion atioat that he is going
to tread on some one. That there
are meu of means and influence
all they can endure of Wanamakerism
and would be glad to have hand in
showing up the great apostle of Cannon
in his true colors, is manifest enough. To
say that Bardsley, in spite of his talk
about making a clean breast OF
spend the rest of his life in prison if he can
find any way of avoiding it, is merely to say
that he is human. But Bardsley
is not the only one who
keeps Wanamaker uneasy. Next De
cember will meet a congress containing
u large majority of members who do not
hold bankers and banking in high esteem.
1t would delight some of these men to open
up the whole Keystone scandal and air it
under the nose of the country, using it as
test to show how the faith of the limo
cent depoSitor is abused by the
professional trustee and money lender
A majority of the lower house is
overwhelmingly in opposition to the admin
istratiOn and Will leave no stone unturned
to get to the bottom of this scandal. What
ever may be kept back now. therefore, IS
liable to come out when the congressional
committee gets after the hank-wreckers
few months hence.

TEXARKASA, BOWIE COUNTY, TEX, June
n.-One of the most diabolical crimes that
has ever occupied the records of our coun-
try is just now occupying the attention of
Justice Barkman's court in this city Last
Monday the decaying and stenciIing re-
mains of what was supposed to be the body
of a white man were found two
miles out of town, torn to pieces
by hogs, and by them partly devoured. The
coroner's jury on yesterday took the porter
from the Graphic newspaper office 10 Jail
on suspicion. The latter declared in court
that the deceased was John Young, Il mu-
latto, and friend of his, and that
he had killed him for $40 and
a yearling steer and that he did so under
the employ of Young's wife and paramount
named Spencer Mills. The mystery of last
Monday has been completely cleared away,
as all the guilty parties have confessed to the
terrible deed. The murdered man was
hard working man and bore All excellent
reputation. All the parties are colored.
Negroes of the most prominent stripe are
standing in groups on corners tonight, and
lynching is likely to occur.

Rio GRANDE CITY. STARR COUNTY, TEX,
June 1.-THE pablo school system of this
county is an abortion on the state treasury.
There are eight public schools in the county
that have been taught year in, and year out
where the children that have gone to them
cannot speak or write the simplest sentence
IN our language. Some teachers, day in
and day out, open and close their schools
with an actual attendance of not more than
eight scholars. OF course the report must
be greater at the end of the month or the
superintendent of public instruction would
make an inquiry. One teacher, who at
intervals deals monte and dispenses
mescal behind bar, candidly acknowl-
edged his daily average attendance does not
exceed eight to ten, and the entire library
of that school was made up OF one or two
old books, the parents being unable to buy
cthers-and this 'teaoher" drew SO

ARDMoRE. L T.. June IA codrier re-
turning today from Tishimirco brings
news that the Indian militia are collecting
at that point and will go irto camp
until the 18th of June, when
thew expect agent Bennett and
troop of cavalry to cooperate with shem in
ousting the intruders and the destluc-
ton of Illegal pasture fences. Our inform
ant states that the tribal officers
and the Indians generally are skep-
teal about the appearance Of United
States soldiers. as promised by tina
interior department, and are disheartened
over the eviden. failure of this intruder
scare. The majority of the non-citi.
zens, including those who are on tina
intruder list, have now procured permits
and are unconcerned about Federal inter-
ference. 1t is the universal opinion that no
soldiers will be sent to the Chickasaw
Nation 1t is quite likely that Secretary
Noble will revoke the eiectment order OF
Commissioner Morgan before the 18th inst,
the date set for evictions to begin. A strong
memorial praying for such action, signed
by large number of merchants OF
the Nation, mas been sent him. The
failure of the Federal government TO inter-
fere ir the intruder matter makes the allot
ment of Chickasaw lands foregone con
cluson of the near future.
