A "pan Handle" School Gil.

Going to school in the ''Pan Handle"
region, almost as large as Maine, to the
west of the Indian territory-is not so
simple matter as it is in the older parts
of the Union, if we are to accept an ac-
count, which seems to be given in good
faith by Texas journal, of school
girls recent adventure near the new
town of Childress.
About ten miles from Childress, it is
stated, there lives settler named Col
ier, who has a daughter 16 years old
named Pauline. The daughter wished
to go to school, and as there is no school
nearer than Childress, she was allowed
to journey between her home and her
school on horseback.
Not long ago, as she was galloping
easily along over the plain on her pony,
she suddenly saw, crouching on the
ground before her, ready for a spring
panther, or american lion," an animal
which is not uncommon in that region.
No doubt good many 16-year-old
girls, confronted by such an animal un-
der such circumstances, would have
turned their horses head and taken to
fight Pauline was wiser than this.
She knew that an attempt at escape
meant death.
She had no firearms, but she had,
hanging upon the pommel of her saddle,
an instrument which is very commonly
used thereabouts-al lariat or lasso. Paul
inc coolly took up the lariat, and, with
a quick and skilful hand, threw it over
the neck of the now advancing wild ami
NAL. Then, with a wrap of the coil
about the pommel of her saddle, she
started swiftly along the trail, dragging
the resisting panther behind her.
Before she reached Childress, Pauline
encountered group of cowboys, who

between his choking and his dragging,
was dead. The cowboys removed the
panther's skin and had it made into a
sacque, which they presented to the
young girl. The animal, however, was
first weighed. and was found to weigh
210 pounds.

When the Planets win Be Brightest.

At what time in 1891 will the princi-
pal planets be in their brightest phase of
the year?
Venus is now at about that stage. She
is the morning star, however. That is
to say, she rises and sets before the sun.
At about o'clock in the morning she
will be in view in the southeast, and will
be visible from that time until day
dawns. Two months hence Saturn will
be at his brightest stage. He will rise
at that time in the east just as the sun
sets. Jupiter will be at his best early in
September, appearing in the southeast
after sundown. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

New ORLEANS, La, Oct. 6.-At-
wood Violet & Co. say:
Nutures-all markets are very dull,
he result of the uncertainty regard
ing the figures of the bureau on Sat-
lay next. In this connection we
call attention to the fact that as the
report is not promulgated until u
o'clock eastern time and as Liverpool
vii be closed this market will be the
only one that will be open after the
ncport is known, New York closing at
- o'clock and the report not
reaching there until later will
prevent any official trading there.
therefore will only be known here by
the Monday following all markets
VIII have had an opportunity Of di-
go ting it and then there will be only
pi.yate crop accounts and the move
ments of cotton to depend upon as the
controlling influences on the market.
Port receipts today are larger than
OK pected this morning, footing up
IS, 900 against $4,000 last year. Port
stocks are 3l2, 600 larger than last year
and the interior movement promises
as large aseXpected. Notwithstanding
all this, however, the market is 6
points higher than yesterday and New
l1rk to points higher, while Liv-
eryool closes firm at about yesterdays
closing figures. The receipts expected
here tomorrow are estimated at 5000
baies against $500 last year and $4,000

PARIS, Tex, Oct. 6.-Deputy Sheriff
CASTOR and Sam Morris were assassi-
mated last night at Arthur City, a
station on the border of the Indian
Territory and Texas. CASTOR had
been at Arthur City for several days,
working on some grand jury cases,
and has heretofore had great deal to
do with ferreting out crimes commit
ted there, and as result has made
enemies, some of whom are desperate
men. There is no hotel at the place,
and CASTOR went to sleep with Nor
ris who was keeping u bar
and had q room adjoining
the saloon. This morning the porter
went to awaken them. He saw Cas-
ton lying on the bedding in pool of
blood. He had been shot four times
with Winchester in the back. He
had not even opened his eyes or
moved from the easy position in
which he was lying. His clothes had
been ransacked and his official papers
| taken, some of which were found in a
ravine this morning. Morris was
lying behind the bar. He had
been first shot through the breast
and after falling was shot
twice through the heart. Morris
had been called up by the assassins
who, from his admitting them, must
have been known to him, and while
he was waiting on them the murder
was done.
CASTOR had only been married a
year and leaves wife and baby. He
was from Mississippi here. Morris
was from Red River county. Each
had killed man, CASTOR in Missis-
sippi and Morris a negro named Gust
at Jonesboro, in Red River county, on

Skaggs, who shot and killed Major j.
T. Eckles a week ago, has had pre-
liminary examination at Boerne, Ken
dali county, was denied bail and is
now in Jail. The testimony showed
that Skaggs had been cutting Ekles'
fence; that the men met in the road on
horseback; that Skaggs admitted the
offense and said: II propose to keep it
CUT" that Ecllles slapped him; that
Skaggs drew pistol, struck
the unfortunate man over the head
and then shot him through the
bowels. Eckles was a gentleman of
fiery temper, who was dismissed from
the regular army while stationed at
El Paso in 1877. The cause of the dis
missal was dueling with a brother
officer. He was son-in-law to Brig
adler General Mason and left family
poorly provided for. The prisoner,
Skaggs, introduced no testimony and
offers no defense, save that Eckles had
slapped him. AS the killing occurred
500 yards inside the Comal county
line, the case will finally be tried at
New Braunfels.

THE MINERAL DEPOSITS OF UVALDE

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. 6.-The

City, today closed negotiations for the
purchase of twenty-seven thousand
acres of land in Uvalde county on
which is situated the greater part of
the new mineral deposits, discovered
few months ago, and which has
created such start in the scientific
world. The remarkable deposits
have been thoroughly analyzed
by New York chemists, and as result
of the experiment series of twenty
nine patents have been issued for the
manipulation Of the product in it's va
riOus uses. Its most remarkable field
of usefulness is an electrical insulatOr
1t resembles asphalt in it's natural
state and can be used as blues, var
nishes, gupano and paint. 1t is sub
stitute for hard rubber, horn, gutta
percha and rubber tissue. Its solution
can also be used to make waterproof
acid and alkali proof bags of paper or
other material and as a protection for
iron and steel. The company having
control of the deposit will, at once, be-
gin the erection of plant to cost $780,
600, which will be used to separate
the deposit from the vets.
