WE'RE KEEPING OUT OF THE FIRE.
ABILENE, TEX, Aug. II, 1891.



The majority of your readers are doubt
less interested in life insurance, particu-
larry the New York life. ] have noticed
the charges made against its president by
the present cashier of the company, and
have wondered why your columns are mute
concerning them. At this period every
right-minded person is in some manner con-
cerned in the government of the leading
companies of life insurance. Cannot The
GAZETTE aid the New York Times in eX-
posing the most gigantic steal OF the nine
teenth century, and Ut the same time keep
its patrons fully appraised concerning the
condition Of the company involved! Re
specially, j. G.. L.
There are two sides to all stories.
The charges made by the New York
Times against the New York Life in
surance company are very serious, if
true. The officers of that company
claim. however, that these charges are
greatly exaggerated. While admitting
that they have been plundered of a
large amount of money by dishonest
employees and officials, they contend
fected. THE GAZETTE is not in posi-
ton to Judge between the Times and
the insurance company, and as there is
a libel law in Texas that we have had
some experience with, this paper does
not care to get itself into trouble by
pitching into the New York Life. New
York has very efficient life insurance
commissioner. and if the company
mentioned were really in au insolvent
condition he would be likely to take
action in regard to it. Until he does,
we will let things drag along as they
are without meddling.

BOYS WILL BE ROY.

The university OF Texas has sent out
circular of denial against the reports
rejecting upon the character or the
conduct of students OF that school. This
course is thought to be best. as Ger
tain ill-informed persons are industri-
ously circulating false and injurious
reports in regard TO the character
of the professors and the conduct
of the students of the university
of Texas" The circular is made
up OF letters from the pastors OF
the churches in Austin, who aver that
they are acquainted with the profess
sors in the state university, who are
all. with but two exceptions, members
OF some orthodox Christian church: and
that they have observed the conduct Of
the students OF the university, and it is
as correct as can be looked for from
like body OF young men anywhere.
We are glad to have this evidence Of
Christian character and commendable
department on the part of the tutors
and students OF the state university.
Not that such evidence was called for,
for ii does not matter, as THE GAZETTE
views it, whether the professors belong
to church or not, and as for the boys
why. a schoolboy who lacks the energy
to get on lark now and then will
peyar ont much Of a Fl ru1.e in ne world :.
but The GAZETTE is glad that this
testimony of Christian piety and sober
life is sent out. because among a GER
tain class OF people such things are re-
garded as necessary for the good OF a
school, and they will send their sons to
the university Of Texas, who wouldn't
do so if they thought there was any
thing wrong about the religious views
OF the teachers, or that the boys raised
merry sheols.every now and then.

day struck fine flow Of water ~ depth

was at the rate of II least l5U-
900 gallons per day. The drill will
be sent down fuGrty 10 fifty feet

the flow will be 80 coo to 4OO,0 eco gallons
per day. This same vein of water Is the one

the one found by the city on fuckers Hill,
which was cased out. Mr.. Wilson says the

FAIR NOTICE TO ALL.

THE GAZETTE is informed from an
other state that a man in Texas will
bring suit for libel against this paper
This is all right: if THE GAZETTE ma
liciously Injuries man, this paper
should answer for it. But this notice
THE GAZETTE, without any bravado,
now desires to serve on all who sue it
for libel hereafter. That notice is this:
The people OF Texas have refused to
enact libel law, and papers must pro-
tect themselves: therefore. when men
sue The GAZETTE for libel they must
be sure that they have regulations to
be injured, for this paper intends to
fight every such suit up to the court of
last resort: and if there is any flaw in
the reputation which THE GAZETTE is
charged with damaging, this paper
will find it and show it up in the court
room and then in its own columns.
THE GAZETTE never yet wantonly
injured any man, and it now proposes
TO fight the shyster lawyer and the ten
cent reputation that seek redress for
wrongs never inflicted and never in
tended. THE GAZETTE never did and
never will invite suits. but when they
are brought hereafter, this paper will
endeavor to ascertain how much repu-
tatiOn is involved

Charged With Infanticide.
Special to the Gazette.


SMIrBvILLE, BAsTRoP COUNTY, TEX,
Aug IA remarkable case of infanticide
has Just been discovered two miles south
west of town. Miss Mollie Wilson, girl
seventeen years old, gave birth to well
developed girl baby Sunday morning
about O'Clock. She attended the camp
meeting here Saturday and remained
over night at Burrell Mason's neighbor.
Before daylight she arose from bed and
left the house barefooted, and was not seen
again until after sunrise, when she was
found at the well some 500 yards
from the house in tub of cold
water which she had drawn herself.
Upon investigation well formed child
with perfectly developed features was
found The top of the skull was crushed
in and the body buried under the sand with
covering of oak leaves. Mr..
Mason reported the matter to the
authorities and Constable Alex Jennings
went out and investigated the matter, and
will see the girl does not escape investiga-
ton by the grand jury. DR.. Powell was
called TO see her and thinks she viii re-
cover. She refused to assign any reason
for her horrible act, and will not give the
name of her seducer. The matter is
much regretted here because the girl
is an orphan. whose father during
his life was highly respected, and she is a.
most without protection. She lived most OF
the time with her brother. John Wilson.
