Destroy the Old List.
To the LIGHT.

I o IIIV 8I'III
By reading over the list Of grand jurors
drawn for the past Il or 20 years, you will
see the same old names over and over
again who have served, and sometimes,
the persons who served on one jury would
be picked for the one following. There
are about 10000 voters in BeXar county,
and 1t does look like we onght to get an
entire new grand jury, occasionally.
Destroy that old list of about forty or
fifty names in the clerks office, and give
the old regulars rest. The people would
like TO have new deal.

Only One Time.

Although Mr. James P. NewcOmb has
been a resident of BeXar county some
thirty-iive or forty years, he has never
been drawn as a grand juryman but one
time. while there are other men in this
city who have been drawn and served on
an average of ten to fifteen times in as
many years. That old list must have been
misplaced when the commissioners drew
the celebrated jury that went TO jail-be-
cause they were after booders. The
people think it Is time to shuttle new
blackburn that old list.

A LYNCHING IN OHIO.
The Findlay Jail Stormed at
Midnight by a Mob.
VENGEANCE ON A MURDERER.
Stockmen in Northern Wyoming Round
ing UP the Rustlers-They Expect
to Hang ssventy-Five of Them.

FINDLAY, o., March 30-Joseph Lyttle, an in
mate OF the National Soldiers Home at Dayton,
butchered his divorced wife and two daughters
In horrible manner here this morning He
returned home on Sunday on leave OF absence
and stayed quietly in his house with his unsus-
pecting, though estrauged family. Yesterday
he carefully sharpened murderous Ratchet,
and after breakfast this morning crushed the
skull of his daughter Della with the weapon
and, leaving her for dead, dealt a blow at his
daughter Emma, who escaped with slight
wound, then rushed upon the invalid who was
once his wife, and terrible struggle ensued.
He landed six blows on the woman's head
without breaking her skull, but the finger OF
her right hand was cut off by a blow. When
the woman was exhausted the fieudish husband
crushed her skull. Then he cut up the piano
and pictures and furniture to pieces, and after
ward gave himself up. The Jail is guarded to-
night and public feeling is at the lynching
point. Mrs. Lyttle and Della will die. The
only motive assigned is total depravity.
AT 1880 this Thursday morning mob
stormed the jail, took Lyttle out and hanged
him. When the mob first reached
the jail they could not gain ad-
mittance. They then procured oil
we'll drills and battered down the
door. Lyttle was dragged out into the street
and taken to the bridge and rope
as he was being pulled up a shot
The determined men were not to be baked,
however. Lyttle was picked up ana taken to
the nearest telegraph pole, where he was strung
up. His victims are still alive, but the death of
Mrs. Lyttle and daughter Della are hourly ex-
pected

HANGING THE CATTLE RUsTLERs.
Seventy-fve Stock Thieves to StretC
the Rope in Wyoming Presently.

seventy-five Stock Thieves to Stretch
the Rope in Wyoming Presently.
BUTTE, Mont, March Suspect al startling
news reached here from Lander, Wyo., today to
the effect that in Northern Wyoming in a few
days from now seventy-fve cattle rustlers will
stretch hemp at the greatest hanging that will
ever be recorded in this country. In 1888, in
Northern Montana, between forty and fifty cat
tie and horse thieves were hanged by the ranch
ers as rapidly they could be captured, but
Wyoming promises to beat the record unless all
signs fail.
For ten years past a band of cattle rustlers
have operated in the region of country east and
south OF the National park. The courts have
been powerless toconvict, owing to the perfect
organization OF trained witnesses, whose testi-
mony was always overwhelmingly in favor of
the defendants. The thieves were SO bold that
for long time they have been doing business
as incorporated companies with high-sounding
names. Hundreds of rauchers and big cattle
companies all over Montana, Wyoming and
Western Nebraska. having cattle south of the
Crow reserve, have suffered losses of from ten
to several hundred head of cattle and horses,
and such has been the extent of the stealing in
some cases that whole herds have disappeared.
No maverick ever escaped the clutches of the
rustlers. 1t is evident that they have got rich
from their incursions.
At last the eattlemen have got together a
delegation of thirty from Eastern Montana who
passed through here few days ago heavily
armed. and with horses, grain, ETC., for long
trip. They came down on the railroad. At
some point of rendezvous near Lander they will
meet by agreement at least $50 other men, all
prepared for the coming expedition, and COM
ing from different points in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming and Nebraska The expedition will
move north fully go strong, and it ia probable

S O'Clock. the doors being opened at 7:l5. The

they are even now right in the heart of the cat

that region who do not belong to rustlers but
who have bsen in terror OF their lives
TO such an extent that they dared not

gets to work the rustlers will all be
pointed out by these men, aad many tree will

will meet their doom. At least seventy-fiye,
perhaps 100 men, will thus go out OF business.

WANT THEIR OWN WATER WORKS.
Ballard Citizens Discuss the Question
and Decide Against q Franchise.

A largely attended meeting of citizens
of Ballard was held Tuesday evening in
Berg's hall to discuss the question whether
the city should own its own water system
or grant a franchise to a corporation.
The meeting was called in conse-
quence of q petition from the North
western ArtesIan Oil, Gas and Test
Well and Water-works Construction
Company to the city council to either pay
$4,000 for well or wells sufficient to sup
ply the town with water, or grant the
company franchise. George Weber was
chairman and A. McCann secretary of the
meeting. and about 200 persons were pres
ent.
Councilmen Williams, Frazer and Cur
tiss refused TO speak, as they came only to
learn public opinion, but Mayor Rinehart
spoke at length, condemning the present
system and advising the granting of a
franchise He also discussed many ques-
tons which had little to do with the OBJ
ject of the meeting. Judge Thomas Burke
spoke at the request of Captain w. r.
Ballard. After praising the location and
progress of the town and saying that the
fact that he was the original owner
of the site was his excuse for appearing
there, he predicted q rapid future
growth, and urged the necessity of making
the town healthy one. To do this they
must have water and plenty of it, and the
town of Ballard could be best served bv
the town of Ballard, and should own its
own wateI-works.
Matthew Dow, w. H. Vernon and others
made telling speeches in favor of the town
owning its own system of water-works.
c. IL. Hebner and DIR. J. II. Rinehart
spoke number of times, each time urging
the audience to grant franchise to the
Artesian Company.
Finally the audience passed a resolu-
ton that the town should own its own
water-works and that no franchise should
be granted. Then a number of resolutions
were introduced, but only served 10 create
confusion, and the audience adjourned
without further action. although express
ing decided opinion not TO grant any
franchise TO the artesian company or any
other The question OF bonding the town
was also discussed.
