Maj. L. j. Brown for $25, 900 for
alleged slander. | have been hear

frivolous and as not worthy of con-

the time Mr.. II. I. jenkins was
put in Jail during the celebrated
i5urgwyn-Jenkins suit, Mai.

warehousemen, said, upon hearing

processing which convulsed the surround
ing rangers with laughter.
The concentration OF the rangers at this
point, after their thorough scouting of the
country in the vicinity of Garza's home, has
convinced everyone that, having driven him
from that vicinity, they have located him in
his new quarters, an opinion which has
been strengthened by their subsequent
movements.
There is no question but the rangers
about Patio Blanco and the Fitzsimmons
ranch and the rounding up of the country
adjacent to Concepcion have forced the
fugitive upon the scouts thrown ont by
Capt. Brooks, and his presence was
promptly ascertained by them. The dis
patches from the ranger camp at Pena TO
Gen. Mabry at Kings ranch, via Alice,
were the first information of the discovery.
AS soon as these dispatches were sent, both
the state troops ard the Federal forces
which were stationed at Palito Blanco, re-
ceiyed orders to break camp and march TO
the scene of action. The chase wakes

power to local authorities and to local
representatives so as TO disceutralize
state education, and the power OF teach
ers is placed on footing more satisfactory
than has hitherto been practicable But
the bill also accepts the principle at present
prevailing of UNCONVENTIONAL education in
the sense that every school is denomina-

school. This is regarded by a strong

Special to the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Jan. 31-The news
from the upper part Of the Rio Grande
border concerning the movements of the
revolutionary force said to be under COM
mand of Catarlno Cara in the state Of
Coahuila has been very meager during the
past forty-eight hours. DR.. Plutarco Or
nellas maintains guarded secrecy on all
that he has learned of the affair.
The widow of the late Gen. Ignacio Mar
tinez is publishing Spanish paper called FL
ManGo in LAREDO. The issue of yester-
day contains revolutionary article of deep
interest, embracing some sensational news.
The translation reads as follows 1.-The
intrepid Cara is organizing his army
in the state of Tamaulipas and Goa
hula, where all the people are in sympa-
thy with his cause, and according to
reports the states of Vera Cruz, PueDla and
Guanajuato are preparing their proposed
revolt with extraordinary activity. 1t is a
fact that capitalists and military men of
ability are interested in the revolution, but
being afraid of appearing before the public
as enemies of the government they will not
openly declare their position IN
til more favorable oppor-
tunity occurs. It is learned on
reliable authority that relative Of the

age, was killed last night by United States
Deputy Marshal G. H. Bruner. He was killed
Ten miles east of here in the mountains
Bruuer was on the lookout for Hampton
and suddenly found him alone in the road.
call for surrender was made, and Hamp-
ION held up his hands, but as quick as a
lash he fell from his horse and began
firing, but none of the shots took
effect. Bruner then emptied one barrel of
ais shotgun, killing tue horse and wound
ng Hampton. Another attempt was made
10 shoot the marshal, when the second
barrel Of the shotgun took of the top of
Hampton's head. Hampton, when only
'ourteen years old, il. company with his
,ather killed an old mar by the name of
Herman, four years ago. For this odense
le was sent TO the reform school at Wash
ngtOn for eight years and his father
was sent to Detroit for ten
years. After staying in the reform
school about eight months he effected his
escape and returned to this country and
took part in killing Bill Crsty. Six
weeks ago he and John Brown called Josiah
Poorboy and Whitehead, both deputy
United States marshals, out to their gate
and shot them dead. At that time he had
defed the authorities
After killing Hampton, Bruner hurried
on and arrested John Brown. Brown told
the marshal where a lot of the stolen
plumber was. 1t had been taken

BTuner deserves much credit for his
bravery. Knowing that it was certain
death TO go in that neighborhood on horse
back he left his horse twelve miles away.
