THE GOVERNORS ACTION.

News reached this city yesterday of
an exciting occurrence at Tyler, Tex,
ON Saturday, the day following the
respite granted by Gov. Hogg to Bill
Scott, the negro who so cruelty muir
dered an aged and respected citizen
of Smith county, by the name of
Curtis, and who was subsequently
tried, convicted and sentenced to be
hung at Tyler, Tex, on Friday of
last week. The sons anu numerous
other relatives of the murdered man
have already shown marked forbear-
ance in the matter, having surrender
ed all ideas of personal vengeance in
Difference to the laws of their country.
But when, after a fair trial in which
the murderer's guilt was established
beyond the shadow of doubt, the
news reached them of executive inter-
ference, all of their former bitterness
and undying hatred toward the slayer
Of their aged father returned, and
after organizing a posse Of determin-
ed men, they proceeded TO the Jail
where the condemned wretch was
confined with the avowed purpose of
taking the law into their own hands.
The scenes that followed, are said
to have been the most exciting ever
witnessed in that city. People had
gathered from all portions of the
country to see Scott hanged for the
murder of old man Curtis.
Some had not heard of the respite,
but had come to see lynching, and
some to take hand in it. II is said
there was an understanding to attack
the Jail ct 2 o'clock, and this was avert
ed only by prompt action.
The people were indignant at Gov.
Hogg's actions. At 2 o'clock the tide
turned from the Jail to the courthouse
to express their indignation. TO avert
this Gov. Hogg's friends worked like
beavers, but all of their applause was
met with Kisses and groans, and when
Finley and Mcllwaine were speaking
many persons SAID Diet us have him"
(Scott)
After great difficulty the more con-
sentative citizens of Tyler prevailed
upon the mob to defer action for two
weeks, that being the length of the
respite granted by the Governor.
The leaders of the party, which at one
time numbered nearly fifteen hundred
persons, then agreed to disband until
that date, when they swear to come
again to accomplish the purpose in
which they were defeated on Satur-
day.

BLooDsHED THREATENED,

The condition of affairs in the In
dian Territory continue threatening,
and little hope of an armistice is in
dulged in. The arrival Of Indian
Agent Leo Bennett at Antlers, which,
for time promised to lower by sew
eral degrees the fighting blood Of the
Choctaws, now appears to have had
only a temporary effect, and the rival
factions are again ready to take the
field for each others scalps. The con-
ference between Agent Bennett and
the so-called Insurgent Locke was
marked by mildness of demeanor
and consideration on the part of the
latter, which, under the present cir
cumstances, cannot fail to create a
favorable impression in the public
mind of the man who has been de-
picted in such sombre colors The
conference between Locke and his fol-
lowers and the agent, is in part de-
scribed as follows: When Agent
Bennett first met Locke and mis- band
they held flag, which was composed
of broad white stripe, with one Of
equal breadth below of red. Inquiry
was made az to its significance. They
said that the white stripe meant peace
and the red one war Under the ar
rangement il meant, "Peace first, then
war" Continuing, Locke said, they
are nothing but a mob and they
would murder us care not what
the consequences may be, | will de-
fend my home and my people. If this
organized mob was cut off from the
Choctaw treasury it would disband in
an hour. The nation is robbed to
prosecute the opposition to the pres
ent administration. lie then declared
that he would never disband as long
as the so-called militia remained in
the vicinity to terrorize and assassi-
nate citizens. He declared that he
knew nothing Of Willis Jones, the
only man for whom the militia had q
writ. The latest reports from the
scene Of impending conflict, declare
that an attack has been made by the
militia under Judge Rurke, upon
Locke's forces, during which an at
tempt was made to assassinate United
States Commissioner Gibbons, who at
the time of the unwarrantable on
slaught Of the militia, was engaged in
peace conference with Locke and
his men and who at the sound Of con-
hict left the premises. He was I'M
doubtedly fired at by the militia and
his escape is considered almost mir
aclc. The attack, which is denounced
as cowardly and unprovoked, proved
void of boodshed. But X has served
to show the militia in their true col
ors, and will perhaps be the means Of
bringing Uncle Sam prominently for
ward In the FIGHT

Make Haste to Defend Yourself

If you live in locality where mala-
ria is prevalent, with preventative
that experience indicates as the most
reliable of medical safeguards--Hos-
letters Stomach Bitters. Entirely
free from the objections--and they are
valid ones--which attach to the min
eral alkaloid quinine, it is far more ef-
fective, and its effects are not evane-
scent, but lasting, unlike those of the
drug. There are portions of our land
and none more beautiful and more
fertile--which at no season of the year
are entirely exempt from the malarial
scourge. In such regions Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has undergone q con-
tinuous test for the past forty years,
with results which have established
its reputation beyond all cavil as a
special defense against every form Of
malarial disease For biliousness also
it is an acknowledged specific, and it
is potent remedy for constipation,
dyspepsia, rheumatism and an impov-
erished condition of the blood.
