this afternoon the case of Nellie Horton,
charged with the murder of Charles

Cummings, to be cared for. At 10 O clock

was at her sisters house under guard of

pleads guilty. Judge Daingerfield says
he made this rule in order to save eX-
penses TO the State and prevent the mis-
carriage of justice.

he must meet his fate. Some
coats were piled under a big oak

Here his captors dismounted and
secured his horse and theirs to
scattering sapplings. He knew
from frequent glances cast down
the valley that they were waiting
yet for reinforcements. They
had not long to wait until a dozen
men came in sight. They were
well mounted and well dressed,
but were evidently greatly ex-
cited. They proceeded at once
to the pile of coats the stranger
had noted. Some were thrown.
