The BLACK AGENTS.
Story About a Remarkable Muir
derouS Gang in Texas.

SlOIy hOoAS L1OIiIcAl NCOIO Nl
derous Gang in Texas.
Information was furnished the
Louisville police, says a special
from that city to the Globe. Demo
crat, which may result in the cap.
ture of one of the most daring or
gained bands of outlaws that ever
terrorzsd Texas, even in the earli-
est days. The organization is
known as "The Black Agents"
The gang is the one which of late
has committed so many red-handed
deeds in Austin.
The information given to the
chief of police is in the nature of
letter addressed to John Wanner,
we'll known citizen, and is from his
sister, who resides at Bluff Springs,
Travis county, Tex. Some time
ago Wanner wrote his sister that he
intended closing out his business
here and with a few thousand
dollars 60 to Austin and there en-.
gage in business on larger scale.
He also informed his sister in Texas
that he would bring his unmarried
sister with him, that young lady be-
ing engaged to a man in Austin. In
answer, the sister, the wife of Paul
Wende, advised her brother not to
come to Texas. She said in the
event of their coming to Austin she
knew of plot formed by her
husband to murder Wanner for the
money he would bring with him.
Then followed the most interest.
ing part of the story. Mrs. Wende
said since marriage life had been a
most unhappy burden for her, but
that she was completely in the
power of her disreputable husband,
and the warning she wrote was sent
in peril of her life. She then said
her life was nothing compared to
the love she bore her brother and
sister, against whom her husband
and his coHfederates were plotting.
The unhappy woman said her house
was the rendezvous of band known
as the "Black Agents. which was
composed of three women and
four men, all of whom had
taken an oath to be loyal to
each other and to 1.-The Black
Agents." but to pillage and murder
whomsoever they could. Mrs.
Wende then told of several muir.
ders "The Black Agents" had
committed in that immediate vicini.
ty, and also alluded to others which
occurred in California. She said
her husband is the leader of the or.
ganization, and closed the letter by
stating she could not plead too hard
for her brother and sister to remain
away from Texas. The mode of
disposing of their victims, as de.
scribed by Mrs. Wende, i. similar
to the way in which the mysterious
murders about Austin have been
committed. The woman says the
victims are chloroformed and then
stabbed.
