Inquired how they had come to make tlis trip.
The immigrant said there. were many more

he concluded to emigrate. he had nine horses,
He could not sell them for anything. so con-
cluded to drive to Oregon, save railroad fare,
bought q carriage and a cart for his family, and,
loading his outfit In a farm wagon, hitched up
his horses and struck out.

shoot his horses and come by railroad. He
could have arrived At his destination In three

DALLAS LETTER.

To the DAILY LIGHT:
DALLAS, Tex, Dec. 10. 1894.
The trial of Dr.Jones for the kill
ing Of Captain Veal, is going on,
and great interest is shown. With
the exception Of blacksmith and
Waterman, the jury is composed
Of farmers.
Many witnesses from distance
were introduced, all OF whom tes-
titled as to the general reputation
Of Capt. Veal. The testimony of one
witness voiced the opinion of all
that NeaPs reputation as to indie
cent and insulting conduct toward
women, was bad. 1t remains to be
seen whether the jury will con-
clude that the imprisoned man
was justifiable in shooting down,
without moments warning,
man who had insulted a woman
% years ago.
While property is cheap Mayor
Barry urges the Council to pur-
chase same for parks and plazas.
He says he thinks $4,000 spent in
this would be of incalculable
benefit to the public.
At a late meeting Of the council
one Of the aldermen thought the
mayor should be allowed two days
leave of absence without deduction
of pay, such deduction not to effect
the pay Of the mayor pro tenn.
Mayor Barry was not in favor of
this; said it was equivalent to
paying salaries to two mayors.

1t will be remembered that while

but for many months he lay a

to be amputated, he became

sympathy for the poor creature
that a petition asking Governor
Hogg to pardon him, was circulat-

was pardoned before going to the
