SHE HANGED HER LOVER.
A Texas Girls Remarkable Confession OF
Deed Prompted by Jealousy.

A Texas Girls Remarkable Confession Of
Deed Prompted by Jealousy.
Z The body of Albert Blackman, q well TO
do youpg man, was found near Logarto,
Tex, "a week ago. Around his neck was
rope, and it was evident that he had been
hanged TO the limb Of a tree under which
the body lay. He had last been seen alive
In the company Of Bessie Harris, the
daughter Of farmer Of that locality. At
the C, roner's inquest Bessie testified that
Blackman committed suicide by hanging,
and that she witnessed the dSed, and after
he was dead she cut his body down.
Suspicion was aroused, and warrants
were Issued for the arrest of the Harris girl
and her father and mother. The prelimi-
nary examination of the prisoners has just
beensheld, and through the confession Of
Bessie Harris on the witness stand the full
details of the crime came out. She said
that Blackman had been courting her for
some time against the wishes of her par
ents, and that the latter, through their
talk, caused her to become insanely jealous
of the young man. Her father finally ar
ranged with her to put Blackman out Of
the way.
On the night of the killing she met
Blackman and they went for walk. She
detained her lover in lonely place until
her father arrived with a rope, and they
then told Blackman that they were going
to hang him. The girl states that Black
man did not offer any resistance while the
rope was being placed about his neck, and
that she tied the knot with her own hands.
Then at the command of her father Black
man climbed a tree and swung himself off.
"He died very easily" concluded the girl.
After he was quiet cut the rope and let
his body down to the ground"
The girl and her parents are held for
murder. er.-Philadelphia Times

ATTACKED BY A STALLION.
California Mans Desperate Struggle and
Narrow Escape.

A fight with "a mad stallion occurred the
other afternoon in the heart of Los An
geles. j. w. Sulander was the victim of
tho enraged beast and narrowly escaped
with his life. The stallion Is owned by
George Hare and Is ordinarily as gentle
an animal as could be desired, but of late
he has been exceedingly restive and hard
to handle.
Mr.. Hare had him In his corral securely
fastened, as he thought, and little atten-
tlon was paid to him. The animal by
sudden plunge broke his halter, and before
the stableman could stop him out Of the
corral he dashed and galloped down the
street, turning into Olive. At this time
Mr.. Sulander was walking along Second
street and turned into Olive. The stallion
had not paid any attention to passersby
thus far, just galloping along, kicking up
his heels and enjoying his freedom.
But the sight Of Mr.. Sulander seemed to
infuriate the animal, for he made dash
at the pedestrian and bore him to the
ground. Mr.. Sulander at first did not
know that he was being attacked, think
ing the horse was runaway steed which
had collided with him, but before he could
move the beast commenced striking him
with his forefeet and swapping his power.

cries for aid.
