THREE PERSONS ARRESTED FOR
THE MURDER.
1t Was Claimed Tint the Newborn
Child Had Died a Nat
Z urai Death. 10

Paris, Tex, Oct. S.-(Special.)-A
most shocking story of child murder
comes here from the Chickasaw Ma
ton. In June, 1894, a young man mar
ried a young woman of a respectable
family. six weeks after the marriage
his wife gave birth to a child. The at
tending physician says it was all right
except its spinal column was slightly
curved caused by the tight lacing of
the mother to conceal her condition
1t was never seen by the neighbors and
the woman's husband and parents gave
out that 1t died. People We're never sat
isfied and one man found evidence of
foul play and confronted them with It,
They offered him 5000 to keep quiet,
which he agreed to do. and the money
was paid over. The story leaked out,
however, and the Federal grand jury
that met at Ryan recently investigated
and found that Indian Territory
courts had no jurisdiction and the case
was placed in the hands of a deputy
marshal OF the court here, who devel-
oped the foregoing facts Warrants
have been issued for the father, moth
err and husband of the woman for MUIR
der, and by this time they are proba-
bly, all under arrest.

Corn, Hogs ana Molasses From
His Neighbors.

gave the father forty and the son
twenty lashes. The old man was ac-
cused OF stealing corn. hogs. molasses
and other things. There were no
charges against the young man, and
1t seems that he was whipped for be-
ing the son Of his father. When the
old man complained to his neighbors
and told them why he had been whip
ped, he was told that II he was guilty
he ought to have been hanged. when
such articles were as cheap as they
are.

PLEASED WITH LEGISLATION.
zounves Going to the Dallas Fair
Received Rain.

Terrell. Tex, Oct. s.-Gpecial.)-
The rain Saturday night did the coun-
try considerable good, but it was not
very heavy.
The legislators are home and seem
well satisfied with the legislation on
prize-fghting. Captain ]. X. Bumpass
says that there will be no fight, and IL
there should be an effort to pull off
the fight in Texas that 1t would be the
bloodest fight in Texas for a long time.
1t Is believed by some that there will
be an effort to fight in Texas, but others
think that an effort OF that kind would
so enrage the people and those in au-
thorlty that there would be a general
uprising all over the state among the
better class OF citizens. Others think
there is nothing in what isbelng given
out but gusto.
The Greene Zouaves expect to be at
the Dallas fair and in good shape. The
company has been organized only a
few weeks but is well up In drill and
will commence in earnest when the
guns arrivse, which will be In short
while.

HE LOVED HIS DOGS.
Mrs. Sprague's Novel Complaint Against
Her Husband.


Willis E. Sprague has filed his answer
to the suit for divorce brought against
him by his wife Emma, and the document,
by the specific denials which run riot
through its typewriter pages, tells queer
story of domestic infelicity.
In his answer Willis denies that he was
unfai thful; he denies that he was unkind
to his wife in any way whatever; he de-
MES that he ever applied any epithets to
her but those of the most endearing ma
ture.. He denies that he insulted her when
she was sick and unable to defend herself
either by word or action, and, strongest of
all, he denies that he has withdrawn all
the affection which he had held for her
and lavishes it upon his dogs. Nor will he
even admit that his dogs run all over the
house and are in every room and hallway,
nor that the plaintiff was compelled to
care for the said dogs when they were sick.
All these things had been alleged in the
complaint of the hapless wife, and she
also asked for the custody of her child;
but here again Willis appears in his
answer, and AYERS that ne and he alone is
entitled to the care of the child, and he
accordingly asks for it. incidentally he
asks for a divorce himself on the ground of
the plaintiffs cruel and inhuman attitude
toward him in bringing this suit against
him, and alleging cruelty and neglect and
an abnormally developed affection for
dogs.
The case of Bessie Schwartz against Isl
dore Schwartz, suit for alimony, came
before Judge Seawell yesterday. Schwartz
acted as his own lawyer, and cross-ques-
toned his wife closely as to how much she
spends upon the child. which has been
placed in her custody. Mrs. Schwartz as
serts that her husband makes $3.50 at his
tailoring business, and she wants enough
from it to help support herself and the
child. The case was taken under advise
ment.

vorce from G, e. Holden on the ground of

DEFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS.
The Supreme Court Again Passes Upon q
Jury Charge.


Another reversal of the proceedings of
the Superior Court because of the irregu-
larity of Judges charge to jury has
been made by the Supreme Court. The
case in question came from the courts of
Tulare County. w. F. Demarters was
tried and convicted of the crime of may
hem, committed upon James Crawford. A
motion was asked for and denied.
The point of the case was that the Judge
did not charge the jury that they could
find the defendant guilty of less offense
than the crime of mayhem. Counsel for
the defense called the courts attention to
the omission and he was told there was no
written charge upon that point prepared
and submitted and that the court did not
feel justified in giving an impromptu IN
struction upon that question.
The Supreme Court holds it to be the
duty of the court to instruct the jury upon
every phase of the law bearing upon a
case and particularly when counsel Tor
either side desire that such instructor, be
given In this case the court holds that
the instruction asked for was within what
it is the power of courts to give. The fact
that no written charge had been prepared
seemed to have no effect upon the ruling
of the higher tribunal.
