Austin, Texas. June 12.-While the
House was in session this morning they
did nothing inasmuch as they had no
quorum. Immediately upon conven-
ing a quorum was missing and while
every effort was made to secure the
attendance of absent members 1t was
without avail and the House at IL
O'Clock adjourned for the day. During
the discussion Of why there was no
quorum on hand which was permitted
by general consent. 1t developed that
good many of the members present
thought that the absentees were not on
hand for the reason that they wanted
to defeat the fee bill legislation and
they could best effect their purpose by
having no quorum. Some of the
members even went so far as to inti-
mate that they thought they would
have no quorum this week in order to
kill the fee bill and along this line Mr..
Fields of Hill sent I'D a resolution
which was adopted instructing the
W llOtlly all dDSSll-
tees that they must be on hand here
Monday morning.
Another feature of this mo session
was the introduction of a resolution
by Mr.. Dickinson asking the railroads
to revoke all the passes issued to the
members in the hope that they would
then stay here and transact business
instead of running off home and ca
vorting around the country. The res
olution was held out of order by the
speaker. Thus it was that the House
did nothing though they jollied one
another for two hours before they fl
nally quit.
over in the Senate end similar con-
dition of affairs existed. The Senate
had quorum at converting but soon
lost 1t and failed to find it again.
They did nothing during the day.
The free conference committee on the
fee bill finally got their report ready
yesterday noon on the bill. 1t is prac-
ticably the Senate bill with the excep-
ton that the sheriffs are taken out
from under the maximum provisions.

CHEYENNE WAR CLOUD.

Surrender of the Indian Murderer
Stanley Has Cleared the Horizon.
Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Washington, June 12.-Capt. Stouch,
Indian agent of the Tongue River res
ervation, has submitted a detailed re-
port Of the Indian trouble of that Sec
ton. He says the trouble was caused
principally by a clash of authority
between the United States and state
authorities. Serious trouble might
have resulted had the sheriff been al
lowed to take the young Indian brave,
Stanley, who murdered the white man,
named Hoover into custody at the be-
ginning. The Indian Stanley, who is
accused of the murder, declined to sur
render and sent word to Agent Stouch
that he would fight at 3 o'clock that
day. According to Indian custom he
declared himself in war dress and took
his stand on a hill near the agency,
sending in his challenge. The agent
got the head men of the Indians to-
gether and informed them he would
not allow a duel and they must make
Stanley surrender. A big crowd of In
dams had gathered and it was thought
fight would incite them to take a
hand.
Some days afterward Stanley came
in and surrendered and waslocked up.
The sheriff then demanded him and
he was taken to Miles City. Every
thing is now quiet.

city. Applications from several Mis-
souri, bands and others outside of the
state have been received, but the in
tention being to confine these prizes
to the military bands of the Texas
Volunteer Guard, the management
has declined to accept entries from out
side bands. A letter received from Gen.
Mabry yesterday indicated that proba-
bly, a dozen of the best bands in the
state would be mustered into the T. V.
G. on account of this contest. Hardly
day passes that does not bring an ap-
plication to permit a band to muster in
and participate in the camp and con-
test. 1t is probable therefore that
this event will prove of more than the
usual value to the guard, as ii will
bring to their ranks the best musical
talent in the state. Unquestionably,
If these contests were a regular thing,
the zeal of the entire volunteer guard
would be greatly enhanced 4.
The mana cement expresses the hope
that the state encampment with pri-
yes offered by citizens associations or
otherwise may be held regularly each
year as a result of the undoubted sue
cess of this present undertaking.

MURDERER CAPTURED.
CoNFESsES TO THE GUILT OF AN
ACCOUNTABLE CRIME.
Murdered Three Persons Near Ploresville
Last Sunday And Was Rounded
In Yesterday.

The Light was informed yesterday
afternoon of the capture of Mexican,
named Maxine Martinez, wanted in
Floresville, charged with having COM
mitted most dastardly crime.
Last Sunday, A Mexican man, his
wife and daughter were murdered at
Floresville, and Martinez, who had
been paying considerable attention to
the girl, was suspected. He had ask
ed the girl to run away with him, but
led to the crime.
At any rate, Martinez had been mis-
sing since the murder was committed.
A posse of officers went in pursuit Of
him. They hunted high and low.
Sheriff Morris, of Karnes county, with
a number of others, took the direction
towards the Rio Grande, believing that
Martinez was headed towards Mex
leo.
After a five-days' chase they discov-
cred the trail of their man and captur-
ed him somewhere near the boundary
line of McMullen and Webb counties.
He was afoot and shoeless. When he
saw that all hope for escape was lost
he surrendered and confessed that he
is the man wanted. No time was lost
in taking him to Floresville, where he
arrived yesterday in custody of the Of
ficers and placed in the Wilson coun-
ty Jail. A crowd of about 400 people
was at the depot to meet the officers
and the prisoner, and for a while it
appeared as if necktie party was be-
ing organized.
In order to avoid any Ohio trouble
the train was stopped before it reach
ed the depot, and the prisoner was
quietly hustled off to jail, while the peo-
pie waited at the depot only to be dis
appointed.
The posse consisted of two officers
of Wilson, three of Karnes and two of
Atascosa counties. Their man was
caught on the Osmon ranch in McMul-
len county by Juan Cara. The ac-
cused feared he was going to be lynch
ed and made a full confession to the
officers, begging earnestly for protec-
ton. He detailed how he killed Plu-
tarco Garlic, aged 81 years, Dolores
Garlic, aged 81 years and the Is year
old girl Juanita Acosta, the latter af
ter he had ravished her. He said he
would have killed the Martinez family,
also, including his wife, from whom he
was separated, had not daylight come
too quickly. He said he loved the
Acosta girl and she would not elope
with him.
The officers of the posse desire to ex-
press their thanks to the citizens along
the trail they journeyed for the great
assistance and many kindnesses ten
dered them.

Some people use their energies in a
way that wastes the greater part of

keeps them constantly wasting pre-

People do not want irritation or stimu-
lation. When anyone is tired he
wants rest not stimulants. When any
ones erergies begin to flag recupera-
ton, not irritation, is wanted.
''All tired OUT some people say, II

idea. No doubt such one is in need

stimulants. Stimulants draw upon the

they produce no vigor When one is
