ISOLATION of Texas by cutting out the
appropriation for the annual encamp-
ment the state Will have no further use
for the encampment grounds. With this
fact in mind, Representative Ward last
afternoon drew up, and will today intro
duce, concurrent resolution in the
house, returning to the citizens of Austin
the ninety odd acres of land now known
as Camp Mabry, and which was donated
to the state with the understanding that
there should be annual encampments
held thereon. The citizens of Austin do
mated the grounds with all honesty of
purpose and fulfilled their part of the
contract, but both the Twenty fourth and
Twenty-fifth legislatures have wlfully
violated the states part of the obligation,
and Representative Ward now proposes
to return to the rightful owners the prop
cry that was received by the state with
one understanding and yet is held in
open violation of all agreements. The
members of the legislature should GER
tainly adopt this concurrent resolution
and act squarely in the matter. If they
don't intend to have an encampment
they ought to return to the citizens of
Austin the grounds.

NOT THE MAN.
A Suspected Murderer and Robber
Held by the Police.


Sheriff Diderman of Guadalupe coun-
ty yesterday reached Austin ON hunt
after man who committed robbery
and murder in his county few days
ago. At the time large. number of
postage stamps were stolen. Friday and
Saturday man from Llano named Rob
inson was around Austin paying out
stamps for drinks and cigars He was
arrested for drunkenness and as a sus-
pect by Officer Gibson, and Sheriff D-
derman, hearing of it, came over to see
if he was the murderer and robber. He
was not the man, and Sheriff Diderman
returned home last afternoon. The Aus
tin police had been informed of the rob-
berry and the carrying away of the
stamps, and they fastened on to Robin
son, who was lavishly paying out stamps,
as a suspect. Evil-doers have a tough
time getting around the Austin police.
Robinson is the man who assaulted
Officer Gibson as he was being conduct
ed to the station. He struck Officer Glib
son with his fist and then hit him ter
rife blow with the nippers which We're
fastened, to his wrists. He was finally
overcome and carried to the station, and
Officer Gibson's conduct in the whole
matter was that of an experienced Off
Ger, and he is to be commended for it.
He never drew his gun or used any un-
necessarily harsh measures.

Airship Again.

The airship made its appearance again
early yesterday morning. At least, three
young men who We're camping up on
Bull creek, at Huddle's point, say they
saw it. Messrs. Geo. Proctor, Ted
Tobin and Jno. Caldwell went up the
lake Saturday afternoon for couple of
days camp. and pitched their tents at
Huddles point. About 3 o'clock yester-
day morning it began to rain, and the
young men were compelled to get up and
fasten their tent. 1t was at this time
they saw the mysterious air craft. They
claim it was in sight fully fifteen min
utes and are positive they could not
have been mistaken. At intervals of
every few seconds it would throw its
searchlights, and the boys say the light
looked as big as four ordinary arc lights.
1t made its appearance from behind
Mount BOnnell and Travelled north. The
boys. broke camp last afternoon-they
say because. it was raining so hard, but
that mysterious light probably made the
rain seem wetter than usual,

THE OLD RANGERS.
The Boys of the Old Indian Trails to
Meet Tonight.

The ex-rangers living in the vicinity of
Austin will meet tonight at the court
house for the purpose of forming per-
manent organization. These men suf-
fered the privations and dangers of a
frontier life, protecting the advance guard
of civilization and their services to the
state can not be measured in dollars and
cents. Only a few of the older rangers
are left, but there are comparatively a
large number who were in the ranger
service from 1865 to 1880 and possibly
later.
The rangers of Texas have been in the
past as brave and gallant set of men
as ever went into battle and their very
name has made Texas famous the world
over.
The object of the meeting tonight is to
make local organization, but the move
ment is not confined to Austin. Elk
rangers all over the state. are interested
in the movement, which has for its OBJ
iect the perfecting of a state organiza-
ton. Ali ex-rangers in Austin and vi
cinity are invited to be present tonight.

A RUMORED RESIGNATION.
Representative Patterson is Going to
Resign, According to Statements.

1t was generally discussed in legislative
circles last afternoon that Representa-
tive Patterson of Bell county had ten
dered his resignation to the governor to
20 into immediate effect. Inquiry at the
governors office developed that no resig-
nation had been received there, and as
Mr.. Patterson had gone home he could
not be seen in person to ascertain the
truthfulness of the report. The cause
of Mr.. Patterson's supposed action in
this case is that he is not satisfied with
the action of the present legislature in
many respects, and rather than hang
around here for another month or so he
has decided to resign. 1t is believed that
Mr.. Patterson will reconsider his pro-
posed withdrawal, however, and will re-
main here. At least some of his friends
said last afternoon that they thought
he would recall his declaration # with
drawing as made to quite number yes
terday.
