SHERIFF AND PRISONER
Left Today for Tallahassee, Florida,
Where William Gavin Will be
Tried for Murder.

Sheriff Walker, of Tallahassee,
Florida, left via the G. II. this after.
noon for home, with William Gavin
the young negro wanted at Tallahassee
to answer the charge of numbering an.
other negro named William Bryant.
Gavin offered no opposition to re-
, turning to Florida and although re-
QUESTION paper we're procured they
we're not necessary.
Sheriff Walker says Gavin was ar
rested for shooting the negro and at
the preliminary hearing discharged
The wOunded.man afterwards died and
made an ante norton statement which
set forth that Gavin did the shooting.
A warrant was then sworn out, but
Gavin had left the state AMI come to
Ell Psso.
The man Bryant was shot in August,
1898, while hunting. He died three
months later.
Gavin was in the same woods at the
time of the shooting and was arrested
charged with assault to kill. He was
released after examination by the ma
gistrate and subsequently came to Ell
Paso. After Bryant died his father
swore out warrant against Gavin.
then in this city, and it is to answer
this new charge that he was taken
back to Tallahassee.
Gavin was not fugitive from JUS
tice, as there was no charge against
him when he left Florida. He had
been tried and acquitted and when he
verybody. He came to Ell Paeo in
Novem Der and has been correspond ding
with his friends in Florida ever since.
His friends believe that he will have

good but the owner spoiled it by trying
to carry too much effect. The contralto
was a disappointment and the singing
