CAESARS ASSASSIN
Believed to Now LanguiSh Behind
 Jail Bals.

Jim Boyd, q negro who lives near Shefrill, now languishes behind iail bars charged with the assassination of L. NJ. Ceaser, Il murder fresh with in the minds of our readers.
 The officers of the law are certain they have the light man.
 Harrison Roberts, another negro, is also under arrest as an accessory.
 Jim Boyd's arrest came about in the following manner. Roberts has for sometime been confined in jail on the charge of robbery, and when ar rested, said that he was in custody because of Ceaser's murder. This casual remark gave clew to the dastardly deed. Under pressure ast to what he knew about Geasar's mur- der, Roberts is said to have tod the whole story of how Jim Boyd tried to hire him to do the deed, and not being successful, Boyd is said to have committed the murder alone. and then fled to Sherrili on a mule. Boyd was then brought before u 8 grand jury to testify against Rob erts, but as soon as he left the jury room was arrested on the charge of murdering Caesar. We understand that the officers are in possession of the whole story of Caesars assass.- nation, and a confession is expected.

Der Of the city council in the near future
AS is generally known, Mr. Greer Is man
ager OF the Texas Arm and Pin company
position which requires his frequen
absence from the city and his closest at
tention when at his office in this city.
For this reason he feels that he will in
the future have less time to devote 10 the
duties OF alderman than he has had in
the past. and he also feels that no can not
sacrifice his business interests and his
conscience will not permit him 70 serve
the city in an official position unless he
fcan do his full duty. MIR. Greer viii
probably tender his resignation at the Sep
TENDER meeting OF the council.
