Texas Brute Caught.
Monk Gibson, Who Murder
ed a Family, Now in Jail
Guarded by Militia.

Houston, Tex, Oct. 9.-This
morning the state rangers cap
tured Monk Gibson, the negro for
whom thousands of persons have
been searching for ten days for
the murder of Mrs Conditt, and
four children near Edna.
He has been placed in jail,
which is now surrounded by two
com. anies of militia. Excite
ment runs high. It is feared
there may be clash between
troops and citizens, who, had they
caught the murderer, would have
burnt him at the stake. That
spirit has by no means died out,
only the military so far prevent
ing its open action.
