The coming of daylight materially less
ened the anxiety aroused by last night s
attack upon the barracks, when small
band of insurrectos who had managed to
slip through the lines into the city demol-
ished a portion Of the barracks with
bombs and escaped without loss.
No Federals Killed.
The authorities persist in their declara-
ton that the federal troops suffered no
loss in killed or wounded, and gave re-
peated assurances that there was nc
cause for anxiety. Business has been re-
stunned, and most of those who had
planned TO take refuge on the American
side changed their minds this morning.

near the city in any great numbers. the
small band under Capt. Oscar Creighton,
the American, being the only one re.
ported at all close at hand.

tention of the defense that the woman

was committed the utmost penalty that
can be imposed is Incarceration in a state
institution for the criininally insane. The
defense does not ask for an acquittal.
Asks for Conviction.
The prosecution on the other hand CON-
tends that the woman was sane and
should be convicted of murder in the
first degree with its statutory penalty
Of death.
When court convened George \. Palmer
of counsel for the defendant. began his
closing address 1t was a plea for q
woman "fatherless. motllerless. husband
less. penn!less. helpless" and had visible
effect on the emotions of the jury.
He argued that her alleged confession
to the Rochester police was drawn from
her by the suggestion. and that she had
not at the time of the killing, or now. any
comprehension Of the crime.
When Mr.. Palmer closed District Attor-
uey Sanford proceeded to sum up for the
prosecution.

A Sunday School teacher who
after hearing the lesson, goes away
absenting himself from the preach
ing service, shows the pastor great
discourtesy, puts a low value OH the
gospel of Jesus Christ, and sets a
most deplorable example for his
class. If the teacher thus treats
the pastor and his sermon, we can
not expect very much better of his
class. Under such conditions no
pastor can do his work" Sunday

Dear Sir:-I wish to correct an

A motion was made by William
Matlock to allow the people to let
the cattle run at large according to
the direction of the Texas cattle
tick inspectors; that the Texas tick
could be eradicated in forty days,
and the people had complied with
thier direction three times forty
days.
spectfully ask the county court to
grant us the privilege OF letting
our cattle run at large, and give us
the chance to eradicate our past
ures if there are any ticks there
and we propose to see that the cat
tie are clean before turning them
out. This was signed by some two
hundred people.
Mr.. A. j. Fry asked the Judge
how much it would cost the county
to let it stand as it is, till the flrs
of April. The Judge said that Il
would not cost very much, as there
we're only two inspectors on duty
