bogus bank account.
Johnny Frame, alias “Kid,” Passes
Bogus Checks on the City National
and Clears Out, to the Discom-
fort of Several.
A youthful gambler, not exceeding
twenty-two years of age, whom the pro-
fessionals have nick-named “Kid,” wiped
the dust of the city off his feet Sunday
afternoon, and boarding the 3:45 train,
started for parts unknown. Prior to going
he wanted to raise a suit ot clothes and
some money. To do this, he approached
Fred. Finney, an employee of J. II. Al-
dridge, after supper at the National hotel,
and said he wanted the loan of $25 ; that
he had money in the City National Bank,
and he would give Finney a check for the
amount, which he could get on Monday
when the bank opened.
Finney was undecided and hesitated,
when Mr. Craft, the proprietor, overhear-
ing the request, and having a good deal ot
confidence in the youth, offered to go
Frame’s security, and the money was ad-
vanced.
He next went to Dahlman Bro.’s and
purchased $49 worth of clothing, for
which they accepted his check. He then
borrowed a five-shooting pistol of Willie
Craft, and early Sunday afternoon he took
his clothes from the room at the hotel
where he was boarding, on the pretext of
changing them alter taking a bath.
The next seen of him was at the depot,
where lie took passage on the 3 :45 train
and lett, going no one knows where, but
it is supposed that Leadville is his desti-
nation.
The checks, ol course, when presented
were worthless, as be had no money de-
posited.
Johnny is rather small, dark complected,
black hair, and an attack of white swell-
ing has made his right leg stiff. He is
wanted by those whom he has swindled,
and strenuous effons are being made to
catch the run-away.
Batchers’ Bereavement.
Messrs. Orrick & Vincent, butchers,
were brought up in the recorder’s court
yesterday morning, charged with ob-
structing the sidewalk by banging dressed
beeves in trout of their markets. The
jury failed to agree, and the case was con-
tinued until Saturday.
It is certainly an eye-sore to parties
passing by, saying nothing of the offensive
odor which the practice engenders. Some
of the butchers use much more space on
the walks than is convenient to pedes-
trians, and if they must inflict a nuisance
on the public, they should be made to
conform with the strict woiding of the
ordinance regulating sidewalk obstruc-
tions.
Call for Calico.
The calico ball, under the auspices of
the Hebrew benevolent association, to be
given on Purim eve—Saturday, March 8
—at Evans ball, will be one of the most
novel and enjoyable events of the season.
Grand preparations are being made, and
the young ladies bad better hurry up and
make their selections in prints, as our
merchants report their calico patterns fast
disappearing.

NORTH TEXAS NOTES.
Denton county has a crowing dog.
Comanche county scrip is worth eighty
cants.
much sickness in Rockwall
The is
county.
Erath county has 14,000 population, and
a debt ot $13,000.
Terrell has paid out $12,000 for churches
in the last three years.
Hopkins county is debating a court-
house, to cost $30,000.
Much complaint of counterfeit money
is made by the merchants of Sherman.
Farmers of Hopkins county are b'ouyant.
despite financial troubles and the strin-
gency of the times.
The Chief says the grass in and around
Comanche will soon be as green as Rob-
inson, the Indian hero.
Mr, W. B. Blair, the county t reasurer of
Bell county, lias a plow which he certi-
fies has been in the possession ot bis fam-
ily and in steady use for forty-eight years,
and it looks as if it would last as long
again.
The Sulphur Springs Tribune says “the
railroad contractor has just entered into a
contract to lay down the iron from Car-
rollton directly to this city, and it is con-
fidently expected that the East Line will
be here in forty clays from this time.”
The Sunny Clime, of Rockwall, is to be
removed to Terrell, tor divers and sundry
enumerated reasons* At Rockwall the
editor was even compelled to do without
sugar and coffee in order to buy paper; at
Rockwall “many persons in earnest about
the permanent success of our paper, but
none of them longer than ten minues at a
time. rl he history of Rockwall is a his-
tory of blunders. Little attention to edu-
cation, and too much diversion of a hurt-
ful tendency. Little horticultural culture ;
too many houses in need of repairs ; ex-
cessive rent; indifference to the true es-
sentials of a good business town ; a total
lack of public spirit; apathy in regard to
the wonderful march of civilization all
around. A sad want of co-operation on
the part of lawyers, physicians, business
men and farmers in taking the lead in lit-
erary enterprises, such, for example, as a
debating society.” And now the Sunny
dime is to be-moved to Terrel, where we
trust its editor may have rich mocha,
plenty of sugar and a debating society.
Bast Answer to Series No. 1, Evening
Journal.
Under the influence of—excitement men
of but limited knowledge and intelligence,
have been known to commit deeds, which
in ordinary circumstances and practice of
their every day life are seldom met with.
Facts are stubborn things, meet them as
we may. Second rate lawyers are by no
means excepted, and all illiterate and
worthless so-called newspapers included.
Whenever a printed sheet is in so much
need of support and public notice tlmt it
has to undertake “dirty work,” and med-
dle with the faculty of law and common-
sense, and step so low as to attack the
“good name” of a fellow-citizen, and de-
prive him ot the brightest and only
jewel he and his family possess, in or-
der to accomplished some mean object in
view, it is time to make it pay a litile ex-
tra tor the privilege of knowing that “he
who steals is a thiet,” and “he who takes
that which enriches him not, ‘evil speak-
ing,’ ” (tlie Bible expression lor slander,)
commits a crime of the darkest hue, be-
ing closely associated with theft, robbery
and assassination. He who stabs one’s
reputation, is the assassin of character,
and society’s deadliest foe. The mur-
derer administers the fatal poison, with
premediated purpose to destroy human
lite, the slanderer deals in that worst of
poisons, which ever finds an easy entrance
to ignoble minds. Society must arrest its
progress, and effectually quarantine and
bar its entrance by “another” iron
door.
In conclusion, my words to the Evening
Journal ;\re that 1 have learned to be my
own lawyer in its case, practicing ur
the diploma of the ^faculty ol com
sense."
My office is adjacent to the Evening
Journal. J. A. Watts.

Prominent Visitors.
A letter was received here yesterday by
Capt. Soule from Col. W. H. 11. Law-
rence, now in Rutland, Vfc. He says that
his trip in the interests of emigration will
result in much good. Two very promi-
nent business men of that state, Jno.
Baxter, vice-president of the Baxter
bank, and Judge Dunton, of the supreme
court of the state, will soon visit this city,
and in the event that the prospects are
favorable, they may be induced to change
their anode and move to this locality.
Both of these gentlemen are men of
worth and standing, and will be valua-
ble acquisitions to any community. It is
to be hoped that they may receive a
warm welcome on their arrival.
He Wanted to Cist Out.
A cow boy seated himself at tlie El
Paso dinner table Sunday, and began up-
on the bill of fare. Alter keeping three
waiters nearly an hour employed in
bringing dishes to him, after finishing
up all that he could see before him, lie
loosened the buckle on the back of his
overalls, motioned one of the Peruvian
blonde provender providers, heaved a
sign, and whispered as lie spread the bill
of fare before him : “Mister. I've chucked
to thar,” and moving his finger down to
the bottom of the programe, “ ’ef it ain't
agin the rules of yer house, I’d powerful
well like to skip from that to tliar.” He
skipped.
