.THE Dti DLY KNIFE
IN THE HANDS OF A MEXICAN AT
M'NEIL KILLS TWO
OTHERS.
A Mexican Named Modesta While At-
tempting to Quiet a Fandango is
Assaulted by two Other Mex-
icans Whom He Kills.
Sheriff White yesterday morning while
ai breakfast received a telegram from
McNeil saying two Mexicans had .been
shut and killedjsonie time during Saturday
night.
He took the morning train on the Austin
and Northwestern for the place mention-
ed and shortly after he left Justice Mat
Johnson and Deputy Sheriff Thorp in a
buggy left for the scene of the double mur-
der. THE PARTICULARS.
Deputy Sheriff Thorp returned last
evening from McNeil bringing a Mexi-
can named Modesto who was charged
with the killing of the1 two Mexicans. The
nnrtimilnra nf thft pnitA nrA nhrmt no frA.
lows:
: Modesta is the boss of a gang of Mex-
icans at McNeil who are employed by Mr.
A. F. Martin to cut wood. Saturday was
pay day and when Mr. Martin gave Mo-
desta the money to pay the hands off he
told him to request the men not to have
any fandango and blow in their money
as they generally did but keep quiet.
It seems that this kindly advice was not
heeded and the Mexicans went on and
had their frolic. Modesta in compliance
with his orders from Mr. Martin went
over to the scene of festivity and again
requested the men to cease making the
night hideous. Two of th Mexicans named
Pedro and Fernando jumped on to Mo-
desta and attempted to do him up for
meddling in their affairs. He very prompt-
ly swiped out a knife and gave each one
of them a vicious stab. This settled the
matter. They both turned him loose al-
most instantly and turned loose their
: ' old on life likewise. Both of the Mexi-
cans died within a very short time after
they were stabbed. When Justice Mat
Johnson reached the scene he held an in-
quest over the two dead Mexicans and
returned a verdict in accordance with the
above facts. Modesta was brought to the
city last evening and placed in the county
jail for safe keeping.

forth the deepest sympathy. Charles

and a father to the fatherless and he
leaves behind many whom he liberally
aided assisted and put in position to
earn an honorable living.
For some time back he had been pre
paring to retire from business to enjoy
tho fruits of nn Industrious and honor
able life and to that end a short time
ago he sold out his bakery and would
have surreuderea it on tne ist oi jiari-u.
In thin transfer of Ms business and upon
the eve of quitting forever life's toils
Charles Luridberg's predominating trait
cropped out. He had Inserted in the
bill of sale a clause that requires the
purchasers and their assignees and 'suc-
cessors forever or as long as the business
is conducted to seud the prisoners in the
countv iail on each recurring Christmas
day an abundant supply of ?ake and

The death of Mr. Charles LundDerg
falls heavily upon his devoted wife and

A QUEER0 JUSTICE
I'm just back from attending court
at Johnson City illanco county sam
a gentleman yesterday "and they have a
Populist justice ot tne peace up mere
who wears the ermine with great dig
nity and dispenses justice right and lett
in a wnv that would make Justice Bean
of Itio Grande fame blush. They have
no county court in Blanco county and the
justice courts have a deal of business.
The other . day this particular justice
had an important case before him and
in the midst of a very able argument
a deputy sheriff or constable thought it
was about time to take a drink. He
didn't want to drink alone and he reached
over and in a whisper asked the dignified
justice if he wouldn't step out and help
diminish the quantity of whisky in the
town.
"Court is in session" he huskily whis-
pered. "What if 'tis?"
"But that blamed lawyer is making
his speech."
"No matter if he is. You just adjourn
court for five minutes and we'll go and
get a drink" said the thirsty deputy.
The justice saw it would never do to
let the opportunity slip and with an
air of great dignity and importance he
interrupted the lawyer's discourse and
said :
This court is adjourned for live miu-
utes" and he and the deputy proceeded
to the nearest saloon and irrigated.

A Des Moines woman who has beem
troubled with frequent colds concluded te
try an old remedy in a new way and ac-
cordingly took a tablespoon ful (four times
the usual dose) or (Jhambcrlain s Cough
Remedy just before going to bed. The
next morning she found that her cold had
almost entirely disappeared. During the
day she took a few doses of the remedy
(oue teas)oonful at a time) and at night
again took a tablespoon ful before going to
ted. and the following morning awoke free
from all symptonms of tho cold. Since
then she has on several occasions nsed
this remedy in like manner with the same'
good result and is much elated over her
discovery of so quick a way of curing a
cold. For Bale by J. J. Tobin's drug Btorc.
