A Perilous Fall.
Colwcll Smith dropped a hoard
down in his well at his homo a few
miles from Shiner Sunday and
started to seijd his little ton-year-old
boy Morris down in tho bucket
to recover it. Just as tho littio
fellow got a few feel below the sur-
faco the fopo slipped and ho fell
twenty feet to the bottom of the
well. Fortunately there was only
two or thrco feet of water 'in tho
well else he would have drowned
As it was he received an ugly scalp
wound and was severely cut and
bruised. His father descended tho
well as rapidly as ho could expect-
ing to find Morris dead. Taking
him in his arms ho held him up
nut of tho water until help arrived
to raise them to tho surface Tho
little fellow was unconscious for
solno time. The board at tho hot
torn of (he well broko the force of
his fall. Otherwise ho would prob
ably liuvo ueen killed outright.
Hdrso Stolen.
On Wednesday night of last week
Tom Shandera's dark bay mare was
stolen out t Ins lut in town pre-
sumably by a negro This pre-
sumption is strengthened by tho
fact tluiton Wednesday night about
midnight -a negro rode up to Cues-
cher Bros.' nU-.miU in Moulton and
inquired of the hands at work thero
if that place was .Moulton. He
was riding a dark bay horso with-
out either brid'e saddle or blanket
with merely a rope tied around the
horo's neck. Ho sat on tho horso
talking to tho mill hands some
time liud presently a freight train
came in going towards Flatonia.
Ilistnoilnting from tho hArse the
fcllov turned it loose andvran and
lioai'ded tlid train and went on
through with it. The horso gallop'

Wm. Mulkcr and Wm. Hagens-
dorf w ero held up and robbed of
$1411 about two miles west of Shi
ner Wednesday ovo. about seven
o'clock. 5Ir. Mulker hail been in
Shiner and sold four bales of cotton
to A. G. Wangemann Wednesday.
and received in payment a ono
hundred dollar bill and several
bills of a smaller denomination.
He in company with John Hagens-
dorf left for home about dusk and
had reached the gate leading into
Luedcke's farm about two miles
west of Shiner w hen three men on
horseback p.issul them and ihen
wheeled tlieir horses and rode b.icu
to meet them. They were either
negroes or whito men blacked up
to disguiso themselves. Opinion
differs about this. Mr. Ilagens-
dorf howover is positive that they
were negroes. Ho said: ''Tho men
rode back to meet us and dismount-
ed and wanted to know if we had
any whiskey. I told him 'no' and
tnen tho big tall iodow drew his re-
volver and demandad our inonoy.
Only two of them had gnns; the
littio yellow nigger that searched
us didn't appear in have any gun
as he kept telling the tail slim fel
low to shoot me. -Mulker com-
menced calling 'help help' and
they caught and choked and bound
a handkerchief over his mouth
When they searched him they up
peared to know what to look for
as they left tho ' ptirso that had
nothing but papers in it and took
the one that had about ?M5 in it.
Then they searched mo and took
oil I had just seventy-five cents.
They kept telling us to keep still or
tney would shoot us and after they
got through searching us thev
jumped on their horses and rode off
as luiru as their horses could carry
them Ono of theui rodo a big bay
horse ami the others rode an iron
grey and a light bay.- Tho tall
negro had on alight slouch hat and
had flour on his face which made
mo think all the stronger that thoy
were negroes"
It was about seven o'clock when
Anton Konecny and tho Gazette
man were standing at the bar of tho
Palaoo Saloon talking and Mr.
Mulker hurried in nifd exclaimed
excitedly' that ho had been robbed.
Several who were standing by ac-
companied him to Constable Otto
Koelilor's house. In an hour's time
tho hard ear'uings of. the suniiner
had been lost and It was enough to
mako a man feel despondent.
At this writing there has been no
positive clue obtained of tho. crim-
inals. It would bo well tor every
one to look out for any suspicious
person trying to chango a hundred
dollar bill.
Tlio Old Ituodui.' Gin.
About a quarter of ii mile south
of town on the west side uf the rail
road track lies an old rusty boiler
Eiirrounded by posts and a few
charred timbers. These are the
ruins of the Hhodes' gin that burn-
