SESSION YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
(From Tuesday's Daily)
The city council met in called ses-
sion yesterday afternoon.

ing that certain funds be set aside
for the street fund, which was over-
drawn last year, this 'being albout
$1700, which was used In the running

the year, except the two iteims men-

vided for in the yearly ibudiget.

DEPUTY U. S, MARSHALL HAS
LONG CHASE AFTER DESPERADO
McNeill Chapman, deputy U. S.
marshal, tells of an exciting. chas* In
Angelina county, where he is just
from, after a desperado who Is toadly
wanted for numerous offenses from
horse theft, nuirder, highway robbery,
and who a very tempting reward is
offered.
With Sheriff Watts of Angelina
county, two deputies and himself with
dogs, they left Lufkdn at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon horseback for the sec-
tion, 25 miles southeast of Lufkin,
in the wilds of Angelina county; and
where the two rivers come together,
the country tooling very thinly settled
after riding all night and searching
six or eight homes of relatives of the
criminal, who Is connected with one-
third of the population in that sec-
tion,"we Jumped hiim albout 11:30 Sat-
urday morning and about two hours
ahead op us; the tral! 'was exciting
and warm for 6 or 8 mile®, until wo
struck the overflow of the Neches
river, which is all over the bottom.
Wio fou'nd lie was endeavoring to find
a boat to crosr- the river.
Wo traveled about three miles up
the river in tho overflow to throw
the dogs off his trail, but as the
dogs are the best in the state, they
were on to snich tricks and they fol-
lowed the edge of the overflow and
found' wiiere he again struck the land
and hit out for the hills, as; he had1
gotten wet and as he could find no
tooats to cross and thinking he had
fooled the dogs, he struck toook for
tho nearest settlements where &#'
had friends to protect him. This .be-
ing about dark, and we having been
in the saddle without rest or any-
thing to eat for 26 hours, and huni tr
that time traveled about 75 mile , w«"-
as well as the dogs, were worn out.
and decide! to rest for the night.
We again struck his trail next mom
ing and rede all day Sunday rtatC
after night and finding he had ctow-
ed the river during tho night InUi
Polk county. Determined to ootcft
this man, Sheriff Watts, who has t&fc
reputation of keeping criminals aafr.
of his county, felt some satisfaction
in the fact that he will not agalec
seek Angelina county as .i placo oiP
refuge.
Ho is still making every effort Dr-"
capture the desperado, who is Ik
fact, a very dangerou's mtan, haviu :.
commenced his career of crime at tlu-
age of 12 years by stealing honae?:
and before he was 21 yeans of ng ^
was charged with every crima known:
and now being scarcely 24 years of
age ls> a hardened and deperate crim-
inal far exceeding the average man,
and equaling men of noted crinxioal
days of Texas; toeing an expert
