So tender and so mild:
*Tis not the love of woman,
But just a little child !

Sheriff Townsend arrested Bill
Mitchell on a charge of carrying
a pistol in Port Bend county and |
turned hiin over to the sheriff of j
that county, to whom he made a |
statement, statinur that Uriah
I Foster and Ben Johnson killed
Henry Nash and placed his body
on the railroad track just before
a freight train passed. The ne-
gro Henry Nosh was a witness
against the two negroes, Uriah
Foster and Ben Johnson, in a
gambling case which was on call
in the county court. Poster and
Johnson are prisoners in the Bas-
trop jail, while Mitchell is held by
the sheriff at Richmond and will
be brought to Bastrop when the
grand jury meets. Sheriff Town-
send returned from Richmond the
first of the week and has a state-
ment from Mitchell, in which he
implicates the two negroes, Uriah
Foster and Ben Johnson, in the
murder of Henry Nash, as above
stated. The working up of this
case is but in line with the most
