Mrs. Jennie Litsinger, wife of Mr.
Charles Litsinger, of this city, aged
28 yeais.
The funeral took place Sunday
afternoon at 5 o'clock, at the resi-
dence of the family, on Morton street,
and was largely attended by the
friends of the family and the mem-
bers of the order of Good Templars,
of which order deceased was a wor-
thy member. The funeral sermon
at the residence, was preached by
Rev. Mr. Kone, of the Baptist
Church, after which the coffin was
placed in the hearse by the pall bear-
ers—members of the order of Good
Templars—and the funeral proces-
sion wended its way to the cemete-
ry, where after a short address by
Rev. Mr. Kone, the body was con-
signed to mother earth.
The bereaved husband and the

Only four parties were arraigned
before the Mayor Monday morning,
an unusually small number tor that
day. One of these charged with dis-
turbing the peace by fighting, was
promptly discharged, it being con-
clusively proven that he had only
pushed a drunken fellow out of his
house. Another was charged with
drunk and disorderly, and ordered
to work on the streets for ten days,
he not having any money wherewith
to pay his fine. The others were
fined the usual amount,$2 and costs,
for being drunk and down.

Louis Lebrccht received Monday,
a large invoice of different kinds of
tobacco, among them a new brand of
fine-cut, named "The Belle of Den-
ison," put up in pails. These pails
are [provided with a new invention,
which prevents the tobacco from be-
coming dry. A pipe runs through
the pail and connects with a tin tank
which fits under the bottom"'of the
pail and is kept filled with water.
The evaporation of the water serves
to keep the tobacco moist. The
pails are also provided with gutta-
percha hinges, so that the pail is kept
nearly her metrically sealed.

H. B. Welsh, of the firm of Welsh
Bro.'s, dealers in coffins, caskets,
etc., was suddenly taken very sick
on Main street Saturday evening and
fell to the ground. When picked up
and taken to his shop he was speech-
less and apparently blind. Medical
aid was at once summoned, and
though the gentleman is still con-
fined to his bed he is considered out
of danger. Mr. Welsh has but re-
cently taken up his abode among us,
having previously resided in Mis-
sissippi, but has already gained
many friends, who will be pleased
to learn that the sudden att ick of
illness was not more serious.
What a Tottering Fabric.
Is a system depleted of vitality and ir-
regular in its functions. Ills only judi-
cious and prompt medication which can
save it from a speedy and total collapse.
The tonic and regulating properties of
Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters, particularly
adapt that benign medicine to revive
physical vigor and reform those bodily
irregularities which are a barrier to its
permnnent restoration. Biliousness and
constipaLion are permanently overcome
br It, and the digestive activity and
thorough ass'milation which it promotes
have the effect of increasing the vivify iiig
and nourshing qualities of the blood.
The bitters are also an excellent deter-
gent of the vital current, since they com-
municate a healthy stimulus to the blad-
der and kidneys, which are the most im-
portant channels for the esccpe of its im-
purities . Pure, agreeable and of botanic
origin, thorough and prompt, but never
violent in its action, the reasons for the
transcendent popularity of thin medicine
arc both cogent and appreciable.

sical event of the season.

We learn from Judge Porter, that
I Monday morning the Sherriff of Red
j River county, with a posse of three
I men, overtook a party (who, it is
said, committed a murder in
| Mississippi) on the prairie, about
three miles from Judge Porter's resi-
dence. A lively fight ensued, in
which a great many shots were ex-
changed, but the murderer managed
to make his escape towards Rock
Bluff, being forced, however, to
abandon his horse, and also losing
his hat. The horse captured was
wounded in two places, in the thigh
and neck. The murderer was evi-
dently wounded in the right arm, ns
he was shooting with the left hand
towards the end of the fight.
All avenues leading to Rock Bluff
are closely guarded, and the posse
reinforced by several citizens, are
making a thorough search. The
bluffs abound in good hiding places,
but his ultimate capture seems cer-
tain.
A reward of $1750 is offered for
the arrest of the party. The gov-
ernor of Mississippi having offered
a reward of $250, and the citizens of
the town where the murder was com-
mitted, $1,500.
The Judge did not ascertain the
name of the murderer.
lateh.
Since writing the above we learn
from Mr. J. J. Chad wick, Deputy
Sheriff of Red Riyer county, who
was in the city Monday afternoon,
that the name of the murderer is
Frank Graves. The reason the par-
ty in pursuit of him did not succeed
in capturing him was, that the horses
of the posse were very much fagged,
while the murderer's horse was in
good condition, which enabled him
to reach the brush in advance of the
pursuing party, where he at once
dismounted and abandoned the horse.
Mr. Chadwick is confident that the
man was badly wounded in the
right arm, or shoulder.
Constable Spence and a few others
Spenoa's Cap.
Friday a stranger appeared in the
I city with a valuable tna/e, which he
I offered for sale at such a low price
I that Constable Spence concluded to
' investigate the matter. In a coiiver-
1 sation witli the fellow Spence soon
noticed that he had a pistol buckled
around his body, which being a vio-
lation of the law Spence arrested
him and took him to jail.
Telegrams describing the supposed
horse thief, and the animal found in
his possession, were sent to the
Sherifls of adjoining counties, and
soon an answer was received from
Sheriff Lipscomb, of Fannin county,
requesting Spence to hold the man
till he got here. Lipscomb arrived
Sunday and started to B >nham with
the prisoner Monday.
When arrested by Spence the man
gave his name as Thomas Williams,
and said that he lived ten miles south
of Bonham. It turns out, however,
that his name is Thomas Ratcliff,
and that the name and residence
given is that of the gentleman from
whom he stole the mare.

Denison Lone Star Mills.
The Texas Sun pays the Lone Star
Mills, of this city, the following well
deserved compliment:
As an enterprise of more than uni-
versal importance to that city, we
call attention to the Lone Star Mills
of Denison. Mr. W. B. Boss, agent,
is an energetic and wide awake bus-
iness man, and one who is thorough-
ly and practically familiar with all
the details of his large business.
With these mills, located at Denison,
011 the outside edge of the wheat dis-
trict of the State, yet with an energy
peculiarly his own, ar.d grades of
flour first-class, in every particular,
has enabled him to build a reputation
enviable. Our energetic commis-
sion merchant, Mr. R. B. Baer,
makes a specialty of the Lone Star
Mills flour, and keepe in stock a full
line of all the goods, viz.:
Lone Star, Baer's Eagle Steam,
Fancy Family, XXXX and XXX,
which he sells at prices beyond the
competition of every one. His flour
is all fully guaranteed as to grade
and is well worth a trial, for it will
prove satisfactory in every respect.
Ninoty-nine Years.
The trial of Mathis, charged with
the murder of Parson McKamie at
Whitesboro, some months ago, was
concluded Monday morning, the jury
bringing in a verdict of guilty, and
assessing the punishment at ninety-
nine years in the penitentiary. The
case will be appealed. Mathis has
had eminent ccunsel to defend him,
but the evidence against him, though
mostly circumstancial, the negro
woman alone being able to give di-
rect testimony, was overwhelming.
Mathis received the sentence with the
most stoic indifferer.ee.

Judging from a late issue of the
Indian Journal, published at Eufau-
la, there is a pretty strong band of
temperance workers in the Indian
Territory who are determined to put
a stop to the liquor traffic there.
The paper before us contains a me-
morial addressed to S. W. Marston,
M. D., Indian Agent, asking him to
use his influence to have all licenses
given by the government to parties
to sell liquor in the Territory re-
voked. This memorial is from the
mission superintendents and teachers
of mission schools, and numbers
about fifty signatures. Drs. Bond and
Moore have surrendered their licenses
giving as a reason that they cannot
keep spirituous liquors for medicinal
purposes without virtually converting
their stores into drinking saloons.
The memorial is followed by several
resolutions, one requesting the Sec-
retary of War to revoke all liquor
licenses, or "permits," in the Indian
Territory, and another eulogising
Gen. Sheridan for the steps he has
taken in this direction.
The article in the Journal closes
with a note from Dr. Marston, in
forming the public that persons who
engage in liquor traffic with Indians,
no matter in what locality, are lia-
ble to a penal ty of three hundred
dollars, and two years imprison-
ment.
