James Massy, James Pry or and J.
Sims, who left this city Monday |
evening, in pursuit of the Mississip-
pi murderer, Frank Graves, return- j
ed Tuesday evening with his dead
body. .
The party ascertained at 7 a* ni.
Tuesday morning, that Graves had
passed the night at the house ot Air.
Taggart, near Red river, and that l e
had left that place early Tuesday j
morning. Mr. Taggart had given
him a hat in the place of the one he
liiul lost jn the fight Monday. At
about 10 o'clock a, m., the pursuing
party overtook Graves at a place
noith of Mr. Massey's farm, and
about twenty-five miles from Deni-
son. He was near a ho se, sitting
'under a tree when the party at rived.
He got up, and backing towards a
fence, fited several shots at the
party, who called upon him
to surrender, and he then jump-
ed over a fence into a field,
with the evident intention of making
for the brush, which joins the field
on the further end, the party in full
pursuit. A running fight ensued, in
which a great many shots were
fired, the murderer himself firing
seven, reloading his pistol as he ran.
The posse closing in on him, he
stopped, taking the pistol in both
hands, placing the muzzle of the pis-
tol to his forehead, pulled the trig-
ger, and fell dead, the ball tearing
off a large portion of his skull.
The body was brought to this city,
and now lies in the carpenter shop of
Mr. Mills. An inquest will be held
this morning.
The man is about 5 feet 6 inches
high, and probably weighs about 120
pounds. He is about 40 years of
age.
During the melee, the man living
at the house near where the fight oc-
cured, was hit by a stray bullet
which produced an slight wound in
the scalp.
The gentlemen composing the
party deserve great praise for their
perseverance and the bravery dis-
played throughout this affair.
His coat which was lound Monday
evening, showed conclusively that
the report that he was wounded 011
Monday, was entirely false.

Frenchey of shirking duty, and at
last called Frenchey a liar. The lie
was given in return, whereupon
Bradley struck him a blow with an
ax handle. Frenchey, who had a
knife in his hand, which he had
been using in cutiing meat for
breakfast, defended himself with the
instrument and cut three terrible
gashes in the body of Bradley, one
in the bowels, one 111 the pit of the
stomach and one in the back just
above the right hip. Bradley ex-
pired in a few moments. Frenchey
fled at once, and has not been seen
since. The partners state that brad-
ley was a very quarrelsome and over-
bearing man, while Frenchey was a
very quiet, hard-working and peace-
able fellow. Bradley was a large
and powerful man. while Frenchey
was rathtr small, and of light stature.
The cutting was clearly done in self-
defense.
Frenchey is known to many per-
sons in this city, as he was employed
in a restaurant here not long ago.*

tent near the base ball grounds on
Tuesday afternoon, was largely at-
tended. Seven good-sized dogs
were placed in the arena with the

well versed in handling intruders, as
he disposed ol them easily, by knock-

taining any injury himself.

What a Tottering Fabric.
Is a system depleted of vitality and ir-
regular in its functions. It is ot.ily judi-
cious and prompt medication which can
save it from a speedy and total collapse.
The tonic and regulating properties of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, particularly
adapt that benign medicine to revive
physical vigor and reform those bodily
irregularities which are a barrier to its
permanent restoration. Biliousness and
constipation are permanently overcome
br it, and the digestive activity and
thorough a6s'milation which it promotes
have the effect of increasing the vivifying
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 escape of its im-
purities . Pure, agreeable and of botanic
origin, thorough and prompt, but never
violent in its action, the reasons for the
transcenJent popularity of this medicine
arc both cogeut and appreciable.
