Burglary and Larceny.
Sherman Courier.
During the latter part of Thurs-
day night, some thief broke into the
grocery store of Mr. W. M. Fife,
situated on north Travis street, and
known as the Kentucky store. An
entrance was effected by removing
one of the lights in the frent win-
dow. The burglar took from the
pocket of Mr. George Lawson, who
was sleeping in the store at the
time, about $4 in money, a check
on the Merchants and Planters'
Bank for one hundred and ninety five
dollars, and notes on different per-
sons amounting in the aggregate to
over two hundred dollars, all being
the property of Mr. Lawson. Noth-
ing else of any value was taken..
Mr. Lawson awoke and got a sight
of the intruder just as he was makiftg
his exit through the window, but
too late to effect his capture or to
identify him. The scamp took the
key from the front door and carried
it off with him. No news as yet of
the guilty party.
The house on 27th inst. passed the
Indian appropriation bill, appropri-
ated $4,772,000 for that bureau.
The bill contains a provision for the
encouragement of Indians in agri-
cultural and other civilized pursuits
calculated to make them self-sus-
taining. No appropriation to be
made will be productive of more
good to the United States than this
to encourage the Indian to become
self-sustaining as are the civilized
tribes of this Territory. May it be
honestly expended is the prayer of
the Indian.—Bufaula Journal.
Lawless Act.
New Orleans, April 30.—A dif-
ficulty over a game of cards occur-
red this morning in a saloon on Com-
mon street, between William A. Gib-
son and J. R. Lawless, in which
Gibson was stabbed by Lawless,
from the effects of which he died in
half an hour. Lawless is imprison-
ed, charged with the murder. They
were both pilots on the steamboat
Fanchon.
The Fraudulent Coupons.
Graves, the Suicide-Murderer.
A letter from the Governor of Mis-
sissippi in relation to F. Z. Graves,
the Mississippi murderer, was re-
ceived Saturday by A. B. Person.
We learn therefrom that Graves mur-
dered one B. M. Vaiden, in Wilkin-
son county, Miss., on the 26th of De-
cember last. One hundred dollars
were offered for his arrest by the
county authorities and a further re-
ward of two hundred and fifty dol-
lars by the governor, payable on
conviction.
The description of Graves as given
by the governor, corresponds in ev-
ery respect with the party who killed
himself near this city last week in
preference to being arrested.
Graves was buried Friday in the
cemetery, it being considered unnec-
essary to keep his remains longer, as
no notice had been received of any-
body being sem from Mississippi
to identify him.

A Communication from Grant & |
Grant of Davenport, Iowa, the hold- |
ers of a certain number of coupons j
clipped from the bonds at the time of ^
sale, addressed to the Mayor of this j
city, was read at the council meeting 1
Thursday night. These gentlemen 1
state in their letter that the bonds
were put in circulation by our own
officers, and whatever blame there is
for the alleged wrongful circulation
of these coupons it can not
prevent the payment, as the Su-
preme Court has decided that such
coupons are valid and binding obli-
gations in the hands of a bona fide
purchaser, for value without notice.
They also state that they are not at
liberty to disclose the name of the
owner, but vouch for his being an
honest and reliable man, who will
doubtless himself confer with the
Mayor on the subject.
Councilman Tpne, who has given
this matter his careful attention, sta-
ted at a previous meeting that when
these bonds were placed upon the
market a sale was not effected at
once, but that several months elapsed
before the First National bank,
vyhich w&s authorized to negotiate
for their sale, was enabled to dispose
of them. When the bonds were
finally sold and turned over to their
purchasers, a number of coupons
then due, were as a mattei of course
clipped from the bonds. These
clipped coupons were turned over
by the bank to the then Mayor of the
city, W. H. Winn. It appears now
that instead of being destroyed, as
they should have been, some one
who had access to the desk where
the books were kept put them in
circulation.
It certainly looks strange that if
the party who holds them is a bona
Jide purchaser, that he should only
now present these coupons when
they have been due since July, 1S74,
and should offer them at a discount
of about thirty per cent. This seems
to indicate that the party who holds
them has no great faith in being
able to enforce payment through the
courts.
Through the negligence (to use a
mild expression) of former city offi-
cials, fraudulent vouchers and other
papers have been placed in circula-
tion, and the city has thereby suf-
fered considerable pecuniary loss,
and it is time that payments of such
fraudulent claims should stop. It
appears to us that there can not be
the remotest danger of the city being
forced redeem these coupons, nor
do we believe that the holders in-
tend to sue the city, for if this matter
is brought into court the name of the
party who placed them in circula-
tion certainly will be divulged.
From the fact that they have not
been presented at an earlier date, we
are led to believe that they can not
have passed through many hands. It
does not seem plausible that any-
body would trade for negotiable pa-
per, past due about four years, with-
out making proper inquiries as to
their genuineness, and as to the time
when payment could be expected.
A committee consisting of Caun-
cilmen Tone, Peck and Williams,
and the city attorney, was appointed
by the Mayor, for the purpose of
thoroughly investigating this matter.
While we do not for a moment
doubt that this committee will do
everything in their power to ferret
out the mystery, we must confess
that we doubt their success. Unless
Grant & Grant disclose the name of
the party, we opine the citizens of
Denison will never know the name of
that honest, reliable city official who
issued them.
Snm'c few more of these coupons
are in somebody's hands, and have
not yet been heard from.
