Special to the Galveston News.
Bkackkttvjli.e, June 3.—A hor-
rible murder occurred at Colson
ranchc, twenty five miles from
Bracket, on June 1. Mrs. Cohou

yards distant and were met by In-

arrows, and the other's brains were
beaten out with a club. M s. Col-
son was then outraged and killed.
A sickening sight met the husband's
and son's eyes upon their return
home, and the anguish that wrung
their loving hearts need never be
chronicled. Mr. Colson had a wile
and child killed by Indians a year
and a half ago. He again married
two weeks since, lie follows the
red men and swears vengeance for
his ^saddening fate and heartrend-
ing end of this joyous but short hon-

colored, was assassinated 011 Guiley's
farm, Falls county, Sunday night, j
On Monday, George and Tom Fair, j
two colored co-laborers with Allison, j
were arrested, carried befote Justice
Featherstone and released for the
time, notwithstanding the neighbors ,
were satisfied they were the assas-
sins. Tuesday, Tom was found
murdered, about thirty steps from
Allison's house, having been luing ;
and atierwards shot. George was'
found dead about three hundred j
yards from the house, with his hands j

present when the two Fairs were j
killed, and that Tom confessed be-
fore dying, that he and George killed
Allison. The negroes of the neigh
borhood are excited, and more
trouble may follow.
Forco of tho Kansas Storm.
Western papers arc still filled
with the ravages of the great cyclone
which swept over Kansas, Nebraska
and Missouri last week. I( perhaps j
culminated in as great a force as
ever known on land or sea. One 1
account fiom the town of Irving,
Kansas, says "the solid stone walls)
of John Fox's house were moved in
a mass thiity feet." And again:
"As the train approached Irving !
the signs ot the tempest becime {
more apparent, in .the shade trees
twisted off like weeds by the force
of the wind, and as the train stopped
at the depot the passengers looked
out on a scene of desolation', intensi-
fied by the dreary winds and falling
rains.

at 35 writes us. "I have used Parker's
Hair Balsam s?x months and am more
than pleased with it. It has restored the
natural I rown color of my hair and given
it a silky softness, nicer than ever before.
There is no Dandruff, no falling hair, and
it leaves the scalp so clean and nice and
cool that I am ever so much pleased, and
I feel <.nd look like myself again." The
beautiful, fresh and vigorous hair it pro-
duces, to«ft~er with its property of re-
storing gra'. or faded hair to the natural

When Commodore Vanderbilt was run-
ning steamboats, he beat all rivals by
crowding on steam to the utmost, and
even running down his enemy if neces-
sary to accomplish a triumph. • When he
went into railroading, he adopted a much
shrewder and more successful way, by
uniting vast lines and their tributaries
under his own management, thus captur-
ing all rivals, by sharing with them the
immense pool of profits th.it were made
by this skillful manipulation. Messrs.
Lawrence St Co., Bankers, N. Y., accom-
plish a much greater sifcces* in stock
operations by their new Combination
Method of dealing. By this system the
orders of thousands of customers are
pooled into one vast sum and co-operated

i benefits of large capital and best skill.
