dan stevens's escape.
An official report has arrived in the city
Ito the effect that Dan Stevens, colored, a
[Houston murderer, had scaled the walls of
I the Hnntsville penitentiary and made his
■escape, notwithstanding the fact that some
lof the best bloodhounds of the prison had
■been put upon hiB track. Tie escape took
Iplace on the 11th of the month. Stevens
Iwas convicted and sentenced for life in the
iDecember term, 1S83, of the Harris
■county Criminal Court, « on a
Icharge of murdering old man
■Milam, an aged and eccentric darky, who
■lived in a little cabin in the Fourth ward
south. A negro named Jerry Scott was
also sent up for life on the same charge.
iDuiing the trial of this case it sreated
Ijnuch excitement among all classes. of
Icitizens, owing to its cold-blooded aud dia-
bolical aspect. The following is a brief
history of the case:
One morning, shortly after daybreak, a
jailkman, while driving pa<=t the clump of
Ifcois d'arc trees that line the ditch near
.the Fair grounds, saw the form of a man
lying on the ground. He left his
vagon and went to the trees to take
l look at the person who was braving the
_nclement weather at such a season of the
year. On reaching the spot he found an
old dead negro, with his throat cut from ear
fco ear and a looped rope around the neck.
UVbout the body were signs of a struggle, as
if the old man had fought hard to save his
life. Satisfying himself that a murder had
been committed the milkman drove hur-
riedly into town and reported to the au-
thorities what he had seen. A posse went
but and viewed the body, discovering that
lie murdered person was old man Milam.
Suspicion fell upon Jerry Scott. He was
found sleeping. On being aroused he sprang
up in bed, exclaiming:
" X didn't do it."
" Didn't do what'r" was asked him.
" I am innocent!" he again exclaimed in
l dazed way.
He was arrested, placed in jail and ques-
tioned, which resulted in the arrest of Dan
devens and William Harris, colored,
larris turned state's evidence and Stevens
uade a confession.
Old man Milam was a queer character,
Jind by his airs of superiority over other
liegroes, caused thom to believe that he had
Jbout $1000 hid in or near his cabin. He en-
couraged this belief and acted mysterious-
ly whenever he thought it would suit his
purpose. Finally he gained the ill-will of
■he reckless blacks, who occasionally stoned
liis cabin. One night Scott, Stevens and
Harris went to the old fellow's
labia and told him that if he
jvould go with them they would
Ihow him the negro who threw stones at his
labin. Milam went with them. They took
Aim to the clump of hois d'arc trees, fas-
lened a rope around his neck and told him
■hat unless he gave up his treasure they
Tv-ould hang him. Having no money hid,
Jhe old man could give up nothing. Failing
I get anything important from Milam's
lips, they'cut his throat with il razor and
left him dead on the banks of the ditch.

A FEARFUL FALL.
How a Texas Cattleman Hot His Death at a
Kansas City Hotel.
Kansas City Journal, August 11.
About 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning
the inmates of the St. James hotel were
startled by the announcement that John
Powers, a cattleman from Mobeetie, Tex.,
who was stopping there, had fallen from
his room in tfee fourth story of the building
to the pavement below. The announce-
ment, coming at a time when the guests
were eating breakfast, created considerable
consternation. Several men immediately
rushed out and picked up the insensible
man, who died a few minutes after he was
taken back to his room.
Much comment has been elicited by this
accident, and it was the chief topic of con-
versation at the hotel lobby through the
day, as the deceased was a wealthy cattle-
owner and very widely known. The facts
attendant upon his death are as follows:
Powers, who is the owner of a large ranch
in Milam, Tex., arrived in the city Sunday
with ten carloads of cattle. Before reach-
ing here, however, he got off at Dodge City,
and indulged in a rather extensive spree,
drinking various intoxicants quite freely.
By Monday morning, however, he had got-
ten nearly over it, but Monday after-
noon indulged ill drink again quite
strongly. His friends say that
this was his only vice, and that
when under the influence of liquor he be-
came perfectly wild, in fact was verging on
the tremens. Yesterday morning he got up
about 0 o'clock and came down stairs very
nervous and excited. He imagined that de-
tectives were after him, and that they were
pursuing lnm unceasingly. The clerk see-
ing his condition, judged it beat to have
him taken up to his room, and gave orders
to lock him in. He was placed in the room
and the door closed and locked on him. For
fully half an hour it seems that he begged
most pitapusly of the chambermaid, who
was working in the hallway, to let him out,
assuring her that he was perfectly sane
and would do no harm. He said he
must have air and walk about. Having
received strict orders not to open the door,
she of course did not do so. All at once,
after various attempts to get out through
the transom, Powers became quiet, and
then opened the shutters of his window and
of the roof of
moment later he
distance of some
sixty feet, and lay a'mangled mass on the
stone walk of the yard below. When
picked up he still breathed, but life quickly
became extinct. Almost every rib oa one
side was broken. A leg and arm were
broken in several places and his head
crushed more or less. " It is the worst case
of fracture I ever handled," said the un-
dertaker. He was taken to Carlat's, whore
the body will be embalmed and sent back
to Texas.
John Powers was a man of considerable
property, his friends at the hotel who knew
him intimately, estimating his wealth at
from ^300,0(10 to ({400,000. He leaves a widow
and three children. He was about 40 years
old. " There never was a more industrious,
energetic man that John Powers," said a
friend of his last evening. " There is noth-
ing he would not have done for his friends.
I have known him ever since he came into
the Panhandle six years ago. All his for-
tune has been made since. I pity his
widow, she's such a sweet and brave little
woman. Drink was his curse. It was an
inherited fault over which he seemed to
have no control. When sober a better man
never lived, but when the reaction from a
drunken spree set in he became perfectly
delirious and out of his senses."
It is more than likely that the death was
more the result of an accident than a sui-
cide. The man was nervous and probably
out of his head. He must have walked ex-
citedly on the roof projection, lost his foot-
hold where the eaves project and fallen over.
His friends knew how Powers acted when
in such a state, and had they known his
condition would never have allowed him to
be shut up alone in tne fourth story of a
large hotel. The clerk says he did not
know the man's temperament, otherwise he
would have notified his friends. It is a sad
event and one that has caused a very pro-
found impression on the minds of all.
