The trial of Mrs. Myers, Mrs.

Mr. Nelms, the officer i.i charge
of the pound, volunteered to remit
his fees, so that the parties would
have had to pay only a trifle to re-
cover their pets, but instead ot doing
that they tried to liberate them by
force, and we believe they will find
it a costly experiment.

For Rent.
A grand excursion under the aus
pices of the Good Templars of this
city, will leave Denison for White-
wright Thursday.
The citizens of Whitevvright ex-
tend a cordial invitation to all visi-
tors, and the Den'soti Cornet Band
will accompany the train and furn-
ish music for those who wish to par-
ticipate in the joyous dance.
The depot at Whitewright will be
illuminated and prepared for tlu
“light fantastic” bucineers, and a
good time is anticipated. The best
of order will be maintained.
The train leaves this city at 7 p.
m., and will return during the night.
The fare is only one dollar for the
round trip. Turn out everybody
and take a moonlight ride to White-
wright and aid a praiseworthy so-
ciety.
Don’t fail to call and see the new goods
just received at the Central Book Store.

During our collection tour Mon-

withstanding the cotton season is

the work demanded of it. One
Editor DtmiiaM Mews:
Since ‘Whitesboro has become
prominent us the terminus of the
Denison & Pacific railroad, it may
be of general interest to the public,
E? ?'»d efpeciallir. to (the. stocktijnp, to be
2 dnlormed of the water facilities of thf
“* place and surrounding country.
It is certainly not generally known
that Bachelor QrancH, which heads
just north of the Gainesville road, is
of sufficient capacity to furnish wafer
for all the catde that will be shipped
fiom Texas this or any other season.
This stream is supplied by number-
less springs of pure water, none of
wl^i have been known to fail at
geason or at any timg fof the
jvyenty seven years. But, for
xxmjinodation of cattlemen, the
citizens of the town, by a proper
and timely organization of capital
and energy, have erected a perma-
nent danfi across this stream, which
insui es a lasting body of pure spring
water one hundred and ten feet broad
and three or four hundred yards
long. The channel is permanent
and solid—no mud or bogs—while
fie banks are firm and mossy, shad-
ed with willows and evergieens.
The water at the dam is ten feet in
depth, wherj the weary cowboy
may indulge in a cool bath
morning and evening or brth.—
Stockmdn and others interested will
observe that about two and one-half
miles west of Whitesboro, on the
Gainesyille road, proper index
boards have been placed to indicate
the route to the tank, and a broad
and convenient road opened for cat-
tle, wagons, etc., ansi indeed, it is the
most direct route to the depot.
These superior water facilities, (111
a great measure artificial) have been
supplied at no inconsiderable ex-
pense; while on the other hand, may
be mentioned, Jordan Creek, one
mile south, and Mineral Creek, one
and one-half miles north of the de-
pot, furnish an abundance of water,
all the year round.
The capacious stockyards, built
by the Denison and Pacific company,
indicates a sufficient capacity to ship
the stock of the season for the whole
northwest, and stockmen can but
appreciate the efforts on the part of
the citizens of the town, to offer every
facility and accommodation to aid
them in their business. Some of
them have already examined the
preparations made for their interests
and comfort, and express them-
selves highly pleased at t!ie arrange-
ments so well adapted to promote
the interest of all parties.
Work is now progressing to open
a new and direct road from this
place through Wise and Jack coun-
ties to Jacksboro, furnishing a direct
1 oute for the accommodation of stock-
men and the public generally. This
road will pass through a section of
country admirably adapted to driv-
ing, passing by Valley View
Cooke county, about eight miles
south of Gainesville. This is a
prairie and open woods route, and
furnishes superior grazing, with the
advantage ot Wolt Creek and In-
dian and Timber creeks, which will
supply water at all seasons of the
year.
With all these advantages it mav
be said that Whitesboro will soon be
known as the most convenient cattle
shipping point ever before establish-
ed in North Texas. A. B.

stolen from them. ,’,ii . . o |
Sunday, a man from near Gaines-
ville was in the city in search ot four
mules stolen from him, and another
from near Whitesboro-ln search ol
two muies.
Mr. J. C. Denny, of this city, was
fortunate enough »o recover bis hdrse
which was stolen - Frkhjy night,
Sunday evening.- Tire horse bore
evidence of having been.ridden hard,
and it is supposed thef thief rode
the horse to near Carpenter’s Bluff,
where it was found, and there ex-
changed it for another animal, which
suited his fancy better.
Three horses were found tied in the
brush about one and one-half miles
west from Denison Sunday, but be-
fore Constable Nelms could go out
and secure them they were gone, the
thieves evidently having taken them
away. The horses, it has since been
ascertained, were stolen from a par-
ty in the Creek Nation.
In view of all these facts we would
advise our people to keep their sta-
ble d ors well locked, and above all
means, keep a shotgun handy.

Mr. T. J. Williams, at Shel-
burne’s, failed to make his appear-
ance Sunday morning for the pro-
posed walk to Sherman, in one hour
and fifty seconds. The gentleman
was sick and consequently could not
comply with the agreement.
The large tent in Forest Park was
completely filled Sunday night, and
a large number of persons were as-
sembled outside of the tent unable to
obtain seats.
The sermon by Mrs. White,
on “Sanctification,” was a very able
one, and evidently made a deep im-
pression upon the large audience.
Want of space prevents us from giv-
ing even a synopsis of the discourse,
a fact which we very much regret.
At the conclusion, Elder White
addressed the audience, informing
them that he and hi> wife would
leave the city Wednesday morning
for Colorado; that they had come to
Texas to spend the winter for the
benefit of their health which had
been much improved in this genial
in climate, and that they expected to
return to this State next October or
November. lie expressed his
thanks to the people of Denison as
well as to the press of the city for
the manner in which they had been
received, and stated that they left
with the kindest regards for all.
lie concluded with the statement
that as they had a competency, their
preaching had been without money
and without price, but asked for as-
sistance for Mr. Balder, a blind man
in this city.
Preaching in Forest Park will be
continued by Rev. Kilgore, who will
be assisted by Rev. Coiliss, ot Vir-
ginia.

A Woman Found1 Buried Allve»
Late last evening while the work-
men engaged in ett&iv&jCing for j the
cellar of J. D. Ourand-’s/nevr build-
ing on Main street were getting out
the loose earth at the northeast cor-
ner of the lot, they came upon a hat'd
substance which was ft firijt ^oppos-
ed to be a rock, blit oil-clearing
away the debris that surrounded it,
the men brought to light one of the
most startling objects that the eye of
man ever beheld/1 There lay the
petrified body of a young woman,
dressed in mourning, with a long
white veil that reached from> her
head down to her feet. Thd re
mains were in a state of perfect pres-
ervation. The hair upon the head
was long and glossy and the back
hair was fastened up with a tortoise
shell comb, which was pat dally des-
troyed in lifting the head out of the
earth. The feet were encased in a
pair of green slippers with an em-
bossed rose leaf on the front.
i.l
The stone corpse, which weighed
about 180 pounds, was immediately
removed to the rear of Mr. Ourand’s
saloon, where it was inspected by a
large crowd ot people.
The body is apparently that of a
young white woman. The nose is
fiattish, the mouth is open and the
teeth are sound and very white. The
body was found at a depth of nearly
ten feet from the surface of the
earth.
An investigation will be made to-
day with the view of determining
how this mysterio s funeral occur-
red, and how long the body, conceal-
ed from human knowledge, has been
sleeping in the recess where it was
discovered. The place that is now
a busy throbbing hive of humanity
was in all probability a dreary bar-
ren waste on the desolate prairies at
the time the poor resurrected inhabi-
tant was first consigned to the
broad bosom of Mother Earth.
