Escaped -- Two Misses Lemly, who
were captured in Palo Pinto; Mr. Fore
and a negro man who were chased in
Coryell; two men by hiding in a cedar
brake in Burnett; Messrs Lowder and
Martin, who were surrounded in Palo
Pinto, and a family of women and child-
ren who were attacked in a house in the
same county and relieved by neighbors;
two young Tacket's in Young.
These are such of the occurrences in
January and February as we now re-
member. There are others we have for-
gotten, and doubtless many of which
we have not heard. The number of
horses stolen and cattle wantonly killed
will never be known.
The Register says that Mr. Diltz,
living in the edge of Coryell county,
was robbed a few days since of be-
tween one and two hundred dollars
while on his way home from Adam
Bibles. He overtook two men in
Federal uniform who asked him if he
could change a twenty dollar gold
piece. He replied that he could, and
upon offering to do so his purse was
snatched. When he expostulated, a
pistol was pointed at him, and he was
ordered to hold his "rebel tongue."
A Gatesville correspondent of the Reg-
ister says the man Hendricks who was ar-
rested in Waco week before last, for forg-
ing a note on Solomon Barron, of Hamil-
ton county, and selling it to Fields &
Love, at Gatesville, was pursued and
brought back on Thursday, and on Friday
he was tried, convicted and sentenced to
the peneitentiary for two years. He is a
man fifty odd years of age
The Waco Register of the 13th
had just received a private letter from
Gatesville, as follows:
There was a man by the name of
Dial hung near Gatesville on the
night of the 8th inst; he was sup-
posed to be one of the Hamilton
and Bishop party. Another man by
the name of Lee, of the same sus-
picious party was supppoed to be
drowned on the 4th inst. his horse,
saddle and equipage was found near
the river and he has not been heard
from since.
We have received from the Waco
Register an extra, dated October 18th
giving the particulars of a bloody
affray, in which two men were killed
by the military:
Two brothers named Grimes getting
under the influence of liquor this morn-
ing and becoming boisterous, the police
attempted to arrest them; they re-
sisted, firing upon the police with their
six-shooters, wounding Mr. Conyer, a
Federal soldier, in the hand.
They then mounted their horses and
started out of town, taking the Austin
road. A squad of Federal soldiers, un-
der Lieut. Sands, immediately started
in pursuit.
They were overtaken about two miles
from town, on the Gatesville road.
The two Grimes immediately com-
menced firing on the soldiers, five in
number, who returned the fire with
their carbines, killing both of them in-
stantly.
We are informed by responsible par-
ties, who reside in this city, and know
the two young men that were killed,
that they are of highly respectable
parents and have heretofore borne a
good character themselves, their father
resides on the Leon river in the edge of
Coryell county.
