A dispatch from Harold, Texas, reports how another fdStivo cowboy came to die with his boots on:

Gaines Sullard, a cowboy, who it seems has been m the habit of getting drunk and riding into the saloons and stores, camo into town, and, as usual, attempted to repeat his old tricks, but was fooled. Private Y. 19. Murray, of the rangers, attempted to arrest him by grabbing the bridle-reins. He requested Sullard to halt. At this Sullard leveled his Winchester rifle at the ranger, but Murray proved too quick, and shot him through tho heart with a six-shooter, killing him instantly. Near the village of Manchester, Clay County, Ky., Theodore Benge, Dick Stivers, and Dan and George Gray, all young farmers, went together to tho house of Kate Harvey, a woman of ill-repute. They were drinking, and grow quarrelsome, the woman being the cause of tho trouble. In tho end pistols were drawn and a duel fought in the house between tho Gray hoys, who wore brothers, on one sido, and Benge and Stivers on the other. The woman ran out of tho house at once and obtained assistance from the village. When she came back with several mon half an hour afterward George Gray, and Beuge, and Stivers were found lying upon tho floor dead, each having sovoral bullets in him. * Dan Gray was still living, but is mortally wounded. At Mindon, in Webster Parish, La., Henry Jackson was hanged for the murder of R. A. Britton. An expert’s report estimates the damage dono to the orange crop of Florida by the cold at $1,100,000. Small-pox is said to be prevalent among tho Mexican population of San Antonio, Texas.
