The warrant followed, and Melzer was soon wanted badly by the constable. The most diligent search failed to find him, and this morning it was learned that he had left the city. Melzer was a barber, and has lived in Denison for fifteen years.
- Houston, Tex., April 21, On February 9 last A. J. Milantree was lying in wait for a man against whom he had a grudge, and who had to pas through a lonely road.

Will Seaforth happened along at the time, and mistaking him for his would-be victim, Milantree knocked his brains out with a coupling pin but was frightened away. Seaforth died next day, and during lucid intervals called the name of Milantree, which furnished the clew which led to his arrest. To-day he was awarded twenty-five years in the penitentiary on a verdict of murder in the second degree.
