press. Perhaps the most faithful record of the
settlement of the country may bo found in the
quaint nomenclature of Texan bays, headlands,
villages. &c. Like out* Saxon anoestOm in England, our brethren in Texas allow the mo.-t
whimsical names of p'ac s, affixed by accident or
caprice, to retain a lasting occupancy. Tlie stranger who lingers a month in the Quiet and f-nitful
region lying between the Rio Brazos and Neuc.es
River, is often sorely puzzled by the oddlv sounding names which g'eet Iiis eye and ear at every
step. Suicide's Creek contains nothing more excruciating than an old saw-mill ; Razorville is inhabited by as. dull a body of pleblaps as exist—out

some event, Wrble or ludicrous, in the early set-
tleiuen' of the state, when each bush concealed an
armed foe. and every valley suspended in its poisonous malaria the floating s-'eds of death
Many years ago, thF#xact period of whlcn is not
necessary for an understanding o.f our story, the
how thriving tnwu of C . was the scne of unusual bustle. Tbe plnng man threw his glistening
shave to the headland, the mechanic dropped his
hammer, and all hastened with serious faces to the
centre of the settlement. Directly before the log
inn, wliich bore sign uf the "Trapped Wolf," about
fifty men had assembled, and w«re discussing, with
knitted brows and violent gesticulations, some object of move than ordinary interest. In the middle
of the conclave stood the orator for the nonce, a
man in the rnirdian of life, atul of enormous proportions, lie was dressed in the hybrid costume
of the hitnt-er farmer, and was evidently one of
those m-n so rare in oiir coma, >vcial cities, vet so
esserttial ou the extreme wane of civilization,
where it breaks upon the soundless, sightless i'f,li-
tinles o1'the'Far West. He was standing before
the settlers, a representative of the uncrowned
majesty of strength and will.
'■ N lighbors," he observed, '* I am a plain man,
and can't talk lawyers stuff, and sicli like, but
evp.r soice I .vas big enough to tell the difference
'Uvixt the trail ofa de-T and an Xnjm.'I have made

head he was taking into his botitse. I say. did any
of vou kio.v th j old 'Squire to do a taean act'oa ?
Did any of you ever see him looking at you when
you was taking a drink in his cabin?"
'■No. no!" responded iiis aul'tois.
"Youn'',- Fanny." continued the speaftet, lowering his voice, wliile a shade of deep commiseration
crossed his rough f atures, ■' we've all know'd. ami
we all know that no one could say a word agin
her before this scoundrel came into the pai ts hereaway, and—" At this moment the curtain from
an upper win low of the "Tranna 1 Wolf," was
carefully w'thdi-awn. and a sinister face peered
stealthily beneath, for an instant.. Quickly as it
was done, however, it was not unobserved by the
men in the road. The sp-'tikev continued.as neither the glance from the inn nor the indignant
scowls ofthe audience escaped his quick eye— 'Tf
so be, neighbors, yon are all of my mind, wby
we'll make short work of that job."
" Lynch him, lynch hiin." cried a score of voices
in reply, and the significant threat would have had
a real fulfilment but tor the entrance of another
person upon the scene.
Witii that deference which age, accompanied by
education and private worth, always commands on
the frontiers, the crowd opened instinctively to
admit the parent of the subject of the present n-
quiry. He Was a venerable man, fast on to tin*

With a cave which formed a strong contrast to the
slouched habiliments of the settlers. Raising his

We are your friends," called out voices ill the
crowd.
" I see strange faces here." replied the old man
musingly, as he surveyed the group thoughtfully .

" Braintree, he continued, directing his address
to the first speaker, "in what way have I injured
you that you thus in my name incite men to violence, which may result in the death ofan iniioient

ofa penitent child, ■' you never done me uo wrong.

The doable motives, ail'eetion and avarice, soon
stirred tin; tittle community into a fever of excitement. A town gathering, as It is called in those
wild15 was summoned, and parties directed off Id
search of the mlfiStag girl, to all parts of the compass. All day long the prairies was seourerrU>y
■en und dogs; all nightlong the woods gleamed
with the lights of" blaitag pine torches. Tl.e
wretched father mounted his borse, and traversed
the hills and meadows miles and ; ales away. The
indefatigable Braintree directed the pursuers, and
followed each trail with the wisdom ai.d vigor of
an Indian, but all in vain. The second day of the
search, the dispirited settlers returned to tlieir
cabins. No trace, or trail, oi cine to the youn;*:
lady could be foand.
"Search the river," cried Brainlroe. The hint
was acted upon. A few bold sweeps with a iishei'-
man's net, and news fled like wild-fire, that the
unfortunate girl was lying cold, stark, and horrible
to look upon, on the beach. With an unanimity
of'S"!itimei,t and purpose which the dweller In the
sea-board cities cau but poorly understand, the
body was carried to a little cluster of trees, about
a half mile from th" place of discovery, a judge
selected, and jury sumniom d. in a few minutes.—
During the time of search, the doctor, (with whom
we will have more acquaintance anon,) had been
suffering the process of'crating,'a rather primitive process, which may be thus described :—The
huge withed lattice work b xes. in which the Philadelphia or New York merchant stows his crockery, etc., for its western destination, was theu. alter
being relieved of its contents, used as a prison,
and often the malefactor was conveyed 'for miles
crammed into one of these airy receptacles, which
was placed upon the running gears ot a wagon.
and strongly guarded, rattled away ovei the ' cor-
duroy turnpike.,
Upon the heel of the first search, suspicion, undefined but strong, pointed to the young physician
as at least a participant in the 'd..e p damnation of
her taking otlv' He was instantly bundled inio a
crate, aud as quickly tvnu.iled out of the village
into an old barrack, where six men relieved each
other in ggardUg him, so tbat escape, was impossible.
The clump of woodland into which the inanimate form of lhe girl w s conv. yed. covered perhaps an acre. About the middle of the group a
space of some yards in width had been cleared,
.;;nl presented ;:. beautiful and solemn council
ctiamber, surrounded, as it was, by lofty trees,
amidst wliich the stoul Texaus walked like pigmies.
The interlacing branches shielded the multitude
trcrttl the sun's rays, or allowed them to descend in
liil'iil. fantastic shapes, as the summer wind moved
like an unseen spirit in the branches. High away
up in the air a large (ish hawk, witii wings which
glistened like polisln-d blades ia the pure element.
Seemed to float rather than fly in immense sweeps
over the circle.
The •A-.vy. seated upon a fallen tree, had the
dead body placed beside them ou the short, wild
grass, and the examination of witnes es began.
The first was a domestic. Who testified that on
the evening of her young mistress's disappearance,
she was w.itched until upon turning the cornet* of
a . nui bud ling, a tall man, closely mullled up in a
Cloak, joined her. and they proceeded west uutil
(as they supposed.) beyond surveillance, when
ihey turned directly north, toward the river, and
she saw them no more;
The next on the stand was a fisherman, named
David Blair, who stated that being out late in the
night of the murder, he had seen two persons, a
man and woman, going directly toward tiie river,
a little distance above ' Pot rocks.' Suspecting
something wrong, he had dogged them, but, missing ihem in the bushes which lined the path, he
had made a circuit to intercept them, and came
(suddenly upon the persons.
lie heard them in earnest conversation, but
could uot deti tH the man's voice. He appeared to
be cavnei-ily urghi. his female companion to do
something which she disapproved, aud he heard
her distinctly reply,— " Oh, Sylvester, do not urge
me to ihis ! I have done that I am sorry for. Oh,
God! If I were as I was months ago." The witness further stated that she was sobbing violently.
and, as he thought he recognized the voice, nod
was listening ior further development, a pebble
slipped under his shoe and rolled down the bank.
arousing the suspected pe; sons, who. wheeling
suddenly round, the witness was clearly able to
identify the man as the doctor, md the lady, lie
verily believed., was the ileceased.
At this stage of the proceedings, Braintree
glided up to the Judge, and whispering into his
ear; slipped something ii.to his hand, rolled up
like a little ball "I depute you, and yon, and
you," said the presiding officer eagerly, as he
pointed out the persons of well known residents
to bring- the body of Sylvester Maurice Stan-
burgh before me, forthwith," A little delay followed this imperative command, but m em incredible short time, three men were seen wending their
way from the Trapped Wolf, with the physician
closely pinioned between them. Ushering him
in o the ring, his Conductors fell buck with the
spectators, tearing the prisoner face to face with
bis relentless avengers, and the ghastly witness of
a double crime. A night's 'crating.'' and the
mental tortures Which ihe wretch had undergone
had reduced him like a siekn ss. He allowed his
eyes to sink furtively around the scene, until th"y
rested on the corpse, and he looked that way no
more ! He staggered like a man shot. He looked
at the tree-tops, then burrowed his aching gaze in
the earth at bis feet, but in vain ; the image was
everywhere. In a fit of uncontrollable phrenzy be
yelled like a madman and fell to the earth.
"Remove him," paid the Judge quietly, "and
see that he is secure."
The next witness was the hunter,Braintree, who
stated that in Marching the beach, just below Pot
Rocks, he had found ia an eddy the articles which
he had previously given to the Judge, (aa w*fl bavtfj
their heads inslunter, but the more bunnum prevailed, and the Judge order d. a dozen meuto their
oabtafl tor their rtfles, prepnt^tory to the execution
ofa sentence which we will describe hereafter. The
mass of men formed a holloa Bquare, etad plaotag

ofthe river a mile, where being inter,; ipted by the
riflemen, a halt wus called. The ground was as
Leva) 08a floor, an i ran down to tba wttter's edge,
free from obstruction ofany kind. Twelfe rifle-
mea, wnh ai nas at fall cock, were drawn up at six

Stripped to his pants, pbeed  midway bBtWOOn   liis

might have served for a model to Phidias. He
drew a loug, long breath, as the exercise swelled |
his mnscli's. mid with expand-ed nostrils, m . .:
like a noble ri-.e.-r i'or Ihe signal to start.

The culprit heard the information withoul moving i-t muscle,,ju-"t glancing, almost proudly,   over

were leveled at him, ani Awaited the word.

Th'* ofett morning, wlrie pr tpftRrtlona v.*ere making for battle, Johnson met tbe preticher.
" Well. Socket," said he, with a 'mile. " we are
likely to have serious work to-day. and as you say
that a man can't, die till his time comes, lhat he is
just a" safe in one plAOS a-in another, I should

nothing, but grapple tliem by the throat, aud make
sure work of it."
'■Very well, Colonel,-' says Racket, "I'm always willing to test my faith by works."
Accordingly, Socket took his position at the
head of his column, which was about five hundred
strong, and received the fire of seven hundred of
the enemy. He stood it like a man. only wi .iking
a little aa the balls came whizzing pa \ ji in
showers. But he obeyed his orders to the n-i.., r ;
and having received tlie seven hundred bullets of
the enemy, he advanced forward, poured in a deadly fire, and immediately grappled band in hand
with the foe, which soon decided the fate of tho
day.
After the action was aver, the ( olenel remonstrated with him, good humored y, for killing so
many of the enemy.
Why. Socket," said ho, " this was altogether
useless j half the number would have answered
every purpose. How came you to cause such a
waste of human life?"
Don't you know how it was, Colon,d ?" replied
Ihe preacher; '■ we only fired once, but I rather
think it was because their tanto had come."
