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.
