assaulted  her  victim  with  a stone  tied  up  in  a 
towel,  and  after  knocking  Ruby  senseless  beat 
her  in  a shameful  manner.  Her  scalp  is  cut  to

badly  beaten  up.  Bessie  is  out  on  bail.

C.  R.  Jackson  was  tried  for  killing  Peter 
Frazier  near  Carlisle  last  summer.  It  seems  that 
the  men  knew  each  other  in  Texas  fourteen 
years  ago.  When  Frazier  arrived  at  Carlisle 
last  summer  Jackson  was  located  in  the  moun- 
tains and  had  a flock  of  goats.  They  recognized 
each  other  and  Frazier  drew  a pistol  and  either 
made  Jackson  confess  that  he  was  indebted  to 
Frazier  for  four  horses,  or  that  he  had  passed 
counterfeit  money  on  the  man  with  a pistol. 
Accounts  conflict  as  to  the  nature  of  the  con- 
fession. Jackson  was  then  bulldosed  into  giving 
to  Frazier  a bill  of  sale  for  the  goats.  After- 
ward Jackson  refused  to  surrender  and  friends 
told  him  of  deadly  threats  by  Frazier.  Once 
when  the  latter  went  to  get  the  animals  Jack- 
son’s son-in-law,  Wm.  Neal,  claimed  to  hold 
them  for  the  satisfaction  of  a claim.  Frazier 
went  away,  and  afterward,  fearing  litigation, 
it  is  said,  Neale  wrote  Frazier  that  the  writer 
would  have  no  more  to  do  with  the  affair.
