II. S. Sisk telegraphed F. C. Var-
ner, Wednesday from Stockton, Cali-
fornia, that he had in charge, John
May, alias J. R. Carson, and would
leave at once for Weatherford with
his prisoner. May come here about
two years ago, under the name of
Carson, and went to work for J. R.
Lewis & Co. as a tinner. He seemed
to be a perfect gentleman and had
not been here but a short while un-
till he was married to Miss Gorley
sister to Mr. J. R. Lovelady's wife a
r< 'pected family of this city. A
few weeks after the marriage he pre-
tended that he had to go away on
business but would return soon.
After he had been gone several days
it was learned that he had a wife and
children in California* So Sheriff
Sisk commenced work at once to find
where Carson had gone, and this is
the result of his work.
With the Rock Island, almost a
certainty, and the finest crops that
have ever been raised in the country
whats>the matter with Weatherford
making a wonderful leap this fall
in building up. There are more and
better building sites in Weatherford
than any other city in Texas.

in his native state, Alabama.
