A CONSTABLE KILLED.
The Third Case in Colorado County--The Slayer Surrenders.
[News Special.]
Columbus, Tex., April 30.--J. B. Burttschell, constable at Alleyton, three miles east of this place, was shot and instantly killed about 8 o’clock this morning by Tuck Hoover. The news of the tragedy was brought to town by the defendant himself, who galloped up to the jail with two pistols in his hands and gave himself up to Sheriff Townsend and Marshal Reese.
The facts developed upon the inquest were that Burttschell was sitting in his saloon, unarmed, when the defendant rode up, dismounted and walked in with a cocked revolver in his hand As he entered the door he presented the pistol at Burttschell and said: “Jake, I understand you have threatened to kill me,” and instantly fired, the ball passing through or near the heart.
As Burttschell fell Hover[sic] fired again, and then turned and presented his pistol at W. H. Dubose, Burttschell’s clerk, who was in the house. He then backed out of the door, keeping Dubose covered with his pistol until he got outside. He then mounted his horse, and as he rode by the door, fired upon Burttschell again, who was down upon the floor in his death struggles.
Both of the parties were reared here.
Burttschell was about 34 years of age, and leaves a wife and several children. [Interment in St. Roch's]
Hoover is also a man of family, about 40 years of age, and has been considered a quiet and peaceable citizen. The only difficulty he has ever been engaged in before was about six years ago, with Milam Sparks, in which both men were shot and seriously wounded. Milam Sparks is a brother of James and Milton Sparks who were shot at the Central depot in Houston
This is the third constable of this county that has been killed this year. The other two were A. M. Townsend of Weimar, who was killed by desperado Braddock, and D. L. Sutton, who was killed in Houston.

Joseph Burttschell County Treasurer.
At his home in this city, yesterday at 10 o’clock a.m., Joseph Burttschell passed away, after a long affliction of cancer. He was born in this county at Mentz, February 5th, 1859, died in Columbus at 10 o’clock August 25th, 1910, age 51 years, 6 months and 20 days. He was married to Miss Katie Coleman on November 7th, 1883 who still survives him, also seven children, Emanuel, Jesse, Walter, Simon, Allice, Willie Lee, and Joe Little August. Five brothers and two sisters survive him, viz. Anton of Mentz, Henry, Alleyton, W. A. Eagle Lake, Adam and Chas., Columbus. Sisters, Mrs. Otilia Reitz, Bernardo and Mrs. Mary Miekow, Alleyton.
Mr. Burttschell was elected County Treasurer in 1896 and has held that office continually ever since, and was the democratic nominee for re-election, which would have been his 8th term, and the last six terms, without opposition. He was so careful and prompt in keeping the records of his office, and safely keeping the county’s money, ready to be paid out at the proper time, that he never failed at any time to have his reports ready for the Commissioners Court, and they were always found to be correct. He was reliable and trustworthy in every way, and always true to his friends, of which he had many. He was a member of the O.D.H.S. and W. O. W. orders, which have charge of the funeral services. He was a devoted husband, a kind father, an accommodating neighbor and an upright citizen, who will be greatly missed. For several years he had suffered with cancer, which finally caused his death. The funeral and burial will take place today at Mentz, where he was born and spent his early life. A large crowd will be in attendance at the funeral burial. Acting pall bearers, Judge J. J. Mansfield, Thos. F. Bouldin, E. B. Mayes, Adolph MIller, Louis Weete, Sr., Henry J. Laas. Honorary pall bearers Dr. J. E. Clark, Schulenburg; T. J. Roberts, Eagle Lake; Geo. H. Little, Columbus; R. H. Beyer, Santa Anna; Louis Wink Alleyton; M. B. Allen, Shimek. The Citizen joins the friends of the family in sympathy.

We are grieved to announce the death of little Jessie Lee Burttschell, who was called to her eternal home last Sunday morning, after an illness of about four weeks. The event cast a gloom and sadness over our entire community, and the sincere sympathy of friends and neighbors is extended to the bereaved mother, so much more, as two of her sons are down with the same malady. May the Father of all enable her to be resigned to His will, and may she find strength in the knowledge that this is only a temporary parting.

IN MEMORIUM
Little Jessie Lee Burttschell, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Burttschell, died at home in Alleyton, Sunday, March 27, 1898, of typhoid fever. Monday morning at 10 o’clock her remains were laid to rest in the Catholic cemetery [St. Roch] amid a large number of sorrowing relatives and friends, Father Spleneweber of Mentz officiating.
Little Jessie was born May 12, 1888, and had only attained 9 years and ten months, but in her brief life had by her generous nature endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. She was the star of her mother’s hopes, the idol of her brothers and a favorite with her playmates. We sadly lament the extinguishing of a life so young and full of promise, but it pleased God to pluck this lovely flower and what He giveth He can take away. We feel that in losing earth she has gained a haven of rest and freedom from pain and sickness, and while we shall miss the dear little face we’ll fondly cherish the memory of her pure young life. We hope to meet her in the land where death and sorrow never comes and where there are no more partings.
“No more to sorrow or to sigh,
No more to suffer or to die.”
