Galveston Daily News, 27 April 1886:

Waco, April 26. ^Ö Mrs. F. P. Cravens surrendered her young life this
afternoon, a victim of erysipelas. The deceased was the wife of Frank P.
Cravens, one of the proprietors of the Waco Examiner.
 Oscar Neckey was arrested today, charged with passing counterfeit coin.
The premises of his father, four miles form the city, were searched for
dies, but nothing justifying the suspicion that the prisoner was engaged
in the making of nickels, was discovered. Neckey was sent up from Dallas
for two years for theft of money, and on completing his term in the
penitentiary, located in this county.
 In the Federal court, J. G. Marsh and Dow Mullins, charged with the
misuse of the postoffice, were tried and acquitted. Sanford Lewis,
charged with tampering with the United States mail, pleaded guilty in
one of four cases and the other three were dismissed. There are two
cases of embezzlement pending against him.
