From Houston Daily Post (Mailable Edition), Sunday, May 27, 1894, Page 1:

A BAD CITIZEN.

Nacogdoches, Texas, May 26. - Sheriff A. J. Spradley arrived here this morning, having in charge Dick McCulloch, alias Dick Bates. There are not less than a dozen cases of horse stealing against him in this State. Several for robbery. He is held in this county for assault to murder and robbery, he having committed each of the offnss [sic] about eighteen months ago on Deputy Sheriff J. M. Spradley while attempting to arrest him near this place for horse theft.

Bates seems to be in a critical condition, he having on him seven gunshot wounds, which were inflicted by the posse who arrested in Henderson county about ten days ago. To a casual observer it seems that his wounds would be fatal, but the physicians pronounce safe. He is also one of the ring leaders in the burning of Houston's gin in Shelby county; never known to have killed any one but when he got in a close place always shot his way out.
