Columbus, 0., Feb. 10.—(Associated

“I do not class these apathetic citi-

most patriotic lawyers in the country,
sxvear out a warrant and arrest those
two men the moment they set foot on
American soil,- bring them before the
'supreme Court of the United States un-
der a charge of high treason and un-
Americanism and send them to jail or
exile them. When you have done this,

at once.
Go out and arrest one or more of the
most prominent Catholics in every state;
bring them before the Supreme Court
also and imprison or exile every one of
them for their un-Americanism. if
Catholics cannot be true American citi-
zens. Don't lose any time with hood-
lums; get the big fish, men whom we all
know. Of course, you will arrest a few
archbishops and bishops and priests.
They are all leaders. Among the lay
men you could arrest are Admiral Ben-

Somebody is trying to start some

It is nothing new to read and hear many ■
unpleasaait things about Catholics and I
their church; but is strange that the ]
propagators do not see that they never I
get anywhere with their calumines and I
falsehoods. On the contrary, these
things often increase the attendance at •
Catholic services by the return of in- |
different and fallen Catholics and by i
the conversion of honest non-Catholics, j
It is very often just as well to let many I
of these charges pass without any |
notice, since they can do no harm. But |
some people may be inclined to think I
that Catholics are afraid to speak for .
themselves. Just as a reminder that!
we are neither afraid nor ashamed I am I
taking notice of a talk that was given
in one of the city churches recently, be- |
cause no self-respecting Catholic can
let a matter of that kind pass by un- |
noticed.
I am not going to enter into any argu-'
ment or controversy' on the matter. I .

35 years old, who has been stopping at

from the effects of being asphyxiated
this morning, the unfortunate
rence having come near
death.
According to Mr. Segraves, who oper-
ates the Elite. Mr. Mabry went to the
bath room”this morning to take a bath.
After he had been there for some time,
a woman in the house heard sounds
emanating from the bath room that she
concluded were made by a human body
falling to the floor. Mr. Segraves xvas
summoned and when he forced an en-
trance to the room, he found Mabrx-
lying on the floor, with his shirt part
ly over his head, and his arms draxvn
as if he were dead First aid was ad
ministered and Mabry’s consciousness
restored.
Someone had placed a heating stove in
this room, according to a statement by
Mr. Segraxesx. and the gas had been
turnd on but was not burning. The
fumes overcame Mabry, and when he
was found his body* had topple 1 <rver
near thc stoxe.
Relatix’es of the man, who live east of
town, were summoned, and are at his
bedside, but he is believed out of dan-
ger after a miraculous escape from
death.

We finished dinner and were soon at
our work again, not more than ope-half
through, but djd. get through late in the
•fternoon and on the road back to
Gainesville. Mr. Doss, although tired,
*•« I was sure, was again telling more
eld stones. As we left the little creek
east and next to Blacker creek, we came
to a large pes'ari tree, with a bmb fully
ten feet from the ground, extending
more than that length from the body
of the tree, lie said, “Stop and wait
b minute.” I’ointiag to the limb he
said, “bee that lunbf” 1 said I did,
but saw nothing unusual about the
limb. “Well,” he *Kid, “that limb bore
an immense crop last year—two horse
thieves, and there ate the graves,” point-
ing to a small mound not very far
away. “.And if you do not believe it,
there is the limb where they were hung,
and there are the graxes to prove it.”
As I could not dispute this assertion,
I had to take it as a fact, which it was,
and some day I will tell you all about
the facta in the case, and the boys who
wers hung

had killed some of th? family, captured
Mrs. Shegod and earned her with them
to, or near Gainesville and turned her
loose, naked, or nearly so, ami she xvas
found in his corn lerib the next morn-
ing, nearly frozen to death.’’ I only
make mention of this because I have
seen it in print several times, but tell
it because Mr. Dois told it to me on
our ride, home, and I do not care to re-
write any story, as there are plenty of
new onea to tell. ,
He pointed out So me the Wise farm
settlement, now the Era settlement,
and said that John Weeks had fenced a
large tract of land with smooth "ire
but the fence had proved a failure, as
smooth wire would not turn stock. Mr.
Dose showed ine the Wheelock ranch
house, where Robert Wheelock had a
cow ranch a few years before; also the
Jones horse ranch corral, southeast of
the Wheelock ranth. Both of
ranches were on Spring creek.
Wheelock ranch blouse was near
ford on Spring creek.
Where we eroded Spring creek the
water was running nearly knee-deep,
and Air. Dose said lit never stopped run-
ning the very driest times, and was fed
by springs, b< th ftboxe and below the
ford. But these springs stopped running
a long time ago aid most, if not all the
springs are dry t4day.
Mr. Doss showed me the oldest settle-
ment on Spring cjreek; have forgotten
the name, but it vias not very far soutn
of the Crutchfield farm on Spring
creek.
The old pen, usad by himself and the
Peerys, to hold the South Texas steer-
that they had brought there three yea: s
before from aomq county in South
Texas, was west the main road. The
Underwood horse ranch on our right
" M soon named.
Mr. Dos® had a story about all of the
objects and as soc(n as one was told an
other place would attract his attention.
I drove up to Lis house and left with
only a goodby, because the sun was
down, and started on the road to town
ae fast as two tired horses could well
go, and the horses were xvilliug to go.
Most all my readers will remember the
long hill just west of Big Elm creek, I
am sure; a long time ago it was very
•teep, much more so than now. A fexv
▼ears after this time the ■'uty oounc 1
gave me permisaipn to lower the grade
of that hill, and we certainly did. We
worked several hours many nays and
it in better shape, and I noticed
laat summer that more work had been
done on the hill, and it would be a
good thing if a little more work was
done now. It ca» never be made good,
but I am sure it could be made better
When I started down that hill I was
ju®t as fast as the horses could
trot, and would have gone faster if the
horaea could have trotted faster, aa I
waa in * hurry a(nd so were the horses.

laws of
rules and regulations they provided for
an annual meeting on or about the first
of April of each year, and the second
meeting was to be held at the Reed
schoo' house. This house, I expect, is
still there, at the crossing on big Elm,
about ten miles west of Gainesville.
The executive committee called the
meeting for the first Saturday of April,
1S76, and it was a big meeting, too,
Several new men had in the meantime
come to Cooke county and were there.
Among ‘hose I now recall was Frank
Shu wood, a young man, not very large,
But full of energy, ready for any kind
of fun or frolic. Frank, with his
brother-in-law, Newcome Stevens, were
planing to have a large herd of cattle,
but did not have a ranch started.
Jack Parish, I se.xv him there for the
fir-t time. He was living in Gainesville
and xv,as talking about something big
in the "ay of ranching. Jack oxertook
me as I was on the road to the meeting.
He was riding a good horse and fully
cressed in wlmr ducking ms:ead of the
regular kind then in use.
He introduced himself and told me all
ah mt where he was from and what he
wanted to do, but Jack never got into
the sattle business. I will have more
to say about Jack sometime later.
The meeting was held under the
spreading branehea of a large hackberrv
tree on the banks of the creek, and
everyone had to stand up or sit on the
ground. It was a very good place to
have the meeting, as it xvas not wet
"ith dew, and the season was rather
dry and xve had plenty of room, so no
one was crowded.
As the chairman and secretary xvere
both absent, a temporary chairman was
elected, and Frank Shenvood was chosen
secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the
meeting and explained the cause leading
up to the organization, and that the
by-laws and minutes of the last meeting
"ire in possession of the secretary elect-
e 1 at Valley View who was unavoidably
absent, but stated as near as he could
remember. Then he invited all the stock

see if I was hurt and how badly, but
I could not find any breaks, so began to
move.
“Are you hurt?” I could hear the
sound, but to save me I couldn’t un-
derstand, but the “Are you hurt?” came
again. I raised up, as in a dream, and
again came the voice, “Are you hurt?’’
I began to realize some one was talking.
Locking up I saw a man on horse back,
not more than a few steps from me,
looking at me and again asking the
F| question, “Are you hurt?” Well, I
a couldn't hardly answer him, because I
didn't know, but the thought came to
me, why didn’t the man get down off
that horse and see if I was hurt? But
he made no move, and as I finally got
up and found that I was not very badly
hurt, he rode off ■ and never knew
whether I was hurt or not, but left me
to my fate.
I knew the man and he knew me, but
the good Smaritan, as he was. never
1 offered to help me up, or offer to help
me get my buggy together, but left me.
not caring whether I lived or died. I
have never forgiven that man, nor do I
ever intend to forgive him, but will
hold it against him.
I soon got my buggy wheels back
under the bed as there was only one
bolt out and it was soon found. While
it was hard work, it was done, and 1
drove on to the city, but I was bruised
rll over and suffered very much
I returned to the livery barn, turned
the buggy and team over to a boy, got
my own horse and started on my six
mile ride home. I made that trip about
aa fast as the pony could go, and was
not not in making that trip.
But, Oh! Wasn’t that an ending of
a perfect day?
