salt to make them drink copiously of
water and weigh heavily. I discovered
the fraud. The old boy is called the
‘New York Yankee.” Texas is a cosmo-
politan state. The Indians predominate.
The buckskins think no more of killing
them than a dog. The Irish are principal-
ly in the cities. Germans take to farming,
cattle and sheep raising.”
Mr, Gibson, the Utica gentleman who is
known (?) as the “New York Yankee,”
ROUGH ON TEXAS.
How we are Misrepresented Horth
It is astonishing how determinedly
and how persistently we are misrepresen-
ted by pHrlies who visit Texas and return
north. We do not believe such misrepre-
tations are made, with a desire to injure
Texas, still they do injure her, tor there
are people north even at this late day,
who couple with Texas, Comanche’s. Kio-
wa's and armed desperadoes, just, as they
read of them in the yellow back literature
of the day. We really believe those start-
ling stories are merely told to place the
narrator in the light of a hero and a brave
adventurer before'.his wondering listeners
'fake tor instance an article in a late uum
ber of the New York Telegram, which un-
ci, r a flaming displayed caption gives the
particulars of an interview between one
of its reporters and a young New Yorker
just returned from Texas. He tells the
reporter, “We hang a man in Texas
qu cker tor sterling a horse than killing
a man. Not long ago I was at Weather
f >i d, in north central Texas. In the lit
tie court house was a white man on trial
who had assassinated a ranchman and sto-
len his **American” horse. The term
“American” is used to distinguish it from
the broncho or native horses. The wit-
ness ot the cold-blooded murder was
airuid to come into court. A posse was
sent out to compel his attendance. Half
way to the ranch his body was found rid
ch. d with nine bullets.
NIKE BULLRTS IN HIS BODY.
The “buckskins” had way laid him and
plan ed nine shots in his body, which
was brought to the court house. A grim
smile passed oyer the laces ot a dozen ot
so of the buckskins who sat in the eou-t
h .use with tnelr Winchester rifles on their
k iees. Had their man been convicted
they would have cleaned out the jury
The prisoner sat with his legs crossed

then stated, “the case is dismissed tor
want ot evidence.” The prisoner tucked
his pistol down, which had been protrud
ing 1 j*oiu his pocket, and sai l: “Boys,
da n’t kinder line this; this is the seventh
time I’ve sat arid been tried tor my lde.
’ It’s no good, I tell yer.” Drinks followed
and a grand hurrah, but nobody was
kii edfor a wonder..”
This genteuian ii m -y be well to state is
a retired actor as will be seen irom the
tollowing conversation bet ween himself
and the reporter. Indeed we should say
he. lot I been an actor, and if we had to
guess at his r« 1 . we should say he

I take great pleasure in making the fol-

with a disease of the kidneys for the past
two years, and have tried numerous reme-

Cure was recommended to me, and after
taking it the pain and distress left me, and
I am to-day feeling strong and well. I. am
perfectly satisfied that Warner’s Hate. Kid-

They are wise in so doing, for this is a

they will decide to have a gin and mill

the neighborhood, and, we think would
add greatly to their income.
