One man may have come to this
great and fertile section of God’s
footstool because he sought health,
a higher climate, or a cure for a
certain ailment; another may have
located here because of his desire
for adventure, and his belief that
out here in the “wild and wooly"
West he would find it; still another
may have followed relatives who
pioneered in this part of the state.
A big crop may have garnered
other citizens, while the love of
fine horses, the possibilities of
raising sheep, or the turkey ranch-
ing idea may have induced others
to come and become one of us.

The newspapers, too, do their
part in bringing the Easteners
west, and the Westerners east, and
no less the Northerners south.
Even The Brady Standard plays a
part in all this. As an illustration
of just how the newspapers form
a connecting link that may weld a
perfect chain in a long series of
strange events, we would relate an
incident that befell The Standard
office in recent weeks.
• • •
The start of it all was the receipt
of a copy of the Jacksonville Miner,
published in Jacksonville, Oregon.
The Miner excited our curiosity, to
begin with, from the mere fact that
it was printed on pink paper. Then,
secondly, because its editor was
evidently an exponent of the idea
of putting personality-plus into his
writings. Frankly confessing, we
might say some of his paragraphs
showed a liberal touch of tabasco
The McCulloch county area came
in a shade of getting a “Million
Dollar” rain Thursday morning,
when a drizzling downfall, amount-
ing to about one-half inch in this
county, preceded the winter’s
first cold spell. According to infor-
mation received here, the light rain
2 was general over this section, with
heavier rains to the north and west.
The shower started falling here
before daylight Thursday morning,
and continued at intervals up into
the morning. The season’s first
norther struck about 10 o’clock,
with the temperature falling con-
tinuously until at 3 o’clock this
morning it reached a new low,
registering 43 at the Empire
Southern Gas Company’s office.
From the company’s figures, it
was stated that there were only
five days in the month of October
when gas was consumed for heat-
ing purposes. It appears that the
month of November, which came in
like the proverbial lion, will make
up in wintry weather what last
month lacked.
The rains throughout this sec-
tion will be of much benefit to pas-
tures, provided of course, that the
frost holds off for several days,
giving the winter weeds and grass
a chance to start growing.
sauce.
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Behrens of
Voca were in Saturday to renew
their subscription to The Standard,
and which they have read ever
Along with the sample copy, since the paper was first issued
came a letter from the editor, ‘ —
Leonard Hall, requesting that we
send him the second installment of
the series of stories being printed
in The Standard of “Buffalo Days”
as recounted by J. Wright Mooar,
buffalo hunter of the early and
wild West Texas, and originally
published in Holland’s Magazine of
Dallas.
nearly 25 years ago. Mr. Behrens
says this is one year that he can-
not boast of his crop, since his
pears and other fruit crops were
almost a failure, and his pecans
are far from their usual size—not
to mention the low price they are
bringing. The long dry spell has
served to cut the size of all pecans
throughout this section.
N
ion
% Editor Hall wrote that the first
of the series contained reference
to one Lem Wil. in as a member of
the group of bi .falo hunters, and
that this self-same Wilson was now
a resident of Oregon and the Jack-
sonville section. The editor further
advised that he was a former Tex-
an—Houstonian—and that sending
him The Brady Standard on ex-
change would be next best to a visit
back to the Lone Star State.
% * *
AT FIRST THOUGHT, we were
puzzled to know how Editor
Hall happened to read the particu-
lar issue of The Standard in which
reference was made to his friend,
Lem Wilson. More than that, we
were considerably mystified to
know how he chanced to read The
Standard at all. It is a jump of
just a few thousand miles from
Brady to Jacksonville. Not so far
in these days of rapid travel—but
a considerable “piece” at that!
* **
Then suddenly, a great light
dawned on us. We recalled that for
the past number of years—ever
since the early part of 1929, in
fact—we had been sending The
Brady Standard to the Rev. S. H.
Jones, former pastor of the Brady
Presbyterian Church, and who re-
turned to Oregon when he resign-
ed his local pastorate some four
or five years ago.
• • •
And, so the mystery wasn’t so
inexplicable, after all. The Rev.
Mr. Jones, as is obvious, is a
close and consistent reader of The
Brady Standard—even to reading
the stories of the wild and woolly
west—that was! And when he saw
mentioned therein the name of a
Jacksonvillian, he naturally called'
the article to the attention of his
local editor.
And now, since the Miner editor
republished the “Buffalo DBys"
story, we have a sequel to the
same in the form of Lem Wilson’s
version of the Indian fight men-
tioned by his old-time comrade of
50 years ago on the West Texas
plains. Wilson says that was a
fight of nature in the rew- the
buffalo hunters were caught in
their birthday clothes by the In-
dian raiders, and not until the In-
dians had been driven off, did they
I dertake to put their clothes on.
Standard readers will find Wil-
son’s recount of the fight in this
issue. And the solution of this
mystery of how the news got from
Brady to the editor of the Jack-
sonville Miner, leaves us with still
greater mystery on hand. How
did Rev. Mr. Jones happen to stray
from Southern Oregon ‘way down
into the Heart o’ Texas? And,
having tasted of our fine climate,
our unexcelled hospitality and Tex-
as' lavish generosity, what ever in-
duced him to return to that far-
distant land?
And just one other question. How
Officers Hold Man In
Death Of Gomez
Doggedly working on the brutal
slaying of Solomon Gomez, which
occurred here last Sunday night,
local officers have arrested a Mex-
ican, Thomas Sefuentes, and he is
being held in the McCulloch coun-
ty jail until further developments
occur.
Gomez died in Brady hospital
about 11 o’clock last Sunday night,
never regaining consciousness
after being found beaten into in-
sensibility in a vacant building a
block west of the Brady plaza,
about 9:00 o’clock.
City Marshal Grover Chambles,
who has been leading officers in
running down the “pipe” slayer or
slayers, was noncommital Thurs-
day afternoon, but admitted “some-
thing would break within the next
few hours.”
The Mexican being held is an
ex-convict, having served two
terms in the penitentiary, accord-
ing to officers, for burglary and
bootlegging. He was arrested by
Chambles at the cemetery while
Fomez was being buried.
ever in the world did the Jackson-
ville Miner editor ever accumulate
enough carfare and or rations to
make the trip from Houston to
Jacksonville, Oregon? And, if so
WHY ?
* * *
CAN’T EXPLAIN WHY speaking
of an editor reminds of the
loud speaker of the Brownwood
Bulletin, unless it’s because one’s
thoughts jump from one extreme
to the other. However, the brazen
'individual who slings hash and
serves alphabetical soup at the
“Supper Table” in Brownwood,
having failed in his efforts to
chisel Sauce, is now attempting to
chisel Doc Sellers, the Rising Star-
editor, out of his apple crop—even
to the extent of threatening to in-
vade Doc’s cellar and the abstrac-
tion therefrom of Doc’s winter
store of apple sance.
Declaring “All we ever get from
Harry Schwenker is trouble,” the
Brownwood Bulletiner, by insinu-
ation and innuendo, with flattery
and blarney, attempts to so
ingratiate himself as to win an in-
vitation into Seller’s cellar. But
Doc. whose habitual calm is seldom
ever ruffled, immediately gets his
Scotch up, and tightens up on the
cellar door to where Sellers cellar
won’t even leak a crabapple.
* * *
Sauce has long since given up
the idea of collecting his ' wager
from the tight-fisted Brownwood
editor. Sauce no longer much cares
if Brownwood is not connected up
with the Brown county highway.
Sauce now has an airline highway
from Brady to Abilene—a city of
real Kolleges and Kultur—kom-
pared with which Brownwood looks
like a village of Komic Kapers.

who passed away in Brady sani-
tarium at 11:50 o’clock last night.
She was 57 years, 1 month and 5

Mrs. Simpson has been in ill

her condition has been serious for

EAST SWEDE N
SCHOOL BLDG.
BURNS DOWN
Furniture and Fixtures
Also Destroyed; Brady
Chemical Truck Saves
Coal House and Fuel
Th» East Sweden school house,
together with all contents was
completely destroved bv fire at
about 8:00 o’clock Wednesday
night. Included in the loss were
all the school desks and equip-
ment. as well as hooks left by pu-
pils in their desks. The building
comprised three rooms and was a
frame and weatherboarded struc-
ture, and the loss is placed at $4,-
000, contents included. Insurance
in the amount of $3,000 was car-
ried.
Origin of the blaze is unknown.
Early in the morning a light fire
vas made in the large jacketed
stoves, waste paper having been
burned. When the blaze was first
observed by two Dockal boys, who
chanced to be passing, the fire ap-
peared to be confined to the east
room which was already well
ablaze. They hurried to the Paul
Engdahl residence, about a half
mile distance, where the alarm was
given. Returning to the building,
they were able to put out the blaze
inside the building, but investiga-
tion showed the building afire all
underneath the floors, giving the
impression that the fire had start-
ed outside and underneath the
building. The frame support of the
water tank, immediately adjoining
the building, was also destroyed,
causing the big sheet-iron tank to
collapse. Arrival of the chemical
truck from Brady served to save
the coal house nearby, together
with the winter’s supply of fuel.
As a result of the fire, the hold-
ing of school has been temporarily
abandoned, although it is likely
that studies will be resumed next
week, with Presbyterian parson-
age, close at hand and at present
unoccupied, being used. A meeting
of the school trustees and County
Superintendent H. C. Braly, with
District Supervisor 0. L. Davis of
Brownwood, will be held tonight, at
which time plans will be perfected
for carrying on the school, and as
well for rebuilding.
Teachers of the East Sweden
school are A. L. Stewart, principal,
and Misses Cecile Stewart and
Hazel Owens, assistants.
CARROLL COLONY SCHOOL
BUILDING ALSO BURNED
The Carroll Colony school build-
ing, located about five miles north-
west of Brady, was also destroyed
by fire, the blaze being discovered
at about 8:00 o’clock last Saturday
night. The building had not been
used for the past three years for
school purposes, the pupils trans-
ferring to Brady schools, but was
used for community gatherings.
The school trustees had planned
to sell the building last Saturday,
but because a number of interested
parties could not be present, the
sale had been postponed until the
coming Saturday.
Clyde Eubank, who lives close
by, first noticed the blaze from his
residence, at which time the roof
appeared on fire. Only a few desks
were contained in the house, In-
surance in the amount of $1,000
was carried
After the fire it is a comforting
thought to know that insurance
protects you from complete loss.

“Nature In Raw Seldom Mild” Says Pioneer
Who Fought Indian Battle While Naked
The series of articles on "Buffalo Days," as told by J. Wright
Mooar, pioneer buffalo hunter, and reprinted recently in the Brady
Standard by permission of Holland’s Magazine, has aroused much
comment. Among others, Lem W ilson, now a resident of Jacksonville,
Oregon, and who was one of the participants in a battle with the In-
dians, as described by Mr. Mooar, gives his version of the fight, and
which differs in some respects from Mr. Mooar’s account. Mr. Wilson
says that at one stage of the series of Indian fights, the buffalo hunt-
ers were compelled to wage battle as naked as the day they were born.
Here is his version reprinted from the Jacksonville (Ore.) Miner:
Nudism, according to common
conception, is a comparatively re-
cent development in the United
States but, like most things, had
its forerunner, as will be revealed

Walls, situated on the north bank
of the Canadian river, about 60

not respond to a friendly "how”
J. Wright Mooar, famous buffalo
hunter and author of the series
from which The Miner extracted .rou
sections, • related how a party of down
his men had been ambushed early head
one morning by Indians, who at-
tempted to ride them down while
they slept and who later came upon
them while their horses were pick-
eted a half mile away grazing be-
tween two lakes. Mooar noted the
fact that Lem Wilson was one of
the men who ran for the stock
while he (Mooar) held off the In-
dians with one of those famous
Sharps rifles which could “shoot
today and kill tomorrow” as the
Indians put it.
We turned and went back up the
creek and made camp in the
open. Next morning we got the

But when Mooar asserted that
Lem’s rifle was fouled at the time,
and that “Wilson never allowed his
gun to become fouled again on that
trip,” he aroused the usually quiet,
modest Jacksonvillian to the point
of breaking his silence and recount-
