Injured In a Runaway He Died Of

Joseph Shanks died at Hotel Dleu
last evening from heart failure. Mr

a fast trot but when he reached
First street he broke Into

near the California stables. Mr
Shank was throws out In such a man
ner as to braise bis head and shoulder
but was not seriously hurt. He was
taken to the hospital where he might
receive the very beat of treatment.
Yesterday evening he was sitting np
in his room at the hospital when with
out a moment's warning he dropped
over dead.
Tim Lyons was at once notified and

Heard In Hotel Lobbies
Hon. J. W. Herndon who was in El
Paso several days ago from Kentucky
told some interesting stories of tbe
Blue grass state and threw a good side
light on the social oonditions among
tbe mountaineers of tbe Dark and
Bloody Ground.
Although a Kentucklan Mr. Hern-
don is able to see the faults of his peo-
ple clearly and without prejudice and
he pointed out the peculiar features of
the people who inhabit the mountain
regions of tbe state of fair women and
magnificent blooded horses.
"Tbe most interesting part of my
state" remarked Mr. Herndon '-is
that portion where Kentucky Virginia
and Tennessee meet where the people
of the three sister states scarcely know
to wbloh state's laws they are subject
and where In fact law of any kind is
an unknown quantity the very name of
wbloh la Incomprehensible to those
hardy makers of good whiskey and
bloody feuds.
"Djwn there In the mountain region
are the most primitive conditions in the
United States. J.ne tiae ox civiliza-
tion aeema to nave swept around tbe
Inhabitants and left tbem where their
grandfathers and great grandfathers
were la an eddy of semi-civilized exis-
tence into which the light of the pros-rasa
which has opened up new states
and conquered unknown difficulties
baa not entered. When it is remem-
bered that these people are tbe des
cendants of the pioneers of American
history. It must be looked upon as a
remarkable study in sociology.
''There are men there in tbe moun-
tains of the three states who have
never seen a wagon wheel. That may
sound strange but It is true neverthe-
less. They have never seen a railroad
la tbelr lives. None of them have
ever ridden in one. Through their
mountains and tbe mountains may ne
said to belong to them there are no
roads. Consequently wagons are use-
less. There are no laws la those moun
tain solitudes. The people are laws
unto themselves. They pay no rent
nor do they pay taxes. They are the
most Independent people today on tbe
face of the globe. Tney do not re-
oognlze tbe authority of the federal
government while the laws oi tsen-
tuokv reach tbem no better. It is true
that there are sessions of the courts
held there but their authority is nil.
"Thev believe in the natural rights
of man with a fervor that would deiigbt
and at the same time pass the under-
standing of tbe most advanced socialist
or anarchist of Europe.
"There is a law of oourse against tne
manufacture of whiskev without paying
the government tax but they laugh it
to scorn and pay no more attention to
it than if It did not exist. In fact they
sometimes convert that very law when
It reaches out its arm for their punish-
mint into a source of revenue and tbe
manner in wbloh it is done would do
credit to the finely educated Instincts
of a corporation lawyer.
"When business Is dull and a little
coin of the realm would be acceptable
one lank mountaineer will esy to
another.
"Dink let's me and you get aholt of
some money' and this is the way they
do It. 'Dink' will go to tbe authorities
and say that his friend Bill is making
whiskey. Then he will give the names
of a dosen or two witnesses and where
to find them. Bill of oourse will be
arrested. Twelve of his friends will get
so much a day on tbe jury. Tbe rest of
tbem will get witnesses' fees and Bill
will be found guilty and sentenced to
three or six months in jail and given
a fine of maybe fifty or a hundred or
two hundred dollars tie'll serve nis
time and then nnder the pauper act
be will get off without paying the fine.
His friends will olear up several hun
dred dollars and when tbe money is
spent they will go through tbe same
proceeding with another moonsniner
as the prisoner.
"I served on a jury in a court sitting
on some cases in tne dsckwooqs oi
Kentucky and I never want to do It
again. A woman will be brought into
court charged with the Illicit manuf-
acture of whiskey. Her fr'ends will
swear this and that and tbe otber
thing regardless of the truth and be
sides a jury isn't going to send a
woman to jail when tbe amount or
money involved is only abaut two or
three dollars.
There was one woman I remember
who came Into court with a baby in her
arms. There was no doubt that abe
was guilty but there Isn't a jury in the
world that would have found her guilty.
"Lots of tbe women make a praotice
of bringing babies Into court for the
purpose of working on the sympathies
of the twelve men In the jury box and
when they haven't a baby of their own
they borrow one from some of their
friends.
"Yes the mountains of Kentucky
and Virginia where they grasp hands
with Tennessee across one of tbe most
magnlfloent works of nature in the
world are blighted In as dark an
Ignorance as ever plaoed China in the
position in which she is today.
"Progress in that garden spot will
never come I am -afraid. . The dwell-
ers In the mountains resent the presen
ce of a stranger and tbe man who
would invest money there would lose
notonly his fortune but hlsllfeas well.
If a stranger makes a visit to those
mountains the supposition at once is
tbat be is an Internal revenue oficer.
and be is shot on slgbt. One of
tbe most prominent young men
of Kentucky was killed there
near tbe Tennessee line some
time ago. by a mountaineer who
believed be was a government agent.
Tbe yojng man was inspecting a piece
of timber for a big lumber firm.
Without knowing it he stumbled upon
tbe still house of the old mountaineer
burled away on the mountain side in
as pretty a stretch of forest as any in
tbe world and tbe maker of mountain
dew promptly filled him with buckshot
on the tbat principle tbat dead men
tell no tales.
"They claim tbat there Is justice in
the views they hold concerning the
manufacture of whiskey. They oan
ralso nothing but corn there and to
make any prod I out of It they are oblig-
ed to distile tbe grain into whiskey.
As this Is their sola support they
claim tbat the government has no
right to put a tax on it. Their chil-
dren are brought up In this belief as
they were by tbelr parents before
them and In all probability tbat edu-
cation will last to tbe end of time.
"A person unacquainted there would
not believe the true stories of their
ignorance which are told. They are
scarcely more than savages. Tell a
typical mountaineer as a friend of mine
did that Christ Is dead and they will
look at yon with the oonfiding lgnoran-
oo of a South Sea Islander and tell
ynn that tbey didn't even know be was
sick. With such Ignorance what is
there to do? There are no schools bo
churches no educational institutions
of any sort whatever.
"And yet their country wbloh they
hold as Robin Hood's band held Sher-
wood forest is rich in oak and pine
and walnut. Some of tbe finett lumber
of tbe world crowns tbe tops of tbe
Alleghenies and the saw mill and the
ax would convert it into great wealth
but tbey prefer that it should shelter
bear and deer and wild turkey and be-
lieve tbat tbe streams and rivers are
for fish and game and not to be used
as waterways for tbe product of lum-
ber mills.
"Make friends with these people
though and they are as true as steel.
As enemies they are relentless and bit-
ter." Theodore Bering Jr. T. E. Jones
W. E. Jones and J. W. Singleton
of Houston and Elward
Brown of Burton left El Paso tbls
morning for a three week's tunttng
trip in the Sierra Madre line (or Ca-
6as (i.-aodes. From there tbey will
take pack horses and mules and strike
out into tbe mountains.
All five members of the hunting
party are well armed with Winchest-
ers and have plenty of ammunition for
a lone trip and a great deal of sport.
Tbe object of tbe east Texas sportsmen
is to ha as many bear as possible.
Deer will not be beneath their notice
but their avowed Intention is to make
war on bruin and judging from their
past records they will no doubt be suc-
cessful. All of them are well known
in Houston and the surrounding ooun-
try. Mr. Singleton has already five
bear to his credit and expects to in-
crease tbe number. The oountry to
which they are going is one of the
finest game preserves in the world.
With the party are four Dutch boar
hounds capable of tackling a bear or a
mountain Hon. Mr. Brown has a
number 50 express Winchester and
tender hearted guests at the hotel have
seriously contemplated a projeot to
warn the bear in the Sierra Madre
country to lay low and say nothing for
several weeks.
Mr. Bering is a prosalnett hardware
dealer In Houston.
"Everybody next year In the oountry
near Houston will raise rice" said be
this morning. "Tbat is a;comparatlvely
new Industry but it is destined to be-
come the moet Important in that part
of Texas. Hitherto It bas not been
cultivated except on the Louisiana
border.
"I have one hundred acres under
cultivation this year and next year I
will increase that to four hundred
a?res. Some Idea of the profit In rice
oan be obtained when I tell you- tbat
out of thirty acres which will be bar-
vested in tbe earlypart of September
I will get fifteen sacks of grain per acre
worth $4.25 each. Tbat will mean more
thao four thousand dollars for the
hundred acres and that out of land
which has never been plowed before.
The expenses for this year will be
about 9-500 Including a pumping ap-
parautus. trough and reaper binder
and thrasher. All over tbat will be
clear gain. No other orop which can
be grown oan show so good a reoord.
"Tbe great expense will be the
pumping. In some districts there
have been large crops of what is called
providence' rloe grown with water
from the rains alone and having bo
water pumped on the fields. It ha
rained there twice and three times a
week elnoe January. I believe that
rice will be the future crop in that sec-
tion of the country. The rains have
completely ruined the cotton and there
will be only a small orop tbls year
Tbe fields are grown with weeds on
account of tbe rains and tbe pads have
been washed off of those plants tbat
matured."
John S. Mitchell a well known busi-
ness man of San Francisco gave utter-
ance to some very decided opinions oo
tbe quarantine against that olty by tbe
state of Texas at tbe Orndorfi tbls
morolng.
Mr. Mitchell characterized tbe
quarantine as a senseless opposition to
the interests of El Paso by tbe board
of health of Texa wbloh he said is
back of the entire scheme.
"In my opinion El Paso bas lost be-
tween two hundred and fifty and three
hundred thousand dollars by reason of

the quarantine" said Mr. Mitchell.
This amount of money would otherwise
be now in the possession of the busi-
ness men of this olty. I believe that
the hotels hare suffered materially in
the outrageous quarantine.
"People of any means pasting
through EI Paso would naturally stop
over here for a few days at least. It is
a city with characteristics peculiar to
itself. Now these people are obliged
to take tbe northern routes in going
east and a great volume of traffic is
thrown dlreoily out of the path of El
Paso.
"At no time has there been any
necessity for tbe quarantine. I can
state most positively tbat there had
not been a single case of bubonic pla-
gue la San Francisco. The disease is
one tbat would have spread if any
germs had been In the city. China-
town the portion of the city In which
It is alleged to have been Is a filthy
place and the disease would have
spread rapidly.
"The scare and it has been nothing
but tbat started In the police depart-
ment and tbe board of health in San
Francisco. The police department want-
ed more men and couldn't get tbem.
The board of health wanted a big ap-
propriation and they told the business
men there that if tbey did not get what
they desired they would tie the city up
and ruin business. Their action was a
threat and they made the threat
good .
"There was a meeting of prominent
business men to discuss the matter
and it was decided not to make the
appropriation. A sensational news-
paper appeared the next morning
with the statement that Irving M.
Scott president of the Union Iron
Works has given $5000. This was
denied the next day by Mr. Scott.
'The board of health then declared
that the plague had broken out in the
Chinese colony. There are thirty
thousand Chinamen living in China-
town and it Is natural that there should
be one or two deaths every few days
Every death that ooourred there was
attributed to the plague.
Surgeon general Wy man repeatedly
stated tbat there was no sign of the
of the bubonlo plague in San Fran-
rlsoo. So did Judge Morrow -of the
United States federal court senator

"The governor of the state bas declar-
ed many times tbat the plague has
never existed there. Tbe business
men and oltizena of San Francisco have
never believed it. We have not paid
any attention to the stories. Naturally
we would be more interested than any-
body else if tbe plague was there.
"The people of San Franoisco are in
dally contact with the Chinese in every
line. They buy vegetables from them
and conduct business day after day in
Chinatown in what was supposed to be
the infected district. The quarantine
against San Francisco however has not
hurt tbe business of that city a great
deal.
"Tbat it has hurt El Paso there Is
no doubt to my mind and lam sur-
prised that it should have been allowed
to remain so long as it bas.
"The quarantine officer at San
Francisco is allowed to Issue permits to
come through Texas. That if nothing
else would show tbe whole thing to be
a farce. The quarantine is not strict
either. When I came through several
gentlemen who had been In Sao Fran-
cisco less that twenty days ago were
allowed to pass through. They were
well dressed meo however. Another
evidently a laboring man was held up
and put off the train.
"The last case reported in San Fran-
oisco and let me assure you that it was
not a case of plague either although It
was so stated was on July 3d. They
have not even reported a case for more
than forty days Tbe danger Is passed
at the end of twenty days. Then why
should there be a quarantine?
"No state is quarantined against
San Francisco with the exception of
Texas. The men connected with tbe
board of health are anxious for it to
continue however. There is an ap-
propriation of about S33.0C0 or $40 000.
and while it last tbey do not want to
see the quarantine declared off for so
long as It lasts there Is money in it for
them. They are drawing salaries and
allowances for mileage and they in-
tend to profit by It if they oan. I think
the whole thing lean outrage and tbat
it should be appealed to the surgeon
general of the army."
