TO all around, Noble woman shall never
forget her. How she dressed my wounds
and miuistercd to my wants, how she took
me to hcs house, nursed me and supplied
me with every comfort my situation de
manded, IL worthy the praise and admira-
ton of the age in which we live, and de-
serves the notice of pen more graphic
than my own,
will now pass without detail to the town
Of Waco, at which place arrived on the
10th, ! Immediately filed complaint WIN
Judge Oaks, against Col. Williams aud liol'
man, warrants were issued and that day
the Sheriff arrested them both. On the
next day the examining court, after hearing
the evidence, which in every particular was
the same as herein stated, released Holman
for want of jurisdiction, which was very
proper, and required Williams TO enter into
bond Of the sum Of five hundred dollars for
his personal appearance at the next term
of the District Court of Mol.enan county,
in default Of which he was committed to
Jail. On the following Monday or Tuesday
Williams, having made the above bond was
released
would here state that Col. Williams is
the identical Indian who, during last sum
mer, on his way to Austin, in the town OF
Waco assaulted little, unarmed and de-
fencelcss boy, and shot at highly respect
able lady of that place, his arrow missing
her head but few inches Yet this very
Indian, for the most brutal and unjustiiia-
BILE attack upon me is only, by the so-called
court of justice of that highly civilized and
enlightened town, held to answer under
the tho penalty of forfeiting the paltry sum
of $500. ! tried to learn the sureties on
the bond, but the officers refused their
names. also endeavored to procure n
copy of the evidence before Judge Oaks,
but was unable to do so. The Waco Regis
ter, promised to publish the entire proceed
ings in the examining court but as yet
has failed to do it. OF their motives, |
leave the reader to his own conclusions.
In conclusion | would say that the Tonk-
ava Indian by his association with the
white man has imbibed many of his vices
and none of his virtues. His savage ma
ture and unparalleled brutality remains
unallered. 1t is the same it originally was,
awed only by his knowledge of the superb
GRITTY of his white bretheren.
Respectfully, &C..
JOHN l.. LOVEJOY.
