HnDERBRAND THE DEsPEEADoR-A thrill
ing autograph letter from Hildcrbrand the des-
perador is printed in the Western papers, in
which he relates his wrongs, which are many.
His troubles began with the murder of his
brother Frank by the State Guards, under jeff
Thompson, in '62. His head was smashed,
body mangled and cut to pieces in shocking
manner. The body was then thrown into a
mineral hole to rot Next followed the muir
der of his brother named George Washington,
and Canadian who was engaged to be mar
ried to Hilderbrand's sister. Both were killed
by men in Union uniform. Two weeks after
this his sister Mary died of a broken heart.
Two weeks later these same men robbed his
mothers farm, drove off the cattle, and set fire
to the house, which was the finest in Southern
Missouri. His aged mother sent his little
brother, youth of eleven years, to ask for
family Bible and few relies, but the child was
shot through the bowels. Hilderbrand con-
tinues: ..... .1-it. tIfst l,.l-
Thus were those atrocious deeds of blood and
cruelty and robbery committed on my kindred
and family. Let any man put the question to
his soul, whether such outrages would not have
aroused him to desperate retaliation at the
time when the law no longer had the power to
aVeng6 the wrongs IOr MIN ana TOT the sake OF
justice; and yet even then bore these accu-
INFLATED Outrages without lifting a hand to
avenge my brothers and sisters blood. I had
never entered the Southern army, and deter.
mined to take my wife and children and move
twenty five miles away; but within six months,
when the crops were ready to gather, com
pany of soldiers appeared and 1 met them pur-
posely at the door, shot down two and retreat
ed to the woods and Joined my wife and chill
dren, in Arkansas. '."'
Hilderbrand further SAYS that he had come
to the conclusion that he could no longer keep
up war against the whole country, and beg
ging to be ''let alone" He promises that he
will! never more modest anybody, and in future
act like an honest and peaceable man. The
letter is in the hands of his ex-rebel friends,
who propose to raise subscription and set the
outlaw up IN new home. The villain ought
to be caught and hung.

AN AMERICAN SENoRA REPELs CUBAN
INvAsIoN.-A plucky little lady is Sonora
Oviedo (nee Bartlett) whose diamond wedding
created such sensation in New York some
years ago. She resides with her husband in
Guanabacca, Cuba. One day this month her
premises were suddenly invaded by large
number of Spanish policemen. The officers
entered the dwelling and stated that Col Ra-
fael Quesada, who had recently returned from
New York, was hidden in the house. The
grounds and dependencies were closely search

private apartment. Arrived there the Spanish
representatives were confronted by the lady,
who plainly told them that her apartment was
a sacred place and not to be invaded; that she
n,edced her word Col. Quesada was not there,
and that the Spauiards must be satisfied with
this and he off. But the policemen would not
