cd me to take the morni 2 train north

Of IIayaura's production On enter.

find men in arms--needle guns and six
shooters, with cautious hands on
the trigger, ready in Il moments
warning. My newly made friend, Mr..
Nolm, ex.sherifp Of Navarro county. in
troduced me to Mr. Sparks, Captain of
State police, the officer in charge Of a
prisoner, whom ! have since learned,
they were conveying to this officer.
Mr. Sparks Immediately told me he
was afraid had evil intentions towards
him, and intended to relieve him of his
charge, and at the same time gave
orders to his guards to shoot me down
on the slightest movement that did not
suit them. On taking in the situation,
| thought it best to leave the
train, but the conductor, Mr., Brown,
wishing to make his passengers
all safe advised me to repair to the bag
gog2 car which | accordingly did. The
worthy United States officer not being
yet thoroughly satisfied followed me
with cautious step with his gun to his
shoulder and hand on the trigger ready
for an assault, not being armed ! had
resolved to leap from the train. Now,
Mr. Editor, it seems strange if one can't
travel by public conveyance without
submitting to insults and unwarranted
fears of cowardly officers.
