HOW SOL. LOFLEN BEAT THE SHER.
IFF.

Sol. Lofien, as he is familiarity known,
is one of the characters of Huron eoun-
ty. He bad rather be engaged in a law
suit than eat, and there are few lawyers
that know more about the legal aspect of
a case than does Sol. When he went to
farming first-class lawyer was spoiled.
Last season Sol had a race on hand
Che is very fond of race-horses and al
ways keeps several in his stables, land a
man whom we viii OBSTINATE as n, who
held a note against Sol for considera-
bic sum, wanted TO bet against Soils
horse. As it happened N didn't have
money enough, when Sol said he would
bet him an equal amount against the
face of the note, to which n agreed,
pledging himself to give up the note in
case he lost the bet
n did lose, but instead of doing as he
agreed refused to give up the note. Sol
refused to pay it, and n sued it and got
Judgment, bet not being good in law.
Sol was used to such things and SIM
ply kept his property out of the county.
(RIchland) so that the Sheriff could find
nothing to levy on. One day Sol had
occasion to go to Mansfield, and rode Il
fine racer to that place. While he was
attending to business, the Sheriff found
who owned the horse and forthwith took
possession to satisfy Ms execution, and
Sol wended his way home in deep cogi-
tation.
A few days after he again rode into
Mansfield on a fine horse, and seeking
the Sheriff told him he had race on
hand and wished to leave the other
horse in exchange for his racer; and the
last one being fully as valuable as the
first, the Sheriff agreed, whereupon Sol
took his racer and soon after had her in
this (Huron) county.
A day or two after this transaction Il
near neighbor of Soils called ON the
Sheriff of Richland county and said he
would ike tohave his horse. The Sheriff
found he couldn't hold another mans
property on Soils debt and was compel
ed TO give it up.
The Sheriff having levied on Soils
property, the execution was satisfied and
Ms note wasn't worth the paper on
which it was written. But the Sheriff
was the maddest man in Mansfield when
he saw how Sol Lohen had got the best

A TEXAS BORDER STORY.

Previous to the breaking out of the
Mexican war in lS45, was making a
tour of observation through the western
portion of Texas, looking for an eligible
location on which to commence my
career as stock raiser. The summer
season had passed away, and October
with its hazy beauties fingered upon the
prairies, the low trees and tender mes
quite foliage, adding softness and grace
that gave a charm to all that The eye
CHANGED to rest upon.
One afternoon, when the sun was low
ering itself in the west, leaving in the
valleys shadows that the art of the
painter could hardly equal for sofness
and variety of shades, passed through
historic Goliad, small village on the
limpid San Antonio. and spurred my
horse ON toward the old Spanish mis-
sion, which reared itself as some antique
structure, a link between the living
present and the dead past. As / rode
that time of the year fordable, the mis-
sion attracted my full attention. 1t was
almost square built of rough stone, and
commanded view of the whole coun-
try. The walls were thick. windows
few, narrow and barred with rods of
iron; and from the sides and ends, were
port holes, from which in former days
the muzzles of guns peered forth at hes
tile men.
1t was ar the spot around this mission
where Fannin and his gallant soldiers
were slaughtered by the treacherous
Mexicans. The river, the waters of
which look milky in their purity, that
day were tinged with eddying pools,
leaving the incarnation which distin-
gushes the corolla from the rose. Dis
mounting from my horse, my mind took
in at a glance all that occurred on the
day of the massacre, and q multitude of
emotions thronged my breast. What a
change had taken place since that event
full period. Instead of armed men bear
ing lance, swords and carbine, children
played around the low broad door, and
up from the river was vending its way
in the shadows ofthe hill and struggling
sunlight train Of empty Mexican OK
carts-fifty or more-two wheeled We
hicles, and the small animals yoked with
wooden bars from one to the other on the
forepaIt of their sturdy heads The
drivers, vaqueros, were eostumed IN
leather breeches and jackets. and wore
upon their heads the inevitable sombrero.
As the Melcans goaded their animals
with long poles, in which rested long :
sharp pieces of iron, up the acciIvlty ana
across the prairies, my eyes commencee
to take in the objects that surroundeo
me.
The mission had been transformed
