DIR. Erhard's Letters.


ised series of letters entitled "reminiscences
of Texas Veteran" Perhaps it may be
well to allow the writer to set forth his
plan aud some of the principal heads OF his
narrative. This we will do in his own
words, as follows:
I'm series of letters I will try to give
your readers concise description from the
time when the misfortunes and suffering OF
the Santa Fe expedition began to accumu-
late. which was at the foot of the Staked
Plains, for I am sure none of them have
ever read the able description of this expe-
dition written by George wilkins Kendall,
published in two volumes, now nearly %
or 80 years ont of print. and only to be
found in large Libraries or in those of few
private persons.
vii! begin little before we arrived at
the Plains, give description of our travel
over them, the betrayal of the command
our surrender of arms; then the journey to
San Miguel, n Mexico thence down the
Rio Graude through tornado del Muerte
(Journey of death) That terrible 80 mile
desert without water, food or tirewood, was
indeed tourney of death. Next, our arri-
val at Ell Paso, then at chihuahua, thence
Zaoate cas where We spent Christmas III the
military garrison, thence to Durango and
San Luis Potosi where | was left sick in
in the military hospital for nearly five
months. From there my journey to Tampi-
co, my embarkment from there to New
Orleans. a mutiny and robbery of coin pre-
vented By the passengers, my attempted re-
turn to Texas, by Steamer Merchant which
wrecked at Last Island, La. Left penniless
without clothes, had to work on sugar
plantation in sugar making time. At last
after making money enough to return to
Texas, | arrived at Galveston before March,
1912. Ny tarry at H ouston on account of
high water finally getting off by indness
of an OK telmster, arrived in Bastrop about
May 1892.
l VIII make all short not to weary your
readers or you Many incidents and adven-
lures occurred during that time"
Again he says:
In my descriptions I will go more into

The road law OF Texas ought to be greatly
modified. 1t imposes an oppressive servi-
tude upon laborers, and eXempts the owners

existed before the war; bnt at that time the
bulk Of laborers We're slaves, and when their
time WAS required by law to repair roads the
demand was practically tax upon the plan

TREY contrary effect. A wealthy planter of

Lining Signal On last Tuesday evening
at W. F. Holcomb'5 Mr.. Len Barnett threw
down lighted cigarette which set fire to
the clothing of Mrs. E. L Stell. As soon
as the fame enveloped her, she became
frightened and ran which course only added
fury to the fire, and before assistance could
reach her she was very severely burned
Mr.. Barnett was sitting in his buggy at the
time, and attempting to get out, got his foot
entangled in the lines, and the horses took
fright, ran away and tore the buggy to
pieces. physician was summoned to at
tend Mrs Stell, and everything done to allie
viate her pain, but her suffering is still very
great Her injuries are not thought danger

The record of the cigarette, heretofore
one of unmitigated folly, is verging upon
crime. 1t promises soon to become as de-
structive as the loaded or unloaded pistol.
