They We're not positive, but thought
the one addressed was called Mary.
The next day the lifeless body oil
Crockett jenkins was found swinging
from the limb of great oak nj the
ton of tall hill. The moral proof
that Mary Sullivan committed the
crime assisted by her mother and Sis
ter seems 10 be conclusive; but there
was no positive proof. And so wheh
Mary and her mother and sister were
arrested nothing could be done 10
them. They were all discharged, and
when Mary went back home she found
deaths head notices glanng ut her.
warning her to leave the neighborhood.
All the rest of her friends were either
dead or wounded or had left. Bud
Campbell was dead; Rely Campbell
was dead; Crockett Jenkins was dead;
her brother Tom had gone away to
recover his wound, which had begun
to trouble him again; her mother ana
sister had fed, she was an outcast and
alone. But in spite of all this the
woman's indomitable courage never
failed her. She went on to make az
rangements about selling some cows,
pnmed and oiled her pistols, and then
wrote defiant notes to per enemies.
On the goth OF September she
rode over to farmer Hubbens and
asked for lodging for the night. She
had her little 5-year-old child with
her. About ten o'clock voice called
her to the door. Her usual prudence
seems to have deserted her. She did
not even take her pistol, which for five
wears had never left her hand day or
night. She reached the door opened
it and peered out. The night was
dark and windy. Heavy, rainy clouds
hid everything, and she failed to see
the five men, with pistols in their
hands, standing within a few feet OF
her. She opened the door and stepped
out. Three strong pairs of arms
reached out from the darkness, and in
an instant she was whirled away out
to the public road. She knew what
fate lay in store for her, but uttered
neither threats nor entreaty. She said
never a word, but walked along quietly
with her captors. They bound her
arms and feet, and tossing her over a
horse as though she were a meal sack,
they Joined the mob which was await
ing them on the road. They rode on
till Mary recognized with thrill OF
horror that they were approaching
the place where Jenkinssswas hung.
They halted under the very tree, and
the leader taking rope from behind
it solemnly fastened the moose about
the woman neck. She never finched.
They took her off of the horse, dragged
her to the foot of the tree, threw the
rope over the same limb from which
Crockett Jenkins had dangled week
before, and drew the woman up. A
convulsive, horrible shudder ran
through her, but she spoke never a
word. The wind moaned dismaHy
through the branches of the wood,
whispering to the trees as it went, that
a woman's body, cold, and stiff in
death, was swinging from the tallest
branch of the old oak tree.

An Ancient Texas Town.
tireenville Banner.

The town of Ysleta, county seat Of
Ell Paso county, has been proven to be
the Oldest town in the United States
Records are in existence dating back
to 1910, and at that time it was a con.
siderable town, inhabited by ver
intelligent and orderly set of Pueblo
Indians. These Indians titled the
soil, lived in adobe houses and wor.
SHIPPED God, before they had ever seen
a white man or heard of Bible. To.
day their habits are very little changed
from what they were $50 years ago,
except that they have substituted the
Catholic religion for their former wor.
ship. The majority of the population
of the Rio Grande valley is composed
of the descendants or these original
American Indians, but they are differ.
ent, as they always have been, from
the rowing Indian tribes that dwelt
in other parts of North America at
the time of it's discovery by Columbus.
In fact, large proportion of the pre-.
sent so-called Mexicans are of this
true Indian blood, without trace Of
Spanish about them.
The people, around Ysleta, raise
corn, wheat, onions, fruit and grapes.
The wants are simple and easily sup.
piled. They know nothing of riches
and care less, it seems; butin the same
old, sleepy way they live on like their
fathers did, knowing nothing of the
world beyond the mountain ranges
that separate them from the outside
world. 1t is their boast that their
forefathers were the subjects Of the
great and good Montesumas in the
DAYS of Mexico's ancient glory. They
have a tradition that their tribe came
from the far north, gradually follow.
ing the mountains southwark into
Mexico, Peru and other southern
countries.
Their history is indeed interesting
and it has been suggested that they
may be the lost tribe of Israel, haV,
ing wandered through Asia, crossed
over to America at Behring's strait
which is only 40 miles wide, and grad,
ually peopled this whole continent
with the red race. The form OF Wor'
ship held by these ancient MexlcanS
gives color to this theory, for they

verse. No other race of barbanans
has ever had so high a conception Oh
Deity. They also had traditions Of d
the flood, of the garden OF Eden' Of
Cain and Abel, and belief IN COLL
ing Messiah OF great prophet.
The city of Ysleta now contains 10
$500 inhabitants and Is beginning "

Fresh Meat for Farmers.


In some neighborhoods remote from the
shops OF the butchers the farmers have
madea regular system Of what was at first
but aeighborly courtesy. In one case, in
Tennessee, sixteen or eighteen farmers
formed club. each one to furnish beef
from Is months to 9 years old. Then one
Of the members who has the most skill in
the butchers art dresses all the beeves, and
for his labor receives the hide Of each ami.
nal he kills. All the beeves are driven to
the home Of the butcher to be slaughtered.
II desired, one beef is killed each Saturday
during the warm months until the sixteen
or eighteen beeyes arc all disposed OF.
To the member whose steer produces the
best beef premium OF $ is given and u
tine OF like amount is imposed upon him
whose beet iails to:show Il per cent. OF fat
meat. The meat is nicely handled and 80
divided that in the course Of a season each
member receives every part Of the carcass.
As the beeves usually net from 800 to 100
pounds, there is, when divided into sixteen
or eighteen parts, enough in each part to
supply a family for three or four days. As
the club has been in existence for more
than twenty years. and its members say
they would not let it 20 down for any
reasonable consideration, It may be declared
a decided success aud worthy OF imitation.
