A correspondent in Nebrasks, who
lived Q number of years in Texas, rises
TO defend the character Of "Ssm" MAYER
lck-he never heard him called Colo
nel-Against the aspersion that he was .
cattle thief. Il seems that he fought for
Texas in the war for Independence, and
Texas having no money he ives paid in
land warrants. Coming from Connect
cut, and therefore having been born be-
fore yesterday. he got a. many Of these
warrants as possible from his comrades,
sometimes buying them for plug Of
tobacco or 9 pair Of old shoes With
these he became large landowner. and
as ranches were not so close together
then e they are now, the cattle would
stray of sometimes without being
branded. Thus unbranded cattle came
to be called Mavericks" This CORES
pendent says that Maverick, although
he became wealthy, was 90 stingy that
once, having lost his hat at the begin
ming of Q stage ride of 1909 miles, he
would have continued hatless to the end
If his tellOw-passeDgers had not "guyed"
him after long time into buying one.
This was the final point about Maverick
on which we wanted lnformation-as to
whether he was of profuse and gener-
Gus disposition, or whether he was in
in the habit Of holding on to . penny
until the unfortunate bird depicted up
on it emitted piercing screams. Our
curiosity having been satisfied upon this
point, and 1t having been established
both who Maverick was in the singular.
and what Mavericks were in the plu-
raj, the time has arrived to announce
this investigation adjourned sine die.
