DALLAS, June 2a-lEditor HERALD.
In the letter of your Longview cor
respondent in yesterdays HERALD,
narrating the statement OF Mr.. Brown,
an ex-Mier prisoner, one OF three
things Ia evident: Either that Mr..
Browns memory has sadly failed, or
that the correspondent misunderstood
him, or that Mr.. Brown never knew
the facts. The prisoners were not
taken In November, 1912, but on
Christmas Day. They were not starved
or worked - months, and then, 100
strong, In the City OF Mexico, made 70
draw beans-nine black TO one
white bean--the black mean
ing d, ath; but, after a captivity OF
about four months, 600 miles this side
of that city, 40 of them drew the
beans, one man in ten, In stead OF nine
IN ten, being shot. Mr.. Brown did
not, as stated, draw the last white
bean, that lot falling TO the interpre-
tor, the now lamented and chivalrous
Major Alfred =. Thurmond, u gallant
soldier in the late civil war, After this
the surviving lG0 were marched TO the
City of Mexico, thence 10 Perote, there,
after an entire captivity of y months,
they were ieloased, sent TO Vera Cruz
and allowed TO return home. The
statement from Longview Is parody
on history, j. IL. Is.

TO catch fire. The burning balloon shot
up in the air very rapidly with Will

basket. When short distance up
the crowd yelled, "jump" but he
didn't heed the warning, and after
going several hundred feet up the bal
loon collapsed and Patterson fell to

Hfeless mass of humanity.

A SLIM DAY.
The Fat Bailiff Rises to Explain
and DiscOurSes on the Opening
of the Barrel.

"Times are pretty hard just now," solil-
oquized the red-faeed bailiff, as he brushed
a medieval cobweb from the hand-painted
Oilcloth yesterday morning. ''Why, just
look at the bull pen; not single prisoner
over night, and only couple of continued
cases on the docket Bymeby, maybe,
things will look up little. Just wait till
the barrels are tapped and then the boys
will all have money to whoop it up with.
and business in this court room will be on
the BOOM"
Hizzoner then assembled to the airy perch
where the blind goddess plays perennial
engagement with the sword and scales, and
the case of little Joe Demands, a desperate
of 9 rocky winters, was called. Joe
stood up before the court and blubbered like
a little calf. while his mother testified that
he was youth of vicious habits (sic)
and that as he wouldn't mind her she
thought he ought to be sent 20 the reform
school. The ease is absurd, and the lad
looked as if a couple of applications of birch
bark would make him just as good as any
other boy. The court took the mother
under advisement.
Fred Maresel and Albert Shaw We're
charged with having laid in wait for John
Cuff while the latter was on his way home
and of having whipped him. Cuff claims

for trial the case went over until to-day.
