FROM Columbia tTexJ Letter.
An exci,ipQ and dramatic Incident occurred
here last evening Sunday morning two
men rode into town. Their remarkable ap.
penrnnce at once attracted the attention OF
every one. They were covered with mud
and carried perfect arsenal Of rifles, pistols
and knives with them. one was man over
sixty, with long, gray hair, and blood In hts
eye the other was q man OF thirty years,
built like a giant and wearing . terrible
scowl ON his face. They were father and son,
the back woods OF Matagords county. The
old man said he was looking for his "darter
Kate" who had "lit out " with her COUSIN,
Bili wofiord. Yesterday the father and son
located the runaway couple, who were
occupying q small iishernan's tent half q
mile outside the town. When old wofYord
found out the location ot his erring 'sdarter," I"
large crowd OF curious men and boys
followed the terrible looking pair to the
vicinity Of the tent, ~ the old man kept con-
tinuslly examining his gun and saying !:
"Sam, I'm goen to kill him suahf' As
they neared the tent the crowd fell back,
while the old man and his giant son ap-
preached with rifles In hand. suddenly the
liap Of the tent was violently thrown open
from tho inside, and there stood Bill and
Kate, each holding terrible Winchester rifie
one covering the old man, the other the son.
Old grayhead and Sam glared like two wild
beasts on the brave lovers, and Bill called
out: DO you s'pose I'm Ro'n to give II up
after we done trAmped 1t together all the
way from tho Colorado to the Brazos1 Not
much she mines, and you may stan there
now and see us married." The old man and
sam, under cover ofthe suggestive winches-
, tiers, slowly moved back, all the time facing
the boy Bill and his Kate, who had the drop
on them. Meantime courier had gone to
town for a license and a preacher, sand after
nearly two hours, during which time Bill
and Kate never took their eyes of the old
man and Sam, and threatened to Kill either
should he raise a hand, the preacher and the
license arrived.
During the ceremony the bridegroom kept
his rife at a halfcock pointing towards his
father in-law. The preacher was 80 afraid
they would open hostilites while he was
there that he could scarcely finish the cere-
mory. After the marriage the old man de-
livered a terrible curse on moth, said he would
spare their lives now, provided they never
set foot In Matagorda county. "lf you do"
said he. ss he shook his long, dirty, yellow
locks and violently struck his rifle with one
hand, "if you do, you're both on you dead
soon as you cross the line, for when I'm gone
sam he's there. You've got the whole world
before you, 'cept Matagorda county. Now
gor' With this philippe the old man and
son departed forlorn, while Bill pulled down
