An Army Omccr Says They DO Not Stea,
Cattle Along tho Border.

Colonel A. G.. Bracket, an old-time
army officer, now stationed at Fort
Davis, who is proud of the honor of
having made the first Indian raid into
Mexico in the iiftics, writes as follows
on the subject of the Mexican cattle
stealing on this side of the border:
A good deal has been said lately in
the public prints in regard to cattle
stealing along the Rio Grandc by Mexi-
can soldiers. 1t is very strange, to say
the least of it, that VIC who live here
have heard nothing about this except as
it was returned to us in tho columns of
newspaper printed long distance of.
Scouting parties of United States sol
diers arc kept moving along the river,
and they know nothing whatever about
the so-callcd outragcs. What they do
know is that American cattle stray in
large numbers across the river, where
the grazingi is better and where they are
looked after by their owners as carefully
as if they were on our own grounds.
This certainly has not much the app
pcarancc of cattle-stcaling. Soldiers
see hundreds of cattle crossing from
Texas to Mexico, but nobody drives
them over, they going of their own free
will where they can Craze enough TO
keep life in them, which they find is
very difficult to do in Preside County.
The fact is that there is an unprecedcnt-
ed drought in this section of the coun-
try, and many hundreds of cattle have
died of starvation. This fact is an I'M
MI NJ hut thn 20 ~
told sometimes, however much it may
be against our interests to tell it. The
carcasscs Of dead animals dot the plains
and slopes in every direction. Against
the drought and consequent total lack
of grGss no man can successfully COM
bat, and tho cowboys are only too will
ing TO have their cattle over in Mexico,
where the grazing is comparatively
good, knowing full well that they can
drive them back whenever they please.
The animals go over the slopes in the
Rio Grandc, and, seeing the inviting
prospects of the other side, cross over,
doing no harm to any one.
These are the facts of the case, and il
any Mexican has crossed on this side and
driven cattle over he has merely been
taking back his own property, the same
as our people do from the other side.
Americans along the Rio Grandc own a
great many cattle, while our ncighbori
own comparatively few. Our soldiers
keep good watch along the frontier,
and General Stanley is well advised as
to every thing transporting and looks
well after the interests of our citizens.
Under the condition of things stated
here, there must necessarily be some
Irregularities, but that the Mcxicani
come onto our side and drive away
cattle is not true. II true, though, il
would be perfectly easy to do, and still
more easy 70 drive away American cattle
already on their side of the Rio Grandc.

The Brave Old Woman of Husum.

1t was winter time, and the inhabi-
tants Of Husum had determined to
have grand rejoicings upon the ice.
Some skated, others went about in
sledges musicians played and dancers
waltzed about to the merry sound.
But merry as they were in the day
time, it was when the moon came out
that they most enjoyed themselves.
Everybody in Husum was on the ice,
except an old woman, who was terri
bly, afflicted with asthma and VIC.

too feeble to leave the house, which,
however, stood close to the river, and
she could see all that went on the
ice. As night came on, she saw
something that alarmed her. A ter
rible storm was coming from the west.
In n short time the ice would give
way, and the people on it be in dan
ger of drowning. But how was she
to let them know the peril they were
in? In vain did she call out as loud
as she could but nobody heard her.
Then taking burning piece of wood
from the stove, she set fire to the straw
of her own bed, that the blazing light
of her own burning house might bring
the people to the shore; after which
she hobbled away to place of safety.
The cottage was soon in flames, and
the people came rushing to the shore.
1t was only just in time, for the sky
was becoming black, the wind roarcd,
the ice began to crack, the rain pres
emily fell in torrents, and scarcely had
the last foot touched the strand ere
the whole mass of ice gave way. And
so, one feeble old woman saved whole
town, by generously sacrificing all her
own possessions.
