offer of 500 per acre to q gentleman own
ing large tract Of land here, which wss
promptly refused. Located, as it is, with
Fort Worth, Dallas and other markets

on the west, the possibilities to be
expected from the development of the

that within FIVE years the ispds within the
bounds Of this field will sell for 500 per

to place themselves in q position to en-

extent, quality and value of these beds.
There is practically an inexhaustible
quantity of character equal to the Meal

demonstrated through efforts that a Sec

General Butler Expresses HimJeh on the
Trial and Execution OF the Anarchists.
CHICAGO, ILL, March II. - The
"AIsrm" paper once edited by the snarch-
ist, Parsons, will tomorrow publish 8
somewhat remarkable column letter from
General B. F. Butler to Captain W. P.
Black, received q few days ago in the
course of closing up matter connected
with the case of Spies and the other Hay-
market defendants. General Butler refers
to his association with Captain Black as
"our.pleasant acquaintance under most
unpleasant circumstances, joint unsuc-
cessiul advocacy Of life for men who were
unlewfully convicted and unWisely execu-
ted" The General then after declaring
that he chad not believed 1t
possible that pAlpable Judicial murders
could again prevail in this country" pro-
ceeds to compare at length the anarchists
trial and death with the persecution of
people for Witchcraft in colonial Massa-
chusetts.
"Being fully imbued with the knoWl-
edge of what good men will do" writes
General Butler, "when they are either
frightened with their souls or their
bodies, it has not been to me 2
source of so much wonder as
1t might otherwise have been how
the law was administered In frenzy in
Chicago. Years hence, when you and /
have passed away, the cases OF Gilds
Corey and the witches snd the case OF
| the anarchists will be compared by Just
minded men more than hey are now.
l hope there may one feet follow In the
anarchists cases that followed in the
witches cases: Judge SeWell, rev.
erend clergyman and one of the judges OF
witches, before he dad learned how
greatly he had sinned against God, and
he repented in sack cloth and ashes,
literally coming out in thel face Of his
congregation and standing in the broad
aisle of the church exclaimiug, while his
written confession OF his sins and folly in
the witches cases was being read:
Alas, God have mercy on me
| for what have DONE"
General Butler says he "Iears that no one
of the judges in the anarchists case,
though having the incredible folly Of
Judge SeWell, will have his piety in pub
licly appealing to God for mercy" The
letter concludes: zone further fact, which
1 send to you for your comfort. The de.
termined action Of 8 single member Of
our profession standing up against this
Witchcraft craze brought it TO an end.
