CHARLES WEIGER'S CASE.

Held to Answer for Obtaining Goods
Under False Pretenses.
In the Police Court yesterday Judge
Cravens rendered judgment in the case
of Charles Weiger, charged with obtain
ing goods under false pretenses. The
Judge went over the evidence in the case
and read various documents of the CORE
spondence carried on by Weiger with the
Philadelphia firm of Sharpless Bros.
The documentary evidence. as well as
much of the testimony, went to show
that Weiger obtained credit with the firm
by his representations that he started
business with capital of S12, 900 cash and
without liabilities. 1t seemed to be fur
ther evident, said the Judge, that these
representations were made for the pur-
pose Of obtaining extensive credit.
Weiger obtained between 81 800 and 81. 900
worth of goods and became insolvent.
owing Sharpless Bros. $l,0S3, having.
however, made them some payments.
The Judge, after summing up the facts
developed at the inquiry, held Weiger to
answer to the Superior Court with bail
fixed at $1,000.
Weiger has furnished bail, with John
We'll and George Newman as sureties.

ROAD CAVED TN

The Supervisors Decide to Do Some
Trestifng Down the River.
Road Overseer Bryan of the Freeport
District appeared before the Board of Su-
pervisors yesterday and reported that
large portion of the levee road in front of
Senator Johnston's ranch had caved into
the river, by reason Of the strong cur
rent at that point, and that it is impossi-
BILE at the present time for heavy teams to
traverse the road.
Some 200 feet of the road has caved in.
After considering the matter the Super
visors decided that the best way to Keep
the road safe was to build a trestle around
the damaged point, and Supervisors
Jenkins and Bates were instructed to
have the work done.

WAS ONCE A PIRATE.
And Even Now He Rather
Glopies in the
Past.
He Is the Last Survivor Of
the Famous "Lafitte
Gang"
At Eighty-Seven He Is Still
Alive and Hale and
Hearty,
And Resides Peacefully Near
the Scene OF His Pipat-
zeal Career.

Bolivar peninsula is sand spit on
the Texas coast terminating opposite
Galveston in Bolivar Point. A few
miles eastward the peninsula narrows
to mere ridge known as Roll Over, and
there lives Charles Cronea, aged eighty
seven and the last survivor of the
famous "Lafitte Gang" who once doml-
mated Galveston island or the Republic
0 f Campeachy."
Mr.. Cronea was born in the south Of
France IN 1905, and was made cabin
boy at the age of ten. After many Voy-
ages he found himself, very much to his
amazement, cabin boy Oh what was
practically pirate ship. He was, in
fact, one of "Lafitte's men" and has
been a Texan ever since. There was a
faint odor of legitimacy about Lafitte's
rule. A revolutionary government in
Mexico had appointed military rulers
in Texas, and they regularly commits
stoned Admiral and Governor Jean La
fitte. The governments above him
went to pieces, but he promptly took
out commissions from and flew the flags
of South American revolutlonlstS, held
"Campeachy" and preyed on Spanish
commerce.
When he is feeling well-and he is
age Mr.. Cronea can talk by the hour
about the wild times of Lafitte and Aury,
Long. Ellis Beam and other filibuSters.
To recent visitor he said that. aside
from their "business," the La6tteans
were good men.

make the captures"'

wasn't anY use to resist"

necessary"'
eyes, we had pistols. the old-fash-
Toned one-barreled kind. with t1ints.
We also had cutlash-es. They were big
things, as keen as razor. They
weighed about five pounds. When one
of those knives came down it was good
by, Coly."
.'What sort of crew did you have,
pretty rough ?"
.We had the same discipline as on
board a man-of-war. We couldn't have
done what we did if it hadn't been so.
Any man who miSbehayed was pun
ished."
Which is the truth. In fact, Lafitte
hanged one of his favorite captains for
plundering an American vessel. In the
state capitol at Baton Rouge hangs a
large oil painting, commemorative OF
the battle of New Orleans. In the very
thickest of the fight, directing the work

American brig was sent TO deal with
him. lie entertained the commanding
hands only, but his Establishments were
without avail. The torch was applied
to the buildings, and the fire burned
until the camp was i'll ruins.
Then the fleet of pirate ships was
brought together. LaGtte's favorite
ship, The Bride. was put In readiness.
Those freeboOters who wished went
with La6tte. The others scattered.
The king pirate in his flagship, with
the feet following, sailed away. lie
never returned to Texas. He settled on
the coast of Yucatan, where he was
given a concession of land for his ''serv
ices on behalf of Mexican independ-
ence," and where he lived in peace
till he died" In his old age he re-
formed. So did many of his followers.
Mr.. Cronea joined the Texan army,
took part in the battle Of San JacintO,
married and located on the seashore,
and now has ninety living descendants,
including many great grandchildren.
All these were born in three counties of
Texas, the oldest, Mrs. Matilda Slough,
being fifty-slx. In conclusion, Mr..
Cronea adds with pride that soon after
