A STRANGE CASE.
How an Enemy was Fooled.

the numb creepy sensatlonth hat exl listed in my
arms, hands and legs. Ihndto rub and beat
those parts until they were sore, toovercome
in u measure the dead feeling that hadtaken
possession Of them. In addition. l had
strange weakness in my back and around my
waist, together with an indescribable gone
feeling in my stomach. Physicians SAID u
was creeping paralysis, from. which, accord
ing to- their universal conclusion, there Is no
relief. Once II tastens upon person. they
say, 1t continues its insidlous progress until
1t rcachesa vital point and the sufferer dies.
Such was my prospect. hhadbeen, doctorlnB

and there has not been even the slightest
Indication of its return. l now feel as

A Striking Example CT
what Energy and In
dustry can Ac-
Complish.

y. j. kopecky was born IN Aus
tria in 1910, and came to America
in 1878. While crossing the ocean
his vessal was wrecked and every
dollar he had in the world was swal-
lowed Iup in the ocean. In the
midst of hurricane the vessel was
driven on the rocks and but for
passing vessel coming to the aid of
passengers and crew, all on board
would have been lost. The ship
that picked them up was bound for
Galveston, and there, late in the
fall Mr.. Kopecky landed penniless,
and started out to seek his fortune.
During the months of November
and December, 1878, he worked on
a farm near Sweet Home, this
county, and received in payment
therefor, 4 mare. In 1874, he rails
ed a crop on the halves, and with
the proceeds bought tract of raw
land. Late in the season of "a, he
moved out on the prairie, south of
where the city of Sinner now stands,
and started to se-keeping in a
house without floor and furnished
in the rudest manner. His life
from that on was marked by pa
tient industry and rigid economy,
and he was able year by year to add
to his landed possessions until to-
day he is one of the wealthiest land
owners in the county. In 1856
he built near where the Kopecky
school house now stands, and liv-
ed there until 1890, when he erect
ed n house on his land just south
of Sinner, and removed there in
order to be convenient to the Shin
er schools. His farm south of
Sinner, consists of 800 acres of fine
cotton land and is occupied and
titled by eleven renters. This land
is probably the finest in Texas,and
is unsurpassed for fertility and
richness of soil. Besides this, Mr..
Kopecky owns tract of timber
land near Nickel, Gonzales county,
and has other landed possessions
in other parts of the county and
sSate. He has had eleven children
Of whom eight are still living; five
daughters and three sons. His
eldest son, Joe, is spoken of as one
Of the foremost scholars in the
Sinner schools. A. j. Kopeciy is
a prominent member of the Cath
olic church, and is held in high re.
gard AID esteem by all who know
him. The Kopecky school house,
situated about three or four miles
southwest of Sinner, is presided
over this winter by Miss Annie
Strauss.
There is honor in a man start
ing out without dollar in the
world and steadily and presstantly
sighting his way up towards the
zap Of the ladder If he has good
purpose in view and fights for the
right. he will succeed in the end, it
does not matter how heavy the
odds may be against him,
In the course Of conversation
Mr. Kopecky said to the GAZETTE

The hold-up on the International
and Great Northern a few nights
ago was one of the boldest that has
taken place in the south for some
time. The cause of these robberies
is hard to find. Almost invaribly
swift retribution overtakes bandits
and not one in ten escapes capture,
yet hardly week passes without
the press chronicling an attack on
o. train some where in the west or
south. If the reports given are
true, the robbers seldom secure
large sums.of money. and m the
fact that capture and punishment
is almost certain, it seems strange
that men should be so fool hardy.
Trair. robbery should be made a
capitol offence, and such men as
those who held up the l, IL G.. N.
Express the other night should be
made a terrible example Of The
shooting of the fireman was wanton
and no punishment is adequate of
the crime.
