BIG SIX.

To the DAILY LIGHT:
Under the above catching head,
the first question that comes is:
Do the offices of the three men,
bers Of the legislature, district
Judges, district clerk, district at
torney, sheriff, assessor, collector Of
taxes, county judge, county attor-
ney, treasurer, county surveyor,
hide and animal inspector, county
commissioners, justices of the
peace and constable OF Bexar coun-
ty, belong to a certain six men call
ing themselves boastingly, "The
Big Six" or do said offices belong
to the voters of Bexar county?
II these offices are the property
OF the said "Big Six,"as they claim,
then the once free people of Bexsr
county are slaves; and If they fail
to arise in their power and hurl
from their places these blood-suck-
ing office leeches, and take back
their lost rights, then they are the
veriest towards, and deserve to be
slaves; and that is an end of the
matter.
Now for the issue: Who owns
the above offices, the "Bix Six" or
the people OF Bexar county? All
these offices are personal property
and worth 100000 annually. What
is the evidence Of ownership of
these offices? OF course, the pos
session; therefore the said "Big
Six" own all the offices and the
&iu hot only own these offices

"There has been a murder at No
Olive Street." said the city editor
one night to him. "Coleman
has all that he can do. Get back
with the story as soon as you
can"
"The man finished the para.
graph that he was writing, and
then set out after the story.
"When the reporter entered the
room a detective was leaving
The newspaper man got some
meagre details from the officer,
and then visited the room where
the crime had been committed
1t was hard work getting any in
formation from the inmates, but
the scene in the room gave
enough details for this reporter
to make thrilling story. He ex.
amined the wounds on the dead
mans head, mentally noted the
undisturbed position of the corpse,
looked through the deck Of cards
that lay on the table as they had
been dealt out, and returned to
the office.

there lived a man who had a wife and
daughter. He seemed prosperous and his
credit was good for anything he desired.
One fine starlight night he disappeared,
taking with him nearly everything that
wasn't nailed down. He had made about
every man in town creditor, and when be
went away the people betook themselves
lit outer darkness for a while and walled
and gnashed their teeth.
The wife and daughter were treated the
same as the rest. They found themselves
destitute. The fiend in human form who
mad so long olhciated- as husband and
father had left them not a dollar. The
locked coldly upon for while, as people
believed them to be in collision with the
departed. But they were not depressed by
this. They went manfully to work like
heroines in a play; the mother did sewing
and the daughter did whatever she could
get to do They prospered as they deserved
TO prosper. The older heroine in time es-
tablished a millinery store, which captured
all the trade. while the younger became
principal of the schools. They had money
in the bank and could eat ice cream when
ever they wanted to.
The other day a Seedy tramp called at
the back door of the lady's residence and
asked for a drink and something to eat.
The good woman looked at him intently
and recognized her husband. And now the
really beautiful part of this story comes in.
Did the lady kill the fatted calf for the
rrodigal and bid him welcome and forget
the past? Not to any great extent.
She called the family dog, a large crea-
ture, with penchant for human remains,
and no man ever climbed tree quicker
than did the erring husband.

VAL ABLE SUGGESTIONS

The publication of the various routes to
outlying points for the benefit of wheel
men, ard the detailed description of the
roads. in The Star. has proven to be i'm
meDsely popular with a majority OF cyclists
in this city of both sexes. The object was
lot much to encourage road riding as it
was to enlighten the general riding public on
the condition of the various highways and
thus enlarge their riding territory and give
room for additional exercise.
Since the publication of these articles a
number of suggestions have been received
There are many people who ride bicycles,
but whose time to devote to this pleasant
pastime is limited. Consequently they are
unable to avail themselves of an all-day
trip, and have to be content with riding
arourd the city and in the outskirts. From
this class of people number of requests
have come for a description of short rides,
which can be made in a half day,
or shorter trips, which would afford the
means of spending few pleasant hours on
summer evenings. For the benefit of this
class and for the edificato of all cyclists
series of articles will be published. TAX

WILD HORSE JERRY.
An Interesting Western Character
Who Defied II Storm on the Plains.

From the Buffalo Express
1.-The most interesting character 1 ever
knew I met last summer in Greeley, Weld
county, COL" said w. C. Boerner of Den
yer. He has caught more wild horses in
his day than any other man living. His
real name is jeremiah Smith, but every
body around Greeley knows him Wild
Horse Jerry. He has a little ranch down
on the banks of the Platte about ten miles
east of the town, and it was there that l
met him. I was riding from Lovelands to
Sterling. 1 stopped at Jerry's house for
the night, and that evening" before we
turned into bed, he told me something
about his experiences. He Is quite an old
man now. but he is still very active and
can ride 100 miles in a day easily enough.
1T was over thirty years ago that he
started out as wild horse catcher. Since
that time he has caught over 1000 horses,
and he has broken every one of them to the
saddle. He has ridden for three days and
nights steadily after some particularly
wary band Of horses, stopping only to
change horses. 1t takes a man with an iron
constitution to do that, and he is one of the
most powerful men in the country. He is
under medium height. but the muscles
stand out all over his body.
Once, he told me, he was far out on the
plains in midwinter with a young German.
They We're miles away from any ranch,
when they were caught in a snow storm.
The only thing TO do when a storm like
that strikes you way out on the plains and
the thermometer is way down below zero,
is to roll yourself in your blankets and lie
down and wait until the storm is over. and
the weather gets warmer. That is what
they did. The snow piled up over them and
kept them warm. but they knew 1t wound
be as much as their lives We're worth to
get up and try to continue their journey.
The snow came down 40 thick and fast
that they couldn't see foot ahead Of
them. They couldn't see their horses, they
couldn't each other Jerry held MS
hand out before his face but the snow hid
1t from his sight. He had TO hold 1t close
to his eyes before he could see IT. Hour
after hour passed Wy and the storm s,lll
kept on. Finally, after they had lain there
six hours. the German said he was going %
run the risk Of getting up and looking
about He thought he might lie able to
find ranch house somewhere near.
I'm spite Of Jerry's remonstrances the
man started off. Jerry lay there all through
the day and night. and in the morning the
storm passed away. But the German had
not returned. Jerry started out to look for
him. and only a few rods from where he
had been lying he found his dead body.
The wind had been blowing such IA gale
that even II he had called for help Jerry
would not have heard him.

ment. The roads are fairly attended to
from cyclists point of view. 1t can be
said that none of the public roads in the
District are unreliable. and this means a
good deal when fully considered.
1t will be noticed that in the map there
are a number of roads unnamed but mark
ed with an y. These are private wagon
ways, some of which have been extended
from road to road for convenience. For
wagons they, as a rule, make poor routes,
and, as rule, for cycling they are in
fnitely worse.
