Ong had very prominent nose, which
had been the subject OF many joke.
In peeping around the corner OF his
shelter he presented a conspicuous
mark, which was at once taken adyan-
tage Of by the assassin. At the crack
of the gun the tip Of Ong's big nose
flew off, and he at once proceeded to
lower the mile sprinting record several
minutes.
In the force or deputies was man
named McLane, who had, short time
before. ambushed Hildebrandt and
wounded him in the hip. The outlaw
had sworn to avenge this assault, and
waited patiently for McLane to show
himself. He was finally rewarded by
seeing his enemy start to enter the
door Of the adjoining building. Just as
McLane darkened the door rife shot
rang out, and McLane was shot
through the heart. He ran few yards
outside and fell dead. This shot was a
marvellous one, as Hildebrandt had TO
shoot through chink in the wall
where he was. diagonally across a
space OF 20 feet, through another small
hole In the wall Of the opposite house.
An attempt was then made to burn
him out, but failed. When night came
he crawled out between two pickets
and escaped in the darkness. In climb

his wounded hip and fell, for his gun
was found the next morning. The gun

and that il he wishes to go back and

1t is hard to see why he should have
been afraid to stand trial. for trials
were never known to result seriously
in those days. The first time Pat Nc
Laughlin was tried the result was dis
agreement of the jury. The result was
worse than was generally the case, and
old man Mclaughlin was so frightened
by it that he sold half his farm in order
to secure money to defend his SON at
the next trial. Wings were indeed be-
coming gloomy around the big house.
While the second trial was still pend
ing the younger son, John Mclaughlin.
was accused of a serious crime. The
community generally believed him
guilty and sided against him. He had
been clerking in a general merchandise
store, and his employer discharged him.
1t became only question of time when
an encounter should take place between
him and the wronged one. and it would
become necessary for him either to
take life or to lose his own. He COM
mitted suicide.
AS a matter of course, Pat Nc
Laughlin was finally acquitted of the
murder of Driskill. Nobody expected
anything else. Before acQuittal was
obtained. though. his father had to sell
the remaining part of his farm in order
to pay his lawyers. Pat is said to be
living to-day somewhere in the Indian
territory. The father left Spanish
Fort and went-no one knows where.

number of tragic memories is the old
Mclaughlin house. 1t is big, dilapi-
dated-looking hulk that stands back
about hundred yards from the square,
and Is now used as barn In 1873,
when it was built. it was considered
fine house. and even now there is
roominess about ii that suggests better
days. Mclaughlin, VINO built the
house, was wealthy farmer from Col
lin county, who came to Spanish Fort
when it was started because it was in
good agricultural country and gave
promise of developing into good lively
town. With him he brought his wife
two sons, and his only daughter. He
purchased several hundred acres of
land just outside the city limits, and
boosted that no man in Texas was bet
ter fixed for farming or for enjoying
life than he. Then came a series Of
tragedies. First of all, the only daugh-
ter, handsome girl of some 20 sum-
mers fell suddenly Ill and died. Then
the wife followed. Then both the boys
took to drink. One day Pat, the elder,
got into difficulty with Dick Driskill.
the saloon keeper, otherwise known as
Whisky Dick. Mclaughlin stood in the
street in front of the saloon and fired
through the door at his opponent, while
Driskill stood at one side of the door
and poked his head out, shot, and then
sought the protection of the door again.
This was kept up until both men had
emptied their pistols and then Driskill,
being mortally wounded, went into the
back Of the saloon. laid himself down
on the billiard table, and died. One
| may even YET see the marks made by
Pat McLaughlin's bullets on the walls.
AS to the billiard table, there have
been games played on it probably every
day from that time to this, with the
possible exception of few Sundays.
While the shooting was going on
shoemaker named Freeland, who had
| little shop just across the street, de-
termined to take hand in the fight
ing. His only weapon was single
barreled, Misunderstanding pistol. TAX
ing this in his hand, he rushed up be-

only few yards. shot him squareiy
between the shoulders Then, without
waiting to see the result of his shot,
he dropped his weapon and fed. Nc
Laughlin, who happened to be wearing
heavy oyercoat, did not even know
that he had been hit and continued his
main fight as if nothing had happened.
After he had killed Driskill, he took
of his oyercoat, and his friends, on ex-
animation, found that Freeland's bull
let had struck his back hard enough to
leave small bruised spot. but not
hard enough to break the skin When
about mile from town Freeland met
some men and reported that he had
killed Pat Mclaughlin at Spanish Fort.
Then he continued his flight, and from
that day to this no human being is
known to have seen him alive or dead.

ing Red river, or whether he is still

william Mitchell and Lizzie Rogers
Welded After Five Years.
After FIVE years of patient waiting
William Mitchell, an ex-eonvict, weds
Miss Lizzie Rogers, of Lebanon. Ind.
Mitchell was arrested on a charge OF
larceny and incarcerated in the county
Jail to await trial. and it was then that
he first met Miss Rogers, who was act
ing in the capacity of chief cook in that
place. As Mitchell was possessed of a
good education and was attractive, he
soon gained favor with Miss Rogers and
a courtship under difficulties began.
Mitchell was tried and convicted and
sentenced TO seven years imprison-
ment, but by good behavior was liber-
ated in FIVE years. Miss Rogers, how
ever, after spending the greater portion
of her earnings in his behalf, was
daunted not in the least. She continued
TO use every means she had TO procure
his liberty, but without avail. Out Of
her little earnings she would purchase
dainties and send him. Mitchell was
liberated the other day and at once pro-
ceeded to the quiet little cottage of his
betrothed. and at high noon they were
married.

list recently published, in which the
name of the victim was given with the
date and cause of the killing. There
are 2 women among the number, sui
cides, cases of killing with club,
case Of hanging and 80 cases of shoot
ing. There Is no case of lynching re-
ported, and none of judicial hanging
from which one may draw the crafty
ing conclusion that all the killings
were justifiable in the eyes of the law,
and perfectly satisfactory to the COM
munity in general. The liveliest period
in the history of the place seems to
have been in 1874, in which year six
men and one woman were shot and one
man killed with club. 1t should be
understood that in the list referred to,
no disturbance which did not result
fatally is recorded. The most impor-
tant spot in the town, from an historic
standpoint, is one of It's saloons. 1t is
at one corner of the little row of wooden
stores that face the open square. The
old citizens locate fully two-thirds of
the killing accredited to the town by
uciuS tut SdiOOh &c a punt VI lCtCi
ence. Just at the back door is where
Bob Lacey was killed. There, in the
sand. just before the front door. is
where Bob Parnell and three Stead
ham brothers lay dead when they were
shot one afternoon in 1879. Just under
the horse rack is where Dick Goss
escaped negro convict, lay after he was
shot, and gasped out:
Boys, I'd rather be lying here dying
than in charge of the officers on my
way to the pen"
Just inside the saloon you see where
several bullets struck the door when
they were shot at Dick Driskill, a
former proprietor of the place. In the
rear end you may still see the billiard
table on which Dick laid himself down
