OF A COIN.

United States Deputy Marsha
Alex Bernstein about two weeks
ago had occasion to 60 to New
Iberia on official business. While
there he bought a railroad ticket tc
Abbeyille and received in change a
fifty cent coin inscribed "W. B
Tarleton, Eminence, Ind" 4 species
of romantic sentiment flashed into
the MUD of the genial deputy and
be concluded to write a letter di.
rected to the name and town thus
inscribed and learn something of the
history of the wanderer. !.
Within the past few days Mr..
Bernstein received a reply to his
letter from Mr.. Tarleton, from Mar
tinsville, Ind, with a copy of the
Daily Reporter. Mr.. Tarleton ask
ed for the return of the coin which
was sent last Monday. The Re.
porter gives its history:
Eighteen years ago ". B. Tar
Teton was a druggist at EmineDce.
At that time Anderson Gum, father
Of Robert and Ed Gum, of this city,
was postmaster. Mr.. Gum inscrib-
ed Mr.. Tarleton's name on a SO cent
silver coin. Since that time the
coin has been a waif 10 the world
and has bought bread for the widow
feul for the baker and beer for The
sports eIt has been piled up in bank
vaults with the millions. ENJOYING
the society Of the best circles. 1t
has also been lonely in many homes
and parted from reluctantly. It
was much more valuable and prec-
ious in the eyes Of the poor man
thanlin the eyes of the rich man. It's
intrinsic value was a letter of intro
duction to all classes of society from
the first families down.
"Mr. Tarleton received a letter
from A. Fl. Bernstein, of Shreveport,
La, in which the writer SAYS he has
the coin. Mr.. T%arleton had never
heard from the wanderer since it
passed from his hands in Eminence
into the channels of traffic at that
place, over eighteen years ago. Mr..
Gum, the postmaster, has been dead
sixteen or eighteen years. MI. Tar
Teton had forgotten abou: the coin
until the reception Of the letter this
morning. He has written Mr.. Bern
stein to forward it to this city,
Shreveport Times.

John Howard of Wichita Falls. Writes
Hon. Henry NJ. Furman, on the
Territory Situation.

Hon. Henry M. Furman, today
handed the AR0MoREITE the letter
appearing below, also three photo
graphs, one each of Frank Dorsey,
the murdered cashier of the Wichita
Falls bank and the two men who
murdered him. The letter is without
comment, as follows:
WICHITA FALLS, Ten. lar. -.
Hon. Henry Furman, ArGmOre, l. I.
Dear Sir-Please note the attached,
also the enclosed photographs. We
note with pleasure and interest your
interview published in Dallas News
of the 23rd inst.
The citizens of this county are do
ing all in their power to form public
opinion in favor of the settlement of
that country by civilized people.
The people and press of the coun-
try can, if they will, change the con-
dition of affairs in that section. We
have of course a great deal to con-
tend with, but once we get the peo-
pie aroused to the importance of
prompt action we will secure results.
Congressman Culberson, is to a
large extent responsible for the pres
ent condition of affairs in the terito-
ry. He can give us relief from the
cut throats, robbers and murderers,
if he will withdraw his opposition
and if he don't do this he should be
held responsible by the public, for
any future crimes committed by the
outlaws on the law abiding citizens
of the country bordering on the ter
ritory. If this fact is kept before the
people, we can force Mr.. CulbersOn
to work in the interest of the people
instead of catering to the interest Of
few boarding houses and saloons.
We can also defeat his son for gov
ernor of Texas If he (the govcr3crl j
don't come out and take as much in
terest Tor more) in this territory
business as he did in knocking out
the prize fighters. He can ofer no
excuse for not using his power and
influence in behalf of the people on
this question.
