sensation was created at Tus-
kahoma Friday night by what

McCurtain. While in his
room at the hotel, he saw two
Choctaws go to his window,
and suspecting attempted
murder, woke his two light
horsemen and sent them out.
The would be assassins ran
off. He recognized one o.
them. Great excitement pre-

AN ECCENTRIC COUPLE,
Hidden Gold to the Amount
of $1,000 Uuearthed.

90 in gold, which had been
hidden in secluded spots and
which was the accumulation OF
the lifetime of a man who has
passed his four score years
and ten, was found at Mans
field, a little place eighteen
miles southeast from Fort
Worth, near the county line,
yesterday.
The history of the case pre-
sents interesting facts. Be
tween half a century and three
score years ago William Miles
was married and his wife was
called to another world about
a week ago. Her maiden name
can not be today learned, nor
is it possible at this writing to
ascertain the name of the place
where wedlock between these
two lifelong companions was
consummated. But little is
known of their early life, but
sufficient to state that they
came years ago from the land
Of gold near the matchless har-
Dor of the west, the grand mart
on the Pacific, and emigrated
to the state designated by a
lone star. Their energies,
those who know the story OF
their lives say, must have been
similar to their restless dlSpo-
sition and constant labor in
California. They lived and
passed here in this county a
life of quietude. Their home
IN later wears at Mansfield has
been provided with more O
the comforts and pleasures o
life than it was in the earlier
times, but this man of thou
sands whose eccentricitie'
were noticed years ago here
became conspicuously strang,
within the past few weeks, H
aud his wife accumulated tn
fortune, cent by cent. 1t i
said of him that he can neithe
read nor write, but howeve
that may be, he with the al
and assistance of a good loya
helpnate, saved and hoarde
his many dollars with the re
suit that in his declining year.
and when on the threshold {
another life he finds his ittl
fortune made.
The demise OF his lawfl
consort a few days ago cause
the fact of their possession Z
wealth to be known The GOO

MILES CROWLEY OBJECTS.

Washington, March 11.-NIiles
Crowley, The representative of the
Galveston district, feels that he is
getting q little too much renown.
The newspapers are giving him too
much prominence; attach too much
weight to lis sayings ard doings,
and in many instances prevent the
truth simply to keep him in the
public eye. He does not like it, and
says SO frankly, though he puts up
with it like a true philosopher. 1t
may interest many of his acquain
tances in New Orleans, where he
lived for number of years before
migrating to Texas, to hear him
philosophize on the cares and re-
sponsihilities ofstatesmen-the only
excuse which is advanced for print
ing the following interview with
him.
This business. of stateslnanship
has its drawbacks" quoth the Hon
Miles Crowley from Texas, in re-
Elective mood; you're never dead
sure of your game. Take this for a
sample. In the first place I had to
get the nomination, There was q
row, but win out by good luck and
| a heap Of hard work. Then comes

the election, and when | get elected
this man Roscnthal buckles on his
belt and comes to Washington to
unseat me. When [ finally land
here safe and sound, all tho cores
pondents turn on me.
"Some great man has said "Save
me from my Friends" He must
have been a congressman, The
newspaper men all like me, and l
like them. It's love at first sight
They're nearly all my friends, and
there's the trouble. They're always
giving it to me where the chicken
got the ax-all out of dead good
friendship-and can't kick, don't
you see? Tom Reed says the line
between distinction and notoliety
is mighty slender. He is right. Ii
don't win distinction I'm getting a
lot Of notoriety. When the news
paper boys hear a good story, and
they're in doubt about the author
ship, they just saddle it onto me
and let her 60. It's like q game OF
whist with then-when in doubt
play trumps. don't mind it my
self, but every paper down in my
district prints it and the opposition
organs double lead ii, and then
draw moral lesson from it. The
chances are it's used in the Sunday
