A Long Walk.

In old Barney's saloon Saturday
a number of gentlemen were seated
around a table having a social chat
and the conversation turning on
walking, Bill Lueke said he once
walked from Evergreen school
house to Moulton in one hour and
ten minutes. THAT'S pretty good"
said Mr.. Lockman, "but 1 once beat
that. l and Charlie Gaedke and a
young man named Daniels walked
from Yoakum to Moulton."
Tell us about it" said three or
four, and thus encouraged Mr..
Lockman told the following:
ut was in the month of March,
1888, and it had been raining until
the country was almost impossible.
The Arans2s Pass railroad was in a
bad state apd had a big wreck up
the road towards Waco and trains
had quit running. had been to
Halletsville and was on my way
home. When [ got to Yoakum |
met Charlie Gaedke and Daniels.
both wanted to go to Moulton and
asked me what we had better do.
There would be no trains for several
days and we could not get buggy
as the roads were impossible. So
| said, well, boys, | guess we will
have to hoof it, This wasn't a
very pleasant prospect as it was
twenty-five miles TO Moulton and
awful muddy. However, we struck
out without any more words. The
walk to Sinner was not so bad as
we expected as we were fresh. We
walked into Alf Kubitz's saloon
and took a little refreshment and
as it was getting late we concluded
to stay all night and inquired of
Kubita where we could stop. He
pointed out the Kneisler hotel, the
only hotel in town and we made for
it. We walked into the Office and
l asked If we could stay all night.
Kneisler looked us over, sized up
our muddy feet and muddy clothes
and also took note that none OF us
carried any baggage. 'Weli' he
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1897-11-03

said, / guess you can stay all night
but ] make it u rule for guests with
out baggage to pay in advance
'All right I says, that's satisfac-
tory At this moment Henry
Yeager and q gentleman named
Sneider of Galveston, walked into
the room and seeing me exclaimed,
why, how do you do, Mr.. Lock
man, what are you doing here?
'On the tramp l says. On hearing
this Kneisler declined to allow us
to pay in advance. He explained
to us that he had been shamefully
imposed upon by people going off
without paying their board hence
his rule about paying in advance.
Everything now being fixed pleas
antly for all we all went into sup
per. The next morning we all got
ready for our trip to Moulton.
After taking some stimulants we
struck out. Our feet were sore and
the walking was horrible. The
track had about sank out of sight
and the COW catchers on the trains
plowed smooth surface along on
the mud. We had to walk in the
prairie most of the way but arrived
in Moulton all right but mighty
sore and muddy"

A Scoundrel.

The man, A. w. Willis, whose
horse was stolen by Robert Hamil-
ton last week, left town without
paying his board bill or paying
B. II. Cordes for taking care of his
horse and recovering it when it was
stolen. Mr.. Cordes spent about SIG
in telephoning around over the
country, pursued the thief all the

MOULTON.
A SENSATION.
An Inoendiary in Moulton,
Joe MaCha the Victim.

Joe Macha of Moulton got off Of
the train here yesterday and re-
ported an attempt to burn him out
yesterday morning. The GAEErTES
representative in Moulton sends us
tie following excellent account;
Monday night between 8 and
O'clock Are was discovered by II.
Bultmeyer, our night Waterman,
as he was coming from his house,
| in Joe Macha's dancing hall, next
! to the door which enters into his
saloon. Mr.. Bultmeyer at once
gave alarm by several shots and
run to Jacob Tomasko, and with
his help got several buckets o;
water and put out the fire which
by this time had good start and
had Just reached the roof.
I 1t was evidently the work of an
incendlary-set on fire by some
unknown fiend, probably the same
who dried some time ago to take
Joe Macha's life by shooting at him
| through the window.
! At about . o'clock the night
Waterman saw some one near the
saloon, but did not notice any
thing more suspicious, went home
to get cup of coffee and soon re-
turned when lie noticed the fire,
which was lucky, for he could not
have seen the fire from any other
direction, except from the way he
came. 1t had already burnt II hole
through the floor and the wall and
a four by four stander nearly in
two. Several pine chips which
were probably soaked with oil, and
had therefor escaped total destruc-
ton, were found after the fire MAS
put out. The outlaw must have
made his way through the window
which stood open.
Mr.. Joe Macha says he will either
rent or sell out if he can't do bust
ness without the risk OF his life and
property.

pairing of opening it any other

bination and soon had the safe
open, AS the safe was worth $75
