BEE MOUNTAIN.
4 Crevasse Filled with Honey and Occu.
pied by Snakes.

pied by Snakes.
About 20 miles from Cleburne on the
Brazos river Is Bee mountain. On one
side it rises several hundred feet above the
country around and the other fronts the
river and rises perpendicularly for 500 feet,
On the perpendicular side are several
crevasscs or caves, in which places are mil
lions Of bees and tons upon tons of honeJ.
II Is impossible to scale the dizzy heights
fropi below although the rocks are worn
ont places that look a. if steps had been
made to climb this mountain ages and ages
ago, and it is believed by some that abort
gines scaled this cliff TO procure honey fof
their primitive meals
Within tho memory of man, however,
parties have been daring enough TO have
themselves suspended with a rope and let
down TO where the bees enter the rocky
bluff, and the tales they told of the vast
amount of honey would sound like
story from the arabian Nights.
One man, n cowboy, who worked on tho
old Abe Wilson ranch, which was quite
fasnous here i'm an early day. had the
tomcrity 10 have some of his colaborcrs let
him down with rope. Where the bees
entered, he said, tho crcvasscs wcro not
large enough for man to enter but lit
tle south of that point was hole about A
feet high and or 10 feet wide. which he
entered. What he saw simply struck him
dumb with amazcmcnt. There hanging
from the top Of the cave which seemed to
extend for "a quarter of a mile back. were
great combs of honey 20 or 30 feet long and
from to feet wide. They looked like
great lot Of fine silk lace curtains hanging
in some grand old hallway. The hum
ming of tho bees sounded like the mise of
many spindlcs in q great factory. He
had hunting knife with him and sliced
of piece OF the honey and ate it, and was
just about 10 slice of moro To bring To-
his companions on the mountain above,
who were waiting To pull him up, when
his attention was drawn To another direc-
ton. On listening closely he detected n
Kissing sound and one unlike that made
by the bees Presently. from the dircc-
tlon from whence the sound proceeded. he
saw at least 100 serpcnts coming toward
him. their little bcadlike eyes shining in
tho glare of the torch he carried. To uSc
n street phrase. hc "torc out" leaving his
hunting knife and this klondike of honey
behind.
When his friends had pulled him up, he
had tainted from the fright When he re-
covered, hc told them what he had seen.
~ irst they laughed at him, but finally
IL became an accepted fact that In Bee
mountain there are tons OF honey. but no
one since that time has ever been re- klrss
enough 10 vor turc in that cave, where not

Nj. Slows Statement.

The statement of Mr.. Alexander Stow
before the school board of this city, on
Thursday afternoon, regarding the
agreement entered into when the school
districts were united, was Il strong, and
we may say the strongest and most
forcc.ul argument made against the con-
sOlidatiOn. MIR. Stow said in substance
that III his opinion it was impossible for
the board to consolidate the schools
without breaking the agreement, which
was entered into by such men as James
Bardon, II. II. Grace, Judge Roberts,
Col. Hayes, and one or two others as
we'll as himself This agreement was,
that if the districts were consolidated,
both schools should be maintained until
such time as a central high school could
be erected at Il point which is designated

avenue. Mr.. Stow also states that this
agreement Is as binding by the sense Of
honor as though 1t had been written

times, and every fair minded person

without cuumcrating the many other
facts Of expense hirh none Of the pa
