THE TEXAS RANGERS.
Colonel Grip, Ford's Story of One OF
Their Indian Fights.

'sWhat was the most deperate fight you
can remember, colonel" The question
was addressed to Colonel 'Rip'' Ford of
the old time Texas rangers. The colonel-a
very old man, with wealth of snow white
hair and beard-hesitated for the question
asked for quality, not quantity. After
much study he told the story of a fight
which occurred in 1851, and Frederic
Remington repeats it in his "Crooked
Trails"
MY lieutenant, Ed Burleson, was or
dered to carry to San Antonio an Indian
prisoner we had taken. On his return,
while nearing the Nueces river, he espied
two Indians. Taking seven men, he or
6erc4 the rest to continue along the road.
The two Indians proved to be IA, and they
charged Burleson up to the teeth. Dis
mounting his men, he poured it into them
from his Colts six shooting rifles. All
but two of the Indians were killed or
wounded, some of them dying so near the
rang gers that they could put their hands
on their boots.
ssAll but one Of Burleson's men were
wounded-himself shot in the head with
an arrow. One man had four 'dogwood
switches (arrowsl in his body, one OF
which was in his bowels. This man told
me that every time he raised his gun to
fire the Indians would stick an arrow into
him, but he said he didn't care a cent
One Indian was lying right up close, and
while dying tried to shoot an arrow, but
his strength failed so fast that the arrow
barely left the bowstring.
lone of the rangers in that fight was
curious fellow When young, he had been
captured by Indians and had lived with
them SO long that he had acquired Indian
habits. In that fight ne kept jumping
around while loading so as to be a bad
target, the same as an Indian would un-
der the circumstances, and he told Bur-
Lesson he wished he had his boots off, SO he
could get around good.
Here the colonel paused quizzieeelsy.S
"Would you call that good fight?" he
asked.

(Bangor Commercial. J

By the opinion of the Maine law court
the Wateryille city hall case, in many
ways the most important action at law
of its kind ever tried in this state, has
been settled.
The court has ruled against the con.
tract between the City nall commission
and NJ. C. Foster & Son, and declares
the instrument null, void and illegal.
Chas. F. Sweet, clerk to the eastern
law district in Bangor, has received the
reseript of the opinion, and it this docu.
ment is printed below.
STORY OF THE CASE
This case of Reynolds ct ais. VS.. The
City of Watervilie, is of unsurpassed i'm
portance in the history of Maine law; II
comprehends the great question OF the
debt limit of cities and what it implies,
which has so agitated Bangor in past
years.
On the first day of February, 1897.
Waterville was in debt more than the con-
stitutlonaI allowance. 1--we per cent. OF
its valuation.
On June 3. 1896, the city council OF
Waleryille voted to create special com.
mission, for the erection of city hall
building. This commission was vested
with the usual powerJ, having authority
to advertise for plans and bids, and. BY
several later votes by the city council,
duly 90 and Aug. Z. 1885, to close con-
tract for sum not exceeding s75,o
| By the vote of Aug. Z, 1895, only $24s DOC
was to be spent that year.
The CONN ission ccordingly caused the
purchase of suitable lot of land in
WatervilIe, and had it prepared for the
beginning of work on such building as
was contemplated. Plans were bought
and, on Feb. s, 1857, M. @. Foster q
Son, Of Water ville. closed contract with
the commission for the erection of the
building for the sum of 1863. 800, the build
ing to be CONF leted before Jan. l, 1898.
The city agreed to pay this sum on the
completion of the building.
The payments were to be made monthly
before tins tenth of the month. len per
cent. was to be retained by the city be.
lore the final payment
The plans were amended on April s,
1897. and the cost of the building was re-
duced to SOL, 757.
The City Hall commission was incor-
porated by the legislature of 1891, and
was authorized to issue bonds to the sum
of S75, 600. These bonds were to be -four
per cents, 20 and 80 years.
1t was also planned that the city should
lease the building of the commission fol
fifty years at an annual rental of $4,000.
NJ C. Foster & Son began work on the
building under thu plans. The founda-
tion was made and lot of the granite
was put on the ground when labors were
stopped. Perhaps $751; 900 worth of work
was done.-or less.

THIS MAY END 1T.

This will probably end the matter. NJ.
G. Foster of the contractors, was not at
home on Tuesday, hav ing passed through
Bangor on his way east in the forenoon
of that day. 1t is believed that he exc
cuted something like $40. 600 on his con-
tract.
"The city will REIN burse the contrac.
tors, = said prominent Wateryille citizen
who was in Bangor Tuesday. ssWater-
willie win never allow that blot to go on
her record. suppose special appropria-
ton will have to be made by the council,
but I guess there will be no trouble about
it as soon as the contractor finds out and
certifies to his costs.
Others believe that the city will refuse
to shoulder the burden. At any rate, this
is between the contractors and the city.
