E1drrewin9 Tale Of Tragedy
on the Frontier of Texas

the tree. She could see a bunch of
peccaries fighting over the bones of
her husband. while others were gnash-
ing their bloody tusks and tearing tho
bark from the trunk of the mesquite.
She pressed her babe to her breast
and renewed her cries for help. She
had shouted and screamed until her
voice could hardly rise above a whis-
per- Her feeble cries only served to
savage beasts thirstlng for her blood.
Her appeals for aid only helped to
swell the number of her foes.
Hour after hour passed and the fury
of her tormentors did not abate. Her
limbs were growing weak and her
throat was burning from thirst. More
than once her baby nearly slipped
from her grasp. If it had fallen
amongst those mad beasts she would
certainly have followed it. With true
motherly devotion she resolved to save
her child, though she might perish.
Summoning all her strength, she
quickly tore her dress to shreds, and
after wrapping the babe in one of her
skirts, she swung it between the sway
ing boughs of the tree. She bound the
babe so securely that it would have
remained in the tree though rocked by
storm.
What happened to the mother?
Either one of two things.
She may have tainted or she may
have grown so weak that she could
not maintain her hold upon the boughs
of the tree

They retired to the shade of a mes
quite, and from the evidence that was
before them these practiced plainsmen
read all the horrible details OF one Of
the most narrowing tragedies that ever
occurred on the frontier of Texas.
The cowboys of Texas know the
Mexican peccary or wild hog. He is
a s,-zall lean razor back. bristling with
rage and fury from the moment of his
birth in some dark cavern until he is
filled with lead or cut to shreds. His
head is large and his ponderous jaws
are literally full of long, sharp tusks-
Some of them are curved, and with
these he can make a frightful noise
and cut off a mans leg or slash a dog
into two pieces at single snap. He
is a living allegory of courage, audac-
ity and rage. Every inch of his little
body is full of pugnacity and the devil.
AT any and all hours he is ready to
6ght anything from a rattlesnake to an
elephant Whenever his wicked little
eyes fall upon an object that moves
he charges it, whether it is mouse,
man or tiger Not satisfied with kill
ing, he tears the body of his prey to
shreds, snaps his tusks. covered with
blood and foam, over the bones, and
then brushes them to splinters.
The cowboys looked at the white
skeletons. The bones were yet wet
with blood and SCARED with the marks
OF tusks. They read that a man and
a mother with one little babe had
stopped under the mosquitoes on the
previous day to rest and make coffee.

A cowboy who was riding through
the chaparral not far from the Rio
Grande, in Zapata county, Tex, heard
the cry of an infant.
Rather astonished he halted and lis
tened with interest. Only few mo-
ments passed before the cry fell upon
his ears again with such distinctDess
that he felt confident of being able
to locate the direction of the sound
He rode under the trees and to his
surprise there was not man or wom-
an to be seen. He noticed some
charred sticks and tin cans, and fear
ing that the bandits had fed and were
watching him from ambush he was
about to pull his pony back into the
thicket when he was startled by
loud Shrek that appeared to have
come from the skies.
Il could hear my heart beating" he
says, "and | hardly dared to look up,
for fully expected to see nothing less
than a mother with babe in Der arm
flying through the air above the tree
tops Before he could push back his
sombrero another tender appeal greet
ed his ears, and the next moment the
surprised cowboy was looking at lit
tie babe suspended between the top
most boughs of large mesquite tree.
The cowboy suspected that great
crime had been committed by some
inhuman monster AS he stood Up in
his saddle and stepped into the forks
had the cowardly wretch or cruel
mother by the throat who tied this

poor thing up here and left it to die
of thirst in the hot sun and be de-
voured by buzzards.
While the cowboy was in the treetop
his curious performance in connection
with small bundle had been noticed
by a comrade who was riding the
range a short distance away, and he
rode straight to the mesquite grove.
The cowboys stripped the little suf-
ferer naked. and after bathing it with
water from their canteens. they poured
a few drops down its throat. 1t was
evidently tired and sore, and the mo-
ment that it felt cool and comfortable
it fell asleep in Swingers arms.
Conors suddenly sprang to his feet,
exclaiming, What is that lying over
there?" Walking to the object he
glanced over 1t and then turned to-
wards his friend with a grave face.
1.-THE devil has been to pay here,
Swinger," he said. This is a skele-
ton" He had hardly finished speak
ing before he saw another heap of
white bones. Then for the firss time
the cowboys noticed that the earth
was torn up, and upon closer examina-
ton they soon discovered fragments
of flesh, clots of blood and shreds of
clothing.
Both men were now closely scrutin-
izing the ground. One found a broken
gun and the other discovered the
tracks Of Mexican hogs.

She may have gone to death more
horrible than any ancient martyr ever
suffered, moved by a heroic resolve.
Looking down upon the swarm of hun
CRY peccaries gnawing at the trunk
of the tree, may it not have occurred
to this tortured mother: Perhaps if
should give them my body my flesh
and blood would appease their hunger
and they would go away and spare my
darling" The heroic mother, with
Spartan courage may have deliberate
ly thrown herself into the jaws of the
merciless beasts, hoping to save her
babe.
The cowboys thought of all of this
while they were examining the deep
ring cut about the trunk of the tree
by the sharp tusks OF the lireless pee
carries.
The mystery remains to be solved.
The cowboys took the little baby boy
to the home of good woman who is
childless, and they said to her: Here
is a little kid we found out in the
chaparral. We want you to raise him
for us. Whenever you want any stuff
call on us and we will put up. Here is
two twenties for starters. Call him
Mesquite. His mother was graded
stock, sure. We want to make a con-
gresham out of him."

They were doubtless familiar with the
country and it is now known that they
were travelling on horseback, for two
ponies were found in the vicinity Of
the battle-ground some days later.
The man and woman were suddenly
attacked by proving band of pee
carries. The man helped his wife and
baby into the forks of the tree, and
doubtless would have joined them If
he had not been prevented by some
thing that is not written upon the bat
tlefeld. He may have stumbled, or
he may have had to take few steps
to reach his gun. He may have been
dragged down by the tusks of hun
dred hungry grunting beasts. At any
rate, he fought on foot. His gun was
empty and the barrel had been bent.
Did the mother sit in the tree and see
her husband fall? Did she see the lit
tie furies swarm over his body, snap
ping their tusks and tearing his flesh
to shreds? Did she see some of them
crushing his bones, while others
gnawed at the bark of the tree in
which she sat pressing her babe to her
breast? She must have seen all Of
that and more. Is there not here a
study for an artist? Who can depict
the mothers face or tell her emotions?
Night came on.
The mother felt herself growing
weak from terror and the exertion
necessary to maintain her position in

In an orchard, was flooded with three
