There is mighty little horse sense
about me. Maybe that animal instinc-

THOSE scHooNeRs OF OLD.

Those exciting old scenes are but memories
now.
When the pop of the bulwnacker's whip
SHARPLY rang. ere the Wild West had scarce
felt the PROV
OF Progresslon's great oncomlng ship.
and but few now remain Of that dust be-
grimed host
Who had nerve in the dim long ago
To fight and II need be to die at their post
When the schooners rolled out Of St. Joe.
In the dust of the valley great serpentine
trains
Rolled from civilIsation's last gate
And slowly wound onward toward the
great plains
Where the red men were lying in wait.
But every bronzed whacker trudged brave
ly along,
Feeling never a fear Of the foe
Their heavy whips cracked to the voicings
AS the schooners rolled out of St. Joe.
When the sun seemed BAH of raw fire in
When In torrents the rain sheeted down,
When the winds blew the alkali dust in
their eyes.
When the clouds wore threatening frown,
TO the men with the bulls IL was Away
the same,
They'd the duty mark manfu,ly toe,
True philosophers all, they took things as
they came
When the schooners rolled out of ST. Joe.
Those schooners of old are now rottipg
away,
But bones of the cattle remain,
The whackers surviving are wrinkled and
gray.
No more does the wagon boss reign.
The swift-fying trains drawn by monsters
of steam
Row fly Ger the plains to and fro
And the stirring old days we recall as a
dream,
When the schooners rolled out OF St Joe.

AGED WOMAN MURDERED
Drowned Body Found Tied to a
Bush at Laurel, Del.
PEOPLE THOROUGHLY AROUSED


The Latest Victim Is s7-Year-Old Kate
Rigain, Whose Body Was Found In
the River a Mile From the Scene Of
the Collins Murder.
Laurel. Del. April 29.-Still another
tragedy has been committed in this
section. With the community already
in a state of excitement over the Col
Inns affair. an additional crime was
yesterday unearthed. The latest vic
tim is an octogenarian, Mrs. Kate Rig
gin, aged 81 years, OF Bethel. Her
body was found In the Laurel River,
tied to a bush beneath the surface. by
her apron strings. The spot where
the body was discovered is only mile
from the scene of the Collins murder.
The discovery was made by Captain
Bird, of Sharptown, as he was com
ing up the river In his gasoline launch.
1t was at first believed that the aged
woman had committed suicide, but the
fact that her body was fastened to a
submerged bush leads to the theory OF
foul play. State Detectives Francis
and Ratledge were notified of the lat
est crime, and are investigating it.
Mrs. Riggin was well known. and
there is no known reason why she
should have drowned herself. The
several murders In lower Delaware
within the past few weeks have stirred
this section as never before, and IL the
perpetrators are not captured and
punished It is feared that the resi-
dents will seek to take the law into
their own hands.
