ALABAMA LADIN TEXAS
GRITTY BOY MAKING HIS WAY
 BACK HCM ME.
Robbed in Laredo, He Rode His Pony All the Way from That
 Place to Houston.

A special to The Galveston News from Houston. Texas. under date of March IS, says:
 There was a great deal of stir and in- terest manifested to-day when Harry Compton of Montgomery, Ala, aged F years. en route from Laredo, Tex. to his Alabama home on a jaded little pony, ar- rived in Houston this morning with his horse dropping and almost worn to death. The boy was tired, too. but he was more concerned about his pony than himself and to add to his cares. he was penniless
 He wanted to relieve his horse of any further hardship, and the only solution of the matter was to send the animal to Montgomery by freight.
 Harry located the office of Assistant General Freight Agent Christiansen of the Southern Pacific and made known his situation. He was without cent, he said. and wanted to get back home. He wanted to ship his pony on a credit. and asked how 1t could be done.
 The boy was attired in a neat suit of black worsted, black woolen sweater and automobile cap. He presented an excel lent appearance, was neat and clean and his conversation was clean and correct. He showed that he had been over the country and was an experienced traveller, but not very experienced when 1t came to shipping freight.
 Mir. Christiansen was attracted to the boy and asked him a few questions, which were readily answered. The boy seemed very anxious to solve the pro- blem of getting his pony rested.
 He said he was the son of G. A. Comp ton. a travelling man living in Mont gomery. that his mother was dead, and his father away from home most of the time A couple of months ago, Harry left home supplied with all necessary money to make a visit to relatives in San Antonio. About February 9 his San Antonio hosts moved to Denver, or rath- CT went to Denver on account of the death of a relative. and Harry was left to go back to Montgomery.
 The glittering posters of the Washing tons Birthday celebration at Laredo caught his eye and inspired him with a desire to see genuine Mexican bull fight Accordingly, instead of going back to Montgomery direct, he went to Lare- do to see the bull fight and enjoyed the climate there so much that he conclud- ed to prolong his visit. He had about s75 with him. and as pony riding wac the main Pastime there, he picked out a fat. sleek little Mexican pony and pur- chased him.
 Shortly after he purchased the pony it became known that he was an unpro- tected lad with considerable money, and one fine evening he was held up and robbed by some of the epterprising Mex ican bandits He was thus left without A cent and nothing except his pony.
 He tried to reach his father for more money. but his parent was out on a trip and could not be located. The boy ac- cordngly made up his mind that he would ride his pony clear from Laredo to

Montgomery. Ala, a distance of nearly

Montgomery, Ala, a distance of nearly 1000 miles.
 He started out from Laredo ten days ago and has made on an average about fifty miles per day over terrible roads ever since. His trip was solitary for the greater part of the time, but occasionally he fell in with a companion and got along very nicely.
 He stopped at various places en route asking TOT food and shelter for himself and horse, promising to send back the money as soon as he should reach home. He was warmly welcomed everywhere, every one being captivated with such a display of grit.
 When he nnished his story to MT. Christiansen and a party of freight and passenger representatives this morning. it was suggested that he sell his pony and get a job in Houston.
 The Southern Pacific would like to have a boy like you to work for them, " said Mir Christiansen. Sell your pony. get a job here and wait until you can hear from your father"
 But the boy would not listen to selling his pony. He would rather do anything else, he said, than to sell him, and he proposed to get that pony back to Mont gomery if he had to work all the rest of his life to pay the. costs. His affection for the jaded animal hitched in front of the office with It's head between it's legs. was exceedingly refreshing. and every DUuy liked the boy better.
 Harry didn't ask a favor from any one except what he promised to pay for. He would not part from his horse. and when Mir. Christiansen invited him home with him to dinner. he blushed, his eyes got moist and he said he wasn't dressed to go out to dinner.
 Asked If he knew any one in this part of the State. he said he knew a party ir Galveston. He asked the distance to thai point, but was told that he could only get there on the train.
 T can't so on the train" he said, "fol I haven't any money"
 Don't you worry, my boy" said Mir Christiansen, wen take care of you ana your pony, too, and give you a trip tC Galveston. and you'll get through al right. If you want to stay here, wei get you job and you can wait unti you hear from your father"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-03-23

One of the party went out and arran8- ed that the boys horse should be cared for free of charge by a local livery sta ble. MT. ChTistiansen told him to Eef ready for dinner with him, and he would secure him a ticket to visit his friend tFa Galveston. The boy wanted 1t distinctly understood that he was to pay for all these courtesies when he got back hoEaes but Mir. Christiansen assured him that ha was his guest and no pay would be re- ceived.

 Friends of W. O. H. Shepard will re- gret to learn that, after a service of nineteen years in the freight department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, his resignation has boen handed in to take effect at once. Mir. Shepard Is a brother to the general freight agent of the Louisville and Nashville. at Mont- gomery. and the formers retirement has been exceedingly regretted by his numer- ous friends. The retiring railroad of- ficial has been offered and has accepted a position with the Consolidated Grocery Company. His successor in the railroad service has not been named.

REFUSES TO SIGN BILL.

mSaSuTSs 's
 Jackson, Miss, March 22-It developed this afternoon that there were six bills which failed to reach the Governor in time for his signature. One of them is an important measure giving force to the constitutional amendment voted by the people directing that t,R poll taxes shall be retained in the couI%ies in which col lected. This may cause a muddle in the distribution of the school fund.
 The amendment has been adopted, but there is nothing to give 1t force.
 The Governor announced to-day that he would not sign the bill confirming the merger of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad and Southern so far as Mississippi Is concerned, but will hold it up for two years. Under the constitution he has to return 1t to the Legislature within three days after it meets two years hence. It is believed he will veto 1t two years from now.

On 1t lay nine revoivers. eight of which had been recovered from the negroes under arrest. and one having been taken from another defendant named William Lewis who was fined $10o for carrying the weapon concealed,
 The eight revolvers had been stolen from the warehouse of Johnson x Co.,. some nights previous and description Of them was sent to Pensacola.

Then as the others were coming in so fast the officers were more encouraged and pursuing the search the entire lot was recovered.
 The Alabama sheriff who will reach Pensacola tomorrow morning sent word that he would have the proper requisi- tion papers. .-t
 Deputy Sheriff McCurdy. who is yet in the hospital here, was able to recognize the negro, Miller, as soon as the latter was brought into his presence. When the trembling black faced the man he fried to kill. McCurdy said: That's him; he is the negro who tried to kill me on the train"
 The six other negroes who were ar rested in connection with this matter are held without bond on charges of having received and concealed stolen property. The cases against each of them will be pushed by prominent citizens of Green vile. who are in sympathy with the wounded deputy and who think each of the negroes know more than they want to tell just now. fal's
