the traffic opened in the fall Of 1867
The first two seasons no effort wa
made to control to disorder and sup
press the brazen lswlessness here
On September 9th, 1869. the probat,
court Of Dickinson county granted the
petition to incorporate Abilene, and
named j. B. Shane, T. c. Henry,
Thos. Siberian, T. F. Hersey and j.
G. Mccoy as trustees. The board
organized and was chosen chairman,
with the duties corresponding to
mayor. We adopted ordinances, but
the season was so nearly closed by
that time, active government was not
attempted. The spring following the
board reorganized, myself again chair
man and W. Fancher secretary.
Thirty-two saloons we're licensed,
closing hours we're enforced, dives
and inmates forced out and back from
centers, and the more fragrant crimes
punished. Gambling and minor vices
we're disregarded, for at best barely
more than a semblance Of decency
was hoped for.
Such laws as we're half tentatively
ventured, of course, required execu-
tive enforcement. The office OF Town
Marshal was erected, charged with
that function. The ordinances we're
published and the fact proclaimed
that law and order thereafter should
govern. The usual ordinance pro-
carrying firearms within the
town limits had been adopted, and
large bulletin boards were erected at
the main roadways entering the town,
upon which it was conspicuously let
tered. That Abilene was to be re-
iuced to peace footing was heralded
from Mountain to the Gulf.
Nearly the very first applicant for
he Marshalship was Tom Smith him
'elf. He came down from Kit Carson,
Colorado. He was endorsed by a re-
outabie citizen Of Abilene who knew
Il him as the accredited leader OF the
amed Bear River Riot in Wyoming.
Albeit Smiths personal appearance
'elied his reputation and his ere
entialS we're acceptable, the idea Of
the reign Of good gov
rnment through the agency Of sush
person seemed inconsistent and
Questionable. His application was
elected and our choice was made I

Trade and Its relation to Abilene
The eloquent speaker who is to fol-
low, will detail more vividly than
can the scenes and events which made
Abilene the most famed and goddess
little city on this continent, q third
OF century ago.
Among the numerous trans. Mis-
souri, railroads projected was the line,
now the Union Pacific, which was
built to and passed beyond Abilene
In the spring Of lS67-the first to
penetrate Kansas. There were then
practically no railroads west OF the
Mississippi south of the Missouri,
save the Missouri Pacifc,-not
single mile In all Texas. Isolated
and remote from markets, that State
from the first had made cattle raisiug
its chiefindustry. Federal possession
Of the Mississippi during the war had
shut In Texas and an enormous cattle
holding had accumulated there. The
genius, foresight and enterprise Of one
man, Joseph G. Mccoy Of Springfield,
conceived the idea of trailing
those cattle to the nearest railway
available. and thence by shipment to
the markets Of the east. Accordingly |
the "Chisholm' trail was laid from |
lhe Rio Grande to Abilene-a thousand |
miles. Here were built by the Nc.
Coy Brothers the shipping yards, and

, the stone to the city. He spoke brief
ly but eloquently and was listened t.
with pleasure.
Mayor S. R. Cowan then accepted
the monument in the following words
MAYOR s ACCEPTANCE.
On benalf OF the citizens of Abilene
| most gladly accept this trust, and
pledge the good name Of the city that
henceforth this stone shall be pre-.
served, and kept sacred to the mem
ory Of our pioneer citizen and bene-
factor, Thomas J. Smith, who died q
martyr to the establishment OF law
and order in the early days Of our
fair city.
We recognize law as a divine insti.
tv tion and he who dies IN its defense
dies for God. This tribute to the
worth OF one OF the laws defenders is
tribute tardily paid, but it is far
better to do an act Of gratitude late
than to shirk it entirely. His life
was eloquent with courage. We boast
Of it today. He impressively illus
trated that cardinal principle that
constitutes one OF the foundation
stones upon which the grand super.
structure Of our republic stands, that
is, courage. He is one If the un-
crowned heroes. He never feared to
meet his enemies face to face. He
had confidence in himself and in his
cause. The number Of his enemy
nor the strength Of their position
never disturbed him. He hazarded
everything in defense of what he
thought was right. He was bent On
doing his duty, or find his grave in
the act.
Never before or since was there an
officer Of the law more valuable or
more efficient. He contributed his
Iull share to the establishment Of
lecency and order, and was stricken
iown in the performance of duty,
martyr to his sense of duty.
We are the bene6ciaries Of bis work
Is an officer OF the law. Abilene is a

Today the city expresses
is deep and sincere regards for the

but now fttingly marked.

YALE CREW WINS.
Navy Admirers DelGded With
Thoughts of Victory After Close Race

Annapolis, May 9.-For over an
hour after the race between Yale and
Annapolis Saturday afternoon the
crews, the official party, the navy adj
herents and the public believed that
the local crew had won the race by
half a length.
The whistles of the score craft in
the harbor blew joyously and the mid
shipmen cheered delightedly. Much
to their chagrin, however. it appeared
that a mistake had been made and the
judges at the finish finally decided that
Yale had won by half length in 10
minutes and 81 seconds, which is a
record time. for the distance. Two
miles, according to the statement OF
the Yale coach.
The mistake occurred owing to the
darkness and the angles of the course
which made it appear that the mid
shipmen won. This was the impress
sion of the referee and all on the
official boat. the Manley, but it proved
to be a mistake.

Philadelphia, May 9.--Joe Grim, the

at the National Athletic club Saturday
night. He was doing business at the
end of the sixth round, and though he
took a terrific drubbing he was not so
badly injured that he could not kiss
Peter when the bell sounded. Maher
showed excellent Judgment trying to
catch Grim with his left, and then try
ing the right. He landed frequently
with his left. but he could never get
his right to the proper spot. In the
fifth round Grim amazed every one by
taking the initiative. The sudden
change in tactics was a surprise to
Maher, Grim's swings landing clean.
There was no force behind them, and
Peter soon Strengthened Grim with
his left. Just before he began his Of
fensive movement Grim yelled Hello,
Peter" which some of the spectators
construed in "Hello, gutter and for
a while there was conlmotion at the
