WILSON'S OFFER TO WHITE.

Battling Nelson, still stinging under the fact that Jimmy Britt refused to meet him and took on Jabez White in stead, is out with a novel proposition. Yesterday the Dane posted $1.OOO in San Francisco to bind a match with White Nelson says he will fight the Briton in public or private, and VIII bet S1,5OO against S1,OOO that he will knock out White within ten rounds. The only condition that Nelson insists on is that the contest take place before the White Britt bout. The proposition is the outcome of an offer of Charlie Mitchell, Whites manager, during an argument. Mitchell has promised to make good today. White and Britt, by the way, are to meet on April p.

Are Large Houses vuIgars

Are large houses vulgar? Certainly
Il parvenu who should build himself a
house the size of Chatsworth or Raby
would be vulgar, as lacking a sense of
proportion in a matter of taste. Tho
inheritors of such places are of course
not vulgar to live in them, though they
are sometimes most unfortunate. Enor

sary retainers and a warlike state

TIE TEXAN RANGERS.
First Fight With Indians In which
RevoIvers Were Used.

John Coffee Hays was reared on a
farm in Wilson county, Tenn, being
born there in 1917. At the age of
eighteen he migrated to Texas, where,
during the struggle of that Mexican
province for independence. he served
with distinction in the military cam
paign conducted by General Sam Hous-
ton, being noted for his bravery and
strategy. After the termination of that
conflict Hays was placed in command
of the small regular force that was
shortly afterward organized and be-
came known to fame as the Texan
rangers. Many were the desperate
fights in which he was engaged with
the fierce COmanches and border In
dians, and innumerable were the perils
which he encountered. He was the
first to supply an armed force with
Colts revolvers for use in battle.
The Indian mode of warfare in those
early days was to draw their enemy's
fire and then sweep down upon them
like whirlwind, plying their bows and
using their long spears with deadly eff
feet. So cautious were they in this re
spect that they soon distinguished the
double barreled gun when it was
brought into use and only approached
when they were sure that such weap
ons had been emptied. On the first oc
casion when Hays and his rangers
armed with the revolvers, met a banC
on the warpath they allowed their fir,
to be literally drawn, and then the In
dians charged with eXultant cries, bu
when the revolver was brought int
play at close quarters the panic tina
ensued was absolute and the destruC
ton of the Indians complete. Hay
was colonel of the First Texan reg
ment, the nucleus of which was forme
of veteran rangers.

eApTlsTs TO BUILD CHURCH.

The Baptists Of Roswell have plans
made for the building Of a $4,000
cha:ch, and they hope to begin work
within the coming winter months,
says the Record. If the subscriptions
come fast enough the work will be
started this fall. and this is what the
more hopeful expect. In building a
$4,000 church the Baptists will step
ahead Of the times a little, for that
sum will put up a building far ahead
Of anything the town has at present.
A $780, 900 church usually goes with a
town OF 10000 or 5000 people, and
thus the Baptist people are showing
an abiding faith in Roswell and It's
future. As one of them said. they are
deserving of the encouragement and
assistance of the whole city.
