T. p. Boyett, Deputy Marshal W.
A. Reed had a close call from the
accidental discharge of his pistol,
and the horse got flesh wound
through the right side, the ball
penetrating foot or more down
the side and passing out.
Mr.. Reed says he went to slap
the horse with the end Of the bril-
die reins and a hole in one Of the
reins caught on the hammer Of the
45 Colts six.shooter in his back
pocket. The weapon was dis
charged, tearing a great rent in Mr..
Reeds pants and woundipg the
horse as above stated. The pistol
also fell from the scabbord to the
ground into the mud Mr.. Reed
said he first thought somebody had
shot at him, and feeling for his
pistol, thought he had left it at
home. He fortunately escaped
personal injury.
Mr.. Reed was out in quest of
goods alleged to have been stolen
by negro named George Hearne
in Fort Worth and sent here to
relatives. A part of the goods
have been recovered, and letter
from the Fort Worth police depart
ment says the negro is in custody

Then, one day about year ago, the break

It was and for the moment his look Of distress
touched her, but the Howison pride was aroused
and her sympathy was only moncntary
Colonel Carpenter made no attempt to deny
the truth Of the story. He admitted that the

The next day she went to her mother, who was
still living, and he remained alone in their old
home. Society, which had read the story, knew
what the trouble was, but for once society was
kind and little was said to either Colonel Car
renter or his wife to open the wound.
Often the woman had reproached herself with
being too hard and had wished she could bring
herself to the point of rejoining her husband, but
she could not. As she unused this night on the
bitter year that had passed the cab came to a

Mrs. Carpenter, her head down to keep the
rain from binding her, tripped up the steps Of

In big arm chair sat the Colonel, his profle

pung Of regret that he had aged years in tho
twelve months that had passed since she had
