OutgrOwn their quarters. however, and
were thinking of moving to a larger place
farther in the northwest section, as it
WAS felt there was. no real need Of the
two bodies being SO closely situated
many members living in the suburbs. But
at recent meeting it was unanimously
voted to unite with the First Church,
which move was heartily welcomed by
that body and ratified by each. The first
service together will be to-day, and all
are greatly gratifed at the move.
The Scientists number somewhat over
one thousand in Washington, though
hardly half are members of the church,
and they say their cause is prospecting as
never before. The recent attacks IN news
papers and magazines. they aver, have
added 10 their ranks large numbers, and
are really a source of good, causing peo-
pie to investigate their tenets and be-
come converts.
Mr.. Edward T. Norwood, of the com
mittee on publication for Washington
told a Herald reporter that it is but n
question Of a short time when the seat

The Mier Prisoners.
Son OF One Who Drew Life
Bean Recalls Tragic Incl
dent in History of Texas.

| have been waiting for some
time 10 give you and, your read
ers a few of my thoughts in re-
gard to some incidents in Texas
history. While life endures can |
not speak of Asa Hill, my father,
the Mier prisoner who drew the
life bean which proved a thous-
and times worse TO him than the
black b an, as he and his com
panions suffered more than tom
que can tell? Very soon after he
returned to his home he fell
with stroke of paralysis while
plowing near the spot where he
now sleeps by the side of his
oldest son, Green Washington
Hill, the old Indian agent, Col.
Milton Swisher, Captain East
land, Lieutenat Mack Thorn p.on
and many others who drew the
black bean.
Captain Baker still lives i'm
Wilson county, Tom Rabb in
New Mexico and William Rabb
In La Porte. The last mentioned
was the first white child born
west of the Colorado river. He
was born near the bluff, where
the bones Of our Mier prisoners
are in a vault, in which place
they were deposited when frs
brought from Mexico. While in
LA Grange not very long past,
by the kindness of Mr.. Nat
Rives, | procured the inscriptions
which are on the monuments
erected in honor Of those noble
sons Of Texas. They are as fol-
lows:
On the east side "Erected by
the state Of Texas to the memory
OF her defenders, Captain N. III.
Dawson and his command, who
fell at the battle of Salado, Mex.
September IS, 1912"
On the south side: "To the
memory OF the men who drew
the black beans, and were shot
at Salado, Mexico, March 24th.
1S43."
On the west side: Dawson's
Men,"
On the north side: "Mier pris-
oners."
After the battle at Mier the
prisoners were at once started
on long march toward the dun.
geons at Perote, where they
knew they would be tortured 10
death. AT the Hacienda Salalo
they overpowered a company of
cavalry, and taking the horses
and al ms from the trembling
wretches they rode away in a
gallop. A few shouted: "To the

Foot Wallace realized the mis-
take, but fearing the Texans
might get separated they left
the road. There were 1913 of
them. 1t was no. long until they
were entangled in the mountain

were without food or water. They
were wild and did many things
to procure something to live on.

replied that he would have moth
Ing 10 do with such inhuman
bulchery; but some one was
found who was willing to do the
deed.
One hundred and fifty-nine
white beans and seventeen black
beans were placed in an earlhen
mug and The prisoners drew for
life or death. My father, Asa
Hill, has often related to me
what he saw, heard and exper-
fenced as one of the unfortunate
sufferers. He said one of the
most piteous appeals was made
by an afflicted brother, who was
chained to his healthy brother
who had drawn black bean,
saying to him, 81 do not expect
to live but few days at most ::
let me take your place"
My brother, Jeffrey Bardsdale
Hill, the noted "mother's boy"
who was one of the famous pris
oners, died last year at Waelder.
Big Foot Wallace SAID he would
vouch for this story There was
man by the name of Sheppard
who drew black bean and was
shot with the other condemned
men. He fell, but realized that
he was not fatally shot. He Law
perfectly still, letting them take
his clothing and drag him to the
heap of slain. There were a GER
tain number Of graves, and when
they were ready 10 bury the men
they found one missing. This
one was Sheppard, who made
his escape the night before. He
had made his way to the ranch
of a Mexican, who promised to
take him TO Texas. These stealthv
Mexicans trailed him to his
hiding place by the blood he
had left on the rocks. They took |
him out and shot him at once.
On one occasion fine lady |
said to the guards "Why do
you keep these men chained ? |
Are you afraid of them?" The
reply was: '!The governors Or
ders." She exclaimed, 81 am
the wife of the governor, and I
intend to cut the chains" She
brought a blacksmith and had
5he irons cut; but with fourteen n
others Big Footed Wallace was
put in irons again. On the fifth
