A LIAR And A POLTROON
By Donelson Caffcry Of ST. Mary-A
Miserable Plea by the Would-B
Governor Of Louisiana-IIis Official
Position Precudcs Satisfaction.

In card to the public Donclson
laffc.y has denounced J. Y. Sanders in
words direct and positive, This denun-
citation OF the Woli-Bc Governor has in
tensife1 the feeling already excited and
leaves to the Lieutenant Governor the
alternative OF rescnting this insult or TO
accept 1t, on the plea that he is barred
by his official position. Such an excuse
is not acceptable to men who have the
highest regard for character To be
branded "a liar and poltroon' is
stigma which can be repelled only III one
OF two ways If, however. Lieutenant
Governor Sanders is satisfied and will
decline to meet on equal terms Mr.. Don
Caffery, who is a gentleman the self
respecting citizens of Louisiana must see
to it that no man who shall not resent
50 gross all insult shall ever disgrace
the seat occupied by the illustriouS
Claiborne, Roman. Mouton, Wicklife,
Moore and Nichols and others. Here is
Don Cafferys denunciation.
TO the Public: In speech at Jean
nerette October 20. 1907, Mr. Jared Y.
Sanders, referring to a speech Of mine
at Donaldsonville said certain passages
therein quoted were as false as they
were contemplate
Upon reading this language com
nunicated with Mr. Sanders AMI sought
a retractlon and apology III writing.
This was denied me. and satisfaction
was refused on the ground that Mr..
Sanders is at present Lieutenant Gov
ernor Of the State and candi late for
Governor
Neither official robes nor the seeking
after official robes charter any American
man TO violate the laws OF honor. or arm
him with impunity to deny the truth and
insult gentlemen
The subterfuge adopted by Mr..
Sanders leaves me no course but to state
the facts and le1ye them to the Judgment
OF my fellow citizen. Upon all the facts
alleged by me at Donaldsonville AMI de-
MED by Mr. Sanders have i'll my pos
session proof of their absolute veracity,
which at the proper time | shall disclose
to the public. That these statements are
true and proofs Of the same exist was
well and thoroughly known by Mr. San
f+,rS At the time of his denial thereof
''The premises stated require me to
denounce Jared Y. Sanders as a COM
mon liar and poltroon.

GIRL "COWB0Y" TAKES
 TO LIFE ON PLAINS
CEI Paso News.)

A cowboy girl blew into Fl Paso yesterday from CalIfornia-at least a girl came here who wants to be a cowboy, and, being denied by nature the privilege of being the real article she has deter-hined to come as near it as custom and manners vii! help her
 -Tne girl, clad in divided skirts which gave her quite a manly appear ance, went to the sheriff's office yes terday to investigate the law regu' lating the carrying of pistols. Some one had told heTS she could wrap a re- yolver up Tn a paper and carry it out side the city limits, and there buckle it about her waist and roam the prai- ries in true hero style.
 But alas for her hopes. Chief Dep uty Bryan was compelled to break the news to her that the law prohibit ing gun toting applies to the entire state and that if she was caught with one on her person it would cost her $100 and costs. This information cnangeu uEr piaI5I UTTG if75' tiaIupen her aftiaai' aftiaaif' CT diminish her da termination.
Bisbee daily review., 1907-11-24

She had come all the way from Cal ifornia to be a Texas cowboy, and she was not going back upon her aspira- tions She already had a rifle and she could ride 8 horse astrad-sTide, so would merely cut out the pistol ana go on the range without it. She likes the charm of cut-of-doors life, she ex- plained. She is not a lunger, she said. but she longs to ride the plains all day and lie down at night with the ground as a couch, her saddle as a pillow and only the sky as q covering and be lulled to pleasant dreams by the musical voices of the cows as they call to each other in the light of the stars.
 She has decided to make her first dash in the direction of Ysleta, and has made arrangements for a com panion in the person of Deputy Sher- if Marlow, who has an especial fond ness for bachelor girls, and he has promised to give her chance to cap ture an Indian or so, and may be to show her where she can kill buffalo in one of the back streets of Ysleta.
 The girl left the courthouse follow ed by the admiring eyes of dozen men as iler divided skirts fluttereu the bTeezes which blew from the north.
 She exnected- to start today on her first raid, and she says she never intends to return to civilization.
