THREW THE RIDER.

When we reached the town of Nor
ton. Mr.. Miller came towards us
with an offer 70 take the horse we
rode TO the stable. We did not ac-
cept the suggestion. Afterwards we
found out the cause Of it. DR.. Lew
is says that after he and Miller left
the party, Miller continued to urge
the horse onward. When they reach
ed the town, the next thing he knew
the horse had thrown Miller squareIy
over his head in the middle OF tne
street and had started on a run to
the stable, where the owner was
much surprised to meet him without
a rider.

CHANGED HIS OPINION.

Concerning his opinion as TO the
guilt or innocence of the men, Grier
said that after the finding OF ban
doliers and empty shells almost any
reasonable man would have been con
vinced that the soldiers did the shoot
ing. He said ne changed his opinion
when Gen. Darlington, inspector
general of the army. issued his ul-
umatum that all OF the Negro sol
diers who were at Brownsville would
be discharged without honor unless
they delivered up the guilty men.
Lieut.. Grier concluded that the
men were innocent because OF tne
effect Of this ultimatum upon tne Ne
Sroes. He was of the opinion that
all OF the old and tried soldiers had
done everything they could to deter
mine II any OF their men were in
Volved in the shooting. The wit
ness Endorsed the first plan suggest
ed by Maj. Penrose for the discovery
OF the guilty parties. which was that
restrictions upon the soldierh be re-
moved and that they be permitted
TO forget that they were being
prosecuted in the hope that the Ne
groes might begin talking among
themselves. Lieut. Grier was on
posed to the threat TO discharge tae
soldiers unless they confessed.

FORAKER MAKES IMPORTANT
POINT.

An important point was made by
Senator Foraker in bringing out the
fact that wnen Lieut.. Grier was a.
reused by the firing ne ran across tne
parade grounds in the darkness. and
iaiIed TO see Sergt. Harley, VINO had
been sent 20 call Capt. Mecklin. un-
I'll they were almost upon each other.
lie was examined carefully on this
point, and said that although he knew
Harley well, ne could not recognize
him, nor did he know that the man
was a soldier until he heard him
speak.
Several witnesses testified, in
former Investigations, that they plain
ly recognized soldiers running
through the streets on the night OF
the shooting.
After examining several witnesses
for the purpose of Identifying guns

Infantry, which are affected by the
reports OF experts, the committee ad-
Journed until tomorrow.
Washington Post, April 2, 1901
The testimony of Capt. Edgar A.
Macklin, of Company c, Twenty-fifth
Infantry, was taken by the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs yes
terday in the Brownsville investiga-
ton. 1t proved interesting. partie-
ularly for the reason that Macklin
is to be tried by court-martial after
his return to Texas, and for the fur
ther reason that ne was shot by an
unidentified masked Negro at Fort
Reno after the Negro soldiers were
taken away from Fort Brown.
Although there is no evidence
tending to show that the Brownsville
ARRAY was respe nsible for the attack
upon him. many persons have ex-
pressed the opinion that the two In
cidents are connected. particularly
as he was the first of the white off,

A RESTLESS ANIMAL.

Once on top OF the back the animal
wanted TO so, and il was with great
effort that we kept the horse with the
rest before we made the trip to the
mountain. Finally all OF us were in
the saddle and then there was q rush
TO the foot OF the mountain. Every
horse was doing his best and the
"bumpity bump" in the night air
gave zest to the trip and a pictur-
esqueness to the journey.

Have you a curb bit on this mare?"
He replied in the Affirmative and af-
ter trying the saddle and finding il
tight and snug, we were about to
vault into IL. But the horse would
not stand still and again the head
had to be held.

SNAPPED HORSES.

About two-thirds of the way up
the mountain side we noticed that
our saddle was travelling slowly but
surely TO the flanks OF the spirited
animal that we were riding We
called TO Mr.. Staples. but Mr. Miller
volunteered his services and we dis
mounted. while he readjusted the
saddle. We rcmounted and started
or, but as the horse was climbing
an almost perpendicular mountain
side, the saddle continued TO back

We again dismounted This time
Mr.. Miller proposed that we swap
horses. To this we readily consent
ed and when we got over the noun
tain he galloped away in company
with Or. J. Alexander Lewis. while
we continued 70 ride at a slow speed.
The horse he had given us was what
is commonly called a plug" There

COMPELLED TO RIDE.

To say that a look OF dismay was
on our countenance expresses it mild
ly. The thought OF those six collins
at Green ore or possibly a cripple for
the remainder of ones life was not
pleasant.
Yet we were compelled TO MAKE
the trip. In sheer desperation we
asked which horse were We 10 ride.
He pointed out the white one. We
were about TO mount. hut the animal
wouldn't stand still long enough.
Then two men got at mis- head. We
were about 60 pull ourselves into the
saddle when that part seemed COM
ing towards us. It was too loose
and we told Mr.. Staples so.

DOWN TO THE VALLEY.

Once on top, the situation changed
and the burden shifted. Several
times 1t looked as though we would
go over the animals head. At some
places on the road one false step
would have thrown the morse and
rider many fleet below. We never
want such an experience again.
Reaching the valley we were soon
at the village OF Dorchester, where
me coke ovens with their sputtering
hery crowns made a wierd scene In
the night time. We looked in vain
for DR.. Lewis. He was nowhere to
be seen.

THE TRIP TO NORTON.

There were numbers OF people to
meet us. We were soon enjoying
supper at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Samuel Booker. It was about
o'clock before we retired for the
night. We were scheduled TO leave
at G o'clock for Norton. We got
out and walked around breathing
the pure air. Range after range OF
mountains with their cloud kissed
peaks could he seen on every side.
In short while Mr. Staples appeared
astride of one horse and leading two
others.
Then ne returned and brought the
other three. In the last batch was
our restless stoed of the night before.
We made friends with that animal
again, and we were more successful
in mounting than we were the night
before. The word was given and we
started on a canter for the foot OF
the mountain. We had light now
and we were able TO realize fully
the risk of a trip over this danger
Gus mountain road in the night time.

Mr.. A. Z. Miller OF Stonega, who

DR.. Lewis went another. The Doctor
held to the bride and brought his
horse into Dorchester.

A BRICK UNDER THE SADDLE.

Another discovery was made at the
stable. When Mr.. Staples horse was
examined. piece of brick was found
under the saddle. II had evidently
been placed there by some person at
Dorchester for the purpose Of caus-
ing the horse to throw its rider. AS
Mr.. Staples is heavyweight, the on
ly thing that saved him was the fact
that he rode slowly back to Norton.
II was rare chance that the back
or the horse was not permanently
disdgured- He was the one that had
been selected for us and the loose
saddle was used from the fact that
his back was tender.

DIR. LEWIS IN DANGER.

DR.. Lewis had a narrow escape as
the affair frightened the morse ne
rode and it was all he could do to
stay in the saddle. Mr.. Miller seem
ed TO have lost sight of the fact that
the horse we rode was much more
spirited than the one he had traded
on with us on the mountain side.
We knew it, however, and had de-
cided that II there was 20 be any
tooiishness, it would have to come
from the horse and not from the
rider.

AS the time draws near for the

there is more talk of why the
increase should not be made, and
while the telephone company
gave a reason for the raise of the
rate, it does not seem to satisfy
some of their patrons, as all sorts
of questions are being asked.
Of course all that have to use a

that is greatly needed, as holding

Or course no one wants to pay
more taxes, but there should be a
safe way Of securing the actual
value of property listed so that
all would have to pay in proper
ton. That this Is not the case
now all will admit, and two in
stances mentioned in our last is
sue are well to remember: The
fellow with a small house and lot
always comes nearer to the full
value than the man with the large
house or many houses, and the
same may be said of the man
with a small farm; also remem-
Der the fact that If your property
is to be given in at two-thirds its
real value, the fellow that pays

on hand should be allowed the
same privilege. ..
