Grade Stakes Being Reset.
Surveys for the Panhandle cutoff
were made last spring but the lines
Of grade stakes in many pastures
through which the survey runs were
not kindly regarded and, by one
means or another, nearly all the
stakes disappeared. In one pasture
the line has been plowed up, In
another the owner carefully went
along and gathered up the wooden
stakes to remove them absolutely
from his pasture, This careless re-
gard, for the line was largely influ-
,enced by the belief on the part OF
some OF the doubtful ones that the
line would not be built and that the
stakes amounted 10 nothing.
Il The absence OF these grade stakes
however, will give the company lit
tie difficulty because the profiles Of
the line have been made and 1t will
only be necessary to put in new
grade stakes. Today the companys
engineers began the work OF run
ming the line again.
Rig Construction Outfits Ready.
The big Harris construction outfit
east o! Panhandle has been waiting
for several weeks TO be ready to be-
gin on the Panhandle cutoff. Be-
tween Amarillo and Woodward, there
are now eight work trains and all
OF these that can be advantageously
used will be sent to the work here,
All the heavy construction between
here and woodward Is now done and
the outfits on the line are simply
keeping the new roadbed in shape
and repairing defects, East of
Woodward several work trains arc
at work in the breaks and this work
will be continued,
Receiving Steel at Canadian.
Shipments OF steel for relaying
the track on this end are being re-
ceived rapidly now at Canadian and
steel gangs will handle this about
as fast as It can be delivered, New
rails are OF ninety pound steel
throughout as are those on the Belen
cutoff. The old rails now In service
are fifty-eight pound, Grading and

a great task, but we succeeded. 1t

OF the burden is borne according TO

cording to our means, II is suifi-
Client to know that the amount is
raised and the question settled.

this fearful fight there were twelve
men engaged. One OF them was James
Madison Wells, known throughout the
country as president Of the Louisiana
returning board Of 1851. Bowie
was very dangerously wounded, but
managed to recover. While down on
the ground with an antagonist on top
of him who weighed thirty pounds
more than did Bowie, the indominta-
bic fighter managed to get his left
arm around his enemy's neck and
then with a sudden right hand cat
he severed the other mans jugular
with al awful slash and was almost
smothered by the terrible outgush OF
blood that poured from the wound.
James Bowie only weighed l40
pounds when at his prime. He
was quiet, soft voiced man, who nev-
er drank nor dissipated in any way.
He possessed enormous physical
strength for his size, and was as quick
and 1.-the as wildcat and as game.
Bowie was the terror Of all the hard
cases from Louisville to New Orleans.

Two StateS-leMneS>ee and Mary
iand-claim the birthplace Of the in
ventor. James Bowie. and the uuvS-
ton has never been quite definitely
settled. But he gave the name to 4
weapon as deadly as any that has
ever been forged from steel.
When Louisiana became state the
old Spanish and French records ere
ated great deal Of trouble. 1t fire.
quently happened that planter who
had taken up large tract Of land
and fairly opened it out as planta-
ton would learn that it was claimed
BY some one under an old Colonial
grant. James Bowie was very fire.
quent claimant under these old laws.
Several capitalists Of the time had
sent him to Havana, where the old
papers Of the Spanish colony Of Lou
iSiana were kept, and caused careful
transcripts of them to be made. They
appointed as their agent to put them
in possession of these properties
James Bowie. In these early days it
did not take much provocation to
bring on a personal encounter, as a
fight to the death was euphonlously
entitled. A man who had been to the
trouble and expense Of opening up an
estate only to find it claimed by a
lot of people he did not know was
generally pretty ready to fight for it,
whether a fight would settle the ques
tion or not. The consequence Of this
state Of things was that James Bowie
and his two brothers, Stephen and
Rain, had on hand almost constantly
some sort or "diAiculty'' that had
to be fought out with deadly weapons.
This was before the days when per-
cussion caps were in general use, and
the smaller pistols of the period we're
flintlocks-inconvenient to carry and
not very reliable. So the knife had to
be used when one wanted a really
trusty weapon.
James Bowie set to work and with
pocket knife and shingle he made
model Of the kind Of knife that he be-
ieved was about the proper thing for
the business he had on hand. The first
"bowie" was made by the local
blacksmith at Shreveport, La, after
the model furnished by James Bowie
and it was used by him for several
years. About 1880, however, Bowie
heard of New Orleans cutler, a
Spaniard named Pedro, who was max
inc knives of wonderful kind and
temper. They could be driven through
silver dollar without damage to
point or edge. This artist made
Bowie a knife which was a marvel Of
beauty and temper. The blade was
nine inches long, and, with the han
die, measured fifteen inches. This
weapon was used with telling effect
by Bowie in nineteen different en-
counters and it was the one in his
stiffened hand when, with six dead
Mexicans about him showing the evl-
dence of his fatal skill, he was found
dead at the Alamo.
Bowie's method of using the knife
was one peculiar to himself. He did
not hold it in his hand with the point
downward, but grasped the handle as
swordsman would grasp the hilt Of
his sword. He always struck at the
neck of his man and aimed for the
jugular, and seldom missed hsi coup.
In the most famous Of his battles,
