WHO HIT BILLY PATTERSON {?
Ancient Mystery I'm Richmond Va,
Cleared Up ut Last.

ClcarSO Up 0t Last.
(IiEginsville. NO.. Dispatch to Chica-
so Record Herald.)
"Who struck Billy Patterson is Il
question that has gone into history.
1t Is asked frequently by persons who
have no idea who "Billy" Patterson
was. for II has become a stock ex-
preston signlfying mystery.
But now comes T. NJ, Lake, former
ly of Fauquier county. Va. and now
a retired merchant Of this city. who
says he knows all about the striking
Of Patterson. Mr.. Lake was a young
friend Of the man who struck the
blow. "Billy" Patterson, according
to Mr.. Lske. was the bully of Rich
mond. Va. almost 76 years ago. He
was big man who loved fighting al
most a. well as he loved whiskey. and
preferred the two together.
The day Patterson was struck the
blow which thrust his name into i'm
mortality he had obtained liquor. but
was finding It dificult to get fight.
He had taken up position in the
center OF much travelled silewalk
and was making all passers u,hv ~
the street. He was particularly in
sultlng to crowd OF medical students
who pessed on their way to a near
by students hotel.
Among those students was Albin
Payne. young man from Fauquier
county. q relative of Admiral Raphael
semmes. and man of fghting blood.
When the group of students SUBJ
mitted to the indignities offered nv
Patterson mis- lighting blood was
aroused.
Let me at the bovine" he said, as
he walked up to Patterson. Perhaps
Patterson was too much surprised Ia
defend himself. for only one blow
was struck. and BILLY" Patterson
went down with thud. It was be-
lieved at first that Patterson was kill
ed. and the students fed to their
hotel. where hasty conference was
held, and they vowed not to tell who
struck the blow.
Hardly had Payne been taken out
side way to another students lodging
house when the police arrived, de-
mandlng the man who struck Billy
Patterson" All the students wer.
questioned. but each denied that he
had struck Patterson. Though I,
soon became apparent that Patterson
was not dangerously injured. the stu
dents kept their vow. Payne prefer
ring to avoid notoriety. Payne after
ward became widely knc wn as phy-
sician In Virginia and attained some
note as a magazine writer under the
nome de plume Of Nicholas Spicer."

ABOUT THE GOOD
 SAMARITAN
Of Which We Have Many Prototypes in
 Our Midst
Dear Reader

Dear Reader:
 In my last letter there was very little of anything ineligible in the latter part. This was the fault of the type setter which in his hurry hc overlooked. This mis- take vii De corrected in the weekly editi)n.
 l intended to say in the wind up of that letter that I might say say something about the good Samaritan of whom there are many prototypes in our midst. l know that must get up some thing of congeniaI softness to appease the kinder ruffled fee'- ings Of my wife for what I said about her Baptist bible and the fashion plate and cup towe. be- ing the only things of apprecia- ble va ue which we saved from the conflagration in which our home and al. Of our earthly pos sessi ms were destroyed. In al. these letters nothing but the pur- est motives actuates me. What, ever personal refefenc e may make is not intended to wound or hurt. If can make you laugh with a good joke or if can make you get a broader view of life in which you can see the better things which it holds for all of us, shal. be glad. I may say things or tel, the deeds of men and women in which the narrow and broad way is made plain. l hope by thls to help someone. No harm is intended to any one. The litt.e things to which l will call attention, never personate and deeds in which there is the spirit of the good Samaritan I may in- dividualize. These deeds are in the most Of us when conditions are favorable to bring them out. The man or woman is certainly very degraded in whom none of
The Prescott daily news., 1909-09-17

those liner sentiments reside out of which comes sympathy and a helping hand to his unfortunate neighbor. l may write several letters i'll which the spirit of the good Samaritan will predominate.
 The spirit Of the good Samari- tan was brought out by the inter- rOgation of a certain young man or lawyer to Christ wanting tn Nnow what he must do to be saw ed or ente" the eternal life. It was a question in which he was honest and an honest and truthful reply was given. Christ said un- to this lawyer what is the matter in this law? How readest thou? And he said thou shalt love the Lord thy God with al. thy heart With al. thy soul and with all thy strength. and with ali thy mind md thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself.
 Christ said to him that he had answered correctly. This do and thou shalt live.
 The young lawyer then wanted to know who was his neighbor and Jesus said unto him that a cer tain man went down from Jeru- salem to Jerico and fell among the thieves and was stripped Of his garments and wounded him, leav- ing him half dead and by chance there came a certain priest that way and when he saw him he pass cd down on the other side and likewise a Levite when he came that way came and looked on him an1 passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan as he p }me along where he was and saw him had cOmpassion on him and went to him and bound up his wounds, and poured on oil and wine and set him on his own breast and brought him to m inn and took him and on the morrow he took out two pence and gave them to the host and said unto him. Take care of him and what sOever thou spendest more on him when l come again I will repay thee
 Which thinkest thou is neighbor to him who fell among the thieves and he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go and do like wise.
 Now, dear reader, we have the description Of your neighbor very p ain and simpe given by one who knows, by one who has all know ledge, all power, who was in part nership with the father in the creation Of all things in heaven and earth.
 There was nothing made that was made that was not made tV him. So you are bound to re- cognize the authenticity and the truthfulness of this answer to the young lawyer by Jesus, our Saviour.
 Now, vii. you just look at that bug or cock roach how he has flus- trated me, trying to prepare some thing on which there is sense and reason. Something that is solemn
