Early Political Career,

Determining to be q lawyer, he re.
turned to Tennessee, and began the
study Of law. In six months he was
admitted to the bar. In 1919 he was
appointed prosecuting attorney Of the
Davidson district, and the same year
he became adjutant general Of the
militia of Tennessee. In 1921 be be.
came major general Of the militia, and
in 1923 he was elected representative
to congress. lie served two terms.
While he was serving his second term
he fought a duel with and seriously
wounded Gen. VIM. White.
In 1897 he was elected governor OF
Tennessee, and early in 1929 he was
re elected. In January, 1879, he mar.
ried Elizabeth Allen, daughter vi one
Of the most prominent men in the
state, and on April l6, three months
after his marriage, he caused an I'M.
mens sensation by resiguing his Of.
fee, turning his back on civilization
one more and fleeing to the wilderness
To appreciate how much n sensu
tion this action caused il must be un.
derstood that Houston was being eon.
sidered q likely candidate for the pres.
idency. Andrew Jackson was in the
White House and was the absolute
master Of the Democrats party. 1t
was expected that when Jackson retiT.
ed Houston would be his political heir.
Between the two men there was M
abiding ELECTION, and Jackson was the
only man to whom Houston ever defer.
red.
What added to the sensation was the
mystery hat attended IL, a mystery
that has continued 10 this day and that
is likely to continue for all the time.
All that is known 10 that Houston 3
bride left him and returned to her
parents home. Houston, drunk or
sober, never told why and his wife
never gave an explanation. The the
DRY that Is accepted most generally is
that Mrs. Houston loved another man;
that she married Houston because her
parents considered i, a brilliant match,
and that three months after their mar
rage, when she confessed to Houston
she never could love him, he determin
ed 10 close the books so far as their
married life was concerned.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1909-07-31

ordered him back. Refusing to obey,
Houston dashed out to lead the charge.
lie got close TO the Indians before he
discovered that he was charging alone
the others not having followed him.
Two bullets struck him in the shoul
der aud his right arm was shattered.
After the battle his wounds were pro
uounced mortal. One bullet was cut
out, but the surgeon said 1t was a
waste Of time to give further atten
tion to him, rs he was near death and
there were scores Of other wounded
men to look after. All night Houston
lay where he fell. There had been q
heavy rain, and he was without cover.
In the morning, much to the surprise
Of his companions, Houston was alive.
lie was put on n litter and carried
seventy Ave miles before he got medi
cal attention again, and then 1t was
of the rudest sort. The wounds he
received in that battle never healed.
For a year he was little more than a
skeleton.
Houston was promoted to Q %lieuten
ant In the regular army, and by rea.
son Of his influence with the Indians,
was assigned to service as sub agent
among the Che.okees. II was while Q
among the Chcrokees. 1t was while he
was in this service that he had q row
with John c. Calhoun that made them
enemies for life. Houston had con.
Quoted a delegation of C~herokees to
Washington to present their griev.
ances to the government, and he went
CARRIED a. an Indian. Calhoun, who
was secretary Of war, rc~primanded
him publicly. Houston thought that
Calhoun 5 anger was caused more by
the fact that Houston had been act.
i've in preventing the smuggling Of
slaves from Florida, then a spanish
province, into the southern states
through the Cherokee lands, than by
reason Of the young officer wearing
Indian attire. Houston resigned from
the army and from that time forth
was the implseable political and per.
sonal enemy Of Calhoun.
The Tucumcari news and Tucumcari times. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1907-1921, 1909-07-31
With the Indians Again.

His old friends, the C~herokees, were
far up the Arkansas River ip what
now is the Indian Territory, and TO
them he went. lie was received with
JOY by 90 loo tee kah, who always
considered him Il son. He became a
member Of the tribe under his old
name Of Colonneh (the Rover), and he
assumed Indian garb. He sat at the
fires aud he was one Of the chiefs.
But mere IL 4 sadder picture Of Hous.
ton to be viewed at this time. Never
n temperance man, he gave himself
over to unbridled indulgence. To his
name Of the Rover there wa another
by which he was known, and that was
the Big Drunk. And he took TO him
self an Indian wife, Tynia Rogers.
For three years he lived as an In.
dian chief, and these were the darkest
and blacklist Of bis queer life.
In 1880 he accompanied a delegation
Of Indians to Washington to plead
with the great white father 10 redress
their wrongs, and In 1889 he went to
the capitol with another delegation on
a similar mission. No other white
man EVER had the confidence Of the
Indians as had Houston, and they new
err had a better pleader or a more
faithful friend and counselor.
In the three years that Houston
buried himself among the Indians, q
crisis was developed In what now Il
that vast Southwestern domain OF the
United States known as Texas. With
in half Q century the region had passed
from the hands Of Spain again and
from Spain to Mexico. And now Ia
Mexico there was 4 eonyulsion. Bus
tamente, the tyrant, was being oppos
cd by Santa Anna, who, using the con
stitution Of 1924 a. u cloak for bill
ambitious schemes sought power only

Houston's First Battle.

The battle Of Horseshoe BEND was
the biggest and probably the most
desperate in which Indians have been
engaged with white men. Tecumseh
and his worrior had fortified them
selves behind palisades. Houston,
who had been promoted to ensign, was
on top Of the palisade when a barbed
arrow struck him In the thigh. lie
asked 4 lieutenant to pull 1t out; twice
the lieutenant tried, but the arrow was
lodged too firmly.
"Try again." said Houston, holding
his sword over his head, "and II you
fail this time IN cut you down"
The lieutenant exerted all his
strength, and the arrow came out, but
Il left q horrible wound.
A little later Jackson called for men
for q particularly desperate charge.
Houstc, was n Of those to respond.
Seeing how he was wounded Jackson

Several persons have questioned my
classification Of John p. Atgeld " one
Of Americas immortAls, but that is be-

plisbed work that would have killed
q strong q Even when the doctors
locked him up In his room, his brain
would keep right along working, and
when his strength same back he
would have some entirely fresh lines
Of thought marked out. That was one
Of the times, that inspired his won
derful speech at Peoria In 1895. Rising
from q sick bed, most people expected
TO hear Q bitter and eaustie ~harangue,
but instead he delivered perhaps the
Ansst tribute to u country ever

that they nearly forgot to take notss,
and the vast crowd swayed TO his
mood a. the grass before tie spirits
Of the wind. That was the real, the
brilliant Atgsld, a. the nearest ap'
preach he sver had to the prime OF
life. Perhaps the very next day some
OF the world rang with disapproval
Of some Of his peculiar opinions, but

For four continu uous seasons of over forty weeks each is the proud record of Montana which comes to the Elks' = Theater on Wednesday. March 10, for two nights.

Ffe tnery is said to be all new and up to date, while the electrical effects are promised to be of an extraordinary scale. What was one of tue most realistic scenes of the play last season was the flying leap made by Mr. Adams on the back of 8 mad1ened horse The wonderful and exc ting knife dnel in the last act will be most vividly recalled.
