1t was in January, 1891, that Bill Mcdonald

whom they were hoping to protect. This made
the work hard and discouraging, as work al
ways Is hard and discouraging when it is done
amid enemies who wear the guise Of friends.
For this kind Of service Capt Bill McDon-
alts was eminently qualified. Already he had
been appointed special Ranger in Company
b, commanded by Capt s. A. McMurray, but
his duties as U. S. deputy marshal in No-Mans
Land and In the Cherokee strip had been his
chief work. Nevertheless he had, on occasion.
engaged in bandit hunting in his own state,
during this period. either alone in company
with other officials. usually with good results.
Events of this sort kept Bill McDonads

him seem peculiarly eligible for regular

hurried to Austin to try for that command
His old friend, JAMES Hogg. was now gov

A BIT o NOTHIN'

The Amigo Journal last week
took exception to a word in an
article which appeared in the
News. We used the expression
"a stable business man." They
ask if the word stable" would
denote that the man was a
liveryman. All we can say is
that Webster properly defines
the word and alsosit was proper
" used BY the News. Of course,
the Journal evidently will have
to ask why we refer them to
Webster, mot being aware that
it is a dictionary Their mind
seems to revert to alleged fun
making. AS to that, will the
Journal explain why they still
use 1909" in dating their issue
of January 7th of this year.
Don't they know after running
daily seven DAYS in 1910, that
1909 is delete? [See Webster for
the latter word.-Ed.]
