1866 they reached east
Texas and settled in Rusk county, near Hen
derson, the county seat. Here the brother and
sister made an effort to retrieve their broken
fortunes with moderate success.
But though still a boy in years, being not
more than 16, his youth came really to an end
now. It was the period Of reconstruction in
the south-a time of obnoxious endorsements
on the one hand and rebellious bitterness on
the other, with general lawlessness in the
black settlements. The military dominated
the towns and there were continuous misun-
derstandings between the still resentful con
Squered and the aggressive and sometimes 5inso-
lent conquerors. Young Mcdonald, with the
memory Of his hero father shot dead while
leading his regiment against these men in
blue. was in mo frame Of mind to submit to
any indignity, real or fancied, at their hands.
It happened just at this time that one Col.
Greene, q relative Of the McDonalds, was MUIR
Sdered by negroes, who, being arrested, con-
fessed the killing, stating that they had mis-
taken Greene for a mule-buyer supposed to
have q large sum Of money. The men were
lodged in JAIL but 1t was believed that under
the "carpet-bag's military law then prevailing
they would escape punishment. In later years
+ young Mcdonald was to become one of the
most strenuous defenders of official procedure
one Of the bitterest opponents Of lynch law
the state of Texas has ever known; but he
was hot-blooded in sixty-eight and the situa-
q ton was not one to develop moral principles.
/ When, therefore, a mob formed and took the
negroes out Of jail and hanged them there is
mo record 5of 1Bil L Jess having distinguished
himself in their defense, as he certainly would
have done in later years. Indeed, it is likely

MADRID, July 23.-RepubIicans
Of Spain are frenzied with Joy today
over the attempted assassination Of
former Premier Maura, who was
shot last night at the Francia depot
In Barcelona.
Republican members of the cor
ties, embodying the spirit of the peo-
pie, hastily met at midnight, follow
ing rumors of Maura's death. Later.
when it was learned that he was
only slightly wounded and would
recover, they resolved upon meas
ures which they intend shall throw
open to investigation the charges
that Maura was responsible for the
Barcelona massacre last year.
Without doubt Maura is the most
hated man in Spain, and since his
retirement from the ministry he
has been guarded by government
agents from those who have sworn
to have his life in payment for the
wrongs he is alleged to have in
flicted upon the people.

ITS PURPOSE

A new organization, formed for
consideration of living questions OF
the day,was launched Tuesday night
at a banquet in the Moorish room OF
the Spokane hotel. 1t will be known
as the Free Forum Fraternity and
will gather about once a month
around the banquet board. An aim
will be made to have some speaker
of note at these monthly or special
meetings, the main talk to be fol-
lowed by informal discussion by the
whole membership. Local questions
affecting the good of the commun-
ity will be considered and action
taken, if it is deemed necessary.
The first step along this line was
the Endorsement last night OF the
fight of the Woman's club for a po-
lice matron and the signing OF a
petition skiing the city council that
a matron be appointed.
d. C. Coates was elected secre-
