Probably the first cattle ever rails

H. Hunter, paymaster for the kirby
Lumber company, were bred by ms
grandfather, DR.. Johnson Hunter,
on the johnson Hunter league near
Morgan's Point This was about the
year 1922, following DR.. Hunter
removal to Texas from the banks OF
the Mississippi in Missouri.
Thomas Hunter says often he had
heard his father tell of the earlier
days of his grandfather, of his i'm
migration to Texas, and later of the
trials of pioneer life in what was
then the great far West. - Follow

reared in Charleston, where he mar

of the Mississippi in Missouri. The
exact point Mr. Hunter does not re-
member, but it was somewhere near
the lower part of the State, and his
point had been an important trad
ing landing. There he established a
merchandising business, but because
of i'll success purchased boat and

cient to stock small store, set sall

Following his arrival at New Or
leans he purchased a fairly large,
sound. coasting vessel and transfer
red his goods to that, towing the
smaller boat in which he had negotl-
ated the river. Setting sail from New
Orleans hr coasted down the coasts
of Louisiana and Texas, entering
Galveston and Trinity Bay in the
spring of 1921 and making for the
tut of land now known as Morgan
Point. Crossing the bay, LaF1tte,
the pirate, seized upon the larger
boat containing the supplies of mer-
chandise, leaving him with the small
Ter boat and the few household eff
fects it contained.
DR.. Hunter, not discouraged by
his reception in the new country, es-
tablished himself on the point, build
ing a house and setting up a trading
station. His honest dealings soon
won favor among the Indians, and
he worked up quite business Will

ways understood that these were tn

A short time later DR. Hunter

Rostaing, who had been working in
the fields, came running down the
street with pitchfork in his hand.
Before he could enter the house
Joseph and Camille were down the
stairs and out of it. Charles and the
gendarmes rushed at them. 1t is
against French law for gendarmes
to enter house unless the household
er asks formally for their assistance.
For ten minutes the two desperadoes,
Joseph and Camille Rostaing, stood
back to back in the village street and
fought for their lives. When their re-
volvers were emptied they used the
butts with deadly effect, and two
gendarmes and half a dozen villagers
were badly hurt But numbers over
came the brothers in the long run, and
they were roped together, back to

.JEWELER
SAVED FROM SUICIDE

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-A man,
who gave his name as Robert Mar
guard, sixtytwo years old, of Raleigh,
N. c., walked into the jewelry store of
Sickles &c Sons, 726 Chestnut street
and opening a valise, calmly announc-
ed that he was about to commit sui
eide. He then took from the valise
thirty-eight caliber revolver, a long
dagger, a bottle of carbolic acid, a
razor and package labeled cyanide
of potassium. While laying these dead
ly articles out on the counter, he ex-
planned to the amazed clerk that he
was a matchmaker, but had been "up

understanding the two chalked their
cues, and the game for these borri-
| bic stakes began.
They had been alone in the safe at
/ it's beginning. But both were good
players. Several looked in to watch
them play, and before long there were
dozen persons in the room. The
brothers had started their game on an
absinthe apiece. AS the points crept
up both drank a good DEAL and as they
drank the two began TO talk of what
they meant to do and what the stakes
were. AS Camille made his last shot
he threw down his cue and shouted
to Joseph: I'D just as soon you killed
the old man. killing Charles will be
rather a joke than otherwise
A man slipped out of the cafe and
rar to warn the gendarmes. There
are only three of them at Montalieu-
Vercieu, but these were ready Camille
and Joseph took no notice of them or
of the frightened crowd which had col
lected round their fathers house. Each
of the reprobates carried a drawn re-
volver in his hand, and, entering the
cottage, set to work to smash, meth
odically, every piece of furniture and
everything of any vaIue on which they
could lay hands.
Charles Rostaing was not there
when his brothers came. Their faith

But presently Joseph Rostaing snatch

the pieces out of the open first floor

father forgot fear and everything ex-
cept his righteous anger, and, i'll
though he was, rushed at his son.
Joseph laughed.

Rostaing would not call the police
in and have his sons imprisoned, but
he went to see the mayor of the vii

and asked him to help him. The
brothers were forced to leave home.
One evening Camille conceived a

PARIS, Nov. 1.-two brothers
Joseph and Camille Rosttaing, are in
prison in Grenoble for the attempted
murder of their father and their broth
er, and for assaulting the police. Both
Camille and Joseph have been in pri-
son more than once, and hated, with
the hatred of bad men, their brother
Charles, who is a decent fellow, and
works hard to keep roof over his
fathers head and his own.
One day the young convicts found
the place where Gustave Rostaing
kept his savings, a wooden stocking
stuffed in an old butter jar, robbed it,
