SALUTED C0L0RS He LOVED
Patriotic Action Of Old Man Made
Deep Impression On Soldiers
From the Front

There is SO much that Is painful and
distressing about war that every sol
dieT who has served at the front must
bring back with him many memories
that he would gladly forget. But there
are gracious and touching incidents as
well, one Of which a Companion subs
scriber who fought through the Civil
war thus recalls:
Just after the second Battle Of Pull
Run and that Of Chantilly, while the
Union army lay near Alexandra and
Talrfax Court House, a certain Mas
saehssetts battery was ordered back
to Washington to help garrison the
capital.
"On the outskirts Of Alexandria the
column was halted, with its head OPP
posite a little story-and-a-half cottage
surrounded by an unDainted picket
fence. AS the halt was ordered, the
door Of the cottage opened. and old.
white-haired man came down the
steps toward the road with his hand
raised toward the flag was was car
ried as the guidon Of the battery
THE color-bearer released the star
from its socket and lowered It to the
ground, and the old man, who had by
this time come up to the line drew
the flag toward him. reyerently raised
It to bis lips, turned and without Q
word walked back into house.
The incident made deep impress
zion on the men who saw 1t. It meant
more to those soldiers, who were
tearing the brunt Of a hard campaign.
than a score Of eloquent addresses on
patriotism and the love Of country.
Who the old man was we never knew. =

FATHER HAS A RIGHT
TO DEFEND DAUGHTER.


Oklahoma City, Sept, %. That
father has a right to slay in defense
Of his daughter, was the decision hand
ed down BY Chief Justice OF the Grim
inal Court OF Appeals Henry N. Fur
man. in reversing the five year SEN
tenee imposed upon G N. Litchfield
Of Wynnewood, for killing William
Collins, while in the act Of assaultlng
bis daughter.
The chief justice in reversing the
lower court said I'VE cannot imag-
Inc more grieyous affliction that
can befall d father than to witness
the attempt to debauch his daughter.
Such an act would cause the trees and
stone to call out shame and light the
fires Of hell in his heart. and cause
his reason to reel and stagger. To
every true father bis daughter is the
core Of his heart, the JOY ana inspira
tion Of his life He would suffer a
thousand deaths to save her from
shame
Collins had lured Ltchfield's 16
year-old daughter to lake near
Wynnewood and attempted to assault
her, when her father came upon them
and shot Collins dead.

NO NEW CASES
At RELIANCE
Mr.. A. w. Cloud, Who Made the Re.
port, States After investigation
That II Is Not True.

Mr.. A. w. Cloud of the Reliance
community was in the city today and
called on The Eagle. He came in sole
ly for the purpose of having the re-
port Of two new cases of meningitis
made by himself two days ago, cor
rected.
Mr.. Cloud stated today that he was
one Of the trustees of the Reliance
school, and that the report of two
new cases Of meningitis was made
Monday from what was considered to
be reliable authority. Some of the pa.
irons of the school spoke to him about
it, and thought the school and COM
munity were endangered, and some re-
port should be made of it. Acting on
the report and advice of patrons he
came to town and made the report.
After returning home he heard that
it was denied that any new cases ex-
listed. He thereupon made an investi-
cation for himself and found that the
report of the two new cases was utter
ly without foundation. That there
were now no cases in that community,
and had been none except the two
first cases which were reported in
Bryan on last Saturday by Dr. w. F.
Odom, the attending physician.
The Eagle is glad to publish this
statement from Mr.. Cloud, as it will
correct a very serious and harmful re-
port and will allay all fear Of danger
from that community, which was be-
ginning to be widespread.

Mr.. ". B. ROMAN DEAD.
Another Of Bryan's Highly Respected
Citizens Entered Into
Rest.

Mr.. w. B. Roman died at his home
in this city at 4:30 o'clock this morn.
ing after long illness. He had been
in failing health for two or three years
but had continued in his accustomed
duties as bookkeeper for the firm with
which he was engaged until about two
weeks ago, since which time he had
been confined to his home. For the
past several days he had been critic
ally i'll until the end came at the hour
stated.
William Buchanan Roman was born
at Abbeville, S. c., December 5, 1861,
aged so years, / month and 10 days.
He came to Bryan in 1888 when a
young man and this city had been his
home continuously since. He was for
long time bookkeeper for j. w. Eng
lish while he was engaged in the gro
Gerry business, and since then held re-
sponsible positions with several OF
Bryans mercantile firms. His last en-
gagement, which he held until forced
to remain at his home by illness, was
bookkeeper for Hensarling Bros.
Mr.. Roman was one of Bryan's very
best men. He was quiet and retiring
but of noble, generous, charitable
nature, and his good deeds, his charity,
his ministering to the sick, his service
wherever he could be of any assist
ance, was limited only by his ability.
There was no time, no occasion, no
circumstance when Billie Roman was
not ready and willing to go and do all
in his power for his fellow-man. These
noble traits OF character, connected
with his honorable, upright life, won
for him the honor and respect of all
his fellowmen.
He was united in marriage on March
10, 1901, W MISS AllSS JSuhiuS VI thio
city, and is survived by his widow and
two children, Mrs. S. /. Dunn of Port
Arthur and William B. Roman, Jr., of
this city. His bereaved family have
the profound sympathy Of all in their
great sorrow.
Mr.. Roman was a member Of st.
Andrews Episcopal church, of the An
cient Order of United Workmen and
Woodmen of the World.
The funeral was held from his late
home this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
with interment following in the city
cemetery.
The services at the home were con-

administration at Read G. Stuart's.
