Stronghold Fortified.

Another fear which tended to increase
the predicament Of the federal troops
was that the rebel forces, which now
hold sway over great section of the
north, would not long allow Ojinaga to
stand until molested. The necessity Of
repIrovisioning the army was apparent,
and unless this could be done at once
the troops would be insu1fciently pro-
vided against possible rebel attack.
1t was thought that General Villa, who
recently occupied chihuahua, would

erals.

lean thlevry and Mexican insults along
the border line between that state
and the land OF hidalgo descended

Possibly very few of those writ
ers thus condemning the Texas go' .
crnor's action, are aware of the real
state of affairs "along the Mexican
border" Also possibly very few of
those writer's are aware that the
general opinion as entertained by the

the commanding officers, Governor
Colquitt did not sit down and satisfy
himself by telling the constituency
which elected him that he had done
his duty In place Of this he did
what was in his power to protect his
peonle. Knowing that, in case Of war

Texas on account Of its geographical

o deep and groveling respect for gold

shown that he will do all that lies in
his power to protect the people who
made him their chief executive.
without either attempting to defend
Colquitt's action (and it needs no de-

suggest that the editorial writer's OF

with the Tallawana Heights company
was referred to, and how this hill
had been truncated to furnish stone
for many of the buildings and earth
for grading. Dick stated that this
hill was the logical point from which
to get the earth as it rose just back
of the penitentiary, but stated thai
the owners were trying to hold him
up. He therefore organized COM
company and bought the land, result
ing in a mutual benefit to the state
and the company He stated that he
took an active part in the company
in order to get others interested and
that as soon as he could he sold his
interest. The result of the scheme,
he stated, had saved the state thous-
ands of dollars, as the material was
brought to the site of the prison by
gravity and that no other locality
could have been used for the pur-
pose without irreparable injury to
the land, or could furnish the great
amount of material needed.
Questioned on his trusty system
and charge of allowing the prisoners
to 20 at large in citizens clothes
Dick denied that they went at large
but admitted that large percent of
the inmates were given considerable
freedom. He stated that forty per-
cent of the men were TRUSTEES, hav-
ing been put in the penitentiary foc
some act of sudden passion. He saiu
that when they agreed to the rigid
requirements of the trusty, they
were treated with considerable leni-
ency. If a prisoner wants to meet
his mother or wife at the train, he
said they were allowed to go to the
station alone in citizens clothes. The
witness stated that there had been
the fewest examples where the trust
had been violated and affirmed that
a revolt in the McAlester penitentia-
ry would be impossible for the reas-
on that the trusted men would not
stand for it.
