A LOST ~OPpORTENITN.

in the story of every mans life there
must be whole chapters if The story
were written out %rclaiin. Ia lost uplnr
tunities; sad chapters. full Of TRACED, IN
most cases. Here j. a story Of - lost
chance in the life al our Governor who
has lust began 10 fight" for wron.cl
Texans. a story which ma, nov fill
him with bitter regrets that he ha> only
just begun.
In the end Of July. 1910. u battle was
fought al San Bcnito. ia Cameron coun
~, between certain State rangers and
some despcradocS from acru<> The river.
Three men were killed IN that fight.
Others were wounded amum. the rangers.
Strange 10 say the Governor Of Texas
did not asrribc that bloody affair tn the
Mexican revolution. This MAY lr due
Ia the fact that the administration III
that time was republican AMI The Sec
rotary of State was not committed 10
soft drinks in the entertainment If his
guests. II may also lw due IA part Ia
the fact that there Was absolutely no
connection between The San l;cnito bat.
tie and Mexican politics.
Certain surgeons of brownsville and
Cameron county dressed the hurts of the
brave men who NJ the call of dut, on
that day fell pierced with the bullets of
ambushcd dc>pcradoc>. Because the
men were hurt i'm the service of the
State. il was believed that the State
would rccompcnSr the Surgeons who
cared for them un that day and later.
People who thought thai had another
think coming. None of the do tors. and
nonc of the wounded men. ~ far -
known. had ever been arrested a~ 4 SPY

either Of them had ever >nurgl"h any

merry chat and old time song, and
last but not least, was the feast that

fairly groaned with good things, as
