the border if he asked fer them.
General Funston reported that the
best information he could gather in
dicated that the raids in Cameron,
Hidalgo and Starr counties were di-
rected by Texans having headquar-
ters at Brownsville, who, having a
political feud, sent bandit gangs to
rob and attack each Other. Secretary
Garrison expressed doubt that MeXi-
cans from over the border were re-
sponsible for all the disturbances and
emphasized that the troubles had no
connection with internal affairs in
Mexico.
Conditions on the border" said
Mr.. Garrison, "have no political sig
nificance. Lawless people are using
this time of excitement TO plunder
and steal, and we are not sure that
all the lawbreakers are MeXicans.
Some of them we know are not"
Further strengthening of the border
forces will take virtually all avail
able regular troops in the country.
Officials today were considering
whether it might not become neces-
sary to use the National Guard
should the situation take on more
serious proportions.
1t was pointed out that some of the
disturbances take place many miles
from the border and well into Texas.
Such a situation. officials say, should
be met by the police powers Of the
state. In the absence of any call

unable to control the situation and

him out as his introductor. The Colo

like six or seven dollars in few min

A short mention of the fact that
man in distress had been assisted by
the chamber of commerce, appeared in
yesterdays issue of the Ardmoreite,
and when DR.. Butler read it, his sus-
picions became aroused This morn
ing he came to the office and related
his story, stating at the time that all
might be well, but the action of San
ders in obtaining the money from him
and then relating to Col. Suggs that
he was absolutely without funds, led
them to believe that there was some
thing rather irregular in the opera
tions of friend Sanders.
DR.. Butler stated that from now
on all his giving would be through
the Benevolent Society, while no ex-
preston has been received from those
of the chamber of commerce who have
been digging" for years and viii per-
haps continue to do so in the future,

ATA BILLY SUNDAY REVIVAL.

Whenever a person blows into the
city, throws a few sobs into his voice
and turns on the tear glands to their
capacity, he, she, or they, can always
get a sympathetic hearing and in
cidentally gather the necessary coin
to take them to some destination that
requires the expenditure of a few dol
lars in railroad transportation.
Such an incident happened here
Tuesday, and while everything may
be on the level, and the party of the
first part be in earnest about making
good, appearances are altogether
against his doing so, and the chances
are that one benevolent pastor of this
city has been separated from four and
one-half perfectly good dollars that he
will never see again.
1t happened in this wise. Tuesday
afternoon a party giving his name as
Sanders, arrived in the city over the
Santa Fe from the harvest fields of
Kansas, together with his wife and
children. He stated that owing to
illness all his money was gone when
he arrived, and as he was on his way
to a brother east of here on the Frisco,
he was at loss what to do, until the
idea of approaching a minister of the
gospel suggested itself to him, and he
put said idea into execu-
tion. Just how he happened to single !
out Rev. DR.. Butler of this city will |
always remain a mystery, perhaps he
is the first one he saw. At any rate he /
applied to him about $50 Tuesday |
afternoon and recited his pitiful plight |
stating that the wife and children had |
not eaten since morning. and that !
four and one-half dollars would pro-
vide them with the necessary food
and purchase transportation to their |
destination. |
His earnest appeal was not long in :

In the early seventies, Indianola. on

metropolis ot some 10000 people
Indianola. by many was considered
the coming port OF the Texas coast.
Even al That tine IT'S exports and i'm
ports were " considerable volume.
Tt was q city Of lovely homes and an
euterprising prosperous people,
Inls76. we believe IL was, disastrous
storm swept the Gulf coast.
The loss of life and damage 70 prop
erty was large.
Thousands of It's inhabitants deserted
Indianola and moved inland.
But the majority Of its people began
bravely % rebuild and restore the city
From the ruins q greater city arose
not so large IN population perhaps out
full. OF promise.
Then once more il was victim OF
the wrath of the elements.
I'm 1856 another storm. more severe
than il. predecessor visited IL.
Again the little railroad running 70
Victoria carried us freight OF broken
and bruised bodies.
The people fled in terror, deserving
their homes.
But mere handful remained.
The business Of the railroad shrank

AT last the rails were torn up and the
terminus moved 10 Port Lavaca.
One by one the remaining loyal ciu-
zens moved away until there was but q
