markable case Of longevity and also a
striking coincidence" said Mr.. B. T.
Morris Of the firm of Morris Bros, to
the Gazette man Saturday, "is that OF
William Hoyle, a highly respected old
colored man who lives In the vicinity
Of Dallas, enjoying life at the age OF
95, and old Beck, a mule that was
once slick and black, that has attain
ed to the unusual age for a mule Of
56 years. Both man and mule have
spent their lives thus far in the COM
munity in which they now live. The
remarkable feature in this case, how
ever, aside from the unusual ages OF
both the man and the mule. Is that
about SO years ago the mule was
broken to work by William. Now in
their old age both man and beast
through the munificence Of Mr., Puett
Hoffman, whose wards they are, en-
joy immunity from work. William Is
able to get around pretty we'll and,
with his pipe and his mule, seems to
enjoy life immensely"
