Awful Surprise for Us

Heck Piper paid the Bugle offs a
pleasant call tother day, also doller
on his back subscripshion which boosts
Hecks Bugle up to Jan. l, 1891.
1t was turrible surprise to us to
have Heck walk into our offs and
plank down a dollar on subscripshion
of his own free will, being as Heck
is as tite as the bark to a tree and
harder to git money out of than a
turnip is to git blud out of Here
tofore we allus regarded Heck as a
dead beat but sinst the above happend
we have changed our mind a dollers
worth ennyhow and we trust Heck viii
continue to repeat the operashion unit
he is paid up to date.
Let others who is behint on thei
subscriptions from to IS yrs profit
by Hecks example and do likewise.

committee for this Unexpected
homer which was thrust upon us
by our Teller citizens who has stitch
awful faith in our capabilitty & in
tegritty and ashured them that we
would think the matter over & give
our anser in this ishue of the Bugle.
After matoor deliberashion we
have desided that all things con-
sidered we had better refuse this
homer. If we would run we have
no doubt we would be eleckted and
if eleckted we would endeavor to
perform the duties of this high offs
to the best of our several ability,
but we fear them funds entrusted
10 our care would allus be a thorn
in our flesh and scorch holes in our
pockets.
Jest as like as not during some
turrible attack of financial strin-
gency to which we be subjeckt
now and then when we have obi
Cushions to meet and don't know
where in Sam Hill our next doller
is comm from to meet e1rl-we say
that in stitch circumstances as them
the temptashion would be too
mulch for us-we would probly dip
into the town funds to tide us over
the emergency expecktin of course
he reimburse the town funds later
& later find ourself unable to do
so. Then there would be a skandal
& we would be disgrased
Not only that, but we have our
hands purity full as it is & don't feel
that we have the time to devote
to being town treasurer As
editor and prop of the Bugle, also
foreman, tipesetter, mailer, jerker

We wish it DISTINCTLY under

The main st through Bingville is tur-
rible muddy at the present writing and
Hen Weathersby prop of our general
store has showd his ushual enterprise
by layin down long plank acrost the
road in front of his store so that his
custummers from tother side of the
st can cross over 6 back without wad-
in in the mud half way to their knees.
Well last Friday about 10 o'clock in
the morning Ebenezer Hoover who was
|81 yrs old his last birthday and purity
spry for his age started to walk acrost
the plank from the store to tother side
of the st at the same time that Melch-
isadek Watkins who is going on 70 yrs
started to cross the plank lords the
store
There has been bad blud betwixt Eb
and Mel ever sinst last summer when
Mel's sheepdog lickt the packin outen
spoke to each other sinst. Well, when
Mel and Eb met out in the middle of
that narrer plank with no room to
pass and the mud hub deep on both
sides of EN-, they stopt and glared at
each other like a cupple of old tom
cats on a fence
You git outen my way!" says Mel
q wont nutherl" says Eb. I've got
as mulch right on this plank as you
haveI" says Mel. But you amt got
no moren that says Eb Don't fer
git that my dog lickt your dog" says
Mel That amt no sign you kin lick
me- says Eb
By this time they was both mad as
a cupple of wet hens and was ashakin
their fists under each others noses and
wavin their arms and screechin at each
other loud enuff to be heerd all over
town.
Mel begged Eb to hit him LIST and
Eb done the same to Mel Finally
Eb pranced leetle mite too clost to
the edge of the plank and his foot
slipt off. Then he grabd Mel to keep
from fallin and both fel! kerslap into
the mud where they wallerd and
scratchd at each other until both was
coverd with mud from head to foot
inclooding their hair and whiskers. In
the scrimmage they lost their hats and
tramped EN- outen sight into the muck
Seth Dewberry our lion harted town
constubble who was in Hens store when
the fife started rusht out after they
had fell into the mud. Seth stood on
the plank and told EN- if they diddent
stop litin he would Arrest EN- both for
disturbin the peace, incloodin a salt
G. battery & conduck unbecoming a
gentleman Seth would of separated
EN- but he diddent like to git out into
the mud.
After Eb and Mel was both outen
breth they let go of each other and
retired to the sidewalk in different
direckshions. Then they dispersd to
their various two homes
Two old men who are in the sun
down of their lifes, as we might say,

But instid of being ashamed each one

A UNEXPECTED HOMER


Tother afternoon about 2 p. M.

zens of Bingville consisting of Cy

shion.
They informed us that Hink
Barclay who is the present town
treasurer and has a nounced that
he is agoing to run for re-eleck-
shion amt satisfactory to the voters
of Bingville, being as when Hink
was eleckted to offs there was a
balants of ST, "a cts, also some pos

ali of which publick funds was
turned over to Hink, whereas now
their amt only $3.50 cts & no
stamps in the treasury at the close
of the current fskal VI & that Hank
cant explain what has became of
the differents betwixt S1194 and
S6.S2 (whatever that isl to say
uothink of where the stamps has
went to.
It is the general belief that Hink
has appropriated the town funds
for his own personal use being as
he has allus seemd to have money
in his pocketbook ever sinst he tux
offs. Not only that but only 2
wks ago his wife apeard in church

ask, did the money come from to

Funeral Held For Victims
tEL PASO TINES

afternoon as the Thirteenth Caval-
nv Band played softly, Nearer, My
God to Thee" while the bodies of
Pancho Villas msssacred victims
we're placed aboard the train.
The military ceremonies proceed
ing the entraining of the eleven
caskets, five containing civilians
and six soldiers-were more than
impressive. They were heart
breaking. They began shortly af'
ter o in the hollow square fac
ing the camp headquarters. The
six caskets placed three in line on
the ground were fronted by the e
gimental band. To the left stood
the officers of the regiment drawn
up in single file. At n end of
this line was General Pablo Ber-
TAM. commander Of the Carranza
garrison at Palomas, At the other
end was Colonel Herbert j. Slo-
cum, commander of the regiment.
Five troops, dismounted, were
drawn up in short lines on the
side.
Only three of the caskets were
draped with the Stars and Stripes
because there was not enough flags
to cover all. One of these flags
was torn in several places where
Mexican bullets struck it during
the battle Thursday,
Behind the caskets stood two of
the troop horses, with their sad
dies draped in black and their
stirrups reversed. The troop gui-
dons Of red and white also snap
ped in the breeze, but they were
also decorated in black, Before
the caskets stood Chaplain S. NJ,
Iutz, Bible in hand
In a voice trembling with emo
ton Chaplain Lutz paid a tribute to
the men who had died in the de-
Tense of Columbus and its inhabi-
tants. His sermon was brief, and
it ended with the Lords prayer.
Then the troops fell in line, and
headed by the band, marched to
the railway station. While the
soldiers loaded the remains OF
their comrades aboard, civilian,
lifted five caskets containing civil
liam dead, into the coach Into
Pullman was lifted Mrs. J. J
Moore, who was wounded durinl
the fighting. In the baggage cal
ahead was the body of her hus
band, who was killed by the ban
dts. Mrs. Moore was on a stretch
er.
At last the task of loading wa.
done and there was a cry of "al

lv off and the music of "Neare
Nv God to Thee" was heard again
On the observation car sat tw
women and a LITTLE girl, crying
