by Indians or outlaws, and he thawed
out and became very sociable-
John Ford explained afterward that
he thought he was the man to be
buried and had made up his mind that
others in the party also would be
buried When he heard Dean say:
Here is the dead one" Ford says he
slipped out his pistol and was ready
to do business with the first man who
looked at him But that when he saw
a dead man beside the road. he felt a
great relief and was really so happy
that ne wanted all hands 10 take
several drinks at his mistake.
Made Mistake.
In after years, Mai. Zimpeiman
laughed at what he called being held
up BY John Ford. But when Ford said
he would keep all OF the money. the
major knew his man and realized he
had spoken too quickly. John Ford
had the reputation OF not being afraid
OF anything.
My attention has been called TO the
fact that there was no Fort Bliss in
1877 and that no soldiers were stationed
al FL PasO at that time. consequently
the United States troops sent to san
Elizario and who took one Of the Nc
Ginty cannon with them. came from
some post near by.
Another point on which my inform
ant was mistaken was when he said
that Judge Howard came direct from
san ElizariO and hot Luis Cards II
leased by the san Elizario mob. came
10 IL PasO and then went into New
Mexico and spent some tine before lie
returned and killed Cards on account
Of some threat he heard Cards mad
made.

J. N. Dean who was then driving a

who died last year. told on himself.
Ford, the veteran cattleman and In

went down 70 san Elizario with the
rangers in 1877 TO arrest those who,
in violation OF the order OF court. per
sisted in taking salt from the lakes.
After the fight at San Elizario was
over and Mr.. Zimpelman's title 10 the
lakes was recognized. Mr.. Zimpelman
contracted with John Ford to go out
to the lakes, pitch his tent there and
collect from all who went there for
salt Under the terms 0, the contract,
John Ford was to remain at the salt
lakes two years and was 20 get one

n friendship for Morris Sheppard.
- United States senator from
Texas, and a recent tribute in The
Houston Chronicle will find a ready

OF Texas have received equal consid-
Grafton at his hands Mr.. Sheppard Is
Z friend that Ell Paso appreciates
The following Is what the Chronicle
says Of him:
Senator Morris Sheppard is rapidly
becoming national figure. This is
not due to his stand on prohibition so
much IS 10 the mastery manner IN
which he has handled that question in
congress.
Unless president Wilson steps IN
with a veto. Mr.. Sheppard viii have
made the City Of Washington dry,
which is an accomplishment that
seemed well nigh Impossible only a few
years ago
However Texans may disagree with
him on this particular question they
can hardly help feeling A united pride
in his skill and success.
Barring accident. he is one OF the
coming statesmen OF this country. and
has already done much to add distiuc-
tion to the name OF Texas.
The Chronicle counts II q privilege
to endorse such a man, whose clean
ness of character and upriEhtness OF
mind. coupled with a constantly in

tors from this great commonwealth

Of manhood he represents type
which has been somewha too incOn-
