(By Maude Martin Evers in The Chicago
Tribune.)


MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May 10
(Special) We'll, now, who do you suppose
the latest arrivals are in Mount Clemens,
Mich? And they did not come to take the
baths-not by long shot.
The boys from the Texas border, down
around Brownsville. came here to testify
at the little red brick courthouse with the
bell in the steeple that tells each passing
hour.
The 1:l6 car swung around the corner,
and there, swarming on the steps and scat
tered through the car about sixteen of the
hardest Texas border men and four Of
Texas. gentlest women, and their baggage
that you had ever dreamed of.
Yes'm they clambered down often that
car in their high heeled boots, gathered up
their luggage, helped the women into the
hotel and yelled for the sight of something
besides the everlasting water-which they
will continue to yell for in this neck of the
woods
No Time For "Monkeying."
They came here to testify. But do you
know those lawyers wore out three sets Of
jurors and took day off to think up more
questions and send out scouts for new
set of jurymen? Now these people from
Texas love their sun-baked Mexican rid
died border and they look as if they won't
stand for much monkeying. So perhaps the
lawyers will absorb this fact cease hag
Cling, and proceed to hear the border boys
testimony about the conditions of their
own, their native land (and ours) during
the years rs and 'i6, which may have some
bearing on the Ford Tribune trial, although
he hnr fall
finding out how 50 far.
Palm Beach Suits and Panamas
The weather here is not of the balmy
sort, but more inclined to secrete the rheu-
matte chill, and AIkali Pete. otherwise
known as Mister T. S. Mayfield Of Pharr,
Texas, Hidalgo county, dropped off that
11:l6 car clad in a Palm Beach suit with
large tan plush sailor hat to match, not
to mention his beautiful soft leather riding
boots which do him no good in country
where the sole recreation is taking baths.
A. G. Dowie, United States customs in
spector from Preside county, Texas, wore
q Panama lid of magnificent proportions.
r. c. Wynne, deputy sheriff Of Brownsville
in Cameron county, Texas, stepped along
with ginger in his stride and the light of
stern purpose in his eye.
Ex-Chief Deputy Sheriff c. A. Monahan
of Brownsville threw down his bag and ad-
dressed his companions plaintively: Boys,
wish you would stop kidding me about my
hard blue eye; it's as gentle as a cooling
dove; both of 'em."
Paging For "Sea Cow"
A mild little man twhen not pestered)
Capt T. r. Bishop, San Antonio, Texas.
deputy United States marshal, missed one
of his mates and started to page, 'Sea COW
Boys. Whar's Sea Cow" Sea cow was a
few tons Of hard baked manhood with the
largest sized cream colored sombrero ever
known to man, wearing in the shade of the
hat good natured but MOTTO be trifled with
smile. Hell be nice little boy when he
grows up" was the way the "boys" refer
red to "Sea cow"
There were many others grand look
ing lot of men, men as how there will be no
misunderstanding. regular he-males. Men
who wore no camouflage on their chins
and whose mouths were grim and eyes stea-
dy. Men with stories Of real life to tell
O. what day TO hear them on the witness
stand
From now on the lawyers will not be the
sole attraction for spectators.
The little old Ford Tribune trial Is prom
ising to be the greatest riot that ever
struck Mount Clemens. The court house is
the center Of interest
One guest at hotel left call for 6
a. m. in order to be at court on time. And
promptly at 6, when the first birds were
the guests door.
