The Argentinian Is very popular

When it was recalled to the
Countess that. at the time OF her
divorce, she said she would marry
an American If she took another
husband, she laughed as she replied

vOus, cOnspired to have his followers cap
tured by federal and state authorities. He
had hoped, evidently, to in this manne
fOrego any possible future trouble with
the men. These plans, however, went amiss
and the men remained at liberty.
Peale bore a reputation Of being an un-
usually clever gunman. He was desperate
and absolutely void Of fear; but in these
qualifications his men were, almOst with
out exception, his equal; and all had taken
oath that they would follow Peale so long
as any one Of them survived, and that his
life alone would atone for the injustice he
had committed.
A Voyage of Revenge
Not many weeks following his sudden
departure, word reached the Quantrell men
that Peale had gone to Montana. 1t once
they decided to follow him, and their plan
of procedure was characteristic of the life
they had led. On the Red river, which
flows from Texas dow through Louisiana,
they discovered a sizeable, light-dFaft river
boat, the Richmand. This they 'cOmman-
deered one night at it's mornings. Negro
hremen and deck n were pressed into
service the boilers were steamed up, and
the craft was started down the river to-
ward the Gulf of Mexico. They made the
boat pay its way by carrying passengers
and freight from town to town. In the
course of a short time they entered the
gulf where they retraced their way north
ward up the Mississippi, bound for Mon
tana.
Young H. ]. WackerIin
There was but one MOntanan who was
actually familiar with the real story of the
Richmond. That was H. J. Wackerlin,
father-in-law of Federal Judge Charles N.
Pray. For fifty years Mr.. Wackerlin was
a resident of Fort Benton, engaged most
of the time in the general mercantile bust
ness.
1t was in the summer of 1867 that the
then seventeen year-old Wackerlin, living
with his parents at st. Joseph, Mo-, made

The west held a lure which he could not
evade. He was saving his money to pay
his fare up the river, and waited only the
time when this sum would reach the
amount required to defray his passage on
one Of the up-bOund boats.
One day a strange river steamer dOcked
at the st. Joe wharf, and the Wackerlin
youth strOlled down to look it over. Thu

On open mind and an inclination to
speak it, Stanley Harris got right
down to brass knuckles with the
writer today and released The follow.
Ing thoughts about the Washington
Senators of 1927:
That Walter Johnson will be avail
able by May ], but that the club IS
disposed to depend on him less this
year than in any other Of his major
league career.
That iris Speaker looks like q cool
million; that the story about his eyes
being bad is the nnmitigated bunk,
as evidenced by his .53S batting aver
age in training camp games to date;
that Speaker knows more baseball
than he, Stanley Harris himself,
does. and that Speaker is going out
ol his way to help the young players
on the club; that Speaker will play
major league baseball for at least
Two seasons, not one.
That the Senators have the
greatest collection of young
pitchers Harris ever has seen: SO
good, in fact, that he fears it
may be his painful duty to part
company with man who is
listed among his first-line pitch
ers.
That John Berger, of Lake Charles
Las, will be his second catcher and
might be his first, if only the young
man could hit, which. seemingly,
he cannot.
That Hollis Thurston, acquired
BY barter from the Chicago White
Sox, is a smart pitcher and Buddy
Myer great young hitter.
He then proceeded to add to
these observations such mlscel-
ianeous data as the fact that, good
as Bob Reeves looks at shortstop,
Myer looks better; that Oliver
Tucker and Sam West, up from
New Orleans and Birmingham. re-
spectively, are fine young out
fielders. of which he really needs
none at all. and that, barring a
general collapse of his pitching, he
doesn't see how he can go wrong.
