James Stewart gave some new and im- portant testimony that will brook up tho evidence of the defence at the last trial that old man ankey wore boots much smaller than those taken from the prisoner and said to be his father's.

It was situated about half way up and on the southern side in order to protost it from the cold northern winds of wintc. School opened with four pupils. all of whom came from the only house within two miles of the place. Soon, however. the attendance begun to increase as the fact of tho school‘s existence got noised abroad through the country. Grown men who had come to Texas when boys and who had lived on the frontier without «locational advantages would come to school to Miss Quinn in order to redeem their lost time. It must have been an interesting sight to see the little room crowded with big, beardâ€" cd cowboys poring over their books. They probably had spurs jingling st their heels and big six shooters dangling from their belts. but the black haired little Indian- Irish womsn was mistress. for all that. On one occasion a big six footer refused to obey some command she bad You him. Going to the old flour sack n which she kept acollectlon of her miscellaneous he- longings, she gathered up n handful of black pepper. She had probably prepared this for just such emergencies, and before her recalcitrant pupil knew what was com- ing she threw the pepper square into his eyes. The bully sprung to his feet witlio roar of pain, while the rest of the school shouted uproar-ions approval of the act of discipline. Trouble might have arisen, but before the fellow’s eyes were (.‘lclu‘ enough to see hmv to shoot, bad he been so in- clined, n. dozen of the devotees of learning grabbed him by arms, logs and other avail- ; able portions of his anatomy and cnrrir-d him bodily to the foot of the peak. He was then informed that if he ever entered the schoclroom again or in any wny mcr lcstcd the teacher there Would boa feast for buzzer-(ls and coyotes. Thus was one . unruly pupil “expelled.” and there is no ' evidcnco that any similar case ever come up ngnm. The teacher always had it loaded rifle «is ting in the corner of the sciuxdroom during sclmnl hours and had it slum: behind hcr smldlc us she rode. She was it {rut-loss ridcr and un unerring shut. There was a general : lmpl't-i'ailon thatsbe would .ulmnl. to kill if necmmry. and it was probably well found- ed, though then- is no record of llf‘f‘f‘VEl’ E having actually justified it. ’l'lnore won one loud moullud, blatant blackguurd munmi Starks. who was once heard to make filthy remarks in regard to the teacher and to llililflb of his personal powvrs of fascination for women generally. One night, shortly ‘ afterward, his riderch mustang came up to the much win-re Starks hud lN‘i‘ll wurkr " lug. Nobody evor happened to find the body. and nobody cared to look for it. After the school at the pool; had been going on for about two years a singular smu- of affairs gradually arose. The fume ’ of lwr school had “one out over till the sur rounding country.

They would come to her to settle all disputes and would always respect her decision. If any given man felt inclined to resist her decision, such feeling was useless. as evory other man felt honor bound to help enforce it. if a question arose as to the ownership of stock. the parties would bring the cattloor horses involved It to the peak. Each claimant would state h s side of the case and call on any one also he might choose to substantiate it. if necessary. a glance '01th be taken at the brands on the stock. Then came the decision. from which there was no appeal. If a man was soo pound of stealing stock or of committing murder. the was the some. The prisoner told his story. and his captors told theirs.

Doubtleso they were unable to tell whether it was defend- ed by one person alone or by more. Doubt; in, when they had drawn nearer and were prepared to make the last fatal rush. she dropped her title and used her heavy six shooter with deadly effect. Certain it is that she was game to the last. Finally the last cruel rush was made. and the brave teacher queen had given her life for those of her subjects. All this took time. and time was valuable just then. There were not more than three or four families than living wlthin several mllm of the peak. and the boy messenger had ample time to notify them and get them hidden in the timbered bank offihc crock. It must have been after nightfall i when the summit of the peak was finally stormed. and about 10 o’clock a force of men came galloping in from Clear creek, having heard of thethroatcned attack. The Indians still remaining left under cover of the night. Next morning the settlers visited the peak. There, behind a big bowlder on the very summit they found Ellen Quinn. the . prairie (luecn. still’ and cold in death. Her body had been pierced by half a damn bul‘ lots, and her scalp had been taken. lime and six shooter were both missing.

I had been afflicted with a species of rslvsio caused by the rupture of a b 00d vessel over the ri ht eye. and which stopped the cir- cu ation of the blood on the left side. I was at that. time employed as a book-keeper by Messrs. Lacaillado Bros, Lawrence. Mass. The doctor had advised a change of work so as to hoveless mental and more physical exercise ThisI resolved upon, but dehydtoo longae I did not leave until the following October. Arrived at mydcstinntion I perceived symp- toms of my previous illness making themsdves felt once more. I went at once to a. local physician who declared himself unable to understand my case. Hoivever, he gave me some medicine to ease the pain I felt in my hood, particularly at night. This afforded me relief for a. few minutes. and sometimes enabled me to get a little sleep, but the awakening was always worse than before. Go the last. of October I went to bed as usual after taking my medicine as directed, and slept the whole night. but the follow- ing morning on trying to rice I found myself so weak that I could not stand and could scarcely speak. My wife. surprised to see me in such a. slate, ran to a neighbor’s and requested him to go for a doctor and the priest. The doctor arrived nlmost immedi- ately, but could not afford the the slightest rcliei. The priest then ar- rived, and seeing the condition I was in, told me my case was critical and to prepare. for death. 0n the follow- ing day both the priest and the doc- tor adv/iced my wife to telegraph to my friends, as they considered death approaching, and two days later my two brothers arrived. The doctor then asked if I preferred that. be shouldliold a. consultation with on- otlicr phynmian, and on my replying in the affirmative, he telegraphed to n. doctor living at a distance of about liftcnn miles. They both came to see me, asked some questions and retired forcousultnlio". The result of this was that my wife was told that I could not possibly not better. Said the doctor to her, “with the greatest pmsible cure he cannot live a your." \Vlien my wife told me this I deterâ€" mined to pay the declare and discon. tinuc their services. It coat me about $30 to bear this verdict. Two or three weeks passed without any im- provement in my condition and I was so weak I could barely move around the house with the aid of a cane. ()nc dry I noticed a. parcel lying on the table Wrapped in a newspaper. Having nothing better to do I began to read it, and after a while came across an article headed “Miraculous Cure.” Iresd it. and the longer I read the more interested I became. because I saw the case of the person referred to resembled my own in many respects. When I finished the article [saw that the cure had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It seemed as though there was s struggle within me between the facts I had read and my own incredulit , so smell was the faith Iliad in me i- cines advertised in the papers. I read the article and rc-rosd it several a I seemed to hear the doctor‘s ' times. wurds“bo cannot live a your," and then I saw the effects of Dr. Williama' Pink Piils in the case I had just rend about. The result of these reflections Was that I decided to give Pink Pills a. trial. and I immediately wrote the Dr. Williams‘ Medicine 00. for a supply. On their arrival I commenced using them according to directions, and before the first box was done I found they wore helping me. and it was not long before I was able to walk to the village. a distance of half' mile, without the aid of a cane, and I was rapidly gaining health and strength. At the time I was taken sick I weighed 212 pounds, and at the time I began the use of the Pick Pills X was reduced to 162 pounds, a loss of 50 pounds in a little more than a month. I took the pills for about three months and in that time I gained 40 pounds. To day I am as well so I ever was in my life. end my recovery is due entirely to the use of Dr. Williams' 'Pink Pills and I cannot roeommendthem too highly to those who do not enjoy the blessing of per- fect health.
