LEOPOLD ADIEU,
SAVANNAH, GA.
SAVED LOVER FROM DEATH.
Texan Girl Rescues Sweetheart From
Horrors of Mexicaii ’’Prison.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
Cora Brandon of Texas has just re
turned from a ride into Mexico, where she
rescued her lover from prison. Having
learned that her sweetheart had been put
into jail on a false charge of murder, she
resolved to release him at the hazard of
her own life.
It appears that a wealthy cattleman by
the name of Mosely employed about
twenty Texas cowboys to go with him
down into Old Mexico last fall for the
purpose of bringing a large herd of wild
steers back to Texas. Randal Barrett
made one of this company, though Miss
Brandon tried hard to persuade him to re
meain at home, declaring that she had a
presentment that he would become in
volved in trouble of some character.
These young people had been lovers from
their infancy, and it had been their in
tention to consummate their vows by get
ting married about Christmas. Randal
was courageous and possessed of but li;-
tle superstition, and he laughed at the
fears of his little sweetheart, telling her
that Mosely was offering big wages.
• And you know we can’t have any too
much money to commence housekeeping,”
he said as he galloped away with a light
heart. Miss Brandon received several let
ters from her absent lover, and of course
she was very much troubled when the
tender missives ceased to come. When
the Texans arrived they had bad news
for Miss Brandon. They told her that her
lover, with other cowboys, had attended
a fandango in a iiitle Mexican town, and
that the festivities had ended in a row.
There had been some shooting, and Ran
dal Barrett had been accused of wound
ing a Mexican. “Is that all you have to
say?” said the spirited girl with a look
of scorn that plainly indicated" the con
tempt for a set of cowboys who had de
serted their comrade in a strange coun
try. The Texans insisted that they had
done all they couki for Randal. They
said that they had made up a purse and
employed a good lawyer, and that they
had stuck to their unfortunate companion
during a preliminary trial, which had le
sulted in casting him into jail without
hail, the alcalde having refused to accept
the deposit of a very large sum in gold as
surity for the defendant's further app ar
ance. The lawyer had told them that his
client would certainly be acquitted, but
that he would have to remain in jail to
await trial or at least until the wounded
in,in recovered.
The brave, true-hearted girl was not at
all satisfied with this state of affairs, and
."In* at once determined to learn more of
t! fate of the young man who was all
tic- world to her. Her people did not
know that a cowboy’s Spanish saddle and
• pair of saddle pockets stuffed full of
h r brother’s clothing were concealed be
ii dh her riding dress, and if her own
mother had met her after she emerged
from a thicket only a few miles from her
1 me the old lady might not have recog
nized her daughter. One man who had
known her all his life actually did meet
a short distance from home, and he
“only saw a very fine-looking cowboy,”
he said, “wearing a big sombrero and
v ' ry bright spurs, going toward the Rio
Brande as if he were after a bunch of
mpeded steers.” The dress and the
‘■*drts which had so effectually concealed
I Spanish Fuddle were now carefully
F -wed away in the leather pockets, and
M s ('ora Brandon, with a good revolver
her belt and a stout heart in her
k' om, fell equal to the task of riding
II >ut ?00 miles, half of the distance in a
f "dgn country, for the purpose of help
-11 her lover out of trouble. Her journey
1 the town of Sabinas, In old Mexico, is
1 anted by her as uneventful, but f< w
■'•"mg ladies of her age would look at it
iii.it way. She traveled alone nearly
11 ' the time and often slept out on the
1 in** with the wolves howling about
camp fire. Fortunately she speaks
tnish fluently, and since she is a very
* -nounced brunette, with wondrous big
h eyes, she found little trouble in
' king the rural population take her for
me young caballero. "My only trou-
I ■" she says, “was to keep the Mexican
* from falling in love with me.” Her
affair of any import occurred at *he
1 village of San Juan’, where she
' " i a lot of Mexican vaquorros beloug
* General Trevino's ranch engaged
II drinking mescale. They invited her to
"'i them, and when she refused a big
!I| un seized her pony by the bridle and
~:,i her to dismount, adding with an
b that he proposed to change homes
Ui her. She instantly threw her pistol
1 bis face and ordered him in her most
' 1 • ful and elegant Spanish to release
, bold If he. valued his #llfe. The oher
' xicans laughed and a woman, ran for
vv • I ' l and pushed the desperado away, at
unio time inviting her to dismount
n<l accept some hospitality. Miss Bran
' * >n treated the crowd without dismount
( a, id after inquiring the distance to
Tai La Vegas’ hacienda she galloped
feeling a little nervous,
b* n she reached Sabinas she put up
" a hotel and soon afterward eucceeiel
‘, having an interview with the lawyer
4,0 been employed to defend Kan-
<ial. A little investigation convinced the
young girl that the circumstances sur
rounding her lovers’ case preserved few
encouraging features. The lawyer could
not even tell her when Randal would have
to appear in court for trial. “It might be
a year or maybe two years," he said, “be
fore the honorable court would take up
the matter.” She found the wounded man
and learned from his own lips that he did
no-t know who shot. him. He had never
been badly hurt and he said that he 'elt
sorry for the Americano. Miss Brandon
sought the jailer, who at first positively
refused to permit her to have an inter
view with his prisoner. “I have my
orders,” he said. “I cannot let anyone in
to the prison but the lawyer or one of his
relatives—a mother or his wife or sister."
"His fdster Will be here to-morrow." re
plied the quick-witted girl, and she walkei
away. Miss Brandon devoted the re
mainder of the day to perfecting a plan
for securing the release of her lover,
which might have been dreamed of by a
bold and daring Texan of the type of
Jack Hays or Ben Thomson, but there
are few men even of the desperate class
on the border who would have ventured
to execute It She looked about the lit
tle village, where, fortunately, her pres
ence attracted little attention, from the
fact that it is located in the midst of a
cattle country frequently visited by vac
queros from distant ranches. Fortune
favored her designs by bringing her in
contact with a Mexican, from whom she
succeeded in purchasing a fine horse, sad
dle and bridle and a good revolver. On
the next morning the jailor was very
much surprised when called upon by a
beautiful young girl, who appeared to be
in the greatest distress. She addressed
him with such mournful tenderness, ut
tering his own mellifluous language in a
tone so appealing and pathetic, that he
found himself ready to grant the first re
quest that she made without the slightest
protest. He led the way to the jail door,
which he threw open and courteously in
vited her to enter, acting as if he felt
himself highly honored and under many
obligations to the beautiful senorita for
the privilege of being able to do her a
service. The embarrassment of the jail
er afforded the girl an opportunity to slip
a note into her lover’s hand, and she
says that they might have talked almost
openly qf the plan of escape that she had
devised if the surprised young man could
have better controlled his trepidation un i
the amazement that he manifested ovtr
seeing her enter his prison. She threw
her arms about his neck, calling him
brother, and whispered words of en
couragement into his ears. During the
interview she managed to drop several
significant hints, which she knew would
be of the greatest importance to Randal
when he came to- read the note that she
had given him. Itwas arranged, with the
consent of the jailer, whose humor had
been improved by a bottle of wine order
ed by the pretty visitor, that the young
lady should fetch her brocher his supper
from the hotel. Randal suspected that a
little army of Texas cowboys wo-u.d ap
pear on the scene about that time. It
never occured to him, even after he had
read his sweetheart’s note, that she was
alone in the desperate enterprise. He
held himself ready to obey her slightest
hint the moment the jail door o\ enod.
Miss Brandon is silent as to one particu
lar feature of her daring exploit, but her
friends believe that the lawyer or some
one in his employ led her ponies into an
alley near the jail and perhaps held them
there subject to her orders. One can ac
complish wonders with a $lO gold piece in
Mexico.
When Miss Brandon entered the jail she
invited the jailer to step aside, saying
that she wanted him to help her to open
a bottle of wine. She set a few dishes
that she carried on the floor, and handed
the bottle to the thirsty Mexican. When
she stepped toward the only window in
the gloomy vault to secure the benefit of
a few straggling rays of light, she quick
ly handed Randal a revolver, and whis
pered the word “now!”
Tho Texas bounded forward like a pan
ther and brought the weapon down on
the jailer’s head on the stone floor, bare
ly uttering a groan. To make sure of
keeping the poor devil silent they drew
a handkerchief through his mouth and
tied it fast at the back of his head, and
after binding his hands and feet they
walked out of the jail and locked the
door. It was now quite dark and they
mounted their ponies and rode quietly out
of the little town without attracting the
least attention. When the sun rose next
morning they were little less than fifty
miles from that gloomy prison, and they
were about the same distance from Texas.
They might have reached home without 7
further trouble, but a captain of rurals,'
who was guarding the famous free zone
against smugglers, received notice of the
escape of the Americano diablo, and he
hurried squads of his command to the
various crossings of the Rio Grande
Just at the moment when the happy
lovers were congratulating themselves
over their good fortune they were sud
denly confronted by six Mexicans dra
goons. They turned aside into the chap
arrel, and although the Mexicans sent a
showier of bullets after them they suc
ceded in getting out of sight of their pur
suers, and after a hard Ale of some
hentrs reached the Rio Grande. Here
they were overtaken by another squad
of rurals and after exchanging shots
with them they boldiy plunged into the
river, preferring to take the risk of drown
ing rather than to be carried back to a
Mexican dungeon. The soldiers rained
bullets about them and several dragoons
continued the pursuit in the waiter. The
lovers would have easily escaped, but a
ball struck Randal’s horse and disabled
him. The young man was forced to aban
don his animal and In doing so he ldst his
pistol. His devoted and brave 1H tie
sweetheart had no thought of abandon
ing the man for whom she had already
braved so many dangers. Drawing her
revolver she turned her pony toward the
animal’s tail she fired at the nearest Mex
ican. Then turning her horse’s head to
ward the Texas shore she threw herself
over on his rump and deliberately sent
one bullet after another in rapid succes
sion into the faces of her pursuers. Her
friends are uninformed as to the result
of these shots, but they know' that the
courageous little girl brought her sweet
heart home, where both of them received
a warm welcome. They were married last
week, and it was altogether the biggest
wedding that was ever witnessed in
Western Texas. Randal Barrett says that
he has looked all through the big diction
ary and that he can’t find any word long
enough or sufllcently comprehensive 10
express his feelings toward his wife.

than that which resulted yesterday from
the appearance on Jackson street of a
supposed mad dog.
About 1 o’clock the business portion
was startled by pistol shots and the cry
of mad dog. The dog, a setter belonging
to Mr. E. M. Whitehead, had run into the
store of Law & Brooks and attempted to
bite everything in reach. Mr. Huffman,
clerk in the store, shot it twice, but did
*not succeed in killing it.
The clog was finally killed, hut not until
it had bit a dozen dogs and had itself be
come the lodging place of several bullets.
During the past week several supposed
mad dogs have been killed in Dublin, and
not a few dogs are now tied up awaiting
developments. The dog killed yesterday
was bit about three weeks ago.

MOIIE DFLAA FOR ( MiTEK.
Counsel's \ctlon Follow iiiK Denial
of n Writ of Certiorari.
From the New York Times.
The case of Oberlin M. C.iner, sentenced
by cotirimartial on charges of fraud and
conspiracy against the government in con
nection with improvement: in Savannah
harbor, was brought to notice again yes
terday, when the Supremo Court of the
United States denied the petition of Car
rier's counsel, % Kellogg, Ros< \ Smith, for
a writ of certiorari. Counsel were ap
prised of the court’s decision by the derk
of the court at Washington. No opinion
accompanied the decision.
Mr. Rose went at once before Judge La
tOmbe of the United States Circuit Court
and secured a writ of error and citation
from his original judgment, returnable
March 26, 1900, before the Supreme Court,
at Washington. Mr. Rose subsequently
said:
“As the Supreme Court could have re
fused the writ of certiorari to the Circuit
Court of Appeals only on the ground chat
an appeal should be taken direct to the
(Supreme Court from Judge La,Omhe's de
cision, this application was made direct
to him. The ground of the writ of error
is that (garter is being punished twice for
the same offense. Steps will be taken at
once to send the record to the Supreme
Court, and a motion made to advance
the Case for argument. . Thg writ se
cured from Judge Lacombe operates to
hold Carter in the jurisdiction of this court
until a decision is reached.
The peiition denied without an opinion
by the Supreme Court was for a writ of
certiorari following a decree of the Cir
cuit Court of Appeals denying a writ of
habeas corpus, which was taken out on
the ground that the military court had
exceeded its powers in giving a sentence
of imprisonment in addition to a fine, dis
missal from the service, and degradation.
Carter paid the .fine, his degradation was
published and his dismissal was ordered.
Article of War GO, under which it was said
that he was punished, provides for fine
or imprisonment. The claim was made
that he had been punished by fine and
imprisonment.
“We claimed,” said Mr. Kellogg yester
day, “that, having pai l the tine, one spe
cies of punishment, he was released from
imprisonment.”
It was also claimed that upon dismissal
in the first instance, prior to giving other
sentence, the court marital lost jurisdic
tion. and the attorneys alleged that Car
ter was suffering a cumulative punish
ment. Judge Lacombe held that a.l of the
punishments could he inflicted under Ar
ticles of War 60 and 62. The United States
Circuit Court of Appeals held that differ
ent kinds of punishment were proper;that
! the court had power to fine under one
j article and impr'son under another.
But for the writ of error secured yes
terday Carter within a few days would
have been subject to removal from Castle
Williams- on Governors Island, to* Fort
Leavenworth, Kan., where his term of
imprisonment is to be served under the
sentence. The only preliminary routine in
such case would have been the entering
of the order denying the petition to the
Supreme Court and an application to the
circuit judge for an indorsement to that
effect upon the writ of habeas corpus. It
was learned yesterday that on Sept. 30,
when Carter was arrested at the New
York Athletic Club, he asked the officer
to permit him to write a few letters. He
wrote three letters of resignation, one to
each of three clubs to which he belong
ed—the New York Athletic, the Union.and
!he University. The Union and New York
Athldtic both accepted the resignations,
but the University preferred charges look
ing to his expulsion from the club.
Carter’s counsel wont before the coun
cil of the club tfind argued that the resig
nation was sufficient. Being a volunteer
association, the club, he contended, had
lost Jurisdiction and could not. keep his
client a member for any purpose. The
club had no jurisdiction over the charges
for which Carter had been tried, and Car
ter did not remain a member for any time
after the findings against him were ap
proved, immediately r- signing. The case
came up for argument in December last,
and a few’ days ago the club decided to
dismiss the charges and accept the resig
nation.
The o*l rich Hunter.
From “Sport in Somaliland,” by Count
Joseph Poiacki.
A man of the Midg.in* had his dwelling
near our camp, and was occupied spec
ially in hunting, who was named Boot.
He dwelt in a small zariba, a few yards
in diameter, its roof being th<! heavens
above, while its walls were made of thorns
thickly piled up to a considerable hight.
Being without family he lived alone with
a single camel, which carried a stock of
water from Aware, fifteen miles away,
every two or three weeks, this camel and
a tame 0.-trieh forming his whole proper
ty. He employed the ostrich, which he
caught when a chick and tamed, to decoy
his wild brethren, whose valuable plumes
he devoted himself specially to obtaining.
His mode of capture was somewhat after
this style; In spot visited by these gi
gantic birds he was accustomed to place
himscll in conoealmcrft before daylight
amt let loose his tame ostrich in the Jun
gle. On meeting its wild relatives the
latter would Join, and when all were feed
ing in company it would generally bring
them to the place where the Midgan lay
waiting for his victim. I had not an op
portunity of seeing the plan in execution,
but Bonl himself explained all, at the
same time showing us his tame ostrich.
Previous to our visit Bonl had never be
held a white man in his life, and he looked
at us with curiosity, wondering at vari
ous trifles we showed him, and marveling
at our weapons and the method of using
them.

there was spewyd a hell’s tempest of rifle
fire such as not even; i he Scotch could
stand before. The principal event of the
battle was that awful trap, surprise and
carnage. But the moral situation is not
affected by that, because had we matched
in frontal attack upon that poslton in
broad daylight we could not have taken
It. England has not got infantry enough
to take it. Germany’s immense forces of
infantry could have done it, but it would
have been accomplished at such a fearful
cost of life that no sober general wttu
the fear of his God and his Emperor in
his heart would have ever given the com
mand to “rush" the Boer position.
The old military school hooks teach, that
to capture men in a strong intrenchment
requires three times os many men on the
open ground. That, how r eger, was writ
ten before the days of smokeless powder
and magazine rifles. To-day It would
probably require eight or ten times as
strong an attacking force to carry such
trenches. The moral of this situation at
Magersfontetn is. 4hen, that If modern
men take up such a position the attacking
force must turn it—must flank it or sur
round it. If this is impossible, then what
must they do? Hammer their swords imo
plowshares, apparently, go home and look
after the babies. Ido not say that Me
thuen could or could not have clrcum

gagged and bound creatures—a war corre
spondent under modem censorship.
Foul Smelling
Catarrh.
Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult to
get rid of.
The disease is in the blood and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent ef
fect whatever upon it. Swift’s Specific
cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the
only remedy which can reaeh the dis
ease and force it from the blood.
Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Ilarrodstrarg. Ky.,
writes:
•‘1 could see no Improvement whatever,
though I was constantly treated with sprays
n<l washes, and different
Inhaling re m e <ll e s—ln
fact. 1 cculd feel that each
w winter I was worse than
i JHtt the year previous.
'‘Finally it was brought
WFL to my notice that Catarrh
K/v Wffj was a blood disease, and
faijjfe&A 'Jr after thinking over the
Jr matter, I saw It was un
Vf reasonable to expect to be
L cured by remedies which
/V# only reached the surface.
fk-jtA. I then decided to try H. H.
fVyy 8 . and after a few bottles
JUn vt ere used, l noticed a
perceptible Improvement. Continuing the rem
edy, the disease was forced out of ray system,
and a complete cure was the result. I advise
all who have this dreadful disease to attandon
their local treatment, which has never done
them any good, and take 8. 8. 8.. a remedy that
can reach £he disease and cur© It.”
To continue the wrong treatment for
Catarrh is tocontinua to suffer. Swift’s
Specific is a real blood remedy,and cures
obstinate, deep-seated diseases which
other remedies have no effect whatever
upon. It promptly reaches Catarrh,
and never fails to cure even the most
aggravated cases.
5.5.5.%, Blood
is I’urely Vegetable, and is the only
blood remedy guaranteed to contain no
dangerous minerals.
