pay tribute to the artist; not the Imi-
tation sort, but the genuine a.licit.
One such resides in Temple; I'ltd r
his tactful touch the ligbln along the
Leon are always burning brightly.
He furnishes the outside papers with
the happenings of his town, whether
realised or prospective, and there ss no
escaping his' magic charm.
Some time ago this particular art-
ist told the outside world that the
Texas Central was about to pass to
Santa Fe control: that trains for
Rotan would start from Teinple, and
that the iijece of road from Morgan
to Waco would be used as a tap.
Thus with one stroke of his brush did
he rob Waco of a cherished institu-
om h^r any
she might have to be chesty.
Now conies this same creative geni-
us with the announcement that a
committee from his town has been
appointed to Conduct negotiations for
a Waco-Temple interurban, followed
by this brilliant stroke; "It, is In-
lleyed that Waco can be Induced to
join in the movement."
Stroke more deft one seldom en-
counters, and all the more remarka-
ble from the fact that the movement
started in Waco.

When Teddy "Clum a Tree"
IT WAS IN UVALDE COUNTY, AND A BUNCH OF TEXAS JAVELINS
FURNISHED THE INSPIRATION.
(Literary Digest).
There is a guide in L'valde, Texas,
who is sure that, although Mr. Hoose
velt may have found larger game in
Africa, he has found none more
fearless than the javelin, or wild
boar of Texas. The guide, Jose Vll-
legas, recently told a correspondent
of the St. LouIb Globe-Democrat how
a drove of about twenty javelins once
made him and Mr. Roosevelt shin up
mesquite trees as fast as they could
climb and kept them there perched
more than four hours. It happened
when Mr. Roosevelt was Civil Ser-
vice Commissioner. This is the story:
When Mr. Roosevelt came to
L'valde and was brought down to the
ranch where I was working, he was
unknown to the people of this sec-
tion. I had never heard of him be-
fore, and when I first cast my eyes
upon him, I sized him up for one of
the Eastern tenderfoots who did not
know a chap from a chaparral. In
this mesquite-covered country a guide
is necessary for any visitor, even if
they come from an adjoining county.
1 soon saw that Roosevelt knew a
heap about the ranch business.
He could size up a cow as good as
I could, and he slung some of the
old-time cow-outfit talk at me that
put tne next to the fact that he was
uo tenderfoot.
"Where did you learn the ranch
business?'' I asked.
"Up in the Northwest," he replied.
That was as much as 1 could get
out of hiai as to his previous life. He
could ride like a veteran. Just for
the fun of it, we gave him a broncho
at the ranch that had occasional bad
bucking-spells, I'll be dad-blamed
if he didn't sit in the saddle as care-
less as if he was riding in a buck-
board, while the old broncho jumped
up and down and sideways in an ef-
fort to throw him off. Finally Roose
velt took off his big sombrero and
slapped it over the broncho's head a
few times, telling the horse to quit
his foolishness.
"boys, I am down here to shoot a
few javelins," he told us. "I don't
care about killing a deer or any-
thing else. Just show me where I
can get a whack at the javelins and
I will be satisfied."
It was no trouble to find plenty of
javjelins on the ranch. They are
to this day in great numbers, and
mighty few hunters are brave enough
to tackle a drove of them. I don't
believe there was ever anything that
wore skin or hair that a javelin
boar was afraid to attack. They
doi't know what it is to make a re-
treat.
They are the real lords of the
chaparral. They run in droves of 10
to 50. They are really the wild
musk-hog, but are different from the
animals of that name that are found
in Arizona and New Mexico. I un-
derstand that the javelins of the
type found in Southwest Texas do not
exist anywhere else upon this con-
tinent. They are about the size of
an ordinary hog.
Well, to go back to my story about
Roosevelt, I led the way down toward
the Nueces river-bottom, where lots
of live-oak and other trees of larger
growth formed an Ideal habitat for
the javelins, Mr. Rooseevlt Insist-
ed upon dismounting and continu-
ing his way on foot.
I told him how dangerous it would
be; but he finally had his way about
it, and we left our horses tied to a
mesquite-tree and went on foot thru
the forest-covered bottoms. We had
gone some distance, when I heard the
grunt of a javelin. Roosevelt heard
it too, and we proceeded cautiously
toward the spot whence the sound
came. In a couple of hundred yards
we came to a small clearing, and In
the (enter of It we could see a drove
of about thirty javelins, contentedly
eating mast that had fallen from the
live-oak trees.
It was as dangerous a lot of the
animals as I had even teen In one
bunch. Most of them had long
tusks protruding from their mouths.
Nearly one-half of them were giant
boars I knew thst It would mean u
lively scrap If we fired Into tfiat
drove, and I was slipping up to
Roosevelt to tell him not to shoot,
when he ups with his rifle and lets
go. The bullet brought down one of
the big botrs, but Insead of fright-
ening off his companions, it enraged
every one of them beyond descrip-
tion. instantly the whole drove saw
us and smarted toward us In a solid
charge.
I was about ten feet from Roote-
velt. I made a break for a tree about
20 feet away, yelling to Roosevelt to
climb the first tree that he could get
to. lustead of doing as I told him,
he stood there and fireti shot alter
shot into the drove of javelins as
they came toward him. The animals
are hard to kill. It is an old say-
ing that one of them will carry his
weight in lead before he gives up
the ghost.
I dropt my gun as 1 climbed into
the tree, and a moment later a bunch
of the enraged animals were snarling
around the trunk under me, making
It impossible for me to recover the
weapon. Roosevelt by this time had
emptied the chambers of his rifle
and was rapidly backing toward a
mesquite tree. The wild boars were
cutting at him with their tusks, and
he was fighting them off with the
butt end of his rifle.
Finally he 'reached a position un-
der an overhanging limb, and reach-
ing up, he grabbed it, and quickly
swung himself into the tree. As his
legs left the ground one of the boars
tore the leather of bis boot into
strips. There we were, both of us
treed, and no guns or other weapons
to kill the javelins that had us sur-
rounded.
Mr. Roosevelt, like myself, had
been forced to drop his rifle when he
sprang into the tree. He looked over
at me and grinned In a sheepish sort
of way. The javelins tore at the
trunks of the trees with their sharp
tusks, and it looked for a time as if
the small one that Mr. Roosevelt
occupied would be cut down by the
animals. The time passed slowly,
and the beasts showed no signs of
moving off. Mr. Roosevelt and I
diseased the situation from every
possible standpoint, and finally
reached the conclusion that we would
have to remain in the trees until the
javelins left the spot.
It was more than three hours af-
ter our encounter with the javelins
before they began to get tired of
their vigil. They began to leave In
little bunches, and at the end of the
fourth hour only one big boar was
left. He was on guard under Mr.
Roosevelt. When I thought the re-
mainder of the animals had had
time to get off a good distance in the
chaparrral, 1 quietly slid down from
nty perch, and hurriedly picking up
m.y rifle I fired two shots into the
body of the boar, killing the animal.
Mr. Roosevelt climbed down, and we
hurried through the brush to our
horses.
After this experience Mr. Roose-
velt was well satisfied to do his jav-
elin-shooting from the back of his
horse during the remainder of his
stay.

San Angelo, Texas, May 6.—The
death of Judge Preusser in New Mex-
ico last month recalled one of the
most picturesque figures of the wild
and wooly days on the Texas fron-
tier. Judge preusser was closely as-
sociated with San Angelo's early his-
tory, being the first Mayor of San
Angelo and a Justice of Peace prior
to that.
It was in 1845 when J. G. Preus-
ser, fresh from Germany, cast his for
tunes in the Lone Star State and be-
came one of the band of colonists
who opened the first wagon road be-
tween New Braunfels and Fredericks
burg, Later, In 1868, he came to
Fort Concho, now in the City of San
Angelo. The country was open range
and besides the scattering cattlemen
there were only Mexicans, soldiers
and roving bands of Indians. Little
by little the ever-venturesome set-
tler gathered around Fort Concho
until there became as varied a class
of fortune hunters as could be found
in the days of '49. During this pe-
riod, Judge Preusser was chosen Jus-
tice of the Peace and established a
reputation for quick justice equal
to the famous Roy Beau, whose shin-
gle adorned the front of his cabin
thusly: "Law West of the Pecos."
Justice a la Beef Neck.
Judge Preusser, like Roy Bean,
made and administered law as the
occasion demanded. An instance of
his unique decisions, humorous but
yet born of an innate desire for jus-
tice without technical barriers, is
retold to thi& day by early acquain-
tances. One was of an American, a
type of bad man, who operated a
butcher shop for his livelihood and
who was charged with striking a
Mexican woman with a beef neck.
The woman had asked for a nice
piece of beef and upon being tender-
ed the neck contemptuously spurned
it, whereupon the irate butcher
struck the woman across the face
with the beef neck.
Upon coming to trial, the defend-
ant's lawyer argued that an Ameri-
can could not be guilty of offense by
striking a Mexican and moved a dis-
missal of the case. The Court
promptly ordered the lawyer to sit
down and said to the defendant:
"This woman's evidence and your ad-
mission of the facts show that you
have committed an outrageous of-
fense against law, order and de-
cency. The enormity of your of-
fense is beyond the jurisdiction of
this Court, but I will let you off on
these conditions—you are to furnish
this woman daily for two months
two bits worth of such quality of
meat that she may desire and any
complaint by her of short weight or
poor quality will result in your be-
ing held for the District Court.'"
"But this Is not according to law,"
angrily replied'the defendant.
"That may not be law, but It's
justice and if you say any more I'll
send you to jail," was the final re-
tort of the Judge, which ended the
case.
Judge Preusser's honest face never
blanched with fear and this alone
perhaps saved him serious trouble.
One day a gang of bad men from the
buffalo range, defiant and surly,
lined his little adobe office in at-
tendance upo na caae being defended
by one Burke, a lawyer whose coun-
sel consisted mainly of ready jeat and
an aggressive personality. The argu-
ments were getting at white heat
and a restless atmosphere, attended
by nervous Idleing about gun holsters
was becoming apparent. •
"Order In the court,1' shouted the
deftly drew a villianous looking gun
about eighteen inches long from out
of the folds of his garments. The
bold attorney, thinking he had gone
beyond where there was no recall,
made a dive out of the nearest win-
dow and his ludicrous exit relieved
a tense situation which then pro-
ceeded peacefully.
Today, or about twenty years later,
a federal building costing $120,000,
which is located very close to the
site of the old adobe, is majestically
rising as a monument to the prog-
ress which is abroad over the land
of the Conchos.
