Shot at Rawles.
"The next day Andy Meador
came back in his car while my hcv
band and I were sitting on the front |
porch.
"After a short argument Andy
deliberately shot at Asa with a
shot-gun.
"In the car with Andy was Wil-
liam and several of the Meador chil-
dren. When Andy shot and missed
my husband he ran into the house
and one of the Meador girls said,
'Why did you miss him, Daddy?' The
Meadors left in the car, but we, be-
ing afraid they would return and
kill us, started walking away, leav-
ing our things in the house.
“We met the Meadors in the road
leading to Thornberry'a house. They
stopped their car some distance
from us and called out, asking if
Asa hud a gun. Asa told them that
neither of us had a weapon of any
kind.
“It was in May, about 2 o’clock
in the afternoon and very hot. They
kept i*n standing there in the mid-
dle of the road for several hours. 1
became ill, but they would not let
us take our hands down.
“Hog-Tied" Victim.
“Finally they decided to tie Asa,
and Bill returned to their car and
brought a rope and 'hog-tied' my
husband.
“Once William said he would
‘slap hell out of me’ and truck me.
My husband then struggled but
could not move. Bill hit my husband
on the forehead with the pliers, and,
enraged, I sprang up and hit Wil-
liam on the shoulder. Andy then
struck me in the face.
“It was an awful blow and caused
my head to swim and my nose to
bleed. Asa was screaming and Bill
kept hitting him in the head with
the pliers.
“Feeling sure that they were go-
ing to kill both of us, I then asked
Andy Meador if I might pray and
he said, ‘Pray? You don't know
what the word means.’ Bill then
knocked Asa unconscious with the
pliers. All/fhe time my husband was
screaiAing and begging them not to
kill him.
"Finally the car stopped and I
was so sick, semi-conscious and ner-
vous that I could hardly think or
see. Asa was taken out of the car
and directly I heard a shot—the
shot that killed my husband.”
LACK OF BOOZE
BUYERS’ NAMES
REVERSES CASE
Austin, Texas, March 27.—Two
liquor convictions were reversed to-
day by the Court of Criminal Ap-
peals because the indictments did
not give the names of the purchas-
ers of the liquor, in the cases of
Jerry Lewis of Jasper county, sen-
tenced to one year, and GuyHoovcr
of Orange, sentenced to eighteen
months, the court laid down the liilc
that in prosecutions for unlaw I ul
sale of liquor the purchaser must be
named.
The state-statute specifically de-
mand- this, the court said. In an-
other liquor case, that of H. E.
Damcron of Hill county, the court
held that purchasers are not accom-
plices.
THREE GRAVES OF

Plemons, Texas, March 27.—
Three graves, containing the bodies
of three men who fell on the plains
of Northwest Texas fifty years ago
in a battle which foreshadows the
white man's supremacy in this sec-
tion. are to be marked by a monu-
ment on June 27, the anniversary
of the Battle of Adobe Walls.
Several thousand persons from
the North Panhandle, Western Ok-
lahoma and Southwestern Kansas,
including descendants of both the
white men ami the Indians who
fought in that battle, are to gather
here on that day for a two-day cel-
ebration commemorating the strug-
gle.
The Battle of Adobe Walls display-
ed it heroism unequulcd in frontier
history. A little group of twenty-six
white men and one woman stood off
a savage hand of 700 Imliuns for a
whole day and finally drove the
Redmen away, leaving many dead
and wounded. The Indian horde was

Adobe Walls was a frontier trading
camp, established to provide sup-
plies for tile buffalo hunters who
were making rich hauls on the
plains of Texas. It consisted of only
a few sod houses ami a stockade1 for
animals.
The site is now a part of Turkey
Track ranch, owned by W. T. Coble
of \mnrdlo. It is ten miles east of
t’b mens oil the north >ale of the
Canadian river.
A twenty-five fool monument of
concrete and marble is to be erect-
ed. Subscriptions are being collect-
ed by a committee, of which Mayor
F. R. Reid of Pampa is c hairman.
The monument will contain the
names of the men who fought the
Indians.
One of the unusuul features of
the celebration next June will be the
presence of a number of the In-
dians who took part in the battle.
Some of these men, now quite old,
are living on government reserva-
tions.
There are two white survivors of
the battle, who will be urged to at-
tend. They are Andy Johnson of
Dodge City. Kan., and Fred Leonard
of Salt Lake City, Utah.
One of the leaders of the brave
band of white men in the battle was
Billy” Dixon,‘ famous buffalo
hunter and later Indian scout in the
United States army. His widow, Mrs.
Olive K. Dixon, now residing at
Miami, Texas, has written a book
about the battle. Among "Billy"
Dixon's children who probably will
attend the celebration are Mrs. E.
P. Coble. Clayton, N. M.; Mrs. G.
W. McKee, Plainview, Texas; W. 1).
Dixon, Miami, Texas, and Mrs.
Walter R. Irwin, Slayton, Texas.
Before his death, Mr. Dixon dic-
tated an account of the fight to his
wife.
‘About 2 o’clock on the morning
of June 27, 1874," related the old
scout, "I was engaged in rolling up
my bed in front of one of the three
sod buildings which composed our
camp, when I noticed in the semi-
darkness a large body of moving
objects slowly approaching. A num-
ber of us had been awakened by the
cracking of a ridge pole in one of
the buildings.
"In a few minutes an Indian
whoop rent the air and the Redskins
were charging upon us, driving all
the stock before them.
“The sight of that savage band
painted hideously in all colors, their
handsome war bonnets streaming in
the wind, their fancifully decorated
horses running like wild fire and
charging in a solid mass was enough
to make the stoutest heart quail.
“On they came, yelling like
demons and firing their guns. They
kept close together so long that it
looked like they intended to strike
the buildings in a huge wave. They
were splendid horsemen, but they
were not prepared for what await-
ed them, for when they got within
fifty yards the guns of the buffalo
hunters rung out and u saddle was
emptied at every shot.
“We had all faced death before,
but this time we knew only u
steady nerve and a sure aim would
pull us through. Warriors fell dead
and wounded on all sides. Charge
after charge was made by the de-
termined but too confident savages
only to be met by tho deadly aim of
the white men.
“And thus the fight went on
throughout the long summer day*
Time and again the Indians charg-
ed or attempted by force of num-
bers to break down the door* of the
huts, but In vain. When darkness
came the Redmen withdrew, leaving
fifteen dead and carrying away
many more, both wounded and
Deposed Head
Now in Prison
Ossining, N. Y . March 26.--The
I jinn gates of Sing Sing prison have j
| closed with a chine and William II.
Anderson, deposed leader of tile
I New York Anti-Saloon league, hie
begun his one to two-year sentence,
after having been convicted on a
charge of third degree forgery.
When he parsed through the
doors leading into the prison recep-
tion room, he became “Prisoner
75,745."
From the reception room, whore
he was recorded, the former dry
chief was led into the hospital,
where his hair was shingled and his
carefully groomed moustache
thrown into a waste basket. The
regulation prison uniform of gray
trousers and gray coat was fitted to
his stalwart frame. The hickory
shirt and black shoes were issued,
and "Prisoner 75,745" took his place
in a cell.
Anderson walked to the train at
the Grand Central station amid vol-
leys of cat-calls and hisses. There
was a glim smile upon his face, nnd
as he “t»ode along with a firm step
he tossed his head in defiance. A
little earlier he had said:
