FORT WORTH, Texas. I have
had my religion a long time, and we
have gotten along well together, for
it has not given me any trouble and
I have not given it any, hence side
by side we have walked getting ready
for the Kingdom, and some day I
expect to step in and meet friends
who have gone before.
There are times that "cuss" words
just will crowd into my vocabulary,
and if you have any kind of heart,
the same thing may get into your
mind, for when you sec the way we
are treated by the hands of those who
execute the law, and then by another
lawless crowd, you would say with
one, "We have a hcluva civilization."
I am not going to say that myself,
but I am thinking that way. I am so
full of "cuss" this week until I am
just running over, hence let us pray.
Every time there is a lynching,
every time we have mob violence, we
say to the civilized world that the
American white man shows that he
is not capable of enforcing law, and
that he himself is destroying his own
institutions, and some day he will
have to pay the toll. It will be his
and not mine, for I am going to
serve God and do the right I have
in mind now, David Bunn, whose
soul has reported before the throne
of God for assignment either to
heaven or to hell, and those who sent
him there will some day. Now here
is the record they have down for
Bunn:
1916 Convicted of burglary in Tar
rant County in five cases. Given free
dom at the end of two years service.
July 15, 1921 Robbed City Prose
cutor Raymond Buck at his home.
Aug. 9 Criminally assaulted Mrs.
Clara Connelly at her home on the
Keller road.
Aug. 11 Robbed H. L. Wallace at
Wallace Coal Company.
Sept 28 Criminally assaulted Mrs.
D. W. Simpson at her home on the
Cleburne interurban.
Oct. 3 Robbed Miss Lillian Mul
key and W. H. Ketchum in Forest
Park.
Oct 4 Robbed H. E. Crowley and
others at Lake Worth Summer Camp.
Oct 5 Arrested in connection
with six capital offenses.
Oct 6 Rushed to Dallas County to
prevent mov violence.
Oct 10 Shot and killed while try
ing to escape on his return to Tar
rant County to face trial Friday.
He was an accused criminal, and
was in the hands of white men who
were the officers, who would have
to select the jury to try him, and
that jury would have been white men,
the judge a white man, and there was
no way on earth for him to escape
conviction, guilty or not guilty. You
will note that after his arrest it was
necessary to rush him to Dallas
County jail, which is in pallas. The
mob, I am told, was forming, and
the high sheriff got him away. They
formed and followed the prisoner to
Dallas, saying, ".We are going to
have a coon roasting."
When they reached Dallas, the
Sheriff of Dallas County met them,
informed them that the man was in
jail and was going to remain there
until turned over to tne snenn oi
Tarrant County. But that did not
satisfy the mob, they declared that
they were going to have him because
they had traveled all the way from
Forth Worth to roast a coon and
they were going to do it"
The sheriff pointed them to an ugly
machine gun planted in the jail, and
viformed them that it would be used,
and used to kill if any one dared to
unlawfully enter the jail.
"I faced them d things in
France," said a member of the mob.
DINNER SERVED.
Dinner was served for several
friends last Sunday afternoon at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mack
Johnson. 11342 S. Elizabeth street
Among those present were Mrs. Mag
gie Paris, 36Q8 State street. Mrs.
Emma Robinson, Thomas Robinson
and Mrs. Lettie Gaines of Omaha,
Ncbr.
MASONS IN EVANSTON.
Many Masons from the city as well
as business and newspaper men visited
Evanston last Wednesday to attend
the grand lodge session to participate
in the parade and to witness the
breaking of the ground at the corner
of Ridge avenue for the future Ma
sonic Temple.

"and I am not afraid of them over
here."
"Well you have a chance to test
your bravery." was the cool reply of
the Sheriff. After chow tug around
for a while they returned to this city,
declaring that they would have their
fun when he was returned for trial.
Early Tuesday morning, the Sheriff
from here was reported to Dallas, got
his prisoner and in an automobile
strated from Dallas. Bunn is dead,
and cannot tell what has happened,

nervous when we would see automo
biles approaching. When we arrived
at or near the Dallas and Tarrant
county line, and just before turning
west into Arlington, I saw the lights
of about four automobiles approach
ing and remarked to Mr. Snow, 'That
looks like them now after us.' Bunn
then said, 'There they arc' Let's get
in the weeds,' and quickly jumped
out of the automobile as to make his
escape. Snow and ,1 both fired our
pistols at him and he fell in the
road. I shot at Bunn twice and Mr.
Snow shot twice. I don't know
where we struck him as we had to
shoot very quickly."
This is the second time this same
thing has occurred down here. I
Void you about a similar thing about
a year ago, and now comes the same
kind. It is a nice way to get rid of
a man. Will you pray with me on
this case for I want to get to heaven
and there is nothing left but prayer.
They have had some time down
here in Texas with the Ku Klux
Klan, and they are going to have
some more. God will right all
wrongs, but just when, I am not pre
pared to say, nor am I going to com
plain about it, for I believe in God
and will trust Him to the end.
You will see that I have been go
ing some since I wrote you last and
will be going some more in a few
hours from now. I am going from
here to Muskogee, Okla., and will
spend Sunday in Kansas City, and
from there I expect to go to Chicago,
Wilbcrforce. Cincinnati. Roanoke,
Va., and Wheeling, W. Va., and then
return to Texas.
I want to report to my friends that
I am better, and I continue to get
well. I have been to Guthrie. Okla.,
one more time at the Park Sanitarium
with Horace Conrad, and he has
looked me over and furnished me
with a wash down. I am still taking
that medicine, the bug killer, which
was furnished me by Dr. G. C Hall.
He says that he is going to keep me
here a little longer.
I have been to the home and office
of Dr. N. T. Wallis, wonderful tooth
dentist doctor, and see that he has
a remarkable plant now. I did not
tarry long enough to let him know
me real good, but I say he had an
X-Ray, and all other kinds of the
latest things for half soleing teeth.
I met Dr. Borders, saw Hon. W. M.
McDonald, attended the Baptist Mis-
sionary and Educational convention,
saw Dr. E. Arlington Wilson, the
man who toted his pocket book in his
hip pocket in Chicago, and supplied
the light fingered gentrys with $67
and his railroad tickets.
Dr. Wilson has another book and
is toting it in that same pocket to
supply some more of his friends. He
was accompanied by his wife, who is
a refined polished scholar. I shall
have more to say next week.

1784. has developed Its arms to show
Its early service In Mexico. One In

was captured. It is still one of the
most highly prized possessions of the

Indian Name of Quaint Old City.
The Indians called a strait "Rebec"
and the name was given to the sits
of the present city of Quebec from
the peculiar configuration of the St
Lawrence river at that point for the
river there grows narrow and from
Its deep waters rises the bold height
on which the ancient dry stands. The
French-Canadian still pronounces ths
name Kebec.

A. record was kept from 1840 for
twenty years for the purpose of testing
the truth of the popular belief that If
rain fell on St Swlthin's day It would
rain for forty days after. The result
of this test shows that the greatest
number of rainy days bad occurred la
these two decades in years when St,
Swlthin's day was dry.

ceremony the workmen returned to
their tasks contentedly. The mansger
of the plant felt that despite the su

workmen were accepting electricity In
their own way. North American.
"Crepuscular" Sun Rays.
The beams of light sometimes sees
radiating from the san when not far
from the horizon are called -crepuscular
rays." They are due to rays of
light passing through breaks In the
clouds and made visible by dust or fine
drops of water In the air. Their ap
parent divergence Is an effect of per
spective. The phenomenon is popoiany
described as "the sun drawing water";
sailors speak of the "sun's backstays,"
while Homer wrote of the "rosy
fingered dawn."

The Indians of Gnlana have a curi

twenties. Forty-six Is expressed as
"two men, a hand and first finger."

Arrow Deadly at Bullet
A mounted Indian or white man
with bow and arrows sometimes could
kill more buffaloes than a man could
kill with a rifle, says the American
Forestry Magazine. At close range
the arrow was as deadly as the bullet.
It made less noise, and arrows could
be discharged three or four times as
rapidly as bullets from muzzle-loading
guns.
