ACQFITTED OF KILLING BROWN
George Fuller, charged with the
murder of John Brown, a barber, was
acquitted by the jury in district court
Monday. Fuller was charged with
stabbing Brown in a quarrel. The
plea was self-defense. Fuller was de
fended by E. F. Moreartv, who took
the case without one dollar for his
services or expectation of reward be
cause he was appealed to by Fuller’s
aged mother, of Columbia, Mo., for
God’s sake to help her dear boy. Mr.
Morearty gladiy responded to her ap
peal. He is to be commended not
only for his success in the case, but
also for his Christian charity in com
ing to this young man’s assistance.
THE VEILED LADY
HE wore a veil. I could not see
What tint, or hue, her skin might
be,
But, oh, she was so trim, and neat,
Her voice was music, low and sweet,
And while I watched her, to my eyes,
She seemed an angel from the skies.
Still, thus I mused: “She may be one
Of those women dark men must shun,
Y'ea, one who at the faintest cry,
May bring a mad mob howling nigh!”
And so I would have turned away,
For fear great danger here might lay.
It was just then she turned' toward me,
Lifted her veil so daintily,
And smiled—my brain was in a whirl,
Seeing such eyes and teeth o’ pearl—
And Cupid laughed, the little clown,
For, oh, thank God—her face was
brown!
—Roscoe C. Jamison.

OFFICERS TRAINING AT CAMP
STANLEY
'
SUNDAY in La Grange was a day
of quiet and peace, so Monday
morning found me much refreshed and
on my way to Smithville, a division on
the M. K. & T. railway, where is also
located the repair shops and round
house, employing baout 400 race men.
The pay roll is quite large. The earn
ings of this class is spent among the
business and professional men, which
is a large amount. Fifty per cent of
the population is claimed by the race.
A day here was sufficient for my
business. I boarded the evening train
for Lockhart, just thirty-five miles
away, the county scat of Colwell
county, one of the richest in the state.
I met here Prof. Atkinson, a prom
inent educator, principal of the high
school for eighteen years, who has la
bored continually and untiringly
among his people, and his record here
shows that his efforts have not been
in vain. He welcomed The Monitor
and its representative, who after a
busy day, which brought little results,
decided to go on to San Antonio, but
not until Prof. Atkinson promised that
The Monitor would receive proper
recognition in Lockhart if he had to
put it into every one’s hands himself.
Back in San Antonio on wheatless
day. Say, they certainly do make good
corn muffins here! I enjoyed two
days of exceptionally fine weather and
then came the first of the winter rains,
but not before I was able to visit Camp
Stanley, the officers’ training camp,
where forty-one non-commissioned of
ficers of the four regiments of the
regular army are being trained for
commissions in the army.
The camp is located twenty-two
miles southwest, situated on the banks
of Leon river, on the site of the old
regular army rifle range, an ideal
spot. The men are very much pleased
with the treatment accorded them.
Though segregated as to quarters,
; class rooms, mess halls, drills and hos
pitals, they are accorded equal accom
modations and advantages in teach
ing.
On my way from Camp Stanley 1
stopped and viewed the ruins of mis
sions—St. Ferdinand, San Jose and
Conception, generally known in this
section as Nos. 1, 2 and 3, the last
known as No. 1. They are interesting
old buildings, each having a history of
its own. being built just 200 years ago,
and they are well worth a trip this far
South to see.
On into the city by way of Flores
street, 1 passed the old Arsenal, where
enough ammunition is stored to blow
Kaiser Bill to kingdom come, and all
of it is handled and guarded by race
men.
To day is cold and rainy. But if the
sunshine peeps out tomorrow I expect
'to be in Austin, the capital, and if my
expected interview with the governor
i is effected I will give you the details
next week. Until then I am corre
spondingly yours,
FRED C. WILLIAMS,
Traveling Representative of The
Monitor.
