The as- sociation extends a cordial invitation to the ex-soldiers of both sides to be present, and the citizens of Mexico will make ample provisions for all. a) Four Mexicans, three with knives and one with a revolver, attacked 4ames Taylor near Colorado, Texas. He was unarmed, but in the scuffle that followed he got possession of the six-shooter and killed three of his would-be murderers “hand-run- ning.” As the fourth started to run went to Ft. Scott to interview these gentlemen in regard to that matter, John Atkison, one of the committee, asked the question if they had the the assistancg possible, otherwise we would have nothing to do withit. Col. Harris informed the committee to build this road,” or words of like purport. In public meeting with this statement. Later on, in an in- terview with a Kansas City reporter, he said that materials were all pur- chased for the construction of this road and work would be begun at once. Our people worked hard, raised money and guaranteed the right of way. Then the fact leaked out that these gentlemen were simply speculating on our paper, and have not succeeded in disposing of it. While these men have no doubt work- ed hard and spent money in the project, they deceived our people from the beginning. We now have other railroad prospects that are claiming our attention, and if Col. Harris and the gentlemen associated with him haven't the money to build notes and guarantee bond. If they can induce such a company as the Chicago and Alton to build this voad, well and good, our people would cheerfully pay them, but they should not act the dog in the manger. Our people would be very cautious about extending the time unless some very substantial proof was presented that the money for the construction was forthcoming. SEED 18 IT A POLITIOAL MAOHINE?
