Now you speak of honor. If you are a lawyer, you know not whereof you speak. If you ever saw an bonarabie lawyer you have hair on your teeth. You speak of giviDg me considerable trouble. Great Lord! I have already had enough trouble to send a brigade of Yankiee to hell fifty times; you say you are surprised at my actions. If you knew what I know, you would not be surprised much. Now I will give you a few facts in the case, and then if you are surprised at my actions as regards the Leasless Oil Co, you are undoubtedly the worst set of fools God ever let live on this earth. * * r ? ? !_ J. _ To begin witn, in less 1 Dougot a saw mill on credit, in 1884 I bought an ox team, timber carts, chains, etc, a pair of Texas ponies, a gold watch, a breech loading shot gun, a Winchester rifle, a milch cow, a pair of fine hogs and hired hands to dig a fish pond. In 1885 mill, gin and press, corn mills burned flat to the ground and Dever left me a durned thing. I hired my only horse to some infernal, insignificant, prognosticated Jew drummers, and they killed him. Then I joined the Farmers' Alliance and the Methodist church, took the homestead and benefit of the honest debtors' relief law, and had my application wrote out to join the Masons. My father died and my mother married a nigger, * and my brother Jim was hung for stealing. In 1886 my sister choked to death on a button, and I had to pay the funeral expenses. In 1888 I was trying to make a shelter and let it fall on me and ruined one of my legs. In l?sy [ got burned out again and took to Irink, and sran run through with the interest on what I owed, which svas all I had left at that time. Then I wandered around and sold machinery, and dead beated the people until 1892 when I crossed the lead beat river and was taken with in ungovernable case of spasmodic istljma which run into heart disease tnd dropsy and I have been down iick ever since a year ago, and my ramily is now in want. In 1893 my vife run away with another man, and [ don't care a continental cues what rabody does or what they don't do. Now, if you feel like tackling me, )itch in, but my private opinion is hat you had better wait till I die, ind buy my carcass to make Octagon joap of, but don't forget I am not lead yet, or at least have not been ratified. You speak of my makiDg ra effort to adjust the account. I'll jwear if turkeys were selling for ten cents 8 piece I couldn't buy a jay oird. You asked me if I expected to receive fair treatment under the exsting circumstances, I answer no, by Fuda Priests, I don't expect anything mly death, hell and distruction ihowered down on all lawyers, merchants, doctors, and all other hum3Ugs, deformities, etc. Good by, got to go to bed.
