This la called Catarrh of the Stomach.

L.BBBHBHBnHBHBBBflK i KILLED HIM I/f SELF DEFENSE Texas Ccue In XVhieh Man Unjustly Imprisoned May Jfobo Obtain Fortune. Thomas O'Connor, the Louisianlan recently pardoned by Governor Lanham of Texas from a life sentence in j the penitentiary, is again at his home In New Orleans with his wife and fonr children after an absence of fifteen years, says a New Orleans dispatch. The story of O'Connor's life on the Texas ranch, his trouble in a herder's camp, his two trials and final conviction, life imprisonment, the result of what his friends claim was personal spite and persecution to keep him out of his dues of $30y000, reads like a thrilling tale of western life, such as might be found between paper backs. FTls uncle, Tbomas O'Connor, settled in Texas in 1833. He was a pioneer,1 a cattle king, who numbered his stock by the hundreds of thousands. He was soon a millionaire. He settled at Copono, Refugio county, and It was not long before the veteran O'Connor practically owned the entire county. Thomas O'Connor, a nephew of the eonlor OTrinnnr lpft hlfl home in New Orleans and went to his uncle's ranch In 1868 or 1868. He was young and active and lived In the saddle. He took charge of all the business on the trail. "On April 30, 1871, my uncle gave me his note for $30,000, with legal Interest, for services," said Mr. O'Connor. "In 1871, while on the trail, I had trouble with a Mexican named Dees. We fought In the camp, and he cut me in the throat, as this scar will show. I killed the man in self defense. He would not go on a herd and attacked me. This was in Bosque county. I was tried in the coort of that county, Judge Woods on- the bench, and the jury stood eleven for acquittal and one for j conviction, and afterward the whole i case was quashed. "My unde, Thomas O'Connor, died Oct 17, 1887, and I entered suit on the note I held calling for $30,000, with j legal interest Then a cousin of mine, who was in charge of the estate, said | he would pay the note, provided I would get the full power of attorney for ail my sisters and brothers in Ireland. This was In 1880. I replied that I never would sell the rights of my brothers and sisters. "When I refused to accede to his unreasonable demands the old charges were brought up against me in Busque county. That was- nineteen years after the case had been dismissed against me. The courthouse in the meantime had burned down, and all the records in my case were destroyed. "They tried me on those conditions, and I was convicted and sentenced to MMliHi u?^1} rn "I KTTtlYffP THE XXS ZJt BMLP DBPZ88B." life imprisonment for the killing of this Mexican nineteen pears before. It was In 1890 that I was convicted. "Among the witnesses against me were severe! Mexicans, and one of them setter the trial showed $500 he said be had received for his evidence. "They dragged me from my home and fftmfjy in this city, and I served in the Gfecas penitentiary for fifteen years, at the expiration of which time Governor Lenbam pagQooafl me. i have now re-entered my suit oo the $30,000 note In the federal court at San Antonio. Ifcat wee the faoe of the note, and It has been bearing legal Interest during all that time. The cousin who persecuted me is now dead. His j children are In charge of the estate in Texas, which Is still very wealthy. At the time of my node's death It was assessed at $8*000,000." i Rh Defetue Palled. A man came before the magistrate In Sydney, N. S. W., charged with canstag unnecessary pain and suffering to a flock of sheep by making them hustle in the beat of the day. He defended himself. "Your worship," he said, "I know you often have to hustle yourself!" "Quite so, quite so," returned the magistrate, smiling blandly, and then, putting his hand on his head, which was quite bald, "hut I never found that hustling improved the growth of the wool, and I fine you 40 shillings."
