MYSTEIC, Conn (UP)—An 83year old insurance agent, Leon Vetet, bit off half a black cigar, leaned back in his swivel chair today and told how he drove Texas’ first angora goat herd through Eagle Pass, the nucleus for the herds owned by Vice President, John Nance Garner in Uvalde county. The former “Frenchy” Vetet of the Chisholm trail, who camped three days with Jesse James, Knew Wild Bill Hiekok, Buffalo Bill Cody, Bill Thompson and “Pink” Burns, and whose forehead bears a crease from the tomahawk of a Comanche Indian, said: “I'd like to shake hands with Gar-ner--Cactus Jack Garner. To meet Vice President Garner, I wouldn’t give a darn.” “I hit Texas in the spring of 1875," said the former Texas Hanger. “Fel-

Gable, as Blackie, engages the girl to entertain his rowdy customers and from the dance hall she rises to heights as an opera star to thrill the heights of San Francisco’s music lovers.

“Parrish was seared of reports of Comanche Indians on raiding parties in the counties of Bexar. Uvalde and Maverick. The famous Confederate general, Beauregard, was a visitor at the ranch when I rode in. I needed a job, so I volunteered to drive the herd through Eagle Pass, providing Fairish would send along with me Patrick Thompson, foreman of the ranch. He did and we drove the goats through without seeing a redskin. From these goats were sired the

present herds of Garner.”

Asked about the scar on his forehead, Vetet said, “Oh. that's just a crease I got from a Comanche's tomahawk at Neuces Canyon in Uvalde county. I was a Ranger then and we were trailing horse thieves.” Vetet’s first meeting with Jesse James was strange. He was camped I on the Texas border with Bill PaterI son. of Boonesville.

preparing breakfast.

“Three hombres rode up,” said Vatet. “I knew one of ’em. He was Pinky Burns, a horse thief. I made up my mind the other two were outlaws, too, ’cause Bill did not introduce ’em. Well, they ate breakfast and stayed with us nearly three days.

Hiekok differed from Bill Cody, though. He was not a ruthless killer that is to say, he didn’t go looking for trouble, but when it came his way he didn’t sa-

shay away from it.

“He could get plenty cold in the eye. His draw was like lightning. And like many another two-gun man of the old west, he was always polite; in fact, suave. I drank with him on

a number of occasions.

“Buffalo Bill Cody killed in selfdefense. Always Indians. He, too, was a fine specimen, as everyone knows. I knew Cody well. The last

That was in the old Tom Hunter school, known as ‘old 35.’ I was a few classes ahead of him. I was born at 653 Broadway.” Vatet said he came east because of his wife. She was an eastern girl and a university graduate. “If I had my life to live over again,” he said. “I’d do just as I have done only I'd remain in the west.” APANESE MARKET MELONS HANFORD, Cal., (UP) Japanese expansion has reached the field of

They were pleasant hombres, at that. They didn’t have much to say. We didn’t ask any questions, either. “About a week after they had drifted, Bill asked me if I knew the three riders.

SMITHY LAMENTS TRADE LACKS OLD ROMANCE FORT WORTH, Tex. (I P) —Prices are better, but blacksmithing today is not the romantic trade which Longfellow described in his poem, G. M. Moseley believes. “We get most of our trade from the mule barns,’ 'he said. “During the mule-trading season from September to April, we shoe an average of 25 mules a day. A dollar used to | be the price of shoeing, but now we get $2 . . . with the price of factory shoes up 50 per cent. “Some business comes from dairy horses, ice wagon teams, saddle animals and a few from the Centennial rodeo right now.” Moseley has followed his trade in Fort Worth for a quarter-century, seeing this town grow from a blacksmith’s paradise to a mechanized "cowtown” where horses are comparatively rare.

What has gone before: It is 1757. The French General Montcalm is besieging Fort William Henry, defended by Colonel Munro. The Colonel's two daughters, Cora and Alice, on their way to the Fort, are betrayed by Magua, their Indian guide, and captured by Hurons. They are saved by Hawkeyc, a Colonial scout, and his Mohican friends, Uncas and Chingachgook. They manage to chide the French and Huron pickets and to enter the Fort.

Chapter VII THE SIEGE At French headquarters Montcalm and his officers held council of war. Magua was called in for consultation. “How many Yengeese in earthern house?" Montcalm asked. “Two thousand,” answered

Magua.

“And their wagon train?” “Ten wagons,” said Magua promptly. “Good! They’ll be short of provisions soon.” Montcalm turned to an aide. “We start pounding tonight, M’sieur,” he said.

| “Wounds like ihe French are chang- ! ing my mind,'' he said. Alice laughed delightedly. “I hope Montcalm is decorated for this,” she cried.

For ten days the bombardment continued, without let-up. Yet the starved garrison, outmanned, held out against the superior forces, and the British flag continued to fly proudly over the battered ram-

parts.

The Colonials, however, were beginning to grumble. The promised relief under General Webb, had failed to arrive. Worse than their concern over their own fate, worse than the pangs of hunger, however, was their fear for the settlements — for their homes, their wives and children, with the Hurons over-running the countryside, apparently without challenge from the British armies. They were sullen and on the verge of mutiny. A group of them, given an order by Major Heyward, were

openly defiant.

“I don't

your skin.”

The others murmured assent. “Look here,” said Heyward, “I give you my word that General

A short distance away, near a cannon-embrasure, stood Hawkeye and Chingachgook, observing them. The old Indian spoke heav-

“Fair hair make heart of Uncas weak.” he said, “like water.

He turned on his heel and walked

away.

“Well,” said the Colonial, staring after him, “at least that’s a

straight answer.”

A hasty council was held at Colonel Munro’s headquarters. It was decided to send Uncas through with a message to General Webb. An Indian might slip through the

“Alice!” he cried. The heavier tramp of men’s feet was heard approaching. Alice slipped into the embrasure, drawing Hawkeye with her. A squad of sentries passed. “I asked you to come and see me,” said Alice, when the sentries were out of hearing. “You didn’t..

the Colonel yelled.

Hawkeye nodded, and trained his carbine to protect Heyward. It was well that he did so. The Indian marksman had drawn his bow for another shaft. Hawkeye’s bullet struck him fair between the

eyes.

And now the whole French camp had taken alarm, and French and Indian warriors were rushing towards the wounded Uncas. Hut Heyward had already flung him over his shoulders and was headed hack to the fort. Protected by Hawkeye’a deadly aim, he made it
