Upon one occasion he had the audacity to invite General Houston, who was at that period president of the republic, to come out and exchange shots with him. He says, that the old warrior floored him by coolly making a note on a slip of paper and patting it in his desk. In answer to the enraged challengers inquiry, the Mr. Smith, general simply said: the are when I have fortieth; you killed these other thirty-nin- e d n scoundrels who have challenged me I will accommbdate you. Be patient, $ir. Smith came to Texas in 1836, and served in the.. Texas army through all the long", wars with Mexico. He was also a eoldier in the great civil war, and when that ended he enlisted to fight Indians, and remained on the herder until there were no more Comanches to shoot. lie has been a man of war from his youth up, and in his . old age he carries a soldiers musket with a fixed bayonet, and continues to make war on all kinds' of 'game and.varmints. He wanted to go to Cuba, and when , the bova inoo-ild sisted that-hew- as and feeble he threw off his coat and challenged the whole company to fight him. Upon one occasion Mr. Smith was captured by a roving band of Comanches, many of whom were well known to him. They frankly told him that they intended to make him run the'' gauntlet and burn hinv at the stake when they reached their village on devil riven The captiyd had a flask of whisky, which the chief took away from him. After taking several drinks the old warrior asked Smith if he seven up. could play Smith boasted could beat that he proudly any man living playing that particular game. This answer appeared to put the Indian on his mettle, and he at once proposed that they should halt by the side of the . warpath and play - for the highest stakes that -- mortal men ever wagered on a game o! chance-l- ife. Smith eagerly agreed to the proposal, and they sat down under a tree and dealt the cards on a blanket. "The other warriors dismounted and anxiously watched the game. The chiefs name was Laugh, so called onaccountof a natural -- grin -- that marked his features. After a short time they stood 6 to 6, and it was Smiths deal; He ran the cards off and turned' a jack from the bottom. Smith had won his liberty and Big Laugh told him that he might go) but the Texan had something else in view. He might easily have walked away, but he had determined upon another act which marks him as a generous soul possessed of tjtie highest courage. There was a young white girl tied on one of the ponies who was weeping in the. most ' piteous agony. Smitn coolly proposed to play another game, staking his life against the liberty of this young .

The young girl was cut loose from the pony and made to stand on the blanket, while the thongs for binding Bmith incase he lost were thrown - liberated captives reached the settlements in safety, where Smiths strange story would never have been credited had pot the young girl bore witness that it was true. She is still living on a fine plantation on the Brazos and is the widow of no less a personage than Colonel Sam Jones, who was killed at the battle of Shiloh. . Wildcat Smith lives in a little cabin in, the. wpods and devotes his whole time to hunting bear' and deer and sometimes smaller game. When asked for" in formation concerning his ferocious name, he said: Ob, the boys call me Wildcat cause I fit one of them varmints once without any weapins.
