Our wide experience enables us give me the pam, but it would be a very danger ous thing to . “If they captured Conklin with the pass it would be death for me,’’ he said. 1 told them they would never get the pass from me, 1 would eat it up before they could get it. Then he was afraid I would have to give the pass up before I would get over. So 1 suggested that Zhe pass be written to go and return, and th thought it a good idea. He wrote the pass that way and signed General Canales’ name. I then bid them good-by, mounted my horse and took the back track for the ferry, which was three miles. When I reachg the ferry the guard stopt me I showed him Tay passs and told him when I] au back I would give it to him. ‘et it go out offmy hand. He said all right. 1 rode on to the’ little old-time rope ferry and as we were abgpt half way across we saw the guards charg'ng down to the ferry after me. But 1 was ther in American waters. And as soon a8 1 lande@ in Brownsville 1 went direct to Miller's Hotel. 81 askt Mr, Miller how far it was to General’ Getties headquarters. He di rected me correctly and I didn’t loose any tim: Setting to the general's. He was commander of the American forces. I soon met General Gettic ind introduced myself telling him my troubles He had already read of our c'rcus being robbed and held up by the Mexicans, so he said: ‘*] will have your men releast at once."” He wrote & note to the ’Mexican General Canalis, and stated in strong language to release the men immediately, as they were American citizens and had committed mo offense. He handed me the note and assured But I never ; me that my men would be releast in great haste. He gave me a pass and I thanked him. I started immediately for General Canalis’ headquarters But as soon as I had landed,on the other s'de the Mexican cuard arrested me, I showed him my pass and told them I had a message for General Canalis They took me to his headquarters. When 1 entered my frieml Foster, who had given me the pass to go over to Brownsville, was there tremb ‘ing with fear, He thought I had been arrested and that they had found the pass on me. I Saluted the general and handed him the note. which he handed to Mr. Foster, who was his cbterpreter. I saw by the expression on Mr. Foster's face that he was pleased. He in ‘ireted the noje to the general. The general sald “General ttie Is my friend and I wil! release the men for his sake. But we are poor and are In war and must have some money. So if you will let qe have five hundred dollars 1 vill release them at once."’ a told him we foo were poor and I had nothing ; give him. Bu® he insisted so I compromised with him and gave him one hundred. Our men ‘nd horses were @eleast and we went to Browns ville. I reportell to General Gettie that we were all safe opce more on American soll. I askt him for theyprivilege of showing, which he sranted willingly and encouraged us by saying your prospects arg good as th 1 h been pald of. t & e soldiers have just _We put up our pent opposit the parade grounds -«got everything in shape.
