Pair of Wild ( ayuses and a Broken Wagon Tongue
on a Halsey Mail Route
D. J. Hayes was the first carrier
of rural free delivery mall out of
Halsey. He was accustomed to wild
horses and he calculated on more
profit from the animals he would
1 reak than from his salary.
One day, with a pair of partially
broken cayuses in the traces, the
tongue of his vehicle broke. The
end attached to the hack dropped,
dug into the ground and lifted the
front end of the wagon, catapulting
him i/ito the air. Striking the soft
earth, he made .a hole large em ugh
to bury him in, big as he Is, while
the impact was enough to have
smashed a modern automobile, it
troke no bones, for he has a well-
knit frame.
He clung to the reins like a puppy
to a root, but as the running steeds
reared a stone bridge, he let go, not .
v anting to batter it down.
He went home on foot and found j
the runaways in the bam. They had
had enough education so that th e y ,
stopped at each mail box about as
long as they had been accustomed to j
do, but they made record time be- '
tween boxes.

In 1922 the bank of Browns­
ville received a letter from the
"Standard American Circula­
tion
company,”
Hollywood,
Cal., stating th a t a representa­
tive of the company would
shortly visit Brownsville to
take subscriptions f ir maga­
zines and would probably take
the notes of some of the sub­
scribers and asking if th e bank
would discount such notes.
The bank replied th a t it
would in cases of acceptable
signers.
Then appeared on the scene
J. D. Austin and offered such
bargains in lumped subscrip­
tions for half a dozen magazines
—“anything you want except
the Literary Digest”—also of­
fering
to
taka
the
promissory
notes of those who could not
spare the cash ju st then, th a t
he got many subscriptions.
The bank took some of the
notes and declined some. When
they fell due the signers de­
murred to paying, beatuse no
magazines had appeared. The
hank, as an innocent purchasei,
had a good case and most of the
notes were paid. But to this
day no magazines have arrived.
The public library and the
late Sam Norton, then proprie­
tor of the hotel, were among
the victims.
Some of those
who had been shorn consulted
A. A. Tussing, the attorney, and
when he made his recent trip
to California he whispered to
the Hollywood police.
He
found there E. E. Haek, whose
hrother was well known in
Brownsville, and it fell to the
lot of Mr. Haek and T. M.

nobody else, and whose cause
for being was to create credit
for him, so th a t he could g e t

notes he took.
These detectives have w ritten
Mr. Tussing a letter, from,
which the E nterprise is perm it­

“We went to 6087 Hollywood
