Letter signed T.K. Skinker, Sport, Texas, to wife, St. Louis. A gentleman here from Dallas has given me some account of your old friend Chas. Fred. Tucker. According to him, Tucker has almost wholly dropped out of sight. He does not seem to think there is anything worse than laziness the matter. Col. Fordyce is the centre here. I am learning several things about him, one of which is that he is pretty deaf and does not want it known. From the papers I have learned of the indictment & arrest of Councilman Schnell & delegate Garaghty., 1902 May 31
