The) cleaning and seasoning of th chickens Is especially supervised bjr the Messrs. Stroble. With ths regular meals and ani wlches, the cafes also offer "th coldest beer In town." Africa, South America, and the old sailing chips of many years ago carried their gruesome tales of cannibalism living men eating their fellow beings, who died of starvation, and savages who killed and at for revenge. Texas also bad Its cannibals, eating not tor re With the recent purchase of the and Cafe on Guadalupe street, Stroble Brothers now offer Austin and la trade territory two of 'he best equipped and most conveniently located restaurants in the city.

J. L. Stroble first started in business In Austin six years ago with the purchase of Nelson's Sandwich shop. Since that time he has enlarged from an original counter-cafe seating 22 people to a counter and dining room which has a seating capacity of 68 people, and has changed the name to Stroble's Cafe. L.

Stroble has been In the venge ur starvation, but because of an illusion they had been taught soon overtaken by the Tonka, who kilted and scalped him. The whiles coming up a few minutes later tried to make the Tonks continue the chase, but they refused, saying they wanted to camp and celebrate the occasion, which they did in true Tonkana fashion. Cooktd in Kettle They borrowed a washkettl from Mrs. John Webber, who lived near by, pulled the flesh of the dead warrior from the bones and put the pieces In the pot together with a lot of corn and potatoes. They stew was boiled for an hour or bo and then cooled, afier which the members of the party galbered around the pot and using their bare hands and fingers, grabbed pieces of the human stew and gobbled it dovs, greedily, smacking their lips.

After they had become Quits full the Tonks lay down and sltpt all afternoon. At nightfall they decorated themselves, gathered In a ring, each with some sort of crude Instrument, and began humming and twisting their bodies in a weird dance. An old squaw sitting near the circle handed each warrior in succession a leg or arm or some otter bone of the dead enemy. High abcvs the grotesque sgene was a scalp, dressed, painted and held by another squaw. As the warriors sang and danced around the circle tJigy bit savagely at the bones coi tinulng the dance and ceremony until late into the night.

After the Battle Another act of cannibalism was noted in the battle of 1'lum creek in 1S40. About 20 Tonks weie induced in the white party which to believe. Of the several tribes of Indians living In and around Austin the Tonkawaa were the only ones kncwn to practice cannibalism. The i i. Smokeless powder Is "smoke-lees" not because It has no smoke, but because It leaves no sollJ.

Carankawas, living near the gulf coast area were thought to Indulge in this practice, but no such traces in that tribe near here were ever noted. Camped Near Austin The Tonkawaa were very friendly toward the whites In this area, often coming Into the city to trade and visit. They frequently camped around the city and seldom engaged In any conflicts of any sort. One chief, Piacldo, visited the Capita! city many times, usually bring ing with him several of his braves ard some of his wives. Everyone In the small town knew Mm and spoke with great kindness of him.

IT ff i He made many friends with the settlers and in contrast to most of the Indians who came to town, was very reliable and trustworthy. Many times Piacldo and hip braves were of invaluable assistance In trailing and tracking other tribes who had made raids or the encountered the Comanches at this spot. Aft the battle was over the Tonks gathered up the bodies, removed the hands and feet, toasted and ate them. The Tonks did not indulge In this practice because of hunger, but bet.aue they believed thai by eating the flesh of a brave enemy he could transmit into his own body the courage of he dead man. When a brave or chief especially noted for his bravery was killed there was even more ceremonial in eating the body so that they might Aii?

From various signs nUch the ordinary eye would mls they were able to tell just which tribe made the raid and often accompanied the white In pursuit of the raiders. When they caught up with them they would fight as long and hard as the whites. Scalp and Eat After an encounter, however, they would remain on the battlefield, scalp all the dead bodies and eat the flesh of the slain enemy. Every victory was celebrated with a dance and feast. Noah Smithwick, in his "Evolution of a State," tells of an ex-Jerience he had with these cannibals.

A band of Comanches were fleeing after a raid In upper Bastrop county. A band of Tonks Joined the whites In the chase. The main body of Comanches had gone 1 power. Although only a few cae of cannibalism were ever seen, these few cases prove that this practice did occur in Texas. It was carried on by the most degraded and yet the most friendly tribe In the country.

This tribe was one of the first to disappear from the country. 1 Th hleh Guiana forest whlrh cover more than halt of Venezuela, yield 600 npecles of wood. rii.f, m'tmtr i top minimi 5 Luim co)o 34 Years of Progress With Austin 'sai 1 I "i hp r7 Pictured above is the dome of the Texas state capitol, the star in 1888 at a cost of 3,000,000 acres of public domain which the luspended in the hand of the statue at the top being 308 feet state exchanged for its construction by authority of the constitu-four inches from the basement floor.

Our major difficulty at the start was the selection of quality merchandise that would carry local support in national advertising. These we managed to find in whisky and wine Just as we had already done in beer," C. O. LIghtsey, copartner of the firm, said In speaking of the development of the business.

The people made our business possible, and it is they whom we thank." When prohibition was repealed In Texas, the Ltghtsey-Carroll company organized and entered the beer business on a comparatively small scale. A few taxicabs not in use by the LIghtsey system were converted into trucks and used for local beer delivery.
