This was O.
O. Miller He ran a saloon on the east side where the Main &
Chesley law office was later. William Maxwell who had taken out land on
the river, sold out, move in, and either worked for him or was a partner
for a time. When Miller sold out and bought every saloon in Waco. There he
"bored with a big auger for a while." Then he went broke, came
back, and was jailer for a time, at the old jail, back of saloon row on
the north side.
(He was the one Uncle Charlie Taylor was telling me about. Mr. Taylor
was telling about a crazy fellow named Murphy Session who was in the jail
and dug out through the crude plumbing and escaped. This was the same man
that Uncle Tom Pierson, as a deputy sheriff shot unintentionally, on the
creek and killed. A Mr. Schultz at Rising Star told me about this and that
he was with him at the time. )
