Ihe most important case on the
civil docket was the case Of Joseph III.
Brown vs.. Ryan, Catney 4 co. Brown
was sued by said firm for $40, 900 dam
ages for closeing them up ia January
last 10y attachment. The case was to-
day on trial and compromised at last
by Re. u Co. paying the cost OF their
witnesses and attorneys fees and nifty
cents on the dollar of all claims against
them by Brown and all other Fort
Worth creditors. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that they (R,, {. x Cos

that does his duty regardless of con-
sequences.
