Special dispatches to the Gal
weston Ne,cs from a large rumber OF
points throughout Texas show that
except in a few localities further rain
could be productive Of no marked
benefit to the cotton crop. In q
majority of cases it would result in
injury. The extensive drought which
has been the most important factor
in injury to tho crops has been re.
lieved in some localities by rains
but as a general thing it was too late
70 do much good. 1t is plain tina
there will be a considerable decrease
from last years yield. The grair
crops, however, have been successful
in the full sense Of the word.

Crooks Campaign.

Gen. Crook has returned from his
campaign into Mexico after hostile In
dians, bringing with him 375 prisoners,
chiefly women and children. What Will
be done with them is not known but, it
is more than likely they will be placed
on a reservation of their own and will
not be allowed TO remain in Arizona to
make further trouble. OF the fighting
men of the tribe one hundred and fifty
are encamped south of the line Of Old
Mexico, who will come in and surren-
der if they are promised immunity from
punishment for their crimes. A great
many of the personal effects of Judge
McComas have been received from the
party captured. General Crook is
camped at Silver creek, south of Tomb
stone, with his prisoners awaiting or

to headquarters dated June 18th, he
says Il left here May 1st, with 1893

Tba Washed Diamond Case.

In the City court Saturday morning Judge Deminr rendered his decision in the case of Jacob Nepel, the diamond merchant. The decision was substantially as follows: m this case Jacob Nepel is charged with obtaln- ing from Edward Engel $625 by certain false nretenses. to wit: That one shirt stu d, two earrings and finger ring sold by Nepel to En
 gel each contained gems of pure water known and called old mine diamonds The penalty may be fine of not more than $500 or imprisonment not more than one year or both. The burden of proof is on the State to show that the false pretenses were of material fact and knowingly made with intent to defraud, and that the money or goods were parted with in consequence of the representation. The information must set out the false pretenses and they must be proved as alleged. The State must prove the false pretenses as laid in the information. This the State has failed to do. as 1t alleged that Nepel represented the stone to be pure water and old mine diamonds. There IS no evidence that either Nepel, Gum or Dorman ever used this or any similar language during the transaction. The State has failed in this and other equally fatal points. Words of commendation and recommendation are not actionable. They must be false|and the false representations must be the cause in du. ing the buyer to part with his money. MT. Engel did not rely on the statements of Dor man but made an examination for himself and from the beauty of the stone and it's bluish color thought that it was very valuable. The State claim that the stones were washed or ''doctored," which fact was known to Nepel The only evidence on this point is that of Nepel himself, who testified that he had nothing to do in fixing up the stones. In the first place MT. Engel bought the stone upon his own judgment and must be held to the rule caveat emptor unless there were false representations. There were none The diamond was handed to Mir. Engel; it shone with the luster of an old mine diamond; he thought it was one; he deceived himself. In any sale man may be silent and safe. He may leave the purchaser to inquire or to act upon his own judgment, or require warranty. If the seller knows of defect in his goods and does not reveal, he may be and probably is, guilty of m oral fraud but this moral fraud has not yet grown into a legal fraud. There must be active fraud, for the law does not compel seller to disclose all that he knows if it did it would sap the foundations of trade. It does not appear that Nepel knew that they were to be sold to Engel nor did he give directions as to whom they should be sold. If thsy were washed that did not add to the price received, although it may have helped the sale. In this view of the case MT. Nepel is no more censurable than other merchants, who by means known to themselves, make their goods look as well possible. while selling at fair price, We think that there Is ne evidence on which to hold the accused. He is discharged"
