Austin, January l3.-The eXtreu
difficulty attending the enactment
Law that will just fit the dominsi
sentiment in regard TO the fence-cu
ting troubles IL made more pRlpab
every day. IL * argued by commO
consent that the state is not ready Il
q herd Law, and yet that such law
one of the eertainties Of an almost in
mediate future. Three-fourihs Ofthus
whOoppcsef! its passage now HARMONIC
on this view. To protect the publ
lands from tre-pass and at the sam
time avoid herd law is the perplexinj
problem that troubles the legislature
1t has been suggested that herd Law
might he passed 10 20 into operation
within eighteen months or two years
supplemented by temporary legislation
for present exigencies. 1t i not al all
improbable that this policy msy b,
adopted, IS IL is apparently the best
basis OF the compromise which al!
recognize il Imperative.
The parties are IN dead earnest,
wss the statement Of a gentleman who
knows IN regard to the scheme teis-
Vrsphed yesterday, "to build the Fort
Worth 4 Rio Grande railway under
new auspices The old charter has
expired under the provision requiring
= certain lumber OF miles 10 D. built
within two years, bat il is thought
that II cannot be forfeited with
oBl decree 81 court. The new
movement is the resul, Of a
Determination IN certain quarters that
the road shall Toe built. sud the origi-
majors of the scheme will Toe content
10 see it pushed forward by the old
management, but u that continues ia
q lethargic stale there j. no doubt that
il viii be superseded by an active, Ell
ergcii- syndicate, who viii push mat
tiers through with rush. The rich
but undeyslopei country southwest Of
Fort Worth l. bound TO have
railroad. from that same quarter, and
the city which taps this mine OF un-
touched wealth will be fortunate in
deed. 1t may be divulged that promi-
nent citizens OF this section are among
those Who are now agit4ting the mat /
ter, and that sufficient assurances have |
been received 10 indicate that the road /
mHy he regarded Us certainty.
