"A civil suit to which young man
named Reddsn, another named Bsrnhili
and Ed. Koehler and wife were parties,
was begun before Justice Robinson Mon
day, and il to be concluded to-day Barn
hill sues Koehlsr and wife for the value Of
two cattle, $3S, which he claims were sold
for him by Rsdden to Koehler and wife.
But before the latter had paid Rsddsn for
the cattle, creditor of Redden's served .
garnishes upon them and got judgment
against them in Justice Osborne's court.
Tbs question now arises, "whose cattle
were theyi If they were Barnhill's, then
the judgment obtained by Red

from which they will, however, probably
be rescued this morning, when the attor-
nsys in the case, Mr.. Geo. W. Hendricks
and Mr.. Albert Smith, are to cross swords
and tell the court how he ought to decide.
Trains on the Texas & st. Louis road
were running as usual yesterday, coming
and going on time, contrary to the predic-
tions of the day before. The local represen-
tstivss of the road, particularly Mr.. LOOMS,
the agent, entertain no fear that strike
will occur On the contrary, Mr. Loomis
assures US that there is every reason to be-

at issue between the company and the en-
plsyes will soon be smicsblY and sstisfac-

ceiver has had charge of the road only six
or seven days. Duting this time he has
been entirely powsrless to make any con.
cessions to the demands Of the creditors of
the road. He il subject to the orders of
the court in all matters involving expendi-

to be taken after the appointment of re-
ceiver was to take an inventory of the road
and oil Its belongings. This has been
done. The inventory from this end of the
line was sent to the main Office on the Esd

Upon receipt of the inventory the court will
