GALVESTON, March 1.-THE News Wichita
Falls special says. Arrangements have been
consummated whereby Texas cattle for the
Northern market will be shipped from Har-
rold, the new terminus Of the Fort Worth
and Denver Railway, thence driven north to
Caldwell and Hunneville. Those for CAld-
we'll, Wyoming and the Northern Territories
will go from Hsfrold by way OF the neutral
strip north of the Panhandle, thence north
to their respective destinations. This settles
the outlet for the cattle drive this year, and
saves the Texas stock interest from being
seriously crippled through the quarantine
regulations OF Kansas and other States.

iion prohibiting Hosre from continu.
ing his attentions 10 the girl.
This order. however, was disobeyed
by defendant. Notice was given 10 day of
n motion for the committGl OF Lady Chal-
mon dely for infringing the injunction by
forwarding letters from Miss Sumner 10
Hoare and receiving replies from him and
impartipg them 10 Miss Sumner. When
Miss Sumner attained her majority she went
to live with Hoare rs his wife, and the union
resulted IN the birth OF a child. Hoare ad-
vanced her father, Captain Sumner, l. 600
