GALVESTON, October 1.-THE county court
has been occupied TOR the past five days, try
ing an interesting will contest. The suit
came up before Judge Austin, in the form of
an application by Samuel Bennison, for the
probate Oh what he alleged to be the last will
and testament of Hugh BenniSOn, an old ard
highly respected citizen Of Galveston, who
died in July, 1892. Edward w. Maume and his
Sheriff w, P. Owens, were defendants in the
suit and denied the validity or
existence of the will offered for probate
by Samuel Bennison. The property
involved in the suit is valued at twenty thou
sand dollars. This property, for several years
past, has been in the undisputed possession of
Maume and Mrs. Owens, as the heirs of their
mother, who was the second wife of Hugh Ben
nison, the deviSee. Samuel Bennison, the
plaintiff, was afavorite nephew of old Hugh
BenniSOn, and claimed that his uncle made a
second will which was maliciously destroyed
(after the latter'S DEATH, wherein he devised q
large portion of his estate to the
plaintiff and his brother, Walker
who lives in England. The testimony
in the case has been vOluminOuS and the hear
ing has attracted general attention, the de
PENDANT having large circle of influential
friends. The case was gwen to the jury about
noon to-day, and after q half hours delibera-
defendant. This verdict establishes the title
to the property in the present pc SCISSORS, and
confirms the validity of the will probated some
| years ago, wherein Hugh Bennison devised
| his property to his wife, the mother of Mr.
| Maume and Mrs. Owens.

consequently crowd soon collected

upon the affair by arresting La Hang
and locking him up. Some time after
his incarceration one of the prisoners
in the calaboose, got the best of La

Belonging to indians.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, October 19.-IntellI-
gence from the Indian Territory Is to the Ell
lect that the Cherokees are considerable stirred
up concerning the misrepresentation made IN
the sale OF certain lands to the United States
government for $4,000. The purchase money
was paid some time ago and divided pro rat o
among the Cherokees only. The lands sold
were supposed to be those conveyed for the use
of divers Indian tribes, but 1t appears
that the sale covered what Is known as the
Cherokee slip. embracing tract OF several
million ACRES.
Another subject Of discussion is the lease of
million acres OF land to cattle syndicate:
The Cherokee strip itself is embraced
in these leases. Chief Bushyhead
IS reported as having Id TO :. Secretary
Lamar that the Cherokees aEs we'll satisfied
with the leases and want the cattle to remain.

"a Chiefs ADanDg We, Takin Netes,

A thing Is fashionable, says Web
ster, when it is made according to the
prevailing form or mode. If that
definition be correct there is nothing
fashionable In the city of Austin, for
there is no prevailing form or mode"
here. No two men or women dress
exactly alike and yet many call them
selves fashionable people. You can
hardly fine two hats or two bonnets In
town that are shaped alike. Conse-
Quently there Is no prevailing form
among them. The same may be said
of all garments now worn. The fact
is that which is the oldest and raras
seems to be the most fashionable. To
be fashionable then is to be odd, and
to be very fashionable one must secure
something that the community at
large cannot obtain. 1t Is impossible
to define this word fashion" because
1t has no foundation. It Is a within, q
caprice, freak, a fancy, and 1t as
sumes as many shapes as q kaieido-
scope. Everything must be new 60 be
fashionable. Hence all manufactur-
ers are interested in having fashions
change as often as ossible-when
they have not too large stock on
hand.
