SnERMAN, Tx, oct 28.--The fine
weather of the past few days has had the
effect TO make things look lively about
our streets and in the business-houses,
but the complaint is general that money
is scarce and transactions are confined to
very small sums.
The district court consumed all OF yes
tefday and until 2 O'Clock to-day in the
trial OF the libel case reported in our last.
The attorneys on both sides fought 1t at
all points, and when the jury retired no
man ON either side would hazard guess
at what their finding would be.
The case of Kaylcr against the western
Union Telegraph company was then taken
up and will doubtless consume half of
tomorrow TO conclude IL. Judge Field
of the firm OF Stcmmons & Field of Dal-
las is in the court representing the dc.
PENDANT, while our home firm of Cobb &
Mayfcld have charge Of plaintiffs inter-
csts.
The county court adjourned at If
O'Clock to-day for his honor TO take Il
needed rest. Two yoluble young attor-
neys had up little motion, and were so
very elaborate In their arguments that
his honor took violent case OF the
tooth (f)achc, and summarily adjourned.
The preliminary trial for robbery, re-
ported yesterday, before Justice Hin
kle slill drags It's weary length
along and may consume all
OF another day before IL ends. Defend
ants will produce proof 10 show that the
complainant, Pierce, was drinking, and
told several parties that he was anxious
TO get game Of euchcr, and that he lost
his money at cards and then squealed to
the police.
