DALLAS, Tex, June 12.-The case
Of the State against Lohenstein still
engrosses the attention of the District
court. The attorneys in it have been
hammering the jury and breaking the
plastering on the walls all day. AT a
late hour yesterday evening they COM
menced and are not yet through. 1t
is generally believed the defendant
will be acquitted. The county attorney
has shown no weakness, though, as he
says, whatever may be the erdict he
intends to try the other cases against
the defendant. There are about six
more against him for the same offense.
The "crsp-shootingn cases having
nearly all been disposed of, the de-
PENDANTS are now wanting settle
ment with the informers. Yesterday
difficulty occurred between one OF
the defendants named Louis Mack
and Bill Hall, who has played Carey
on his companions. Mack pulled his
knife and carved his adversary In q
serious manner.
The sheriff levied on. the Trunk
railroad to satisfy judgment in favor
OF e. M. Reardon for $4,000, and
now has the road In hand. He will
sell 1t on the 9TH of July. The judy
ment is really in favor of the Dallas
stockholders and the levy is in the
course OF cutting away the carbuncles
that have affected the concern. 1t is
said by some of the stockholders
that few of their Northern associates
would do nothing towards extending
the road but interfere in any extern
sion by others. The public generally
believes that the extension to Athens
will be made after the sale.
The engineer force of the Northwest
ern road is being organized. Capt.
Fred Harris, a well-known engineer,
has been engaged to take charge OF the
work. He was the engineer for the
Houston d Texas Central when 1t was
building through the state.
The grand jury brought in its usual
report, complimenting the off, and
telling the district judge how well IL
did its duty. 1t returned twenty-seven
bills for felony, eleven of which are
against two parties. The jury Seems
to have devoted itself exclusively to
nosing out poker-playing and crap
shooting. The court, of course, thankt d
the jury and the curtain fell,
Mr.. Peter Smith, the mayor Of Fort
Worth, is in the city on his way tc
Galveston, He is at the Windsor and
warmly greeted by host OF friends
whom he possesses here.
1t now occurs that Gov. Ireland's
visit here was strictly on private bust
ness. His daughter married Mr.. Et
Hurt OF this city last winter, and the
governor came up to see her. While
here he presented her with ten acres
of land lying just outside the city linn
Its. He made the purchase during hii
trip. He left for Austin yesterday
morning. He was interviewed by the
friends of Mr.. Rainey of Waxahachit
and Mr.. Charlton, of Terrell. Both
are aspirants for the judgeship OF th,
new district composed Of the counties
of Ellis, Kaufman and Rockwell
Mr.. u. Il. Adams of Kaufman was
also an applicant for the place anC
would probably have received the ap
pointment had he not within the past
month so lost his health as to incapac
itate him for the position. The three
counties are cot siderably exercised
over the matter and Dallas Is taking {
hand.
Judge Reagan's letter in the Calves
ton News is commented on. 1t is the
first answer to the charge which has
obtained general belief that the Texas
congressman and senators dished out
the offices to their immediate friends
and relatives. Nearly everybody hat
an indors ement, and 1t is easy Tor oul
representatives to select q favorit,
from the great number of Endorsed ap
plicants. The discussion shows tha
we are going to have warm time il
politics In the coming campaign.
The men who were engaged in dig
ging out an old well In East Dallas II
search OF supposed murdered man
dug down about seventy-five feet
when they came across some broker
pottery, which some OF our wise mel
declare to be the cooking utensils OF
prehistoric race. To the eye of mai
with no love OF the antique in him
this ancient pottery looks exactly Xix
pieces ola modern jug.
