writ from a san Antonio Judre is over
ruled at Dallas
Special TO the Gazette.
BAN ANTONIO, Tx, Dec. 29-Some
weeks ago the local papers published the
facts In a case wherein man named
Cullen had come to San Antonio from
Dallas, and under various pretences Sc
cured possession OF his two little chill
dren from the custody OF the wife, from
whom he had been separated, and took
them away with him 10 Dallas without
due process Of law subsequently the
wife secured a writ OF hAbeas corpus from
Judge Noonan, aud it was forwarded to
the sheriff at Dallas. In turn the sheriff
took possession OF the children and was
about 70 bring them 10 San Antonio,
when the husband secured an Injunction
from Judge Aldrich, also district Judge,
restraining the sheriff from executing
Judge Noonan's writ on the ground that
the judge here has no jurisdiction over
the children. The sheriff, as q matter OF
course, oDeyed the Injunction OF his home
judge, else he would have been fined for
contempt, but at the same time be is
also liable 20 a fine for contempt from
Judge Noonan. The writ was accord
lngly returned, endorsed as above
indicated, when Judge Noonan TO-
day ordered a new one sent OF
exactly the same date, paying no atten-
ton Whatever TO the action OF Judge
Aldrdge. The doctrine of law assumed by
the Dallas Judge is regarded as monstrous
here, and II carried out TO Its Legitimate
consequence would defeat the mandates
Of any district Judge In she state. The
outcome OF this clash OF authority is
looked forward to with interest by the
legal fraternity.

Eiectionecring Tactics.

As an evidence of political scheming Just
before election. the movement inaugurated
by the DailG Times against the sporting men
is peculiar. 1t began few days ago. and
was intensified yesterday. The sporting
men understood, or were informed, that
this meant a raid. and so when the raid was
attempted last night, on all the sporting
rooms, which the Times and the police well
knew for,the past six months, the raiders
found all the rooms empty, SO the Times
candidates can 60 before the people with
the boast that they have caused the entire
abolition OF faro games in the city. They
might also have said till after election, for
they knew as much about the matter during
the last six months as they know to-day.
ii gaming is naughty just before election,
what was ii during all summer? The game
sters seem cheerful under the circum-
stances and are grateful for the official no
tiacation which they received yesterday.
They will probably take vacation till al
ter election, when gaming will be unmo-
Tested for time till raid may seem again
politic. Thus Is the way of municipal
statesmen Just before election.
