Important Land Suit.

San Antonio, Tex, Feb. ia
very important land suit has just
been decided by the district court
of this, Bexar county, which esiab-
fishes the title TO several million
acres of land in Texas. The suit,
test case, was brought to recov-
er lands embraced in what is
known as the "Eleven Leauge
Grant.n This was one ofthe small.
est of over fifty grants Of large
sections of land made by the State
of Coahuila and Texas, while Tex.
as was a part of the Mexican Re.
public. The Texas & Mexican
Railroad Company located its sub
sidy certificates on land claimed
BY defendants. and asked for a
writ of mandamus to have the land
surveyed. This brought the ques-
tion of title to direct issue, and
every land holder in half dozen
counties was interested as the
combined grants aggregate an area
besides which the famous Califor.
MIA Spanish grants is significant in
extent. Judge Noonan decided in
favor of the defendants, thus con
llrming the Coahuila grants.

HORSE AGAINST DOG.


Somerville (N.Jl Special.l
Yesterday afternoon q fierce
bulldog aud vicious young mare,
belonging to George Runyon, a
farmer OF Stanley, N. j., engaged
in a curious fight. The dog and
the horse were stable companions,
but the latter had strong dislike
for the former. The mare broke
her halter yesterday and seized
the dog in her teeth. The dog re
taliated by biting the horses nose.
The two now thoroughly infurla.
ted brutes then fought desperate.
ly. The dog would spring at its
foe only to be sent flying clean
across the barn. The wild neighs
and kicking and barks attracted a
number of people to the scene,
but none dare interfere with the
frenzied combatants. The dog Sc.
cured firm grip on the mares
neck, and was tossed and knocked
against the sides of the building
in the attempts made by the horse
to disloge him. The mare finally
lowered her head, and, placing her
fore foot on the dogs body, liter
ally tore 1t off. In one Of its mad
rushes the dog was seized by the
marc and thrown nearly to the
top of the barn, but it returned to
the fight Immediately.
At last the dog sank its fangs
into the fore.leg of the mare, and
in attempting to reach the dogs
head the horse fell directly on its
foe and crushed its life out. The
victorious animal gave a shrill
neigh, and turning, kicked the
body of the dog until it was crush.
ed into shapeless mass.
When Mr.. Runyon returned he
entered the stable aud found the
mare trotting about the place,
weak from loss of blood. Her
legs and neck were horribly LAGER
ated aud the sinews laid bare,
while her nose was almost gone.
AS the animal could not live, it
was shot.
The mare was q valuable one,
but SO high tempered that none
but her owner could approach her
safely. The dog was priced very
highly on account of its courage
and usefulness as q watch dog.

Text OF the LEGAL OptIsR Bill Pass
cd bY the House.

Especial to Commercial Herald.l
jackson, Miss, Feb. 20. The
House after discussing the local
option bill all day yesterday and
to-day, finally passed it by a vote
of 72 to 30. The discussion was a
warm one, many members partici
patlng, but good feeling character.
lied the entire proceedings. Many
claim that by the passage of the
bill prohibition has gained little if
anything; that if the bill becomes
a law, salooners will have as much
trouble in procuring license, as
under the present law. The bill
is regarded more of a compromise
measure than anything else, and
it is hoped it will for time settle
the prohibition question. The
main feature of the bill. as amend.
ed is that on q petition of one
tenth of the voters of any county
in the State to the Board of Super.
visors of such county, they are to
order an election. The election
can be held once every two years,
and If 1t is carried against whisky,
the question is settled for that
period of time. If ii is carried for
whisky, then applicants for license
must present n petition TO the
Board of Supervisors, if in a
Supervisors district, or to the
municipal authorities, if In an in.
corporated town or city, signed
by twenty five free holders, stat.
ing that the applicant is q suitable
person TO receive such license.
The petition must be placed on
file for thirty DAYS, and il in that
time a petition of the majority Of
the Supervisors district or incor-
porate town is filed against him,
the license shall not be issued,
The latter feature very materially
changes the present law, as under
it Prohibitionists will have to get
up a petition of q majority of the
voters, when now it is made the
salo0nist's duty to do so.

Natehez, Feb. 25.-within the
memory Of even the ufiddle.aged
people, what is now known as st.
Catherene's Greek, was only a
small drain comparatively until
the late John Minor cut an outlet
for it through to the Mississippi
river to prevent its backing up
water on his plantation. II has
cut its way since to a depth of
about fifty feet and a width of 800
feet through what always was sup
posed to be original soil. Now
the excavation for an iron bridge
show pieces of bricks of the same
kind as now used twenty.three

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 23.-The
appropriations committee has CON-
pleted its labors and makes its re-
port to the Legislature in a few
days. The bills now in the hands
of the State printer. The ways
and means committee is hard at
work aud will report soon after
the appropriations committees re-
port is submitted. The privilege
list will be largely extended and
the revenue from this source
greatly increased. 1t is highly
probable that the State tax will
be increased from two and q half
to three mills. The committee
thinks the bill under consideration
will make good all deficits. Under
this bill it is thought physicians
and drummers who have hereto.
fore been exempt will be required
to pay privilege license.
