GAINESVILLE, TEX, Jan. lS.-Quite q
number of our prominent citizens left for
Dallas Yesterday afternoon to attend the
federal court now in session there. Some
of them will probably be compelled to re-
main all the week, as they have important
cases pending in that court,
Our people are quietly awaiting the de-
clsion of the much mooted question
whether the Santa Fe railroad will run It's
northern extension through this city.
Those appointed to consult with the San
Ia Fe directors have had very little to say
about what they intended TO propose, and
this leads many of our people to believe
that the quietness of the committee Is Il
good sign that they have strong hopes for
our city's securing the road. 1t is re-
ported here that the Kansas City people
are anxious to have the Santa Fe extend
cd through this city, and that they have q
surveying corp already in the field on n
line to connect with the Santa Fe should
it be eSicnded through this place. With
the federal court, the Red river bridge
and the Santa Re 10 aid her IN her future
progress Gainesville, in popular parlance,
SIS surely elected"
In the county court this morning, Will
liam Strong pleaded guilty to carrying 4
pistol, and WAS fined $50 and costs-in
all about SG4 As Strong was not pos.
sessed Of the wherewithal to pay off the
hne and costs, he viii continue to board
with Sheriff Hin for the space of thee
weeks. The court then attended TO some
other civil matters, and adjourned till tbs
afternoon. This term of the court will
he probably finished up tomorrow.
District Clerk Lilly has his force busily
at work making out the transcripts in the
cases tried at the last term of The dis.
trict court in which an appeal has beer
taken. Appeals from this county are re,
turnable at Austin, but, by consent OF
counsel ON both sides the appeals in al.
most all the criminal cases will be sent Ia
4 Galveston, so that they may be disposed
of as soon ms possible.
I The streets this morning were covered
/ with ice, and the walking was slippery
and dangerous. Toward the middle o.
the day the weather moderated some, anG
the streets became quite sloshy. The
street-car company has been able to keeT
but two cars running during the day, rs
1t has required twice as many mules as
usual to run car.
The schools had only moderate attend
ance to-day on account OF the unfavorablC
weather
! The teachers institute for this county
will meet again in this city on the thirC
Friday in February. 1t is to be HOPED
that the teachers will have more favorabl,
weather for the next meeting than the,
had for the one just adjourned.
