special to the Gazette.
ALvoRD, Tx, May 19.--Our town was
thrown into considerable excitement and
state of wonder late yesterday evening
by tho newsof strange kind OF steer
being In town which caps the climax OF
the season, and which proved TO be the
strongest specimen Of cow-brute ever
seen in these "dlggins." One of our
most prominent citizens reports that he
discovered 1t In the dense bottom of
Sandy creek, about two miles from town.
He was so struck by It's strange looks
aud appearance that he accordingly
drove 1t to town and penned 1t IN
Sheriff OVENS lot. Its head and body
looks TO be about the size of those Of u
nine or ten-months-old calf well formed
and In very good order, weighing about
l7b POUNDS. But its horns are some
thing near sixteen or eighteen inches
long, aud Judging from the wrinkles on
them 1t proves the brute to be about
twelve or fourteen years old. 10 is
marked but has no brand. Some of our
best Informed citizens think 1t TO be of
an old Mexican or Spanish descent, while
others advance the idea that probably it
may be one that escaped from Sells
Bros show while at Decatur. But
most Of them are still in doubt as TO it's
origin.

BRADY, TEX, Feb. 28.--EdItor GA
zETTE; Your favor Of February 4, asking
for my opinion on the subject OF ''needed
changes In the jury law" TO hand. From
the fact that you desire the opinions Of
the county attorneys OF this state, draw
the inference that YOU refer 10 that part
OF the jury law regulated by the Code OF
Criminal Procedure, and shall devote my.
self In this letter 10 the consideration Of
that part Of the subject. will make no
distinction between the formation Of the
jury In capital cases and In those less
than capital, since, as | take II, the sug.
gestions make are equally applicable 10
both. My suggestions shall only relate,
further,to challenges To individual Jurors.
which are Of two kinds; Peremptory and
for cause. The challenges for cause,
think, are as complete and exhaustive as
they well could be, and should stand as
they are. But | woald propose To
do away with peremptory challenges alto
geiher. As n now stands IN all felony
cases the defense has twice as many
peremptory challenges as the state. This
obviously IL unjust. But there are some
cases when bad Juror cannot be
reached by challenge for cause, and
peremptory challenges being abolished
injustice would be done. | would pro.
pose 60 ohviate that in this way; After
the challenges for cause, let the attor.
neys for state aud defense respectively
show cause by motion In writing why
any other Juror or jurors should not be
retained on the jury, and let evidence be
heard In support or against such motion
and let counsel argue thereupon and
Judge pass upon the qualification OF such
juror or jurors. II will be necessary In
this case 10 give the Judge moro discre.
tion In the matter than he now has,
Then, after counsel have done presenting
their motions, let the court at his tllscre-
ton and OF bis own motion reject any
juror or jurors which he may think unnt
TO serve on account OF any material
incompetency or disqualification whatso-
ever. would place this matter largely
In the hands OF the court. am aware
that these suggestions are poorly and
inaccurately put; but, IN my humble
opinion, think this plan practically fol.
lowed would be great change for the
better In the jury law.

1t, that we have not seen a sentence OF

on him by lnnuendo or other
wise he has not deigned to pay any at

lieve him 10 be the peer OF any man in the

line with the best interests OF our whole

County Attorney Of Llano couI
mInALGo CouNrY.

The following communication on tne
road and school laws was received too
late TO appear with'the contributions OF
the other county judges Of the state ED. J
HIpALGo, TEX, April 24.-Edltor Ga
zette; In response 10 your request In re-
gard TO legislation for the purpose OF per-
fecting the road and school laws OF Tex
as would suggest, AZ my opinion, that
the roads be maintained by taxation--or
rather by taxation aud labor--that Is TO
say, all persons paying state and county
ad val. tax OF SIC and over TO be exempt
from road service; all others to work ON
roads for at least five days In the year.
This, In my opinion, would be more equl-
table and just to all parties for the reason
that fully 80 per cent Of the inhabitants
of this county do not pay n tax--not even
poll tax. This was made evident last
year. The assessor assessed all polls,
and the collector has not been able to
collect the same except from property
owners, non-owners OF property refusing
or falling TO pay their polls.
The school law, In my opinion, Is the
best that Texas has ever had, yet some
might be made which would
more nearly perfect it--for instance, SUI
perintendency. IL Is my opinion that In
all counties where the scholastic popu
lation exceeds 1900 superntend-
pnt should be appointed or elected.
Proper supervision by county judges is
almost an lmpossibllity for the reason
that they have not the time TO spare from
their other duties TO give the public
schools the attention which their impor-
lance demands; besides, IL is service
Tor which no compensation IL allowed.
Although / do not believe in sumptuary

education should be adopted on this

ion Of this county are MeXicaps and

my opinion that the present jury law OF
Texas ~ as perfect as 1t Is possible 10
make II, Think, under the amendment
passed at Its last session Of the legisla-
ture, chapter 100, page 90, acts OF Nine
tcenth legislature, as good jurors can be
obtained TO try criminal causes as the
material OF the country affords. | am OF
the opinion, however, that other changes
in the criminal practice might BIO made
that would greatly conduce to the ends
of justice.
|. II the law should only require Of the
court TO instruct the jury what facts they
should find In order 10 convict or acquit,
without, as the law now requires, sub
hitting TO them obstruse propositions OF
law, they woulu be better able to ascer-
tain their duties.
2. II the court was required TO prepare
his charge and submit the same to the
attorneys before they are required TO
argue the case 10 the jury, II would
greatly expedite business aud aid the jury
In the performance OF their duty.
