WILL KEEP OUT or COURT.
! II II said that the Farmers alliance In
this section through their various local
lodges have agreed to leave all disputes
between members to arbitration. That Is,
| IL two members OF the order fall out about
any question instead OF going to law IL
will be left TO arbitrators chosen
from among themselves This would
seem wise course to follow
and would likely be commended by every
body unless, perhaps, the lawyers.
ROUND ABOUT TOWN.
The water-works and the railroad are
twin agencies In boosting Sherman to
future greatness.
/ 1t wouldn't be a bad idea II the city
fathers would have boards put up with
the names Of the streets written thereon
The "Flora Fedora" or hower|
feast, which was given at the
residence of j. b. Fairchild last night
drew out nearly oil the voting society
people of the city, who voted the enter
tanment a complete social success.
The plans and estimates for system
OF water-works will be submitted to the
council by Capt Hayne before the end
of May. The precise site Tor the rcser-
voir has not yet been fixed on, though
several eligible spots have been survey ed.
The people Of Sherman are solid for
water.
Farmers coming into the city say that
II rain is not had shortly the grain crop
will be failure.
BAD BUTCHER BOUNCED.
Sheriff Douglass, who is Just back from
visit TO Henrietta, tells OF an incident
that happened on the train Just before
reaching Whitesboro. There were two
young fellows aboard who were bOuLd
for Missouri. They were both OF an
accommodating nature, and when asked
by the willy news butcher to change
4 $40 bill for him each com.
piled, though the request was
not made of both at the same time.
One OF them soon realized that he had
lost just $40 in the little transaction,
and made known his misfortune to his |
comrade. The latter remarked that he |
had also changed bill for the butcher. |
but had received the correct amount Ia |
return. Sheriff Douglass, who was an |
interested listener, asked him to !
make sure that he had. An in |
vestigation of his pocketbook showed /
that the shrewd swindler had done him |
up Tor exactly the same sum; there was
$40 short. Then those two young Mis-. /
sourians looked exceedingly sorrowful |
Ihey also swore. The sheriff told them
that IL they would stay over to prosecute
he would arrest the fellow. This thew
refused to do. But the butcher began TO
suspect storm, and going up to one re.
turned his money, saying it was only a
mistake, Then he slipped up behind
the other shorn lamb and slyly
put SlU IN ms pocket With the usual
cheek OF MS & rt, he told his victim that
by going down ia his pocket he would
hnd the missing money, which, sure
enough, was true. The conductor, after
hearing the facts, told the artful vender
OF newspapers he could vacate at once,
and the train was soon rid of his pres
ence.
IL Is cad to reflect that the publication
OF This touching episode will not deter
other greenhorns from continuing Go
change bills for train swindlers. The
crop OF innocents is never lacking for
fresh recruits.
