The Court of Appeals.

Cavsnaugh VS.. City OF Fort Worth
Tarrant county. Conviction In Record
er's court for language calculated to pro
woke breach Of the peace. Appellant
appealed to the County court, where his
appeal on motion was dismissed because
the bond was more onerous than the Law
required. The bond was conditioned
thAEthe appellant should pay all fines end
s5sts in the Recorders court. Held
fThat there is no material difference in the
conditions named in the bond from those
named In the code. Reversed and re-
manded. Hurt, Judge.
Perrigo & Pesrl VS.. the State; Bell
county. Joint conviction for forpIcation.
On the trisl over the objection of Eva
Pesrl the state proved her to have the
reT utation OF prostitute. Held: That
in this case such proof is not admissible :;
but IS the state proved by the corfas-
sions of each defendant tbs. show Eva
Pearl to be prostitute, there WAS no
Injury resulting from such error. Appel
lsnts being jointly tried the confessions
OF each, though not made in the presence
OF the other, were admissible. II de-
sired the defendants should have re-
quested charges 10 the ef1ec. that the
confessions could bind the party making
them. Affirmed. Hurt, Judge
Leggett vs.. the State, Hood county.
Conviction for cutting down and destroy
ing timber on lsnd not his own. Held:
There Is no evidence rendering it at sll
certain that the offence was committed
in Hood county; that this court does not
know judicisllY that GranburY is in Hood
county, nor the distance from that place
to the county line. Because the venue is
not proven the case ls reversed and re-
manded. Hurt, Judge.
Ssmuels VS.. the State; from Falls
Conviction for simple assault on iDforma-
ton, charging him with an aggravated as
saul5 and battery upon Jack Richardson
with knife deadly weapon. Defend
ant plesd rot guilty. It appears from the
bill Of exception that defendant h:d plead
guilty before the Mayor for simple as
ssult, and on the trisl the defendant OBJ
iected to the charge OF the court on sim
pie assault. Held: W That the
accused must specially plead former
conviction. % A number OF
assaults NAV grow out of or result from
the same difficulty and still DE separate
and distinct acts for which the parties
thereto msy be prosecuted to conviction;
affirmed. Hurt, judge.
Williams VS.. State; Falls. Conviction
Of murder in the first degree with death
penalty. Held There is no question
requiring discussion presented In the
record, the Indictment is good, the
chsrge Of the court correct
and full, and more favorable
to the defendant in soma particulars
than the evidene demanded; the cause
WAS proven independently of appellants

There have been fresh complaints made
recently of the conduc. OF the railroads
running into Fort Worth In refusing
through rates on cattle uulosded st this
point for sale, which, Fort Worth cattle
shipper said yesterday, is Injurious to
both the shipper and the city.
a.
The uou-citizsns OF the Chicksssw
Nation have refused to pay the cattle tax
OF 81 per head, and have agreed TO re
sist lts collection bv force Of arms II
necessary, in sequence whereof the
governor has applied TO the United States
officers for assistance il expel!tng them
As lntTuders.
During the moth OF February lSst, the
csttlemen Of the Victoria section held
convention at Cuero for the purpose,
among other things, c; securing q reduc-
ton of freight snG feed charges on cattle
being shipped from those parts 10 Inc
markets Of the country. Reco ming the
fact thst the f:eigat charges ca csitle to
New Orleans, which during the
summer is the only accessi-
ole p in. al which beeves from
the far south can be marketed, were out
0! pro portion, and that point was being
Disseminated sgainst, they applied to
the Texas Traffic Association, then in
session st Houston, wi b q presentation Of
their grievances, and PRAYING for reduc-
ton. They received great encourage
mert at Houston, aud returned home IN
buoYaIt spirits. Their complaint had
been considered, and an investigation and
correction Of their Tror IS were promised.
Imagine the surprise Of the Csttiemeu
upon the Issuance OF the new tariff, whea
they found the rate from A'giers to VIC
toris lad been raised from $40 10 SIS, the
rate on the same car being $50, and to
Chicago 500. The cattlemen have pro-
tested vigorously enough, but with nc
feet.
