From letters in Acknowledgement
Kings Office it was learned that bad
state of affairs exists in Potter county,
which is the Panhandle country, Amarillo
being the principal town. 1t appears
that on January IA Constable M. M.
Owens was shot and killed by man
named j. R. Gober, who is sheriff of the
county. Gober had a preliminary hear
ing before Justice W. M. Andrews and he
was admitted to bail in the sum of $4,000
A short time after this Gober attacked the
Justice and beat him in brutal manner
with pistol, threatening also to kill him
The present trouble is supposed to have
grown out of this matter.

IRON WEDNESDAYS DAILY
A Vicious Dog.

A vicioue dog belonging to Mr.. A
Achilles, on Lavaca street, made most
desperate attack upon Mr.. Huppertz on
Sunday morning while he was passing the
house. The dog, whose vicious temper
was known to his owner, had been kept
chaiued.but he broke the chain, which W ,s
very weak one, and sprang at the
first passer-by, who happened to be Mr.!
Huppertz. The dog caught Mr.. Hup-
pertz by the right hand and literally tore
1t to pieces, Mr.. Huppertz meanwhile
catching the dog by the throat and chok-
ing him. The dog then let loose his hold
on Mr.. Huppertz' right hand and caught
his left, which he treated like the right
one. Mr.. Huppertz finally succeeded in
getting the dogs throat in both hands,
and, suffering as he was, held him until as
sistance arrived. There is strong moral
in the above, that parties having dogs
should heed.

Unsettling Land Titles.

The heirs of A. Snider Pellegrini filed
suits Yesterday for ell of outlots Nos. 80
and SO in division I'D" against about
twenty five defendants. These suits in
volved the titles of forty-eight lots in the
subdivision of the original outlets Nos. 81
and 80, which contained five acres each.
Mr.. F. G. Morris, the attorney for plain
tiff, was seen by STATESMAN reporter,
and gave the following information as to
the cause of the suits:
A. Snider Pellegrini was in Austin in
1883, and in other parts of Texas looking
after his land interests. He was an old
ACQUAINTANCE of Mr.. John MuDtich, of this
place, who was of the same nationality at
Pellegrini. He left with Mr.. Muntich q
memorandum of his heirs and the places
of their residence, and requested Mr..
Munich to look after their interests If
he (Pellegrini) should die. He complained
that years ago when he was absent from
the United States judgment was OBJ
tanned against him in Houston without
any knowledge on his part that he had
been sued, and nearly all his lands hac
been sold to satisfy this small judgment
The outlots in controversy In these suits
containing five acres each, just west OF
the University a short distance, were
among the property sold, and they anc
ten acres more north of this were sold FOL
$75. Shortly after Pellegrini was in Aus
tin he returned to New York and died
Mr.. Munich made trip to Europe, apC
shortly after his return brought the claimI
of these heirs to the attention Of Mr.. VIM

cover this property. Mr.. morris is employed

REVERSED AND RENDERED.
Carolina CARA ct al. vs.. An
dreas A. Brow; from Bexar
county. Opinion by Chief Justice Stay
ton. The judgment is rendered in favor
of appellants.
The CARA case involves principally a
question of boundary between the lots of
the respective parties in the case.
In the Arabello case the allegations are
in brief that plaintiff was employed to un-
load ties etc.. that he was directed to take
a seat upon a const ;uction fat loaded with
GROSS ties etc.; that the train in charge of
one Nelson was run after dark at a rapid
rate, and that plaintiff was suddenly
knocked off the car by a beam negligently
left near the track and had both of his
legs broken, resulting in amputation and
rendering him helpless for life.
The defense set up that plaintiff was
employed to do work in and upon the
construction train; that he was taking
risks incidental to such work, and which
he voluntarily assumed in undertaking the
work.
Exceptions having been sustained by
the court, and the plaintiff declining to
answer, the case was dismissed, and plain
tiff appealed assigning as error the ruling
of the court sustaining the exceptions
and Diminishing the suit. Held: That G
servant taking the risks of the dangers in
cidental to his employment does not in
clude dangers of defects unknown to him
and which he had no means of ascertain
ing. Judgment is reversed and case re-
manded.
In the Wrent case appellant, as sole
surviving parent of her son, Columbus
Brown, sued the international Railway
company for $4,000 actual and $4,000
exemplary damages, alleged to have re
suited to her by reason Of the death O
her said son on appellee's road Decembel
26, 1885. The lower court dismissed thu
case and Mrs. Wrent appealed. Tn,
judgment of the lower court is affirmed

A Big Business.

Mr.. R. D. Cunningham, manager for the
M,lburn Wagon company, has just re-
ceived from the factory thlrty-five new
jobs, embracing fine buggies, phaetons,
family carriages, etc. They are the light
est, strongest and handsomest line ever
brought to this city, and the prices are
wonderfully low. The Milburn Wagon
company is doing big business in this
city, and when is contemplated the beau
ty, lightness of weight, strength and dura-
bility of their goods this fact is not
strange. Every one should call on Mr..
Cunningham and see these new goods be-
fore they make their purchases.

After q Political Parson.

Justice Stuart yesterday issued war
rant for the arrest of Reverend Frank
Green, a we'll known colored preacher and
politician of che county. The Reverend
Frank resides in the neighborhood known
as Fort Prairie, east of this CITY, and has
always been regarded as man of consid-
cradle influence with his race. There were
some charges brought against him in
some society to which he belonged and
the society decided to expel him, and the
sergeant-at-arms was accordingly COM
manded to eject him from the floor of the
meeting. When he undertook this, how
ever, the Reverend Frank drew his gun
and created considerable commotion
among the "sistern and brothern."

Miss Nellie Miller, Miss Ellen Boroughs,
Miss Maggie and Master Merrill Bor-

ham, returned Saturday evening from a
visit of two weeks to Mr.. Boroughs' ranch
in Llano county. Their trip was one re-
plete with novel and amusing incidents
and romances, and all would have been
pleased to prolong their visit, but the
cold and relentless demand OF business
necessitated their return.

MANY THANKS.

There are comparatively few people
who recognize the Importance OF the
'intelligent compositor" as factor in an
ordinary newspaper Office. The g'ntle-

glory, and to keep from being hauled up
for not working the roads, know his
value, but even they hardly ever
give him as much credit as ne
can get at any grocery. There
is an alleged humorist connected with
