to in yesterdays News, it was in the
case Of Elkins vs.. the State The Ian.
guage of the decision is ga complaint

Mr.. John Finks is business all the
way through. While Mr.. Edwin Gould
was being treated and champagned,
Finks showed him the Kingdoms Of the
world which lie down tho Braxos and
offered to sell him the Yrazos valley
road for $250,0O0. Here, Mr.. Gould,
he said, is the only road in the United
States that is worth $3.50, 900 before
single spade.full of dirt has been thrown
on the road bed, He made his impress

Ajury to-day trying a man under the
charge Of abusive language brought in q
verdict of not guilty, though it is said
to have been clearly proved that the
defendent held pistol to the mans
head and called him o . The
jury was right. The statute requires
that the language be calculated to pro.
woke breach of the peace, but this
was not calculated to provoke breach
OF the peace in man with pistol at his
head, no matter what the language is.
In the police court this morning

assault on Mr.. Fred Kingsbury, on
Wednesday evening last,was acquitted.

in fun. A large number Of eye wit
nesses, who had been subpenaed by
Marshal Neil, testified. The inciden-
tai testimony went to exonerate the po-
llceman from any charge Of neglect Of
duty and vindicate the city marshal
from random aspersions which could
have no effect on those who know him.

both, dressed alike, were present
young girl was introduced to one Just
as the other came up. She was Just
bowling to one when both came in TO-
Gus, and bewildered and frightened she
! raised her arms in the air and scream
ed, ooh, my Lord, there's two of YOU"
The young fellows are neat, elegant
and remarkably good looking.
