ALWAYS IN ERROR.
An Express Reporter Gives the 6
A. P. a Black Eye-The InJunc-

A. p. Black Eye-The Injunc-
ton Suit Laid Out Cold.
| When the LIGHT announced in ;
three line item on Saturday the de
csion of Judge King in the S. A. P
receivership case, it announced the
exact facts without comment, as il
was time to close the forms. Thai
announcement was-"At 2:3O d. m
Judge King sustained attorney Hous.
tons exception to Kiel's petition and
refused to appoint receiver"
In reporting this case in Sunday
mornings Express, the reporter seems
to have confOunded Kiels suite on
note, with the petition for receiver
which was filed in connection there
with. 1t is this suit for 50, l47 on prom
isary note, validity OF which is denied
that is continued and not the suit for
| appointment of receiver. Any other
view of the case is erroneous and cal
culated to vitality injure the San An
tonic and Arkansas Pass railway COM
pany, at home and abroad. 1t is very
much to be regretted that this mistake
has been made.
The San Antonio and Arkansas Pass
road, during three years of the great
est dearth and business depression
ever endured in southwest Texas, built
and equipped over five hundred miles
of road and has now under contract
one hundred miles more, and in no
small measure has saved this city and
southwest Texas from financial dis
aster.
Some local feeling has arisen against
the road, as there is against every
road, and advantage has been taken
of this feeling by a small creditor
claiming less than $4,000 to attempt
to throw the road into the hands of the
court.
In this attempt, which has so sig
nally failed, Judge King gave the
plaintiff every consideration and de-
clared that he would have granted
the application for receiver, no mat
ter how small the claim of the petit
toner, had the liabilities been in ex-
cess of the reasonable market value of
the assets. But they were not, the
Judge finding the allegations of plain
tiff wholly inadequate to authorize
UDo 8hOIhS vi OLiO appIsCdClOls
That is in plain unvarnished Eng
lish. the application for a receiver is
knocked cut cold, and righteously
because the judge finds nothing
authorized such appointment. For
this verdict San Antonio gives thanks.
The S. A. & A. p. has disbursed good
meney in this city, is doing so every
day, has added very materially to
it's commercial increase and is des-
tined to add more year by year.
Not only so, the road has large ex-
tensions On hand, and the appoint
ment of a receiver would only depre-
ciate property that is growing in
value every day, while it would do
nothing to relieve it from some local
feeling under pressure of which this
receivership was petitioned for.
The decision is good thing for the
road, it is better thing for San An
tonic, and it will settle the question of
the appointment of receiver upon
the application of every small creditor
the road may have.

Destruction Increasing.

HELENA. Mont, August 19.-The
forest fires which have been raging
all over Montana and have destroyed
hundred of dollars worth of timbers,
have reached most alarming proper
tons. A gentleman just in from
northern Montana reports that OH the
ranges in Chouteau county, which
have heretofore escaped, and on which
cattlemen were depending to keep
their stock this winter. thousands
of head of cattle are burning.
The big companies have over 800
men out trying to suppress the
fire and save their seed, but the
small streams are all dried up
and the flames lean over them
as quickly as if travelling on the open
prairie. In two days the fire travelled
over section of go miles wide and
100 in length. Georgetown is sur
rounded by fire and heavy wind has
brought the flames within five miles
of the Phillipsburg mill of the BIZ
metallic Mining company, near that
town, in great danger. Couriers who
have arrived lately ut Phillipsburg
from Georgetown report the utmost
CONSERVATION prevailing in town and
that large force of men are going to
the rescue. In the Yellowstone
pineries the fire covers an area of s
miles and is spreading rapidly. The
ranges in that section have been al
most entirely destroyed.

Hardly Professional.

What has the Southern Pacific
road got against the Arkansas Pass?
is question which has been asked
In the street great many times
since last Friday. There is a good
deal of unfavorable comment heard
because the Southern Pacific has
allowed its attorney, the Hon. Column
bus Epson, to appear as associate coun-
sci for the plaintiff in action for re-
ownership for Arkansas Pass.
San Antonians are not likely to per-
NIT such an act of hostility against
a railway company which is so much
a home institution as is the Arkansas
Pass and one that has done so much
to build up this city. To throw this
road into court would be hard blow
to this city, and it is not court eous,
to say the least, for the Southern
Pacific to lend itself to this attempt.
