established, that if one tenant in COM
mon in addition to mis- possession sets up
claim for greater interest
than he owns and excludes his
cO-tenant his holding becomes adverse
and may mature into title by limitation.
In such case the co-tenant has right of
action, either to establish title and be let
into possession with his co-tenant, or to
have partition. In this case the father
being entitled to only third inter-
est for life asserted title TO half in fee.
Plaintiff could have maintained at any
time a suit against him for title and par
tition or possession, in which the judg-
ment could have been so framed as TO
give him relief, and at the same time
protect his father in the enjoyment Of
the homestead and his life estate. Be-
sides the statute the doctrine of state de-
mand should ban an action, and this
Judgment is affirmed. Opinion by Henry

Mack Green vs.. the State; appeal from
Comanche county. Murder: Two err
rors are urgently insisted upon for appel
liant, that the court failed and refused to
submit murder in the second degree and
manslaughter, as issues in his charge to
the jury. In this case, upon the state
ments both of himself and his brother as
to how the homicide occurred, and which
statements were in evidence, the
meeting with deceased was purely
accidental, and they were justif-
able on the ground of self-defense
according TO the testimony of the prose-
cution, the homicide was a murder by
lying in wait-an assassination and con-
sequently murder of the first degree.
These were the only issues shown by the
record. This was the view taken by the
trial Judge, and his full ;, clear and sufi-
cient exposition of the law has been con-
sidersd and confirmed. Affirmed. Opinion

DECATUR, TEX. Feb. 1S.-The case of
the state against Dock Martin, charging
him with allowing 3 F. Paschal to es-
cape from the Denton jail in February :,
1885, was dismissed by County Attorney
McMurray this morning Paschal was
charged with murder, and Martin, A. L .
Freeman and Bart Witcher were guards
at the jail and Charles Mcdonald was
sheriff of Denton county, and the grand
jury of Denton county found true bills
against the sheriff and all the guards for
wilfully permitting Ben Paschal to es-
cape from jail. The sheriff's case was
dismissed. Freeman was tried at Denton
found guilty and sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary, and was granted a
new trial. He and Martin and
Witcher then got Il change
of venue to Wise county. Witcher was
tried and acquitted here, and Martin
was tried, found guilty, given two years
in the penitentarY., appealed and his case
was reversed. Freeman was tried here,
convicted and again had the verdict set
aside and new trial granted. Freeman
then took his case back to Denton and
has had his third trial and been ac-
quilted, Mr.. Paschal in the meantime
having returned to Denton and testified
on the trial of Freeman 5 case. In the
trial of Martin here, Bart Witcher testi-
fed that he turned Paschal out and
Freeman and Martin had nothing to do
with it, and it is said that PaSchal
says the same thing. Witcher
was indicted for perjury in the
testimony he gave in the trial of Mar
tin IS case, but the case was disposed of
without trial. So after three years
tendency in the courts great deal of
trouble and expense to the defendants
and a great expense to the state, the
Denton jail delivery cases are off the

pear and answer the charge against him

J. B. Duffy of Post Oak, writing to
the Jacksboro Gazette, says that with
ten acres planted either in sorghum or
johnson grass he can winter 100 head
of cattle with absolutely no loss. The
latter is objected to on the ground that
It is too hard to cut, but years of expe-
rience teaches that in one hour enough
can be cut to feed 100 head of cattle for
one day. He, after careful test, finds
sorghum to be positive preventive of
three of the most fatal cattle diseases,
/. e., the so-called murrain, infiamma-
ton of the stomach and hollow stomach. .
He also finds that saltpetre and epson
salts are an almost certain cure for the
so-called Texas fever. He also claims
that black leg'' can be prevented by
placing extra fat calves on such rations
as will tend to reduce their surplus fat.

osThe frozen meat trade, ,

''The frozen meat trade, - says Lon
don exchange, grows steadily despite
many difficulties and disappointments.
The importations Of mutton and lamb
into London and Liverpool have risen
from 400 carcasses in 1880 to close on
, 900 200 in 1888. The great bulk Of
these came to hand in good condition.
The quality of the New Zealand ship
ments, which are the largest in bulk has
tended to deteriorate, while the quaEty
of the River Platte sheep has improved
wear by year. New Zealand mutton is,
however, still distinctly superior to either
Australian or River Platte produce, and
that advantage may still be maintained
by care. The River Platte Is making Wig
orous efforts to increase its exports, and is
successful in doing so, being assisted by a
lower charge for freight, a bounty on
exports, and a low rate of exchange
Sales of frozen mutton were at first
confined almost exclusively to London
but with greater railroad facilities almost
the whole of the River Platte and nearly
half the New Zealand imports are finally
disposed of in the provinces. -

The Rehoboth Bill.

Representative Mauli's rev town
charter for RehOboth, is somewhat
peculiar. 1t starts out with preamble
recIting that the NJ. Z. Church has
practically abandoned the Rehoboth
Beach Association. This prepares the
reader for the charge that the associa-
ton has violated its charter in divers
ways, and the following resolution that
all supplements and amendments to
the charter should be repealed. There.
tore be it enacted that the stock issued
by the Rehoboth Beach Camp Meeting
Association be revoked, made null and
void, and any person attempting to
sell or trade in said stock shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
liable to a fine not exceeding $50.
Therefore, again, the charter of 1873 is
to be knocked and board of commits

A New Step in Japan.

Japan is now in the list of those
countries which have a written consti-
tuition. This instrument was promul-
gated from the throne last week bv the
Mikado. 1t establishes a legislature of
two bodies, the upper branch a House
OF Peers, the members of which are TO
be partly hereditary, partly elective
and partly nominated by the Mikado.
and the lower branch a House of Com
mons of 300 members, All men of the
age of twenty years and over who
pay annual taxes to the amount of
twenty five dollars are made electors.
This national legislature has the right
TO make laws, and also the partial con-
troll OF financial matters. The new
constitution establishes liberty of re-
llgion, freedom of speech and the right
of public assembly.
This experiment in constitutional
government will be watched with a
great deal of interest. Japan is a very
old and in many ways a very attrac-
tive country.
