commissioned Felder,s Resignatlon,

The resignation of Mr.. R. K. Eel
der as county commissioner of Pre-
cinct No. 2 was briefly mentioned in
Friday mornings paper. Following
is the full text of his letter contain
ing his resignation:
10 Hon. l.. Kirk, County Judge
of Washington Co.
Sir:-I respectfully tender my
resignation as commissioner of pre-
cinct No. 2 of Washington county.
While I have the honor of being the
only white man elected from my
precinct since the war, it is extreme
ly notifying to know that 1 am the
only one indicted by the federal and
district court grand juries, and that
my official acts have been criticised
ard condemned more than all my
illustrious predecessors, viz: John
Cain, Fl. II. Knoxon and Allen
Wilder, If grand juries would pay
more attention to the suppression of
crime that stalks abroad in the land,
and indict those who obstruct the
roads, and overseers who fail to do
their duty and with which offense
they seem to be so familiar, they
would better subserve the interests
of the county and the object for
which they were appointed; and if
the individuals who find so much to
complain of would attend one session
of the commissioners court and see
what they have to do and contend
with, they would be more disposed
to sympathize with rather than to
condemn their actions. Long before
1 was elected to the position I was
convinced that no man Of ordinary
intelligence would accept the Office
for personal considerations, as there
is neither thanks, honor or pay at
tached to it, but any amount of labor
and abuse. While L regard the acts
of all the county officials open to
Just criticism, it should be done in
discreet and intelligent manner, and
not make wholesale charges against
all of the commissioners for gross
negligence of duty, when, perhaps,
there may be one case in a single
precinct that would require the action
of a grand jury. IT is not the pro-
vince of the commissioners court to
enforce the law, as a great many
seem to think. They can only re-
port to the grand juries and prose
cutting attorney Gas any other indi-
yidual has right to do) such cases
as come within their knowledge, and
which has been done repeatedly by
this court without result. With the
satisfaction that comes from the
knowledge of pleasing those who
best know me and elected me to the
position, and the furthur concious-
ness of having done my whole duty,
I remain your humble servant,
r. K. FIELDER.

Gene of the murder and the meas
of his foot with the tracks
at the corpse corresponded exactly.
It was shown that the cartridges for
the gun were purchased under sus-
picious circumstances, that the pris-
oner disappeared after the killing
and never came back after the
money due him. 1t was prther-
more shown that nobody W the
prisoner leave the place, and nobody
saw him until he reached his fathers
four or five miles distant, showing
that his movements had been con-
Quoted stealthily. The only thing
which kept the jury from hanging
him was the failure of the prosecu-
ton to introduce evidence to show
that any blood was found about his
person after the murder.
Wednesday-The case of the State
vs.. John Wiede, which had been pre-
viously set, was called, and Judge
Garrett being disqualified, Special
Judge Alexander assembled the
bench. This is the case in which
the defendant is charged with a
number of others with being impli-
Gated in the hanging of Jack Walker,
a colored boy, out in the postoaks.
The special venire was exhausted
and only two jurors were obtained.
Between forty and fifty talesmen
were then summoned and from them
the remaining ten jurors were OBJ
tanned by 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
The introduction of testimony was
then begun. There are about thirty
witnesses in all to be examined,
and the case will hardly be conclud-
ed before tonight.
On the civil docket Judge Garrett
entered a judgment of compromise
in the case of VIM. Seidel VS.. Ed
Mccarthy, suit for land out on Mill
creek. By the terms of the com
promise judgment was entered in IA
vor of the plaintiff for $3.50 with the
foreclosure of lien, but with the un-
derstanding that execution should
not issue before the LIST of next
January.
Jim Williams, who was convicted
the day before of the murder of
Max Bremen, was brought into
court, and having relinquished his
right of appeal, had sentence passed
upon him, condeming him to penal
serYitude for life.

The City Election.

The city election in Brennan on
Tuesday resulted in the reelection
of all of the present officers. As
previously stated the only opposi-
ton was in the race for mayor, bar
ring one or two scattering votes for
Sebe Crenshaw, who came in as a
dark horse for city marshal. The
contest was quite spirited, although
the weather was very inclement and
made it quite disagreeable to stand
around the polls. The total vote
polled was 749; which liked from
fifty to seventy-fve of being a full
vote. The majority for Mayor VII
kins was ffty-one. Following is the
vote by wards:
First Ward-Wilkirs, 50; McFar-
land, 81.
Second Wilkins, 1O7; Nc
Farland, 76.
Third Ward-Wilkins, 6S; Nc
Farland, 70.
Fourth Ward-Wilkins, 143 Nc
Farland, LA.
After the election was over con-
siderable cheering was INDUCED in
by the friends OF Mayor Wilkins,
and the result caused considerable
citation.
The judges and clerks of election
desire to return thanks for very
fine dinner to which they were treat
ed by the opposing candidates for

Mr.. GEORGE B. DAVIS, formerly OF
Independence, well-known through
out this county and prominently
identified with the Baptist church,
and who is at present residing in
San Antonio, was arrested the other
day on an affidavit charging him
with fraud in land transaction and
was taken before a justice of the
peace and bound over to the grand
jury in the sum of $1,000. AS one
of the trustees or agent of the Ala
mo Baptist church Mr.. Davis con-
tracted to sell a piece of property
belonging to the church to the San
Antonio Turn Verein for $4,000 and
received as earnest money $1,000. A
Nebraska party came along before
the papers were signed and offered
$4,000 for the property, and the
other trustees of the Baptist church
thereupon refused to recognize the
first sale by Mr.. Davis.
