BEE COUNTY AND BEEVILLB.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and
Investors.

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, aud 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay lsub-soil Is the pre-
vsiling quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
pillow. Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins a month earlier and con-
tinues a month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and all
kinds of vegetables grow to great perfeo-
ton. Pears, peaches, piums, apricots,
figs, oranges, bananas, strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds of small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opensd around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for incl and
fencing About three-fonrths of the coun-
ty is susceptible of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses and mules has
been the chief occupstion-ef ths people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given to improving the breeds. and
stock farming is destined to be the lead
ing industry. The blizzard's chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee
county and has but little influence upon
the thermometer. Sixty miles is far
enough removed from the gulf TO get full
benefit of its constant and glorious
breezes shorn OF its excess Of salt and
humidity and perfumed with the fra

PRODUCTIONS.

M Within the limits of the counties traversed
by the San Antonio and Arkansas Pass Railway
grow luxurant crops of wheat, oats, barley,
rye, buckwheat, corn, sorghum, millet, alfal-
ia, broom corn, castor beans, peas and beans
of all varieties, peaches, pears, piums, grapes,
figs, and other fruits, tomatoes and all other
vegetables, melons of every variety and great
size and usciousness, all kinds of grasses, flow
ers and nursery stock. The grains and fruits
of the North as well as the Southern staples
are all here, and intelligent cultivation alone
is needed to make of this region the garden
spot of America.
There is not a county through which this
road pssses that does not afford thousands of
acres of soil adapted to the growth of what is
above enumerated and much more.

WHAT 1T OFFERS.

1t is along the lines of this road that South
west Texas offers such inducements to settlers
as would, if fully understood, rapidly fill this
whole region with corn and cotton farms, fruit
orchards and vineyards, vegetable gardens
and root crops of all kinds. The lands through
which this road runs are very fertile, well
watered and timbered. The climate is unsur-
passed and there is not any section of the
country through which it passes in which
farming operations cannot be successfully
carried on. Fruits, grapes, vegetables and
melons ripen and are marketed weeks in adj
vance of other sections. Write to

"FRANK" aRAHAMs ESCAPE.
The Young Thief Keeps Well Out OF


The Young Thief Keeps Well Out of
the officers Way.
"Frank," alias "Sam" Graham, the negro
boy charged with stealing $50 from the
safe in Mrs. Barie's drug store on West
Broad and Bryan streets, two or three days
ago, has outgeneraled the officers so far.
Justice McDermott received information
of the boy day before yesterday through
merchant at Burroughs station, on the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway. The
merchant said that he sold boy ticket
to Fleming and also Sc worth Of goods. He
said that he asked the boy where he was
from, and Frank" replied that he worked
in drug store on West Broad street.
AS soon as the magistrate received the
information Chief Green was consulted,
and Detective ST Basch went down to
Fleming to see what could be learned of
the young thief's whereabouts. A war
rant was sworn out in Magistrate McDer-
motifs court, charging "Frankn alias
Sam" Graham with stealing the money.
The detective returned yesterday, but with
out Graham. He was unable to get trace
of him, and the warrant was left with an
officer at Fleming to execute, in case the
boy was seen there again.
1t is learned now that the boys mother
lives in the country, seven miles from
Fleming, and it is believed that Frank"
has gone there.

a Convict's Request of the Judge.
After he was Sentenced.
"Boss, won't you please ak de cont ledge
ef may tote de guitah wiv me wen goes
to de cold minesp This was the last re-
quest Willie Moore (colored) made of his
counsel, Thomas s. Morgan, Jr,, after the
prisoner had been sentenced last night to
two years in the penitentiary, having been
convicted of shooting at John Graham.
The court had no objection, if the sheriff
ana penltentiary guard has not, and Sheriff
roman told the one-handed prisoner he
could take his guitar along.
Like so many of his race, Moore has decided
musical talent, and he soon became an ex-
pert guitar player Four months ago he
drltted to Savannah, making money here
and there by his musical performances. He
has learned to write very fairly with his
left hand, and he wrote out a version of the
causes which led to MS shooting at Graham,
and handed it to the court reporter of the
MORNING NEWS, with q request that it be
published, saying at the time that he had
never been in trouble in the courts before.
Moore is not a bad looking boy, yet the
evidence was too strong against him, and
an earnest appeal for clemency by his
counsel increased the sympathy for him
Moore halls from New Bradford, Fla,
aud is not yet n years old. In a boys
fight six years ago his youthful antagonist
bit him on tie right hand, and
pyemia setting in, the hand had to
be amputate1 to- save the arm.
Moore says in brief that he was in a shop
on Bryan street Dec. % last, aud Graham
wanted him to play the guitar. Moore
said he was trying to-get money to make
his way back home and told Graham so,
asking him If he would pay HIM for play
ing, when Graham insisted on having the
music without paying for it, and Moore
still refusing, Graham threw 50 on the
counter and boosted that he would not pay
for the music but he had plenty of money.
and becoming angry at Moore drew a knife,
and when Moore also drew knife to de-
fend himself Grahamcut at him. Moore says
he ran out in the lane pursued by Graham
who finally cornered him in q square and
cut him in the hand. Then Moore drew his
pistol from a vest pocket, fired, missed,
called for help, threw his weapon on the
ground, and grabbed Graham's hand to pre-
vent him from using the knife, and so held
him until policeman came up and took
them both to the barracks.
Moore shows q scar on his thumb, where
he says Graham cut him when Moore
caught his hand There was some tall
swearing on both sides, and the court did
not give the full penalty, although there
was no recommendation for mercy. He
could have sentenced the prisoner to four
years, and he gave him but two.

"GWINE" TO HAVE HIS MAN.
A Bad Joke Put Up on Justice Kelly's
Constable

SOu5LdOlSs
Constable Staley of Magistrate Kelly's
court had queer experience with the law
day or two ago, and in his official capacity
as an officer he is somewhat disappointed at
the way Sheriff Roman keeps prisoners
locked I'D in the jail. When Staley
left the city on mis- way back to Justice
Kelly's office he had not fully recovered
from his surprise, and he was soliloQuzing
on the question of Outraged jestes."
The son of John Paschal the negro who
was sentenced to six months on the chain
gang in the city court, Monday, for the
larceny of trunk from Ambas Peak, went
before Justice Kelly and asked that a
warrant be issued for Peak, and that he be
arrested and made to give bond to keep the
peace. The warrant was issued with the
usual promptness and was put in the hands
Of Staley, who placed the "docyment in
the inside pocket of his coat, jumped
astraddle Of his white mule, and, with
cheerful "gee up" started for the city.
When the constable reached town he
made a few inquiries and soon located Peak,
who was unconscious Of the situation. He
was pointed out to Staley, who ap-
preached him, and, tapping him gently on
the shoulder, said:
1--WE got a warrant for you"
"a warrant for whatg' asked Peak, look
ing up in surprise.
"a warrant for disturbing de peace"
answered the constable, his breast heaving
with emotion as he pulled out the warrant
which had by that time become full of
creases and wrinkles, and which presented
rather soiled appearance.
8: All right, VI said Peak, "if yer is a con-
stable Use better go wild YER"
Peaks words made an impression upon
the constable, who smiled smile of salts
khau oko ,-Na off
Before they had gone far, however, Peak
asked the constable if he could see his law
yer, and the constable acquiesced. Peak
mad talk with Lawyer Morrison and they
started together for Magistrate Reynolds
office, where Staley said the warrant was.
When they reached the Office Staley was
asked for the warrant and he replied:
Judge Kelley got um."
Mr.. Morrison at once notified Solicitor
General Fraser's Office, and after telling
MN the nature of the case, secured Peaks
discharge. Peak was given the discharge"
and told not to say anything about it to the
constable until he got to the Jail, and then
hand 1t to one of the jailers. Mr.. Morrison
Told the constable that he would have to
arrest Peak at his own peril, as he had no
warrant, and the constable replied:
4. Oats all right, boss; Use gwine to bring
dis man to JAIL"
/ After obtaining committal he went
down to the Jail and told Sheriff Roman,
who was at the jail, to ''put dis niger in a
cell, and left.
Peak handed his discharge to Sheriff Ro-
IAN, audit soon appeared to the sheriff that
twas joke perpetrated upon the constable,
aud he Immediately turned Peak loose.
=, AS Peak stepped out of the jail-yard gate
H l1e9 constable got glimpse of him. Staley
I'D not modest Peak after that, and he
walked as fast as he could to get away from
him,
