The Texas legislature would lose
nothing by being compared with
the legislatures of other states.
Every legislature that ever
existed contained men utterly unfit
for the task of framing laws. Men
may not be dudes in their dress, yet
be the superiors in brains, of the
cynics who ridicule their disregard of
dudeism in apparel.

WILL WALLACE ON TRIAL.
The So-called Harris County Des-
perado Faces a Jury.


perado Faces a Jury.
COLUMBUS, GA, May 27.-This morning
the case of the state against Will Wallace,
young white man charged with murder,
came up for trial, and has been occupying
the attention Of the court all day. Wal
lace is charged with the murder of Engineer
Frank Huckabee in Columbus last Novem-
Der. He claims that the killing was in
self-defense. The career of Wallace has
been an eventful one, and this is the second
time he has been on trial for his life on
charges of murder. Wallace has not the
appearance of desperate. but has gained
reputation Of the RUDE Burrows order.
HIS FIRST HoMCIDE.
About two years ago Raris E. Gordon, a
Harris county negro, who had made himself
very obnoxious in the eyes of the whites,
was found dead with bullet hole through
his heart. Suspicion rested on Wallace,
and the Harris county grand jury indicted
him for murder. Wallace was arrested and
placed in jail at Hamilton. He had many
friends in the county, and one night they
broke open the Jail and set Wallace free.
For some months he remained at his cave
in the mountains. and all efforts to affect
his capture proved fruitless. Finally one
afternoon Wallace rode into Hamilton
armed with a Winchester rife and pistols
and proceeded to have a big time.
MADE PRISONER.
That night, by piece of strategy, he was
captured. He was tried for the murder of
Gordon shortly after. and was acquitted.
Nothing further was heard from Wallace
until last August, when crowd of men, at
a picnic in Lee county, pounced down upon
him, wounding him so badly as to make him
a cripple for life. He now goes on crutches,
and his friends say that he is more sinned
against than SHINING. Much sympathy is
expressed for him in the present case, and
the trial excites great interest. Huckabee
was an engineer on the Central railroad,
and a man of good standing, but was adj
dicted to drink. it is said. Pending argu-
ment the court adjourned until tomorrow

USE OF MICE TAILS.

Before we had much observed mice the
use Of their long tails was a question that
had puzzled us. We do not know of what
service they are to the females, but TO the
bucks they are, we see. of use in their COM
bats: for when they fight they very often
face one another standing on their hind legs,
the tail then making, as with the kangeroos,
the third feature of tripod.
Their appearance, when they thus stand
facing one another with their heads thrown
back and their paws in front OF their faces,
Is, on account, perhaps. Of the resemblance

AUGUSTUS COURT ROOM.
THREE SENSATIONAL CASES COME
UP FOR HEARING.

The Trial of Patillo for the Murder OF
Hudson Postponed "A Negro Sues
the Electric Railway Company for
$4,000 Damages - Awtrey Con-
victed of Bigamy.
AUGUSTA, Ga, May 27.-The Patillo@
Hudson murder case has been continued,
and will not be tried at this term of court.
Judge Twiggs, who. with Hon. J. r. Lamar,
is counsel for Patillo, is suffering from
liberated sore throat, and produced ply
sician's certificate to the effect that speak
ing would be quite injurious to him. On
his motion the case was continued.
In the city court to-day damage suit for
SO, 900 against the Augusta electric railway
was on trial Charles Andrews, a telephone
linenan, was stringing a telephone wire
when he suddenly received severe shock
which burned his hands badly, stunned him,
and threw him from the telephone pole to
the ground below, more than twenty feet
He fell on his back and sustained permanent
injuries of a serious nature It Is claimed
that the careless hanging of the electric
railroad feed wire allowed it TO fall against
the fire alarm wire, which crossed the tele-
phone wire, and which otherwise would
have been harmless The case will occupy
several days
CONVICTED OF BIeAMY.
In the superior court to-day William
Awtrey was convicted Of biRamy. He is a
married man, and few months ago COM
tracted second marriage with Maude
Weeks, a simple-minded girl The parties
are operatives in the cotton mills Miss
Weeks had been young woman of easy
virtue but had spent a season in the indus
trial home. reformatory institute for fallen
women, and was, so far as any evidence goes
to the contrary. leading a virtuous life.
Awtrey being rebuffed on making advances
TO her, offered marriage and was accepted.
He carried the girl over to Hamburg, S. c.,
where they were married, after which they
came back across the bridge and spent the
night together in the girls room. He gave
his name as James Allen, and that name
appears on the marriage certificate, which
Is IN the possession of his victim. He dis
appeared the next morning, and when next
heard from was trying to buy the mar
rage certificate. He was subsequently
arrested and prosecuted for bigamy. The
Issue of fact in the case is whether or not
Awtrey Is the man who married her, which
he denies, and the issue Of the law is that if
Jt was Awtrey the offense was committed in
Carolina, and the Georgia court has no
jurisdiction. The prosecution argued that
the proposal TO marry and the consent
being in Georgia, and the subsequent CO.
habitation being in Georgia an essential
marriage took place in Georgia without
reference to the ceremony in Carolina. A
verdict Of guilty. with recommendation
to mercy was returned The case will be
carried to the supreme court, as the de-
PENDANTS counsel insist that the crime was
committed in Carolina.
