THE CIRCUS.
Forepaugh's Great Show Greeted by Large
Business Yesterday.

buSl1eSS I6SUorudy'
Yesterday Forepaugh's great rail-
road show gave two performances
down on the old drill grounds, and
were greeted by something like 1000
or 5000 people. The exhibit was an
excellent one, though it was in the
beaten line of circus performances.
Some of the features were especially
good, prominent amongst them being
the exhibit of trained horses, the
tricks of the lions in the steel Gag G,
the trained corps of elephants, and
the various bar, trapeze and pole acts
by different members of the COM
bination.
The introduction of the famous Han
lon-volters was the occasion of a rare
treat. These famous swinging trapeze
performers stand without peers in the
land and the exhibit they gave yes
terday was in every respect excellent
Grace and precision marked their
every movement. They perform the
most difficult of feats with marked
ease while swinging thirty feet in the
air. The introduction of the wild
west features afforded much pleasure
to the crowd as did also the racing
of all nations. The show throughout
was well presented and fully equipped
in every department.

A RULING OF THE LAND OFFICE To
BE TESTED.
commissioner NcGaughey Refusing to Is.
sue Patents, the Law Has Been
Invoked, and Some Lively
Times Are Expected.

Yesterday morning Mr.. S. d. De
Dordova filed suit in the District court
against Land Commissioner Nc
Gaughey to compel him to issue GER
tain patents.
Allegations mainly material to the
issue complain of Mr.. McGaughey, as
state land commissioner, and VIM.
Won Rosenberg, ST., of Austin, in
this: That plaintiff is owner of a
certificate for six hundred and forty
acres of land issued by the commits
sioner Dec. 21st, '57, to D. H. McFad-
din, and also owner of a certificate for
six hundred and forty acres, issued
the same day by the commissioner to
Mrs. COrdelia Armstrong, now Mrs.
COrdelia McFaddin; that both certi-
ticates were issued conformable to an
act Of the legislature, entitled: can
act to authorize the owners of patents
issued to land in Greer county and
other reservations to surrender their
patents for cancellation, and to au-
thorize the commissioner to issue new
certificates in such cases." Approved
April lst, 1877; that said certificates
were duly located on certain described
lands in Runnels county; that plain
tiff is the owner of both said certifi-
Gates, and the aforesaid land upon
which they were located by virtue of
deeds from the grantors of the certifl-
Gates, executed in due form of law,
and properly authenticated by the
respective grantors; that said deeds,
with the certificates and field notes of
the lands are now on file in the gen.
eral land office; that the lands were
public domain, subject to location,
and that plaintiffs certificates are
valid.
1t is further claimed that by reason
of the facts alleged plaintiff is the
legal and equitable owner of the GER
tificates named, and the surveys as
located, and is entitled to patents to
the two tracts of land mentioned The
commissioner arbitrarily refusing to
issue patents to him, prevents his
selling the lands to his damage to the
extent of 6,175, or leasing the same to
his damage to the amount of $3.50,
annual rental.
Plaintiff alleges that Won Rosenberg
has no interest in said land, but as
plaintiffs informed sets up pretended
claim, of the nature of which, plaintiff
is not advised. Wherefore he prays
for Judgment and anulment of Won
Rosenberg's claim; that Commissioner
McGaughey be required to issue
patents to plaintiff as assignee of the
McFaddins; and if he is not entitled
to relief by mandamus against the
commissioner of the general land
office, that he have Judgment against
w. l.. McGaughey for damages as
stated
