QUANAH TALKED ABOUT.
What Judge Coombs Has to Say About
Quanah and the Panhandle.

What Judge Coombs Has to Say About
Ouanah and the Panhandle.
Judge Coombs, type of the enterprising
Panhandle citizen, but more especially an
exponent of the possibilities of Quanah,
was upheld by a GAZETTE reporter yester-
day. and nothing but Quanah could be
gotten out of him.
ITO begin WITH" said the Judge. II want
to tell you what Pat Dooling. the cattle
shipper Of the Denver, said" and with an
air similar to the Fort Worth man when he
tells the stranger what Britton said about
more people getting on and off in Fort
Worth, etc, he informed the reporter that
Pat Dooling had said that Quanah will be
the largest cattle-shipping point on the
Denver road.
You know" continued he, ''that the
Tooth meridian is the quarantine line estab-
lished BY the government, across which cat
lie cannot be driven on the trail, from the
South or East. The cattle bound for
northern markets are driven as far as
Quanah (you know it is cheaper to drive
than ship, and from there they are
boarded for the Northern markets. Cattle
within the Panhandle from the Tooth me-
ridian, may be driven north, but we happen
to be just this side of the line Cattle
buyers from Kansas City and st. Louis are
making Quanah their headquarters on ac-
count of this quarantine line.
Il don't want you to forget TO mention
our new college.
Doctor Dickens, formerly of Tennessee
but late of Corsicana, Tex, and an educator
Of reputation, went prospecting in the Pan
handle about month ago for healthy site
Tor Z female college, which he intended
building. He struck Quanah, our citizens

The Village Lamplighter.

In some suburban villages the lamp
lighter makes his rounds in sulky. He
may not have greater number of lamps
to light than his city brother but it may
be that they are further apart, and to get
over the ground in time he must drive. He
does not carry the inclosed torch that is
commonly used in the city, for he doesn't
need it; driving up under the lamp, he is,
when standing in the sulky. high enough
above the ground to reach the burner, and
he lights the gas with a match.-New

SUIT IN CONVERSION.
Purchaser at Sherif7s Sale
Made the Defendant.
MRS. coRT's DIVORCE CASE.
Granted . Decree Against . Former
Husband-Bunkoeds Saloon Keeper
Sues the swindlers.

The trial Of tho case of Mcconnell q Thar.
rington vs.. David Kaufman, which IL an action
In conversion 70 recover ~ 900, was begun yes
ferday before Judge Osborn. The case is an in.
teresting one by reason of the numerous COM
plications. In the fall OF 1889 the firm Of Nc
Connell, Parker & Co., dealers in clothing and
furnishing goods, had place of business In .
tent on Second street This Mcconnell was .
brother OF the one OF the firm of Mcconnell d
Harrington. The merchants became involved
and made bill OF sale OF the stock OF goods to
Mcconnell & Harrington The bill of sale was
given for an express consideration of 1900,
which was claimed to be represented by the sur
render of notes held by Mcconnell & Tharring-
ton, as we'll as their assumption OF certain debts
owed BY the clothing Arm. They also agreed to
take up 81, 800 note executed In their favor by
Mcconnell, Parker & Co., and which was pledged
in the Merchants National bank to secure a note
of their own for $500. The bill OF sale was taken
after one attachment had been levied on the
goods, and 1t was followed by other attach
ments. In March, 1890, the sheriff sold the en-
tire stock to answer the attachments, notwith.
standing the notice of Mcconnell & Harrington
OF their bill of sale. The purchaser was David
kaufman, who 10 the defendant In the suit now
IN progress.
Kaufman sets up three defenses: First, that
the bill of sale to Mcconnell & Harrington
was fraudulent. Second, that the sherif's sale
passed good title, fnasmuch as there had been
an attachment on the goods before the bill of
sale passed. Third, that Mcconnell d Thar
ringson have affirmed the sherifrs sale because
they did not take up the 81 800 note which was to
be part OF the consideration for the bill of SALE
The Merchants National bank sued on the
note, having got out an attachment against the
stock OF goods, and recovered the full amount
out OF the money paid the sheriff by Kaufman.
After the bank secured the amount OF the note
OF $500 against Mcconnell & Harrington, the
balance recovered on the 81 800 note was turned
over to them
