WE'RE AFTER IT.
Fort Worth Wants One of the
Courts of Appeal
AND is GOING TO HAVE IT,
Though Dallas, Galveston and San An
tonic Are Combined Against Us.
The Work to be Done.
Circular Issued.

The committee appointed by the bar Of
this city is still at Austin. Attorney
Stewart and City Secretary Burns came up
yesterday from the capital, and to re-
porter these gentlemen said Fort Worth's
prospects for securing one Of the three
courts of appeal were very good, but that 1t
would require constant work. The COM
mittee now there viii be REINFORCED by At
torneys Stewart, Wynne and Peacock, and
possibly B. B. Paddock, all persistent men
and good workers.
The Roadway thus far made is as salts
factory as the surrounding circumstances
at Austin viii admit, caused by the general
interest IN the election Of United States
senator, which takes place on the 22d inst.
After that important matter has been
settled, the legislative members will have
Ssii5e to look after other things.
% 1t is understood Dallas, San Antonio and
Galveston are arrayed against Fort Worth
and Tyler in the endeavOr TO secure one OF
the courts. and the fight is being urged
with fervor on the part of Dallas, espe-
cially, as that place realizes the fact that
Fort Worth is in the fight to stay, and has
the support of the Tyler delegation and all
of Northwest Texas.
This city's chances are favorable, and is
so conceded by those of the committee who
efforts must of necessity be kept up, and
not allowed to pale away. Early in the
week circulars were printed and sent TO
Austin for distribution among the mem bers
of the legislature, setting forth the advaD-
tages of Fort Worth as location for one OF
the courts. This occasioned the Dallas
people to renew their efforts, and they are
now on the ground with full force of
lobbyists, who will stay at Austin until the
matter has been decided by the legislature
The same thing may be said as to Fort
Worth's committee-it has enlisted for the
war, and has the sticking qualities of a
leech No determined efforts by any other
city viii deter them from staying on the
battle field
The following matter has been addressed
the members of the legislature:
