Wheat Fields and PASTURE Lands.

1t is true of Tarrant county as we'll
as some of the counties north of Tar
rant that the October seeding of wheat
was regarded as lost. for it came up
only to get good start and then wilt
for lack of moisture as though dead.
Some planted seed that lay dormant
until the late rains and then the last
planting sprouted and the seemingly
dead wheat sprung into life and now
there is an excellent stand. There are
cases where the farmer failed To take
advantage of the earlier rains and thus
some of the planting is late. hut all the
earlier wheat is growing finely and
has good start for the winter. Be
cause of the short supplies of hay, cot
ton seed meal and similar fecdstuilS
many Stockmcn have seeded down large
tracts of land to use for late winter
and carly spring pastures.

Engaged TO rwo Married One of Them


An interesting case was tried in may
or's courtat Cleburne several morning 5
ago. A man named Lucas recently
married young lady. A young man
named Gibson, it seems, was also en-
gagged to her. He did not hear of her
marriage till the next day. His rage
was as intense as his disappointment
when the news was broken to him. AL
though but twenty-four hours behind
time, he swore in his wrath that she
should yet be his, and proceeded to the
house of the happy couple for the pur-
pose of putting asunder what God had
only a short time previous joined to-
gether. lie first begged her to go with
him, but on being refused he grabbed
her by the arms and tried to take her
by force, carrying her as far as the gar
den gate The mayors court not hav-
ing jurisdiction, the case was dismissed.

EVASIONS OF LAW.

Senator Chandlcr's Resolutions Intended
to Prevent the Present Loose Method
of Observing the Provisions of the Inn
migration Law.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The resolu-
tion introduced by Senator Chandler in
the senate last week asking the treas
ury department for information rela-
tive to its instructions in carrying ont
the provisions of the immigration law
passed by the last congress is said to
be intended to correct what is regarded
as an evasion of the law. Under the
law rs passed it is required that each
manifest shall take the names of nc
more than thirty steerage passengers
OF the examining surgeon and the con-
sular official shall appear upon the
back Of leach" manifest. This was
enacted so that il would be apparent
that emigrants should be carefully ex-
amined and there should be no inspec-
ton by wholesale as has occurred in
the past.
1t is said that the provisions Of the
law have been negatived By the in
structions issued to consular officers by
the treasury department, which allow
all manifests to be pinned together and
the certificates to be attached to the
back of the last manifest in the bunch.
Under such a ruling it is claimed that
any number of loose sheets could be
put in after the certificates had been
given and there would be no way of
detecting the fraud, thereby continu-
ing the very evil that separate mlni-
tests was intended to cure.

BROTHERHOOD ENGINEERS

Resolve to Aid Their Ann Arbor brethren
by simply Resigning Their Positions
Rather than Haul Ann fArbor Freight,
md the Courts Can not Compel Them
TO Work.
ToLEDo, o., April 3.-Meetings of en-
gineers and firemen were held in this
city yesterday. at which it was decided
to stand by the Ann Arbor strikers, no
matter what the decision of the court
expected to be handed down to-day
may be. When asked what action
would be taken in case the decision is
adverse to the men, the leaders say that
Ann Arbor freight will not be touched
under any condition. The suggestion
that this could not be done with re-
spect to the law il the courts decide all
boycotts illegal, brought out the fol-
lowing statement:
"The injunction has been brought
to prevent Chief Arthur from order
ing the engineers on roads connecting
with the Ann Arbor to refuse to handle
freight and cars of that road because
there is strike among its engineers
and firemen. We have no doubt that
the preliminary injunction granted by
Judge Kicks will be made perpetual
That does not prevent the men quitting
work, does it The fact is that Chief
Arthur has not the power to order
boycott or strike anyway. The MEM
bers of the brotherhood simply quit
without orders of anyone and it will
be a task for the court to reach the
power which causes the boycotts by
means of injunctions. We shall simply
resign from the service OF our employees
when we are asked to do Ann Arbor
business"
Judge Kicks will open court at $50
o'clock to-day and will give his deci-
sions in the cases for engineers who are
charged with contempt of his manda-
tory order issued on March II in Cleve-
land. He will also read the decision
reached by himself and Judge Taft on
the application of the perpetuation OF
the order restraining Chief Arthur
from ordering a boycott on the Ann
Arbor or roads handling Ann Arbor
freight
