II the fair association in this

is a world OF credit due to Judge
Barnard, who saved the day in
the committee room when the
resolution to abandon the fair was
under consideration and all but

know that San Antonio has some
citizens who are broad gauge
enough to do thing Of that kind
and then try and keep it a secret.
There is genuine modesty and
merit in such an act. In thus
speaking there is no disparage-
ment to the other gentlemen who
have come promptly forward with
generous offers. A few more such

Glance Through judicial Spectacles
at the Texas Libel Law and the GU
look for Responsible Papers.

Galveston, Texas, October 29.-The court
Of civil appeals today delivered an opinion
in the case of c. G. Dement, VS.. the Houston
Printing company. The appellant sued in
the district court of Washington county
for $4,000 actual and $4,000 exemplary dam
ages. on account OF the publication of an al
legged libel in The Houston Post. Julg
ment was rendered in favor of the defend
ant, the Houston Printing company, and an
appeal was taken. The case is now ie
versed and remanded to the lower court
for new trial. The opinion is as follows;
Appellant sued the defendant ior dam
ages for publication OF an alleged libel
consisting of the following statement:
Giddings Texas, November 2l.C. G. De-
ment formerly OF Washington couhtv. and
who was at one time u Baptist lrcacf err
was Jailed last night on n charge of horse
stealing. His SON Flaw, Joe Holson. was
jailed as particeps criminis. The horses
alleged to have been stolen We're the prop
erty of ]. c. Hillsman OF Ledbetter.
The defendant pleaded the truth Of the
publication. on Tie trial the court found
that the publication had been made but
that IL was true. The findings of the court
show. however. that it was true only that
the plaintiff had been charged with horse
theft and put in Jail upon the charge, and
not that the charge itself was true. This
the court held TO establish the truth of
the publication and TO justify it, The
facts, in brief, were that one Saunders
had been deputy sheriff of .'ayctte coun
ty and the successor OF his principal. the
sheriff, lad qualified. but Saunders was
! ignorant OF the fact. In company with one
/ Bemshausen, Saunders went into Lee coun-
| ty to plaintiffs home, where Bcmshauser
/ identified plaintiff and his soL- in law, Joe
/ Holston as the parties who we're supposed
/ to have stolen two horses belonging &c
one Hillsman. Saunders had warrant
for the arrest of plaintiff. Dut Informed
plaintiff that he must arrest him, stating
the charge. and plaintiff, knowing thai
Saunders had no warrant. consented 10 sC
with him to Gidlrgs. At shat place, plain
tiff over his violent and indignant 9i0tect
was confined in jail lie charge thu:
made against him. and was aftcrws:G lie
