A STRONG LEGAL FIRM
Formed by Judge A. j. Booty and
MIR. sidney l.. samuel.

The event of last week in the legal
circles OF the city was the organization
OF the law firm OF Booty q Samuel,
composed of Judge A. ]. Bootay and
MIR. sidney L. Samuel. The former
came to this city 1--we years ago with
the reputation of one of the ablest civil
lawyers of the north Texas bar, which
prestige he has Increased during his
residence here. Many years service on
the bench give clearness to judgment
OF the law which is not apt to be gain
ed elsewhere. Judge Booty was elected
district Judge OF the Marshall district
in 1876 and served two terms. In 1884
he declined denomination and prac-
ticed law In Marshall until 1888 when
he was again elected to the bench. In
1891 he resigned and moved to Fort
Worth. While serving on the bench he
was famed for the accuracy of his
charges, his grasp of the law of evil
dence and his rlpencss in the law.
The Junior member OF the new firm Is

Worth with confidence, expects much
