NOTICE OF TAX SALE FOR 1896

By virtue of the tax role of the City

state of Texas, and city charter, and
city ordinances, in my capacity as col
lector of taxes for the City Of San
Antonio, have levied upon and will
during legal hours, commencing Oh
the first Tuesday in the month of
January, 1897, being the fifth day of
said month, and on each succeeding
day thereafter until the sale is COM
pleted, sell at public cutlery to the
highest bidder for cash, the described
parcels of land and town lots, lying
and being in said City Of San Antonio,
or such portions thereof, as published

miles away.
That ended the evidence for the pros
ecution, except the supplementary fact
that other people in the car had been
able to see the kissing in the dim light
afforded by the solitary lamp. Il
The attorneys for the road made no
attempt to prove that the circumstances
surrounding the kiss were other than
those described by the plaintiff. They
knew that any attempt to do that would
Immediately prejudice their case in the
minds of the jury and result in their
being mulcted out of the entire amount
claimed. So with suayity and Chester
fieldian diplomacy the counsel for the
company contended that such a high
valuation ought not to be placed on one
kiss. He pointed out that the railroad
was very sorry that one Of their con-
ductors should be so ungallant, and
the jury was told how he was dis
charged the moment news of the oc-
currence reached the officials. Their
plea was that they were very sorry, and
that they hoped the jury would not as
sess them the full amount claimed, as
they did not, nor could not, control the
mans actions in such matters, although
he was their employee.
The jury deliberated for over an hour
and reported a verdict of $3.50.

which gave George Levinsky, of Stock

when bevy Of quails arose and started
to fly straight for the train. The pas

and one of the bewildered birds hit
Leyinsky in the eye. The bird fell dead
to the platform, while Levinsky's eye
was bruised so badly that physician

AN EXPENSIVE KISS.

One OF the Most Extravagant Samples Of
the Osculatory Art on Record-Rail-
road Company Mulcted by an
Alabama Court.
What is the value of a kiss?

What is the value of kiss?
An Alabama court has decided that
$3.50 is ample compensation for one
hasty, short kiss, though the aggrieved
party placed the damages much higher.
This startling judicial decision was
handed down by the circuit court of the
state, sitting at Jacksonville, Ala There
is nothing more prosaic or stupid on the
surface Of the world than legal pro-
ceedings, and the papers in the case,
labelled "Kendrick VS.. the Atlantic &
West Point Railroad company, for S.
Coo damages" gave no clew to the in
teresting story which was developed
when the evidence was given.
According to the story of the fair
plaintiff, Miss Lizzie Kendrick, pretty
daughter of Calhoun county planter,
she was journeying one day on the rail-
way of the defendant company from
Admission, Ala, to Rome, Ga. The com
ductor was a good-loolSing, debonair
chap, with an inclination toward fir
tation, if the girl was pretty and with
lots of experience.
"He was so good to me, and did every
thing that he could to make the trip
pleasant that couldn't help thanking
him, and from that we got to talking
about other things"-was Miss Lizzie's
explanation of how 1t came about that
before the train had gone even half way
to the journeys end, she and the gay
conductor were chatting away as gayly
as you please. The conductor employed
the avenues of adroit fattery to win her
girlish condolences, and she-well, she
frankly confessed to tho court that she
liked him OF the time.
At this point in her testimony the
girls pretty face became suffused with
bushes. She halted and hesitated for
no apparent cause. at was this way.
