THE TRlcKsTERs TRicKED.
A Lawsuit wnl lie the Result of the Horse
 Race Thursday Afternoon.


 Race Thursday Afternoon.
 There are quite Q number of sore colored sports in Pine Bluff. This soreness is the result of heavy blow their pocket books received by the termination of a horse race which took place at Jones Park Thursday afternoon.
 A race between two horses was made up, on which two factions of the aforesaid colored sports wageled about $400.
 One of the horses was owned by Wiley Jones. This horse was back ed by contingent headed by Joe Bearden to the extent of about $400.
 The other horse was backed by Jim Havis, Forrest Gay and num- Der of their friends, to like amount.
 The Jcnes horse was well-known to be the faster and better animal, but it seems that the Havis-Gay crowd of sports backed their animal for all the money that they could rake and serape up, for it is said that they believed they had hired John Mullins. the negro whe drove the Jones horse, to 4throw" the race, and allow the opposing and in- ferior horse to win.
 It seems that Mullins led the men to believe that he would throw the race up to the time the two horses were brought out on the track. The two horse were started, and instead of Mullin throwing the race, he did his best to win, and did win, by a good long distance.
 Here the trouble oyer the wagers begun. The money wagered on the result of the race was in the hands of stake holders, and when the Havis-Gay sports saw how they had been caught in their own trap, they went to the stake-holders and order- ed them not to turn over the money they held to the winners.
 This forced the crowd who had wagered their money on the Jones horse to appeal to the law to get the money they had won. Therefore, Joe Bearden, in the Jus tice Court of w. D. Vance, replevi- ed S230 of the money held by John Young, stakeholder, and SIS held by Mont Morris, another stake holder.
 Both sides to the wagers have em- ployed eminent legal talent to fight their cases before the courts, and at the present time most of the money bet on the race is being held by the Constable until the courts decide ownership.
 The manner in which the trick sters got caught in their own game is causing no little amusement in horse racing aid betting circles circles iiiil ii this city.

AN INDIAN ROMANCE.
An Englishnaan Captured by
Picture Eyes" a Redskin
Beauty

Bisnlark, N. d.. June 25.-
The marriage of Thomas d.,
Cronan, representing m Eng
lish syndicate, which sent him
here three years ago. was the
elimination of a pretty re-
nance, in which Picture Eyes, a
Siuox girl, is the crown jewel.
More then two years ago
young Cronan, an educated
Englishman and a man of the
world, rode over to Medora
and found a mob surrounding
a Jail and clanoring for the
life of an alleged Indian horse
thief, while kneeling before
them and pleading more with
looks and tears than words
was the Indians daughter,
Picture Eyes. Crenan's eio-
quence saved the Indian, who
proved innocent. Cronan
then sent Picture Eyes TO the
Indian school at Carlisle, Pa,
and she finished her education
at a seminary in St. Paul,
Mimi. Last evening she be
came his bride.

TEXAS COAST
WATERWAYS.
The Rockport Contention Is
Looked Upon as of Much
Importance.

Galveston, Texas, June 24.--
The call issued by Governor
Culberson yesterday fora con
vention at Rockport on August
% for the purpose of consider
ing the developing and opening
of the chain of bays, lakes and
bayous lying parallel to and
along the gulf coast, from the
mouth Of the Rio Graude to the
Mississippi, may prove to be
of Importance to Galveston.
Much thought has been given
to this subject by eminent en-
gineers and it is believed that
the time is not far distant when
the project of opening up the
whole coast country to inland
steamboat navigation will be
launched by the government.
It is more than likely that
all the infdencs and support OF
Galveston will be given to any
reasonable proposition that the
Rockport convention frames.

to the Mississippi in coDjunc-
ton with the improvement of
such waterways as the Trinity
and Brazos would be of i'm
mense value to Houston and
Galveston. Between this city
and the Rio Grande there eX-
tends, with but few breaks, a
chain of bays which require
but a moderate amount of
dredging to make them navi-
gable to boats of light draft. The
cutting Of canals through the
low lands that separate these
bays would make a clear
route from Bragos Santiago to
this city. This work has been
surveyed and is entirely
practicable. The cost of devel
oping the project and carrying
it through to success would be
very large, but il would be
small in comparison with the
manifold benefits it would re-
suit In.
The establishment of Nsystsm
of inland navigation al&g the
Texas coast would bring into
touch with the world a wonder
fnl territory of fertile, semi
tropical land, which only awaits
the farmer and the horticul!ur
list to make it one CT the most
productive sections of the coun-
try. The want Of facilities for
cheap and rapid transportation
has hitherto prevented the col
onization and cultivation of
w With 's' the inland D./sp."sa
up to navigation it%ould be
natural to deveISand deepen
the various bayous and en-
frances Of the bays so IS to
extend the territory open to
waterway communication.
The deepening of the many
rivers of Texas so rs to make
them navigable as far from the
mouth as possible within a
reasonable cost is likely TO be
put before congress before long.
These facts and that the
prosperity Of such coast towns
as Brownsville, Corpus Christi,
Portland, Rockport, Port La
Vaea, Matagorda, and Velasco
will depend largely upon the
utilization Of the inland water
route will give to the Rockport
meeting a strength and an in
#tiuence that will be felt through
out the State. Brazoria, Mata-
gorda, Jackson, Calhoun, Re
fugio, Arkansas, San Patricio,
Nueces and Cameron counties
are deeply interested in the
proposition to establish an In
land navigation route and any
proposition tending to bring
the project to the attention Of
congress in order to get govern
mental aid in establishment of
this undertaking will receive
their hearty support.
