It is well enough for the news
papers of the county, and their
duty, to ventilate all important
questions Of the county, but when
the controversy Oh any subject is
raised to boiling heat, it does great
harm. The con. missioners' court.
can only work for thu best interest
of our county if we work in har-
mony,, and earnestly hope it will
return to that channel. No one,
member must try to rule the action
of the court. Respectfully,

KILLED.

A terrible tragedy was enacted
at Salem Church, eight miles below
Sweet Home, Saturday, in which
VIII Lewis and Whit Bosworth
were shot to death in q dual. 1t
was claimed that Bosworth had
made some remarks of a scandalous
nature about Lewis sister which
came TO the ears of Will Lewis, who
vowed vengeance.
On Saturday word was sent
through the settlement for every
one to come to the cemetery and
cut down the weeds and clean up
the yard generally. About 200
people came bringing their dinners.
After dinner, Win Lewis rode up
to the yard, and dismounting tied
his horse and walking UP to Whit
Bosworth tapped him on the shout
| der and the two walked off about
hundred yards and stood talking.
No one VIII ever know what passed
between themas both are dead, but
it was seen that they were both
excited. Finally Bosworth turned
as though to walk off when Lewis
drew a revolver and opened fire.
Quick as flash Bosworth also
drew pistol and the two stood
face to face and fired bullet after
bullet into each others bodies UNI
til both fell. When friends reached
the spot Lewis was already dead
while Bosworth was gasping and
was unable to speak, He only
liNed-a few minutes. The wildesS
excitement prevailed. Lewis was,
shot three times through the body,
and once through the arm. Bosa
worth was shot twice in the head,
twice inthe body and once in the

car illustrate best by referring
to the last bridge contract. The
county had three iron bridges to.
let last year, the large bridge at
Halletsyllle included. There were
nine different companies present.
Some had strong bridges for reason
able prices, and some had light
bridges for smaller prices, but much
too dear in comparison with a good
bridge. Seeing that the men with
the honest work had no show, we
rejected all bids, The King Bridge
Co., S. A. Oliver. agent, had the
heaviest and best plans, and the
gentleman was kind enough to let
us have the same for all others to
bid on by the next day at 10 o'clock.
Our former county judge did not
threaten the commissioners court
that be would not sign the con-
tract if the King Bridge Co. got it
to save the country from ruin.
The King Bridge Co., like the Die
bold Safe ~. Lock Co., has had
former contracts with our county
which they got without competition
and got too much for the work.
Blame those commissioners for
that Int not the contractor. But
here | must say that the King
Bridge Co. built US cheap bridges
also, and ali the bridges Mr. Oliver
built are today the best in the
county. The Diebold Safe Co. be-
ing a frst-class company, the court
was justified to get their plans for
others to bid on. The people can
rest. easy, we will get all the COM
petition we can get to bring the
work down to the market price.
When the bridge bids were opened
next, morning, the King Bridge Co.
was-not awarded the contract. The
Penn. Bridge Go. got it, being 5000
cheaper, and they burned their
fingers on the contract. But La
vaca county got three of the best
iron bridges for a lower price than
ever beforep.
| have no favorites to protect,
and no enemies to be after; my vote
will 90 to the firm where we get the
best work for the most reasonable
price. Build the court house away
from the square or a free open
place, and | will not insist so much
on the independent vault.

fine rock. and trimmings so that
there is nothing left to build a Sc
cure place where our records are
safe under all circumstances Mr..
Heiner has told me and the other
members, time and again, a hall
rock and half iron vault is good,
but an independent vault is the
safest Let us have the safest by
all means. San Antonio just com
pleted i'll their fine new court house
an independent vault worth $14,-
900. But what 90 we. care what II
few other counties do. We build
our bridges to fit our creeks, and
we will build the court house to fit
the place where it is put.
The people of Lavaca county well
know how bitterly was opposed to
putting the court house on the same
place, and how much county judge.
ID. A. Paulus, and Mr.. Weller were
in favor Of it. Well, the majority
finally voted that way, and L made
up my mind that the court house,
standing here surrounded by large
wooden. buildings, had to have
under all circumstances a frst:class
vault in it.
OF course we intend to build the
court house so called fire proof, but
do they not in large cities build all
houses fire-proof, and don't they
burn out every day.
What would be the consequence
if we had our records destroyed by
fire or otherwise? Law suits with
no end to them; men living on
their paid for, hard earned homes,
would be perhaps swindled out OF
them, There are 1000 Of our most
law-abiding citizens who never
have any business in the court
house and pay their taNes willingly;
they have no benefit, except to
know that their field notes and rec
opds are safe under all circum-
stances. Therefor let us get the
best vault waaan get and save it on
the fancy part of the building.
1. am astonished at the poor
judgmentyour correspondent shows
in saying that "tha. old vault is
large enough for 100 years to come"
The county clerk has now outside
Of the vault large safe filled with
papers, and the vault is filled in
every corner.
Mr., .Heiner. our architect, stated
to the court when we talked about
the arrangement of the rooms, as
follows: "Allthe other rooms will
never be needed larger than you
make them now, except the county
clerks vault. | advise you to make
that room large enough, as the rec
ords swell enormous from year to
| year" And your correspondent
says that small vault is large
CROUCH fora hundred years to come?
Strange talk! \
The court1agreed to make the new
vault 30x26, and the contractor has
to move the old vault in the court
yard 50 the-records can be keptin
there. dnridg the erection OF the
building, and then it has to be
taken apart and put on top of the
new vault in the second story for
the district, clerk; all in the same
contract.
There is-so much stress put on
the question, "Why not give bids
both,ways-for a steel and for a
rock vault?@ Simply because the
court decides these questions in
regard to what they want; and we
never advertise for wooden bridges
when the majority of the court
wants iron bridges.
Also your correspondent speaks
of shutting out competition in adj
vance by adopting the plans Of the
iDiebold Sale Co., and that the peo-
| pie will not tolerate it iff they
understand it, but l. say they will

The Court House and
Vault Question.

In answer to an article by your
Halletsville correspondent from
May 19, l have undoubtedly some
explanations to make; there is an
other side to the question, and to
understand the matter fully, l. will
give the proceedings of the COM
missioners' court from the begin
ming.
After returning from investigat-
ing different court houses, the COM
lnissioners agreed to meet Mr.. &. I.
Heiner. architect from Houston, on
the Both of March. By motion of
j. D. A. Meyer that morning, Mr..
e. T. Heiner, architect, was APP
pointed to furnish plans and speci-
iicationS and superintond the con-
struction OF the. new court house
for five per cent of. the cost Of the
building. This is the customary
charge for that work. Mr.. Heiner
has to furnish plans until they find
the approval of the commissioners
court.
After dinner the oourt met in the
county judges room to look at diff
ferent plans. Mr.. Heiner also had
Il sketch. of. the new contemplated
court house; the arrangement of
the same found the approval of the
commissioners court. Mr.. 4,
Checker then, made The motion to
adopt this plan for the new court
house, which was seconded at once
by Nh. A. Weller. l asked Mr..
Heiner, "how much will the build,
ing cost by this plan?" Mr.. Heiner
answered, this house will cost
Lavaca oounty-just the building
$4,000" Iagain asked, without
g vault, without plumbing, without
furniture and without the archi-
tect's. pay?' MIR. Heiner said,
