a large number of persons from
this place attended the recent picnic
of the San Antonio Frohsinn Singing

In writing up the affair in his paper
he says in part: THE Fruhsinn Sing

grand picnic at the Sour Springs, the
present terminus of the s. A & G..
railroad, about six miles west of this
place, last Sunday, which was largely
attended by the Stockdale people and
other contiguous places. Taken as
whole it was a pleasant outing for
people in a city like San Antonio who
are confined from day to day and week
to week to the assidious drudgery of
city life, which has to be experienced
to be realized. While there we made
among them Messrs. T.B Johnson and
Allie Martin, of the San Antonio Light
and Mr.. George Dullnig."
The committee informs us the $4,000
bonus to the railroad has been raised

that is not within police power, or of
which the plaintiff has a right to COM
plain, and the judgment of the Court
of Appeals is therefore affirmed"
The statutes of the state of Louisi-
ana require the owner of dogs to rem
der them to the assessor for taxation
in order to put them under the cata-
CORY of personal property. In failing
to do this, Sentell could not recover.
There is no statutory law governing
dogs and making them personal prop
erty in Texas; yet the Supreme court,
by an opinion rendered by them in
an appeal from the lower court has
placed dogs under the category of per-
sonal property, and a citizen of this
state can recover by law for any in
jury to them.
