CRIMINAL LIBEL CHARGED.
Judge Schuetze of Austin Still After
Mr.. o. Mundelius.

Judge julius Schutze of Aus
tin, editor of the Texas Var
waertz, seems to be after Mr.. O..
Mundelius of this city with a
sharp stick. The judge has a
grievance and is rapidly riding
the grievance into a hobby.
Some weeks since he filed an affi-
davit in the Travis county court
charging Mr.. Mundelius and the
publisher of a Hallettsville paper
with criminal libel, it being
alleged that the prosecution grew
out of an article written by Mr..
Mundelius and published in the
Hallettsville paper which re-,
Elected on the judges admins
tration as an officer of the Sons
of Hermann. The defendants
gave bond and later the
cases were dismissed on
technical grounds. The judge
then sought surcease for his
wounded feelings in the Federal
courts by having Mr.. Mundelius
arrested for sending ibelous mat
ter through the mail. 1t was
proved that this was a joke and
the matter was laughed out of
court.
Wednesday afternoon Mr..
again fell into the
clutches of the law on the same
complaint. He was arrested by
Sheriff August Loessin of La
Grange on a charge of criminal
libel preferred in Fayette county
by Judge Schuetze. The defend
ant gave bond in the sum of 5000
for his appearance, Messrs. Paul
Fricke and F. Finke becoming
for him.

THE ELECTION.
Irrigation Got a Black Eye Tuesday,
Likewise the Balance of the
Amendments.

1t seems that the voters who
took enough interest in the mat
ter to vote at Tuesdays election
are in favor of the States rub
bling along with its present con-
stitution for another year or so.
Partial returns from various
sections of the State indicate that
about twenty per cent of the
voters turned out to the polls and
buried all three of the amend
ments. The fact that the Wes-
tern counties supposed to be
favorable to irrigation have not
been heard from may change
the result.
The returns from nine voting
precincts in Washington county
have been filed with the county
clerk. There are twenty-five
voting precincts in the county,
but at several of these no election
was held. The results are as
follows:
Prairie Hill: For irrigation 0,
against 9; for railroad bonds 0,
against 9; for validating bonds 8,
against 0.
Gay Hill: For irrigation 6,
against Is; for railroad bonds Z,
against 8; for validating school
bonds II, against O.
Cedar Hill: For irrigation s,
against O.; for railroad bonds s,
against O; for validating school
bonds s, against 0.
Lusk's Stable: For irrigation
"a, against 80; for railroad bonds
10, against 43; for validating
school bonds 40, against Is.
Berlin: For the irrigation
amendment 1, against 80; for
railroad bonds 1, against 90; for
validating bonds 2, against %.
Felder's Gin: For irrigation
10, against O; for railroad bonds
IL, against 1; for validating
school bonds II, against 1.

81, against 40; for railroad bonds
46, against 60; for validating
school bonds 70, against 81;

BRENNAN should do some tall

ANOTHER SORE SPOT.
Listen to the PLANT of the Eagle Pass
Band.

Band.
That aggregation of tamale
eaters and pulche drinkers known
as the Eagle Pass band took in
the Sant'one drill. While there
the 'steemed News and Post re-
porters patted them on the heads
a time or two by way of encour-
agement, which so swelled the
individual and collective era
NUNS of the aggregation that
they actually imagined they
could walk off with first honors
over our immortal Second Regi-
ment band. Of course the fact
that they didn't shows the
absurdity Of their expectations.
But just tune your ear for the
''roar" they are making.
A reporter for the Eagle Pass
Guide sought an interview with
Mr.. De Bona, leader of the afore-
said aggregation, and received
the following in part:
81 understand" said the guide
man, "that there is some talk of
a protest. Do you intend to take
any such step as that?'
'No. shall not" said Mr.. De-
Bona, "Some of the boys advo-
Gated it, but 1 do not encourage
the idea. 1t is a matter in which
there is really nothing to be done,
and l have decided to accept the
decision quietly. The judges
may have been correct and right
in their decision; again, they
may have been incompetent, and
again, they may have been dis
honest. But neither case is sus-
cepible of demonstration, and that
is why it is useless to make any
protest.
"What is your candid opinion
of the relative merits of the three
bands which held the three high
est places?"
"My opinion is that of many
other musicians-that the Bren-
ham band came third. The Dem
ison band was Enthusiastically

eyes, it seemed to with the
public, as well as with many pro-
fessional musicians with whom l
conversed."
What reasons could the
judges have had for rendering
an unfair decision ?''
" Well, possible none. But
you know that many men have
their price"
While the reporter was reflect
ing over this suggestion, the mu-
stefan continued
"The conduct of the BRENNAN
organization would have been
discreditable to lot of negro
Jakel, the leader,
was seeking information the day |
after we were established in
and he kept one or more
members of his organization
hanging about all the while. No
sooner had they heard US play
than they began to behave as if |
they regarded themselves de-
feated on the score of music, and
as if they would have to beat US
out of the prize,on technicality,
Or in some other way. They be-
gan to make charges of the most
character about US.
These were all met and refuted
promptly. The highest compi-
ment paid US during the whole
drill, was when the BRENNAN
leader charged US with being
professional musicians.
