Quick Work,

This morning as the Texas & Pacific
train pulled into the station q nicely
dressed young man stepped off quietly
and went around to the side away from
the depot. Chief of Police Lockhart
hurried after him, extended his hand,
and shook hands with the young fell
low; to all outward appearances the
young fellow was q friend of the
chiefs, but such was not the case.
The HERALD reporter followed the
buggy into which the chief had invit-
ed this young man to get; it was inn
mediately driven to the county's bas-
tile, and the young fellow registered
as J. E. Enson. For q few days he will
be q guest of the county.
Further Investigation on the subject
brought to light that Chief Lockhart
had few days since received tele-
gram from Sheriff Cabell of Dallas
county to look out for one J. E. Enson,
as he was wanted there for horse
theft. It was on this charge that the
young man was taken in this morning.
Chief Lockhart will hold him until
the officers arrive from Dallas to take
him back.

RIGHTEOUS KICK
Against An Objectionable Species
of Dead Beat.

This morning while the reporter was
on his rounds he went into one of our
leading news dealers to find if he knew
anything which was of interest to the
public, and the answer he got was:
"Well, I don't know if it is any news
to the public, but 1 have got q kick
coming, and you people succeed 80 we'll
with the kicks you register and keep
hammering on, that 1 would like for
you to get after these news deadbeats
that come in a store and spread out
| the papers and read them al if they
were in some public reading room.
"NOw l buy these papers t. sell and
I want to sell them. What is the use
of me trying to make q living out of
selling spapers when such deadbeats
come in and spread themselves out and
read all the papers and magazines that
I have for sale. don't mind q man
coming in and looking through q ma
gaZine to see if there is any thing in it
that is of interest to him, for that is
his privilege. But when one of these
beats comes in and lies ali over the
table reading the papers and maya
zines, it looks as if he ought to be
taught something.
"Of course 1 do tell some of them to
get out, but then there are a lot of fell
lows that even come In and pick up the
morning or afternoon paper and begin
to read it. Why don't they buy a pa
per if they want one? That's no way
to do. to come in and use our papers
when we buy them to sell again.

County Court.

The case of F. D. Montgomery
against Tom Gray, suit on a promis-
sorry note, was brought up for trial.
The plaintiff asked that the case be
tried but the attorney for the defend
ant claimed he wasn't ready for trial
because of want of special
witness that was not present. He
asked for Q further extension of time.
Up to time of going to press the court
had not called for jury.
Justice Of the Peace Bridgers today
handed in his resignation. JudR.
Bridgers stated that being q candidate
for the legislature he was unable to at
tend to the duties of his present public
office. Up to time of going to press
the court had taken no action on the
resignation.

Stamps and the Express Companies

The HERALD'S man on his rounds
this morning, lin trying to keep up
with the stamp agitation among the
public, called on one of the express
companies to find out If there had been
any more Instructions given in regard
to their payment of their part OF the
stamp tax. The HERALD'S man was
shown circular letter addressed to
agents, which was as follows:
I'm the matter of payment for re-
venue stamps by consigpors. please ad
wise your shippers that 1 am ad. ised
by our manager that q friendly suit
has been brought by merchants of New
York, to have the matter decided as
soon as possible, as to whether our &C.
ton is legal or not. The tax, if it is
finally decided to be payable by the
great hardship, and the express COM
panies will have to bear more than
their proportion of the burden of the
war. They are all willing to bear a
just proportion.
