Judge Estes came 20 Bowie

on and opened up a farm and also
an Office in the village and prac-
ticed law He was successful and
when the war broke out was iu a
fair way TO get rich from his farm-
ing and law operations. but he laid
this opportunity aside and went 10
the front as the captain of a COM
pany and he remained In the war
until the close.
When the war was over he came
back and took up the practice of
law and remained i'm Boston until
TeXarkana was opened as a city by
the extension of the railroad
here. He sold his possessions in
Boston and bought largely here OF
real estate, aud besides he was EN-
ployed in many land suits taking
his fee in real estate, which has
grown in value daily, and today, he
is perhaps, the best conditioned
man financially in Northeast Texas.
The judge occupied the iudgeshiu
of the Texas district for a number
of years and when he stepped down
no one could hint at a besmirChed
ermiue while on his shoulders.
He is today president of the
Texarkana National bank, an insti-
tuition that we all feel proud Of
and one that holds the confidence
Of the people through the integrity
the judge has established during
the years he has lived here.

HALE FINED $25
Pleaded Guilty to an Assault on the
Person of WRIGHT

J. G. Hale In department one yesterday
pleaded guilty to having committed an as
sault on the person of Wright, proprietor OF
the Rival restaurant, and was fined SIS
which he paid.
Last July, SO Hale alleged. he was re.
lieved Of diamond, valued at $685. in
Wright's restaurant. He accused Wright
of having stolen 1t, and as might be ex-
pected. the proprietor Of the establishment
resented the charge and free-for-all fight
ensued. During the combat Hale dis
charged a revolver. After the smoke OF
battle cleared away Wright accused Hale
OF trying 20 shoot him. and caused Hale s
arrest on a complaint charging him with
an assault with deadly weapon.
There was some question regarding the
point of the assault, as Hale commended that
he did not shoot at Wright, but shot more
for the purpose of frightening him. As
the latter could not bring witnesses to SUBJ
stant1ate his side Of the story, and as man
is supposed to be innocent until he is,proven
guilty, Deputy District Attorney James
said he would not object 10 the defendant
pleading guilty to simple assault. This
concession was accepted, and rather than
take time for the court to try the case. Hale
pleaded guilty.

yesterday morning. He stated that his

odor TO pervade the entire atmosphere In
the vicinity of the church. The bad smell
Is caused by the unsanitary condition of
the vaults on the church lot, and Health

are not connected with a sewer.
He has time and again ordered the
church trustees to have connection made

could learn and judging from the express
sions which I heard after our arrival there
on Saturday morning was the most sue
cessful and harmonious congress that has
ever been held. The strong current of SEN
timent was along the lines indicated in the
resolutions and I think that the work that
has been done during the last few years
to unite the movement along line Of def
mite policy such as is outlined in the reso-
lutions which were adopted has borne good
fruit, and that from now on the irrigation
congress will gain In influence and effective
strength.
1t seems to me that we have accumulated
in this congress everything that we hoped
for in the interests of California and es-
pccially Southern California; but the work
of the congress merely demonstrates the
feasibility of the carrying out of the policy
that We have been laboring for and 1t
should be impressed upon the people of
Southern California that If the plans out
ined by the irrigation congress are to be
carried out by the congress at Washington.
the work must not be dropped now, but
interest must be kept alive and the work
begun at Cheyenne continued at Wash

Of commerce and the Los Angeles board of

to understand that Los Angeles had ar
ranged to be represented at this session, as
she has been at previous sessions, by your
self, and sincerely hope that you may be
able to be in attendance at the next session

as his idea of fitting tribute to those who

Honored Sir: Now that the oil men,
who In the past have been permitted
to operate among modest homes" On a
way unpleasant and nasty, I admit,
have gone past them all and out into
an uninhabited section, there is no rea-
son that we who own property there
should not try our hand at oil produce
ing.
The right to exercise police supervision
is not questioned, but commended, but
we believe that the matter should not
rest there. Now have a plan Of rum
ming an oil well that does away with all
Objectionable features. am thinking
of getting 1t patented and believe its
adoption will be enthusiastically greeted
by the kid-gloved individual to whom
the mention of 'oil'' is now so obnox-

at this time, but will describe some of
the points.

It shall be created from the most costly

by a huge bouquet of sweet-scented
flowers, fresh daily, and near the top
shall fly the banner Of 1.-THE free" What
do you think of my plan? You need
not convene the council In extra session
because of this communication unless
you think 1t best.
