MULBERGER WINS AGAIN.
The Supreme Court a firms Judge Ben
nett's Decision in the Cole Estate
Executors Beaten at
Every Turn.

Mayor Henry Mulberger and those
! who sided with him in the stand he
| took regarding the actions of the ex-
ecutors of the estate Of John w. Cole,
in their accOuntings and handling of
the trust property, again have the sat-
isfactiOn of being vindicated in the
eyes Of the law, this time by no less a
tribunal than the state supreme court.
Yesterday this court made it's decision
was the appeal Of the executors from
the decision of Judge Bennett, in the
circuit court, disallowing the entire
amount Of the executors final ac-
count and their disposition of the 81, :
600 proceeds acquired from the sale of
the homestead, which proceeds Judge
Bennett ordered reinvested for the ul-
innate benefit OF the city. Harlow
Fease fought the case for Mr.. Mulber-
ger, and the two gentlemen are to be
congratulated over the success that
has come to them in the interest they
have taken for the city's benefit.
Regarding yesterdays decision, a
special to The Sentinel says:
''Ihe most Interesting case decided
IS that OF the estate of John w. Cole,
of Watertown, where Henry Mulber-
ger began an action against Diego II.
Beurhaus and other executors to pre-
vent allowance Of their account. The
estate is large, and the executors
completed certain improvements be-
gun by Mr.. Cole before his death, and
some other permanent improvements
on the property. This, Mr.. Mulber-
ger cOntended, was outside their du-
ties. The county court allowed the
executors claim, and MIR. Mulberger
appealed to the circuit court. The
will contained provision that the en-
tire estate after the expenses had been
deducted should 90 to the city of
Watertown, for public library, at
the death of his son and widow The
expenditure of money by the execu-
tors on improvements operated against
the interests of the city, Mr. Mulber-
ger alleged, and unfairly reduced the
amount which would otherwise 90 to
the city. le circuit court decided
for the city, and held that the 1000
paid out by the executors on improve
ments, should have been invested for
the benefit of Mrs. Cole and her son
for their lives and then pass to the city
for the library. The supreme court
takes the same view and atfirms it's de-
cisiOn"
The 1000 above spoken of refers to
the proceeds of the sale of the home
stead, the amount having been appro-
priated in the executors account to
meet the cost of repairs and alleged
permanent improvements to the trust
property.

ming Of the end is now in sight. The
rivers are probably falling. Most peo-
pie agree that the Ills one inch After
today the waters will no doubt recede
swiftly.
The town is full Of refugees from the
bottoms, most OF them hungry and
greatly worried about where they shall
eat; the loss Of their earthly possessions
seems TO be their least thought.
In interviewing the people who own
bottom land most Of them say they will
take care Of their own people, but there
are many negro day hands and renters
who paid cash for their goods and have
no one to look TO for help in this, their
hour OF dire necessity, though no,
thought Is had Of asking outside aid, for
they will no doubt be fed by citizens,
though the bulk Of the victims live in
Brazos and Washington counties.
A meeting was called for this morn

beginning to be realized.
Today the bill farmers are struggling
in with reports from their section. Not
only are their crops destroyed, but the
land is gone also. The fields have been
swept clean In many instances and the
soi has been carried away, leaving
only the red clay hills which underlie
that portion Of lbe country known as
"ihe hills" llere houses are wrecked,
roads destroyed, ehimneys and fences
torn away aud scarcely well left.
