The Jury in the Jordan Damage Suit
 Returns Without q Verdict.

The jury in the case of Dr. A. c. Jordan vs. The Consolidated Ice < Coal Company. Of this city, return ed to the circuit court room Friday evening, after being out half day, and announced that they were una ble 10 render a verdict.
 The case was tried in that court Thursday and Friday and much interest was centered in the result. This was due to the fact that the suit was a very peculiar one, from a legal point of view.
 pr. Jordan was represented by Attorneys W bite < Altheimer. The defendant had Attorney M. A. Austin as counsel.
 Dr. Jordan is suing for $325 as damages, alleged to have been done through the carelessness of one of the Ice Company's wagon drivers. The ice wagon, Dr. Jordan alleges, caused his team to run away, smash up his buggy and render themselves unfit for further use. The jury during the last arguments stood II to in Dr. Jordan's favor. The one Juror could not be changed and they returned "hung."
 Attorney W. T. Woodbridge acted as special judge during this trial, owing to Judge Grace being dis qualified. The latter is 8 stock holder in the Ice company.

they were so few and far between that they had little or no effect.

that they had little or no effect.
 A Graphic reporter interviewed a number of Pine Blufians relative to Friday nights bout and there seems to be difference of opinion as to who is the best man.
 Dr. John Waters--The fight was good one, but Jeffries did not make the showing 1 anticipated. Corbett is the cleveress man in the ring today, but he lacks power. Sharkey, I believe, will be the next Champion of the World.
 Jim LaAgtord-Corbett iabbed Jeff to finish. I felt sorry for the big boiler,maker but he didn't need my sympathy in the twenty-third It was just the way expected, only I thought the fight would have end= ed earlier but with the same result.
 ". D. Jones-I told you so. Just tbe way I predicted.
 D. c. Howell-lt was nice, clean fight and there IS no fault to find with the result, unless you bet on Corbett The fight, in my opinion, was fair and square event. Jeff ries, while he won the battle, was notup to my expectations.
 ". T. Young-If the newspaper reports be correct, and l believe they are, Corbett put up the best fight of his life. He is wonder. That has been proven on several differ ent occasions and never better demonstrated than on last Friday evening. Jeffries has the machin. cry back of him, When his arms go forward something serious hap. pens..
 E. D. Russell think there should bave been only one bet on the fight and then less complaint would have been oeeasioned. This bet would have been declared off anyhow, as I have reference to Cor bett alone.

FAIR IS OFF.
Only a Few Pub ic Spirited Men Can't build Up Such an Enterprise

We have been informed that there will be DO State Far held ir this city this year.
 This is 8 fact much to be regretted as the Fair vas an enterprise that should have been liberally supported oy the paop ard by tbe public gen. orally. The city would have been greatly bent fted by an annual show of this kind for during it's two years existence beneficial results have been felt in marked degrees by both county and city.
 I; our citizens would only consider the ups and downs experienced by the Dallas Far Association, now the finest institution of the kind in the world, they would doubtless put their shoulder to the wheel and as one man work for the upbuilding of this laudable enterprise.
 The public spirited citizens who have exerted their utmost en- deavors to bring success to the As- sociation. do not feel justified in making further expenditures of their money without the aid Of a largsr body If citizens.
