DISTRICT COURT.

District court convened on the morn- ing of the 23rd, Hon. R. F. Sloan presiding.
 The case Of Desidero Martinez vs. Santa Fe Pacific Railroad company occupied the attention of the court Monday snd was given to the jury Tuesday morning. Martinez claimed to have been put of a train of the com pany, alleging that the conductor refused to honor his ticket, and asked damages in the sum of S3.000. The jury failed to agree and the case was set for retrial at the next term of court.
 Harry Ward, with charge of burgl- ary against him. was next placed on trial. Ward was charged with break ing into the house of J. W. Power and stealing shotgun. He was indicted jointly with William Tompkins for this oifense. Tompkins pleaded guilty and is now in Yuma serving his sentence. The prosecution tried to show that the two men played game of cards in the county jail, the loser to plead guilty to the charge and the winner to place the blame on him. The jury evidently took no stock in the story and rendered a verdict of not guilty.
 F.. c. Coleman, charged with break ing jail, pleaded guilty and was sentenced this morning to one year in the Territorial penitentiary less the time he has served in the county jail. He has been confined here l5O days, so his sentence is really 2l5 days.
 Harry Kelly and William Lynch, charged with breaking jail, were dis charged.
 Pedro Rodriguez, brought up from Williams on Il charge of assault with a deadly weapon, was released.

 George Lovejoy has the hardest luck of all. He was charged with grand larceny in having taken about S70 from the drawer of the Temple Bar saloon. His defense was that he took it for safe keeping and was afterwards touched" for the roll. The jury found him not guilty, but he was i'm mediately rearrested on a charge of burglary. The new charge is based on the alleged theft of some blankets from the county hospital.
 w. E. Roy, whose case has been in the court for some time, charged with grand larceny from the store of Poison BrOs., Williams, was tried and the jury returned d verdict of petty larceny. The prosecution could not show that he abstracted $50 worth of goods at one time so the verdict was rendered ac- coldlugly. Roy was sentenced to pay fine of $500 or put in his time in jail at the rate of S2 day

II MAY BE A DARK TRAGEDY

Charles w. Howard of Teresa, Fla, who East Lake last Tuesday night, failed to appear at the time set for the wedding, and no trace of him can be found.
 The police of Tampa, Fla, have been Investigating the case, and it is the opinion there that the young man has met with foul play. The theory is that Howard was prob- ably robbed and murdered at Tampa
 When last seen Howard had $500 in money and a railroad pass from Tampa to Bir- mingham. The young man is a member of the firm of Howard & Kennedy, produce dealers, of Teresa, Fla. It was his inten~ tion to stop over in Montgomery to see M. P. Wilcox, a produce dealer of that city. at Montgomery and also failed to be pres ent at his fance's home on the night of the intended wedding at East Lake.
 Neither Miss Peace nor her parents re- ceived any notice from MT. Howard that he would not be present on the night of the marriage. Everything was in readiness for the wedding, and invitations had already beep sent out. Numbers of friends and relatives of the bride had gathered at the residence of MT. Peace to witness the mar riage, and there was great disappointment when the groom failed to arrive. The miss ing man was held in the highest esteem by those who knew him, and no one seems to doubt his sincerity in his intentions to wed Miss Peace.
 The police of Birmingham will investigate the case.

A SCHOOL DISTRICT
 PROPOSED NEAR TOWN
North Birmingham and sayreton Citizens Hold a Meeting in Favor of a
 Sepai ate District

A public school meeting was held at North Birmingham to devise ways and means to get North Birmingham and Sayreton into separate school district. L. w. Johns was called to the chair, and in a few appropriate remarks he called upon Jerry Fountain, late superintendent of education to explain to the meeting the benefits that would be derived by getting separate school district for the two places.
 Mir Fountain explained very clearly the benefits to be derived.
 James Schools was then introduced and explained how the miners would fare under the change. He said the miners of Sayre ton were hand in hand with North Birming ham in getting a separate school district.
 Messrs. Chambers, Woolley, Smith and others spoke in favor of the change.
 MT. Fountain then called on MT. Johns for a speech, giving him Education or the White People" a subject
 MT. Johns referred to how the colored man wanted to educate his children, and he illustrated the colored and white boys of the future. He said in eloquent terms that unless the white people of the South would put their shoulder to the wheel and educate their children, the colored boys of the future would be the bosses and the white boys the 'hewers of wood and draw CTS of water"
 MT Johns then asked who were going to be the laborers of the future. Did any one in the audience ever see an educated negro labor?. Then what would become of the colored men if they were all educated?
 A man in the audience asked the chair man about the disfranchisemsnt of the colored man. He was very quickly an- swered that MT. Johns was not in favor of allowing the black man to vote unless he has the necessary educational qualifica- ton.
