ADMITTED AS A DEED
important Evidence in the
Sullivan Dam Case.
GOOD PROGRESS is MADE
Case VIII Reach the Jury
this week.

The plaintiffs in the Sullivan dam sui
All but one of their witnesses has been OF
the stand, and this one was taken sicl
while in the court room and was unable
to take the stand. He is Mr.. Simmons
and will give expert testimony on the
value of the water power involved in the
suit
The plaintiffs introduced evidence to
prove that Arthur Sullivan had a clear
title to the land and that there had al
ways been a dam on his property since
1873 Other testimony in regard to the
amount of land covered by the back
water and that taken up by the race was
introduced. There was also considerable
testimony in regard to the amount of
damages TO which he was entitled.
Mr. Sullivan while on the stand admit
ted that the dam and race had belonged
to Lewis &; Co.. the firm from which the
city purchased their title.
The city introduced quite little of their
evidence. Most of it was in regard to the
transfers of the property from Wheeler
& Scheetz, who first used the power down
to the city. One of their witnesses was
hIr. Scheetz, who had with him an old
book which showed that in 1874 he had
paid to Mr.. Sullivan $3.50 for the prop
erty. He said that the dam was first
built by him in 1873, with the understand
ing that the property should be trans
serred to him at the cost Of ST. After
wards there was some dispute as to the
price and both he and Mr.. Sullivan had
agreed to arbitrate the question, and
each had put up a bond TO abide by
the decision of the arbitrators The arbi-
traitors had agreed that the value Of the
property was $3.50 and the entry in the
book had been made when this was paid.
The city then produced the original bond
which had been given by Mr.. Sullivan
and ii was signed by both Mr. and Mrs.
Sullivan. The bond was admitted as tes-
timony. The agreement which was made
at this time between Wheeler & Scheetz
was also admitted over the objection of
the p.aintif. He claims that this agree
ment was in the nature of a contract for
the water power but it was admitted as
deed to the property. The plaintiff
claims that this document was not prop
srly ackno wiedged by Mrs Sullivan. and
for that reason, as the property is a part
Of the Sullivan homestead, it could not
be made to stick as a deed. But in 1887
the legislature passed law making all
deeds filed prior to that time binding.
whether or not there was a faulty ac-
acknowledgement. The original document
has been lost, but the records in The reg
ister of deeds Office show that it was
signed by Mrs. Sullivan. This document.
whatever it might have been. was ad-
mitted in the evidence as a deed. The
city has still considerable evidence 70 in
troduce and 1t is expected that the trial
will last for at least the next two days.

STREET PAVING BIDS.
The Bids Range From S57463 to
S7S,974. 1t is Not Given Out
Who Gets the Contract

The bids for paving the streets Of
East Texarkana was opened yester-
day afternoon in the private office
of John P. Kline. There were pres
ent a half dozen contractors who
had in bids and they showed by
their looks that they were on the
anxious bench aud we're awaiting
the reading of the bids with all the
interest that they could command,
When secretary Kline read of the
bids, they can be summed up as
followss
Frank Whitley, s57 463; Talbot
Bros $58, 500; Ward & Ockander,
$50, 1856; Heidelberg & Chatwin, s65,
1870; Brown & Dabner, $75, ,865; B. c,
Storrie, $78,974. $2l, ,5ll between
highest and lowest bids.
OF course these contractors had
selected the material they we're to
use, some brick of different brands,
and some had figured for stone
curbing while others for brick In
fact, the bids, in the way they have
been put in, will require lot of
going over and figuring to deter
mine the best and lowest bid.
In regard to Mr.. Whitleys bid,
he had not complied with require.
ments Of the letting of the bid, as
he had not put up the check to
show that he was ready to fulfill the
contract, and when his bid was
opened, the committee decided not
to consider it, and it was pigeon
holed for the time being, though it
may be resurrected on his putting
up the check, which be says he can
do, or at least make the bond to do
the work. In saying that Mr.,
Whitley's bid may yet be consd-
cred, we do not speak authoritively
for we have not talked to the mem
bers of the commission as to the
subject.
Several of the bidders are yet
here awaiting developments while
others have pulled oct
