local option law in Sherman, the jury
found a verdict Of guilty and assessed
the fine at S25 and twenty days III
iail. from which the defendant VIII
enter an appeal. In this case the
counsel raised objection to the prog
rcss OF the prosecution because OF the
failure of the local option law to PRO
vide for elections in cities OF lO,oeo
or more as guaranteed in the stale
Constitution and, further, that the
law as county measure is null'ncd
lbccausc that at the time the county
election was ordered local option pre-
vailed in all but two prCcnts OF inc
county These objections being over
ruled the defense, gave notice OF eX-
lccptions and these points will nave 10
be thraShCd out before the Court :"
terminal Appeals to which the case
Twill go The situation is rendered
more interesting because 1t can be
said upon good authority that another
MONT is to be raised and that is that

cific, Mr.. Hartman viii nave TO re-
,IinGush control Of the Houston q
, Texas Central to the Rock Island "yS-
TEN, which will give that ROAD an out
lief at the gulf. That Mr.. Hartman
Was beaten in his Alton fight ana thT
This compromise deal was his only
salvation is believed by Chicago par
ties close to the Harrman-llawIey
and Moore interests. The coup Is
said TO have been almost entirely n
Moore deal but it is admitted That
Edwin Haw.ey and j. w. CAFES

ior thc Moorcs in purchasing large
blocks of Alton stock. on which they
are said 10 have cleaned mp a hand
some profit. The Hartman plan mas

crd late this month, will include Par
