The important breeding work will
be conducted mainly In Texas.
The work of the bureau will be

BATTLESHlp ESCAPES.
ATTACKED BY FLEET
A Deadly Fire Was Kept Up on the
Potemkiue Until She Caught
Fire In Some Places and
Turned and Fled.

London, Saturday, a. m-The
Standard correspondent at Odessa
wires that he has received a report
saying that the rebel battieship Kni-
az Potemkine and the Black Sea
fleet under Admiral Kruger fought
desperate engagement today. Prior
to the battle Admiral Kruger made
demand on the Potemkine to sur
render. The rebel vessel replied:
We know no quarter and will
not surrender" whereupon Admiral
Kruger ordered his ships to open
fire on the Potemkine.
The latter responded, using all it's
guns and despite the fact that ii was
overwhelmingly outnumbered, ex-
changed shot for shot with the fleet.
The hope was entertained by the
crew of the Potemkine that as soon
as the order to fire was given by
Kruger the crews would mutiny. but
according to a report such did not
prove the case
i deadly fire was kept up on the
Potemkine until the latter, abIaza
in some places. turned and fled In
the confusion the Potemkine is said
to have been mistaken by Kruger for
one of the vessels of his own fleet
and thereby escaped
Whether the torpedo boat which
has been accompanying the Potem-
kline in its raiding expedition took
part in the engagement is not known,
but it is presumed here that she was

Sues Andrionoios Estate.

Attorneys Eb. Williams and NJ. Marsteller filed complaint in the district court Tuesday in q suit in- stituted by Juan Jaralampopulos against H w. Kelsey. as adminis- trator of the estate of Gregorio Andriopolos, for $754.87.
 The complaint alleges that on August [, 1903, the plaintiff and Gregorio Andriopolos jointly ex- ecuted note for $1 ,509.75, gold, at Nogales, Sonora. The note was payable Feb. 9, 1904. Andriopolos died intestate May q, 1904, and on Sept. 2, of that year, plaintiff alleges, he was compelled to and did pay the note in full. None of the amount, he claims, has been returned to him. On March ,, 1905 he presented a claim for S754.87 to H. w. Kelsey, adminis- trator of the estate, which claim was rejected. He now sues for that amount, with interest from Sept. 2, 1904, the date of payment of the note.

steoaf og raf GRAND JURY

Late an last Saturday evening the grand jury for the present term of court handed in to Judge Tucker, their final report and were discharged. They wasted six days of the county's time and money in forming conclusions of law and finally found that Paragraph l68 of the Penal Code was about all the law that this county needed. The report was a job lot of indivi- dual opinion, a complete boquet of tube roses to the present office holders, coupled with the fact that all offices were kept in neat and clean condition, and carefully over looked the work of Janitor Shreve. The report on the surveyors office was a very compile and elaborate affair. and was as follows. We find the county property in the surveyors office consists of an old table and an old book cover, and they are in good condition and neatly dusted."
 A long list of over-charges were found against Ex- Sheriff Turner, amounting to $773.00. Whoever discovered these items had about as much knowledge of the fee sys- tenn of the Territory as they have of an Aztec. They examined nine criminal cases; found four indict- ments, and dismissed the other five cases.
 During the first five days of their labors they were under the inn pression that the pay was $500 per day but on the receipt of a telegram from the Secretary of the Territory stating that the jury fees had not been changed, immediately ad- lourned. Border Yidette.
 It would have been more in con- sonance with newspaper ethics had the Fidette published the grand jury report in full, and then point ed out the points wherein the crit icism reproduced above is true. But that 1t could not do. More over that newspaper has been al- ways an apologist for officials who were open to criticism and censure in either party.

"lNDIvlDUAL OPINION. v

IN feeble effort to break the force of the grand jury report the Fidette last week sneeringly des- ignated that document as "in- dividual opinion" Certainly that is what it is. But when individual opinion, backed by incontrover- tible facts, is embraced by suffi- cient number of individuals, it be- comes public opinion. That is the way with that grand jury report. It has been long individual opin- ion that the county business was loosely and carelessly conducted. Many individuals held to the be- lief but the facts were not forth coming. And they could not be brought forth without a complete and thorough investigation by the only legally empowered authority
 "a grand jury aided by an expert. In August last grand jury was inn panelled that was disposed to do it's duty IS prescribed by law, but \ was rushed through to an ad- joarnment as rapidly as possible. In December there was impanelled another grand jury which also saw it's duty, and that grand inquest engaged the service Of an expert to check up the books of all the coun- ty officers and to report to the next grand jury. The April grand jury was another grand inquest which knew and understood the duty inn posed upon it by the law and 1t performed it's full duty. It re- ceiyed the report of the expert and checked it with the books. It found many of the allegations true and so reported to the court. 1t also instructed the district attor- ney to institute suits for restitution of the money alleged to have been illegally disbursed.
 Now all this may be individual opinion" as alleged by the Vidette; but 1t has been embraced by so many individuals that it has be- come pubic opinion. Public op- inion may sometimes be wrong
 upon an erroneous statement of facts But 1t will always correct itself when the facts are shown to have been incorrectly stated
 Sometimes individual opinion" which has crystallized into public opinion may be wrong in construc- tion of law governing or regulat-
