From Texas.

CoTUBLA, TEX, Dec. t5, 1905.
Ed. Register II am indeed a poor
writer, but as there are SO many
friends in old Iron county that
want to hear something about
southwest Texas, and as know of
no other medium better than the
REGISTER through which to reach
them, will, by your permission,
try to tell them Of some things
which / have seen and heard.
First, we left Missouri the 18th
of September, arrived at and spent
two months in San Antonio, the
largest city in the State, and a
very interesting old place. There
is much to be seen there connected
with the early history of Texas, Of
which I may have something to
say later. We are now located at
Cotubla, a town Sc miles south Of
San Antonio, in the Neueces val
ley, on the I. & G.. N. R'y. The
climate is all that can be desired
and very healthful, the land fertile
and the people kind and sociable !;
good school and churches, fine
court house and jail, but the Jail
doors are standing open--no oc-
cupants.
This Neueces valley has been,
and still is, one Of the great pas
ture and cattle sections Of the
State. Only in the last four Oh
FIVE years has there been any effort
at agriculture. A few northern
people have come in here, bought
land, opened farms and, demon
strated that this is one Of the
greatest vegetable growing sec
tons Of the State. The land be-
ing $50 rich and the seasons SO
long, makes it possible to grow
something all the year.
But you say, II thought 1T wae
too dry out there to grow any
thing True, it is a dry country,
but they are getting moro rain
every year. The last five years
there has been 28 to 80 inches rain
fall government report), which ID
not 30 bad. a.
I see corn growing here that
yields 30 to 40 bushels per acre.
Oats do we'll and make q large
yield, and alfalfa has proven to be
asuccess, making six cuttings a
year. But, mind you, the farmers
are not wholly dependent on the
rainfall; they have large areas
subject to irrigation and have their
pumping plants in and irrigate
from the river. The lands are
surveyed 50 that each section
fronts one-half mile on the river
and extends mack two miles, maxi
ling $40 acres, giving d greater
number Of farms o chance at the
river. I.
These river lands are very level
and aresbeing bought up very fast
near the town and railroad. i was
lucky enough to- get a section
within three miles 2of town and
only two miles from a SWITCH II
lis practically all level and can be
irrigated from the river. The
$500. y IA v " V y n
These lands that are now under
irrigation are making their owners
rich, producing from $3.50 TO $500

CHAUNcEY cONNELLY OF WIN
CHESTER STRUCK BY G. r.
e. |. TRAIN.
STEPPED ON WRONG TRACK
Injured Man is Seventy Years Old
And WiIedly Known.

Winchester, Ind, March 25. (Spec-
ial.)-Chauncey Connolly an aged
man, residing in this city, was struck
by the northbound passenger train on
the Grand Rapids e Indiana railroad
this afternoon and was probably IA
tally injured, his shoulder being bro
ken and several ribs crushed. Con-
nelly was walking along the side
track near the Fifth street crossing
in the north part Of town, and when
he heard the locomotive whistle be-
hind him, conceived the idea that tie
train was bearing down upon him
and he then stepped on to the main
track, supposing that it was the side
track.
The train continued to whistle and
the old man turned just as it was
too late to step aside. The physician
believe that the shock together with
the injuries, will result in death.
He is over seventy years of age
and is an old resident of Randolph
county.

CAT PERFORMS FEAT
FELINE JUMPS FROM SECOND
STORY ROOF UNFRAMED.
Many Persons See Wonderful Feat
at Eleventh and Main Streets
Animal With Nine Lives.

The cat with the original nine lives
the member of the feline species that
is always in trouble and never gets
hurt, has been found to live in Rich
mond. This fact was proven to about
fifty persons yesterday morning
while they were walking down Main
street, near Eleventh, at seven
o'clock.
On the south side of the street,
there is a two story building with a
roof about fifty feet from the side
walk. A large gray cat was seen to
walk up close to the ledge, and after
giving one shuddering glance down
ward, launched itself through the air
to the brick pavement below.
Whether with suicidal intention or
otherwise, it looked as if the rash act
would prove fatal. With bated breath
the leap for life was watched by the
crowd. A bundle of fur lit on the
bricks, rolled around half dozen
times, stood up on four sound legs
and slowly trotted around the build
ing, as If nothing important had hap
pened.

VERDICT IN
''''IC CASE St TODAY
ARGUMENTS WERE CONCLUDED
ON EAeEN GENTRY CASE
YESTERDAY
THE ATTORNEYS DIFFER
Plaintiff Lawyers Blame Gentry and
Defense Lawyers Blame Some
Young Boys.
THE ATTORNEYS DIFFER

Arguments in the case of Eagan VS..
Gentry were finished yesterday in the
Wayne Circuit Court and late in the
afternoon, the Judge, reading his in
structions, submitted the case to the
jury, after informing that body that a
verdict reached after eight O'Clock
would have to be held over until this
morning.
The damage suit has attracted con-
siderable attention among both rail
road men and farmers. The plaintiff
William A. Eagan, is one of the most
popular engineers on the Pennsylva-
MIA Lines, and his connection in the
case is enough to warrant their inter
est. The defendant is one of the
best known farmers of the county
and his friends hold him to be en-.
tirely guiltless of any negligence in
the matter.
In their arguments, Attorneys
Johnson and Study for the plaintiff
attempted to show that no one else
but the defendant could possibly
have been liable for the accident
which occurred to Eagan. Attorney
Robbins in his arguments, attempted
to show that Gentry had no occasion
for leaving board protruding from
the car to the distance testified to by
Eagan and his witnesses, and to
show that some boys playing near
the cars were the direct cause of the
accident.
1t is expected that the Jury will
make a report early in the morning
The trial has not occupied many
days.

asked that their default be noted. The

clared that their absence was due to
the stipulation postponing the hear

that this did not excuse them and de-
clared them in default.
