ARRESTED AT SHERMAN
MfAsf lille laCi1eat Revivet by On
iaaittmeat tor ssratsy.

The case of Arthur Little. young
man who gaR arrested in Sherman "A
few months ago on an alleged charge
cd, took new turn this week when
the grand jury of Ellis county re-
turned an indictment against him
for the same offense on which he
WAS originally arrested, 4 warrant
for his second arrest was sent 10
sherman. and yesterday morning he
WAS again taken In custody. Sheriff
Forbes has been informed OF the
young mans arrest aud Will leave
tonight for Sherman Ia bring the
prisoner to this city unless interfered
with by habeas corpus proceedings,
Little has engaged counsel who
has filed application for writ of
habeas corpus.
This case has attracted more than
ordinary attention One night last
fall dry goods store and the office
of lumber yard at Midlothian We're
burgiarized A complaint was filed
against Arthur Little charging him
with having committed the burglary,
and he was arrested at Sherman. He
was brought to this city but was re-
leased almost Immediately and re-
turned to Sherman. where he has
since been employed in a market.
4 few weeks after his arrest Little
filed a suit for damages in the sum
of $4,000 against Sheriff Rich of
Gravson county, his deputy, j. II.
Biggerstaff and Chief of Police De-
Spain of Sherman Sheriff Forbes
and Deputy Sheriffs Lee Moore and
j. M Maggart We're also made de-
PENDANTS in the suit. The suit Is still
pending in the district court at
sherman.
The release of Little did not close
| the incident in this county. Some
days ago the grand jury began al
investigation OF the Midlothian bur
lglary with the result that Little wa
indicted.
1 ,rhn original complaint and II
. xubseuuent finding OF true b

of the coat was a slip OF paper

ITfce wilkins, Sherman. Texas. ~
slip of paper was sent to the offlce
at Sherman. and to them Mr.. Wiki
stated that he gave it to Arthur Ii

the testimony OF these parties that
he was released after being brought

the slip of paper was given him on
the depot platform at sherman, but

The selection OF w. E. Green will
meet with the unqualified approval
of every man in Texas who has bus
mess dealings with the Trinity and
Brazos Valley. He is a railroad man
and gentleman from the ground
up. He has been slow in coming to
his own, but he has been rising to
his level for several years. He has
not yet reached it, but he Is on his
| way there.
Mr. Green is a Texas product, IN
one sense OF the word. True. he ex-
hibited the highest order of executive

Parks brief answer.
And the two found the road around the

f~1HAT debt was an affair of long
standing, for it had been made years
before Jack Towner's birth, so that
INgMNNI it could not be looked upon as a
- strictly personal matter with him
self.
Ills father and Park Wright's had had trou-
on! PIE years ago over corner of land down near
creek, which had been used as a boundary
line, was really the innocent, prime cause of
the mischievous burden, if they had only
looked at it in that light; but they did not,
a atrs. when. after big fall freshet, the tickle
the Towner side, Jacks fathers wrath knew
no bounds, because Parks father took ad-
vantage of its shifting and laid claim to the
fertile corner which had thus been trans
ferred to his side.
Of course Jacks father had felt himself
Wronged. and he went to law about it; but
Parks father won the suit, and the costs as
well as the loss fell upon Mr.. Towner.
The bit OF land was not worth the quarrel
sidered his a righteous indignation, and he
nursed it for a lifetime. 1t grew, as such
things will, until each family was sure it was
the aggrieyed party, and held only bitterness
and hate for the other.
Jacks father had declared he would pay
Jason Wright back for the theft, as he term
ed it, and SO every opportunity for suits for
damages was INDUCED in, sometimes with sue
cess upon one SIDE sometimes upon the 9th
er, but in either case with growth of the
heart, had heavy weight Of interest added to
it,
1t was too heavy, in fact, for two boys to
shoulder, as did Park and Jack when their
fathers died and they took up the cudgels of
the old fight.
Jack was thinking over it that late Septem-
Der morning, as he saw Park samter BY so
contemptuously,. finging a. stone at his dog.
Poor Brunof' said Jack. Everything he
push me aside in boating and base ball, and
even in the school prizes but I'll be square
with him yet. just watt" he ended, fercely,
stalking gloomily back to the house.
1T would. be better if we did not live
him. "this old trouble has made you so cross
and bitter. l wish you would let the matter
&c, and cease to brood over it."
Let it go, as if it were all right% he ex-
