The Excuse for New Fiction.

The taste has changedt, or rather the
times have changed, and with the times
the fashions. mems habits, occupations,
ways of thinking and speaking. For the
very language changes. No power can
stop it. not even the printing press or the
French or any other academy. The con-
dition of growth is change. Recommend
to your boy the books you used to read
as a boy. He may try them in difference
to your parental authority and judgment,
but for his pleasure he reads quite other
books. This Is the justification of the
novels of today. The business of the
writer is to touch the hearts Of his con-
temporaries

The Perfect Bride.

From the Sketch.
A man. however feeble and insignificant,
demands from his bride the form of the
Venus of Medici, the charm of Nine Re-
camier and the prudence of Hannah More.
Naturally he does not get these divergent
qualities united in one iesh-and-bloo girl
and his disappointment sometimes makes
him cuerulous and unreasonable.

DISMISSED
Court Al RaSWGIl Rejects The
Charge Against Amarillo
CattIHman

The following message received
here today by the Amarillo National
bank corresponds with messages re-
ceved by the Daily Panhandle and
other parties here in regard to a
case IN which many citizens OF Anna.
rillo and cattlemen over this section
arc interested.
Roswell ~ NJ, Nov 1G.-Al
cases have been dismissed The dis.
trlct attorney stated In open court
that upon investigation OF the cases
he found there was no evidence
against the defendants to Justify the
government in prosecuting the cases
and he therefore asked the court to
dismiss all the cases from the docket
which the court very promptly did
The citizens Of Roswell rejolced In

PENDANTS. J,H, AVERY.
I'll Captain Cattle Case.
The case referred to Is that in
which the III Captain Land and Cat
tie Company OF Roswell became In
volved by the sale Of some cattle
about two years ago to Lee BIvins
OF this city. Mr. Bivins at that time
had R ranch near the pastures Of the
III Captain company, and in a deal
with the president of the company
agreed to buy the three and four
year-old steers OF the company. A
man named Pridmore Pridmore was
ranch manager at that time, and he
took charge OF the deal after the Off
GERS of the company left. In receiy-
ing the cattle Bivins dealt with
Pridmore and the payments were
made to him. Bivlns made pur-
chases Of the steers as they were
rounded up from the other ranch
and had them turned into his own
pastures; after settling with Prid-
more for the number turned over
had them driven to his own pasture
A short time later the officers OF
the I'll Captain company became dis.
satisfied with the work Pridmore was
doing on the ranch and with the re.
turns he was making from IL and
sent out new manager without CIV
| ing Pridmore notice. The new man
ager then discovered that although
about eighteen hundred steers had
been sold from the ranch. returns to
the company had been made for a
smaller number This led to fur
Their investigation, and IN the mean
time Pridmore had gone TO Mexico
After a short time, however, he re-
turned to Roswell and has under
taken to clear up the difficulty.
The confusion in accounts involved
Lee Bivins In the difficulty because
Bivins had possession Of the cattle
He had, however, settled with Prid-
more for the cattle as he bought
them, and 1t IS evident from the mes
sages received today that the court
entirely exonerates him from guilty
intent in the matter. On account Of
the prominence OF the principals, the
case has attracted much attention
and the news that Lee Bivins has
been freed from blame in the matter
will be received here with great sat
isfaction. A number OF Amarillo men
including Lee BIvins, H, G. Sadler
and ]. II. Avery are now in Roswell
attending the proceedings.
