TRIBUTES FROM THE PRESS

CONTINUED from Page p
Wheeler South Texas loses one of her
brightest and most competent and
capable newspaper men.
Mr.. Wheeler was a son of the late
Jesse o. Wheeler of this city and was
born here in 1864. OF Mr.. Wheeler's
family 1t is to be said they were the
most prominent and wealthy in this
section of the tsate.
In the year 1894 Mr.. Wheeler and
Miss Fannie January, daughter of
the late DR.. January, were married.
They at once moved to Brownsville,
Texas. and with united efforts estab-
lished The Herald which ranks among
the best local dailies in the state. The
altruistic spirit of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wheeler was ever manifest through
the columns of The Herald. The in
cense of a greater Rio Grande country
daily burned on the editorial page
of the one paper that did most for the
Brownsville country. To proclaim
the latent resources as well as the
natural advantages of Brownsville
and her surrounding country
through the medium of his valuable
journal was as natural as the in
breathing of the perfumed zephyr to
Jesse o. Wheeler.
The devoted. ever faithful cOmpan-
ion. wife and help-meet will take up
the life work laid down by her hus-
band and continue the publication of
The Herald.

MIR. DOHERTY's FIRST DEER.
Popular Traffic Manager of Browns
Vile Road Enjoys Hunt.
To The Herald:

To The Herald:
Kingsvville. Dec S.-During his
long sojourn in the Lower Gulf Coast
Country, Col William Doherty, traf-
fc manager of the st. Louis, Browns
vile & Mexico Railroad, yesterday en-
joyed his first deer hunt And, what
is more, he killed the first deer he ev-
er killed in his life. 1t was magni-
ficent buck and it goes without saying
that Col. Doherty is justly proud Of
his work.
There were three hunters in the
bunch-Col. Doherty. John Finnegan,
treasurer of the Brownsville Road,
and Caesar Kleberg, assistant mana
ger of the Santa Gertrudis Ranch.
The hunt took place on the ranch,
some six miles from Kingsville, and
the party got two bucks, although the
second one was shot by all three Of
the hunters. The first, however, was
Col. Doherty's exclusively, for he
alone shot at it.
What is most remarkable about the
entire affair, is the fact that Col.
Doherty killed his first deer without
getting the buck ague until after
the deer was dead As soon as he
realized. however, that he had ac-
tually killed his first deer, he was
attacked with nervousness and, to
use the language of AEessrs. Finnegan
and KIeberg. he went right up in
the air" For a man to so on his
first deer hunt and kill the first deer
he ever shot at in his life, and that
deer a big buck, too, is a remarkable
performance and one to be justly
proud Of.
/ In not getting the buck ague until
after he had killed his deer, Col. Doh
erty differed very materially from an
other Kingsville hunter, Charley Fla
to. president of the Kingsville Five
Thousand Club Charley shot at his
first deer a few days ago, and they
tell it on him that he went up IN
the air" before lie pulled the trigger.
1t took some time to get him back to
earth again and restore his nerves, but
he finally got over the ague and the

second deer lie shot at he did good
work and as a result had venison
steak for breakfast. His friends in
sisr that he is till "shaKy," however,
and say he has talked nothing but
deer" since he got his first buck.
Col Doherty played in better luck,
and although he spent a restless night
of it last night and no doubt saw
large herds of deer in his dreams, to-
day his pulse is normal and he can
relate his experience without getting
unduly excited.

CASE OF FORMER
NEGRO SOLDIER
PRIVATE REID'S APPLICATION
FOR PAY SUPREME COURT.
Congress May Enact Law Permitting
Discharged Soldiers of Infamous
Twenty-Fifth Infantry to Re-Enlist
in the Army.


Washington, Dec. THE bloody
ARRAY at Brownsville, which resulted
in the discharge from the army by
PRECEDENT Roosevelt of the negro
troops alleged to have been implicit
ed, viii come up for hearing again to-
day before the United States Su-
preme court
At tOday's hearing the members OF
the Supreme bench viii listen to ar
guments in the case of the former ne
gro soldier, Oscar Reid, who was dis
missed from the service without hon
or on account of his alleged partieipa-
ton in the Brownsville affair.
The suit was instituted by Reid in
the United States Circuit Court for
Southern New York for pay during
the time of his enlistment The YER
dict of that court was against him
and he appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the Presi-
dent had exceeded his constitutional
power in dismissing the three COM
panies without a trial by court mar
tial
In the case OF negro soldiers who
have applied for re-enlistment in the
army, measures to permit such action
will probably be considered by Con
gress. One of these applications is
from a member of the discharged bat
talon o fthe Twenty-fift-4 Infantry,
who has had thirty years service in
the army
1t is understood the president dis
approved the application on the gen
eral ground that the negro has not
produced satisfactory or sufficient eEi-
dence of his innocence, and that hay
ing failed to do so within three
months of his discharge, the statute
governing such cases Restraints the
President from acting. He takes the
ground that bills now pending before
ity to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
the Senate propose giving him au-
thority to re-enlist soldiers of the
Twenty-ffth regiment, and some
measure will probably be enacted at
the next session of congress.

MAKES MORTGAGES GOOD.
Oklahoma Supreme Court Reverses
Decision.

Guthrie, Okla.-In reversing the
decision of the United States dis
trict court for the Northern district
OF Indian Territory In the cases
OF G. M. Keys vs.. The First National
Bank of ClaremOre and the Vinita
National bank VS.. the First National
Bank OF Claremore, the supreme
court settled the validity of hun.
dreds of chattel mortgages on the
The mortgage In question In those
suits was on a bunch of cattle near
Pryor Creek, and was filed at Mus
kogee when that town was the only
recording place In the Northern dis
trict of Indian territory. Later the
old Northern district was divided in
TO the Northern and Western dis
tricts, and Vinita was made the re-
cording town for the new Northern
district. Still later, the recording
districts were established and Pryor
Creek was made a recording town.
The question at issue was whether
the mortgage had to be re-recorded
at the proper place after both of
these changes In the law. The low
er court decided that 1t did, but is
reversed by the supreme court In
an opinion by Justice Kane.
The cases of j. II. Moody VS.. Sans
Bois Coal Company and Dawson vs..
Cooper were dismissed for want of
prosecution. The order dismissing
the case Of Kiefe vs.. the Oklahoma
Central Railway Company, involving
the recent receivership OF that road,
was vacated, as 1t was shown that
stipulations had been filed only by
the Illinois Steel Company and not
by all the parties I'm interest.
