1t was proven on the part of the at

given as an inducement for them to
go on the bond. Both negroes admit

They also testified that the negro
who was to put the 500 never COM
piled with his agreement and there
fore the bond was not complete.
The negroes also stated that they
stood ready to return the money to
the parties from whom it had been
received, and that they did return it,
but the evidence showed that it was

TEXAS DEERS
MAKE TROUBLE

Austin, Tex, August ct is fine to
be a deer in Texas. Not only are such
animals protected from slaughter by
a state law, but they are free to do
as they please. State officials have re-
ceived many complaints of late, from
county officials west of here, alleging
that the deer are destroying the crops
in some sections and that in two or
three instances the animals have at
tackled and manned irate farmers.
State officials say that under the law
there is no redress and that the deer
will have to be allowed to follow their
own inclinations.
