CONFIDENT OF VICTORY.
Officials Believe Brazos Valley VIII
@a r4 Win Suit.

Whenever the order of the Texas
railroad commission directing that
the Trinity and Brazos Valley shall
stop it's passenger trains between
Waxahachie and Dallas is brought
to a test, the defendant expects to
show that the order of the commits
sion is simply robbing one line to
help another The line that is. rob-
bed in this instance is the Katy,
over whose tracks the Trinity and
Brazos Valley passes and the line
that will be helped is none other
than the Trinity and Brazos Valley.
This will also be the defense of
the railroad in the event that a SIM
liar order is made respecting the
Trinity and Brazos Valley trains
that use the Santa Fe tracks between
Cleburne and Fort Worth. Here
also it will be pleaded that the
commission is robbing one railroad
for the benefit of another.
This, the Trinity and Brazos Val
ley will contend, cannot be justified
either by state or federal statute.
The Valley Short Line officials feel
that they are sure to win out in the
matter, in fact they say, that they
have not the least doubt as to the

got her bonnet strings united. She
didn't like the way the cook did things:
the head maids looks suited her no bet

Alfonso's domestic affairs under the
management of the Battenburg.
Did Alfonso sulk and go 10 the club
for his meals? Did he knuclle down
and take his medicine. rather than face
the unpleasant prospect OF row with
the old lady? Not Alfonso; he just rose
up and said there could only be one
boss on that job. and he was Ii. More
over, he didn't propose to have any

didn't like his way of doing things
