Murder Case Are Given
Liberty

Beaumont. Texas, August THE
seven negro suspects held in connec-
ton with the investigation OF the
Lynch murder case were released
from iail here yesterday This ac-

taken aa an indication that they are
as much I'm the dark as ever. Fred
Guest. the negro porter of the
Neches Club, who was among the
suspects, will resume his duties to-
morrow at the club, members of
which were always dubious as to his
connection with the crime.

arrested as a suspect in Houston
several days ago, is still in jail here
and the authorities still refuse to
discuss his case.

GR0FFMAN WILL RUN;
ST0LzE WILL NOT.

Yesterday came two announcements
that made the politicians take notice.
Mayor Groffman, yielding to pressure
from all classes, and against his in
cliuation, in fact contrary to his inten.
tions, consented to stand as non parti,
san, "citizen's" candidate for reelection.
Elk Mayor Stolze, who had been named
as mayoralty candidate by the Social
lists in his absence from the city handed
his resignation to party officials, the
principle reason for declining being the
state of his health.
These clarified the political atmosphere
and the coming campaign is beginning
to take shape. The expression of confid-
ence in the probity, and Independence OF
the mayor, heard on all sides, puts his
election beyond the shadow of a doubt
no matter who his opponent will be.
Nomination papers for other city offices
are being filed

CLIMAX IN ROAD MATTER.

The attempt to compel the laying out
of the short road on the town line of
Centervilie and Meeme, which has run
through the whole process provided by
law only to meet with the opposition OF
some of the town officers at each step,
has ut last reached the circuit court
point in its progress. The last preceding
step was an order by the county court
requiring the town officials to proceed
with the work. They have not done so
and writ of mandamus directed to
them has been issued from the circuit
court returnable March 22nd. Manda.
mus is an extraordinary writ requiring
the public officer to whom 1t is directed
to appear in conrt and chow cause why
he does not perform some specified act
which is alleged it is his duty to per
form. This latest turn of affairs is ex-
pected to bring things to climax and is
attracting considerable attention.
The proposed road lies between section
Z of Centerville and section 12 of Meeme
and is about two-thirds of a mile in
length At a joint meeting of the town
boards of Centerville and Meme the
Meeme members opposed the opening Of
the road, giving among other reasons
that the petition Was not signed by the
requisite number of freeholders, while
the Centerville board favored it, thus
creating a dead. lock. The matter was
then appealed to the county court and
Judge Chloupek appointed commission
ers who ordered the road opened. 1t is
said that the Meeme board persists in
ignoring the order. Consequently those

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The noted Boynton embeZzlement
case came to an abrupt and final termi
nation last Friday in circuit court, when
Judge Lueck who had been called in to
preside at the trial, after hearing the
states testimony decided that if there
had been any embezzlement the crime
had not been committed in Wisconsin.
The aged prisoner was discharged. A
striking feature of the trial WAS the sight
of the defendants sister, Mrs. Hatta
bough, aged 81, who had come from
California for the purpose, occupying
the witness stand hour after hour and
bearing up under a searching cross-ex'
animation. The civil action against
Boynton, pending in the supreme court,
is not affected by this decision.
Atty. A. L. Hougen represented Boyn-
ton and put up an able fight for his
client.
The case against Fred Eggert, fire.
quently explained in these columns,
went against the eX sheriff, when the
jury after being out 26 hours, returned
special verdict saying that although
the officer had not Deen guilty of negll-
gence in allowing the boat to leave port
he was guilty of negligence in not re-
possessing the boat later. This throws
the burden of paying a $4,000 Judgment
and heavy costs upon the ex.sheriff and
his bondsmen, who are John Schreihart,
Jos. Staehle Alex Schnorr, Henry Wits
and c. F. Buerstatte. 1t has been init
mated that the case will take second
journey to the supreme court.
John Rahrourer will be requested to
appear and explain why he is not obey
ing the courts order to pay $50 per
month toward the support of his seven
children.
Saturday morning the court ordered
Frank Krizek, of Two Rivers, to pay
$50 per month alimony. Mr.. krizek
is the person who became quite consider
ably frost bitten few weeks ago while
visiting in the city.
