Vicksburg. Miss. June 11.-This
city today is entertaining a large
number of Confederate veterans and
visitors who are present TO take part
this afternoon in the unveiling of
bronze statue to General Stephen ID.
Lee. who at the time of his death
was the commander in chief of the
United Confederate Veterans.
In addition to the gray-clad veter-
ans. General Frederick Dent Grant
OF the United States army is the es-
pecial guest of the city.
The grandsons of General Lee are
here to unveil the monument.
Many thousands of people wit
messed the unveiling OF the magnifi-
cent monument The exercises We're
beautiful and impressive. Addresses
We're delivered by Henry Watterson.
General Evans, General Grant and
others.
In part, Gen. Evans said;
our thoughts and feelings today
concentrate fitly on the patriotic life
of Lieutenant General Lee. as we
shall always associate him with the
distinguished part. will make his
well known life the theme, his char
acter an example and his career the
suggestion of the citizens patriotic

merely a titular nobleman without
the noble graces, but a monumental
nobility. proven by his deeds. be-
longed to him without other escutch-
con. This monument declares his
fame and our country will accept it
as a part of its own glory
General Evans spoke of "the four
years brilliant military career of the
great Confederate soldier" which he
declared could be expanded into vol
umes by narrating the wonderful in
cidents of that vast war in which he
achieved the fame the country de-
lighted to honor.
In concluding, General Evans de-
clared that the people of the north
and the south should more perfectly
know and more kindly consider one
another.
"They should mingle without pref
udice,' he said, without distrust,
and for mutual benefit-not for par
tisan or sectional gain. Let east and
west interchange courtesies and not
complaints; let south and north cul-
tivate fairly a more general frater-
nization by the exchange of admira-
tion instead of recrimination. The

THE RIVERS STILL FALLING


Both the Grand and the Gunnison
rivers have continued to fall slowly
during the past As hours. Cool
weather in the hills and mountains is
responsible. The Gunnison river is
about ~ inches lower today than it
was on Wednesday and the Grand
river is 10 or IL inches lower than it
was on Wednesday. II was on We'd
nesday that the rains came and caus-
ed cooler weather TO prevail.
1t has been warmer today than on
yesterday and ii promises to be still
warmer tomorrow, in which case the
rivers will probably take an upward
start again.
The rivers are still very high, even
in the face of the fall of the past 8
hours, and at all pumping plants and
bridges and dams men are keeping
close watch and reinforcements are
being thrown up every day.
There was some trouble last night

to be in good condition.
II is reported that the waters in
the creeks in the Plateau valley are
very high and some of the small
bridges have been more or less seri-
ously damaged. The Plateau valley

A LIVELY TILT
IN THE COURT.
Judge Shackleford Refuses to Con-
tinue the Hearing of the Suit
Over the Moody Residence.
WILL TRY THE CASE TOMORROW

There was lively time this morn
ing in the district court when the
hearing of the suit, detailed a few
days ago by The Sentinel, brought by
the Sherman w Moody Jewelry COM
pany against Attorney Sam. Berry,
to deprive Mr.. Berry of whatever
title he may claim or have to the
Moody residence on Ouray avenue.
was opened.
Attorney Berry in his answer to
the lengthy complaint of the plaintiff
set forth that he has a title to the
property and offers evidence and
argument. etc, supporting his con-
tentions.
When the case was called this
morning Attorney Berry, represent
ing himself asked for continuance,
Attorney Sam. G. McMullin, repre-
senting the company, fought this re-
quest for continuance on the
grounds that an early adjustment of
the Moody affairs is imperative and
necessary.
Judge Berry took exceptions to
some of the allegations made in the
complaint and over these and over
the request fora continuance very
lively controversy between the two
attorneys was carried out. II was n
spirited but wholly respectable ex-
change of declarations and argu-
ments and proved very interesting to
all present in the court room at the
time.
Judge Shackleford finally over
ruled the request for continuance and
announced that he would take up the
case for final disposition tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock.
The contest over this property
promises to be a very hard fought
one.
In an affidavit which Attorney Ber-
ry filed today he declares that he
has rightfully and for the considera-
tion of services rendered secured a
title in the property. The affidavit
further sets forth that. in an effor.
to get him to relinquish his title to
the property, he has been intimidated
by certain men.

The question has been frequently

filed by the deputy district attorney

can be ascertained to have the case
tried. There is another case on the
docket of the county court that no

because the change of city admin
istrations put man in the office of
city attorney who doesn't care to
prosecute the case. That is the case
