GRANTED WRIT OF ERROR
Seeks to Enjoin Dallas from Fixing

tant Influence.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]

Austin, Texas, Dec. 21.-The Texas
supreme court today granted writ of
error in an injunction suit brought by
the Southwestern Telegraph & Tele-
phone Company to prevent the city OF
Dallas from effecting an ordinance
fixing telephone rates calling for re-
duction on bills paid before a certain

right to fix the rates, and that they
can not be fixed by referendum vote
under the Dallas charter.
The outcome of the case will have

success, Anti Matrimony," was born
in the east, and her greatest stage tri-
jumps were achieved in the principal
cities of that section, her heart is
bound up in the great northwest, for it

were spent. The now famous actress

H. Crosman, of the United States army.
who served his country for over a
quarter of century. AS a young girl
Henrietta Crosman and her mother ac-
companied the major on all occasions,
and were with him at every post where
his regiment happened to be stationed.
These posts extended throughout the
northwest from Minnesota to Washing
ton, and for some time Major Crocmal
was located at Fort Lincoln, near Bis
marck. 1t was here that Miss CrOs-
man. then very young girl, had an
experience which was quite unique,
and one which she has had cause to
remember to the present day. One
camp and happened across an Indian
who had injured his hand in some man
ner. With quick military instincr, and
with the experiences born of watching
the post surgeon, the young girl quick
ly bound up the red skins wound, and
he departed in silence. The next day i
delegation Of braves visited the camp,
and with great solemnity created the
majors daughter the Medicine Wom-
am of the tribe. 1t appeared that the
Indian she had befriended was a prom.
inent chief, and took this method of
showing his gratitude. Before they &C.
parted they loaded the young girl with
presents Of all sorts, many of which
the actress has retained to the prese IT
day. A peculiar fact is that the tribe
has kept track Of Miss Crosm1n
through all her triumphs, and every
now and then she becomes the recip-
lent of a handsome rug, fur vase or
other souvenir OF Indian design. Only
last week, while appearing in ST. Paul
a handsome Indian rug was left at the
hotel for Miss Crosman by a we'll
dressed Indian, to which was attached
a card bearing the sign of the tribe.
Though this popular star has not ap-
peared in Fargo in several years. every
one will recall her last engagement
here and will want to see her again,
especially in such a clever play as
Anti Matrimony'' is said to be.
