The cause OF her grievance was that

turning home. The agreement was
that she was to pay their fare to Dal-

families and finish picking her crop
of cotton.
They arrived at the station, accord
ing to her story, about 3 o'clock.
which was after the northbound

told her the train was not
due until o'clock. The south

About 10 o'clock this morning Mr..

BRYAN IMPROVEMENTS

lhe lact tndt rue Eagle puDIIbutb
the little items of Improvement each
week makes It constant source Of
interest to our readers that are away
from Bryan and we are not only glad
to show cur former citizens what is
going on within our gates but we are
also glad to call the attention Of our
citizens to the rapid advancement that
is going on daily. Since the last ar
ticle on this subject many little i'm
Iprovements have been made, and
among them we call special attention
to the following:
In the past ninety days there have
been two and three-quarters miles OF
sidewalk built and contracts have
been signed which will make it over
three miles.
The sewerage system has been ar
ranged for and the engineer is so far
advanced IN his plans that actual work
will begin about the 18th of this
month.
Mr.. ]. ID. DAILY has Just completed
q concrete walk on the side OF his
property on Washington street, rom
Caldwell to Austin.
Mrs. Hearne is having walk built
the full length of her block on Wash
ington street.
Tyler Haswell is having a walk
built around his new home on the
Westside.
Work started this morning on a
new residence for Mr.. ]. B. Mike, on
the site where his home was burned
some time ago.
The new jewelry store OF Mr.. P. s.
Park, on Anderson street, will be
open In short. time. The fixtures are
here and the work of Installing then
and arranging the building Is going on
this week.
The International L. Great Northern
Railroad Company has recognized the
Importance Of Bryan as commercial
center, and has separated this district
from the Houston district and created
what is known as the Bryan CONNER
cial district Bryan man has been
appointed as commercial agent. with
headquarters here. He will have
charge Of the general passenger and
freight business in this district, and
will open his Office at the International
& Great Northern depot In short
time.
Among the improvements, we wish
to calr attention again to the fact
that thousand feet OF new hose has
been ordered for the fire department.
A building and loan association is
being moulded into shape for organI-
cation.
Among other improvements there is
one fact that Is worthy OF special
mention. That fact Is this: The mer-
chants Of Bryan are enterprising and
liberal In subscriptions for public en-
terprises. The many calls that are
made are all responded to and there
can be no narrow spirit of selfishness
where such liberality exists.
The next improvement article will
be on The Financial Growth of Bryan
In One Year" II will be an interesting
comparison Of figures and also de-
tailed account Of the growth

Cutshaw was a bit off in lis work. two Of

work in the field.
Moser had lot Of speed on the ball and he
famed seven of the senators. But for that
doubtful decision at the plate he would have
made clean shutout. His work certainly jus
titled a blank to his credit.
Sacramento played wonderful fielding game
and the lineup was broken up at that Spies

shifted to first base and Holster went out into
center and Burns held down the job at short
Maggart was ousted by Umpire Finney in the

some very unkind remarks to the indicator man
and these were audible to most of the specta-
tors in the stand. Maggart refused to leave

Special Officer Hughey Smith grabbed him and
ybade him be on his way.
Captain of Police Gleason, leader of the flying
squadron which has been a terror to the gam
blers, was out making tour of inspection OF
