BIG JUMP FOR LAWYERS.


Austin, Texas, May 4.-Transfer-
ring cases from the first to the
eighth districts in order to equal
ize the dockets, makes a jump ap.
proximately 900 miles for the law
yers and litigants in fifty-nine cases
which had been pending in the
court of appeals at Galveston, but
are now transferred to the court at
Ell Paso. The supreme court made
an order apportioning cases
among the several courts of civil
appeals in order that there may be
an equalization of the work
A total of fifty-two cases were
ordered changed from the docket of
the appellate court at Fort Worth
to that of the appellate court in
Texarkana; twenty-five cases from
the Dallas appellate court to the
Austin court of appeals; thirty
nine cases from the Dallas court to
the San Antonio court of civil ap-
peals twenty-five cases from the
Galveston court to the San Antonio
toui 70, anu tht llllg-IlHt CASTS
from the Galveston court to Ell
Paso.
The cases transferred to Ell Paso
include forty-seven from Harris
county, eight from Brazoria coun-
ty; one from Leon, two from
Grimes and one from Montgomery
Some days ago the supreme court
ordered the clerks of the several
courts of civil appeals to certify the
condition of their respective dock
cts. The returns showed how the
courts stood with reference to work
ahead. Judging from the trans
fers it would appear that the Ell
Paso court had light docket, 9TH
erwise the supreme court woul6 not
have sent the cases 500 miles dis
tant. There probably will be a small
percentages of oral admissions in
the transferred causes Some law
yers must make trips to the Cat
City at the expense of clients
The dockets at Texarkana, Aus
tin and San Antonio were not over
burdened, for Austin drew twenty
five new cases, fifty-two went to
TeXarkana and San Antonio receiv-
es fifiy-throe.
1t was apparent the dockets were |
very heavy at Galveston, Dallas and |
Fort Worth, hence the relief given
those courts by the transfers.

CAPTAIN ROGERS SLIDE


Bald Mountain or Rogers Rock on
the west shore of Lake George rears
its ponderous bulk OF granite to an al
most perpendicular height Of 1,lOO
feet, being matched by a similar bulk
and height on the east, half mile
away Here Captain Rogers and his
small army on snowshoes were de-
feated by a large army OF French
and Indians. The small remnant were
scattered through the forest at the
top OF the mountain, and party OF
Indians tracked the marks OF the
snowshoes Of the refugees. When
Rogers became aware that he was
likely to be driven over the precipice,
be made his way to the brink, threw
his pack and accoutrements down the
slide to the lake. lie then turned his
snowshoes around and. after stealing
along the edge OF the hill, made his
way down the lake, picked up his
pack. reversed his snowshoes and
sped southwark to the NarTows. where
he was met by Captain Stark with re-
inforcements and provisions. The In
dians followed Rogers tracks TO the
brink, where, seemingly. were two
tracks to the precipice. They con-
cluded that two white men had slid
down to the ice below. While gazing.
they saw mile away the form OF
Rogers. But considering him under
the special protection OF the Great
Spirit, they made no further pursuit
