COURT NEWS

Monday was a busy day for Judge Rounseyille in the Justice Court. There were no less than five cases scheduled for trial when the court convened. In fact those present said that it looked like old times to see the court so busy.
 The first case tried was the state vs-Jack Oliphant who plead guilty to assault and was senten- ced by the court. The facts in the case were that Jack and i"John Barley corn" doubled teams on Jacks wife and gave her chastise- ment which she resented. The evidence showed that Jack, is, when divorced from ''John' good workman and provider, but after associating with "John" for a while turns against his friends. The court considering the circum- stances permitted the charge to be changed from felony to a misde- meanor and gave him s75 or 75 days on the county bastile. s.s
 The next case was the state vs- E. J. Williams who was charged
 
 with assault and battery. Ward A. Clark was the prosecuting wit ness. The evidence in this case developed that Williams was. a Knight Errant,'a protector of women, a defender of the meek, a private secretary out of employ ment and few other things too numerous to mention. c. B. Will son appeared for the state and the defendant represented him elf. Somehow or other the Court, as Courts do, did not appreciate the defendants motives when he claim ed not to be the real offender, but rather defender and gave him 50 days or 50 dollars.
 The assa ulteases of the state-ys Jose Morales and the State-vs- Lewis were continued to Thurs day.
 The case of Pedro Somorz was transferred to the Police court and were later held for trial.

MOUNTAIN LION KILLED

Last Tuesday R. T. Brown found where the mountain lions had killed a colt west of his ranch near Williams. The lions had killed the colt and covered it up with leaves. He rode back home and secured some strychnine and re- turned to where the colt was killed and without dismounting poured the poison on the carcas of the colt and rode away. On Wednesday he went back and found that the colt had been dragged away and eaten by the lions. A party was at once organized and hunt started. A dead lion was found later in the day not a great distance from where it ate the poisoned meat. As the men rode up two other lions skulk- ed away into the woods. The man who saw it was unarmed and did not pursue the beast.
 The lions have killed number of colts in this neighborhood and the ranchmen are very anxious to get rid of them, and they are determined to have them all killed. R. T. Brown, Gus Poison and G. H. Barney say that the killing of this one lion is worth great deal of money to the cattlemen. For several years Gus Poison has lost all his colts that have been foaled in this part of the country.

ON TO v|CKsBuRG

Since our last writing, we have seen southeast Texas, New Orleans and portion of Mississippi.
 As we left Houston going to New Orleans there was variety of things to be seen. Many swamps did we see in which stood large clusters of trees. On these was hanging Spanish moss in great quantities which is utilized in making mattresses. Then we came to forests of pine trees which were being tapped for the purpose of making turpentlne and resin. Buckets were fastened to the trees into which the sap flowed. Soon we passed from these scenes out in- to the open cultivated parts where rice and other plants were raised. | After IA hours ride from Hous- ton we arrived at the wonderful city, New Orleans. It was found a very hot city.
 Some of the things most notable at New Orleans were: Spanish buildings, French buildings, canals, nice large city park, and the won derfully large wharfs where many vessels from other ports, such as New York and Havanna, were be- ing unloaded and loaded.
 Work upon the wharfs was being done in a very systematic way.
 We went thru the vessel from New York and were treated most royalty by the officials. This ves- el sails from New Orleans to New York in five days.
 There was one peculiarity about New Orleans and it is the fact that they bury most all the dead above the ground. <
 As the thermometer stood near 100 deg. in the shade all the time we were at New Orleans, we soon sought northern cline.
 Coming north along the Mississ- ippi Valley were to. be seen more rice fields, together with small fields of tobacco and ordinary sized fields of corn.
 When we arrived at Vicksburg and were seeking our way to our hotel, we were reminded of the description of the location of the place, as given by our historian Montgomery. The great hills or bluffs as mentioned in history lis not mere dream but reality, es- pecially, when climbing them on such hot days.
 We leave for Memphis tonight and we hope, but in vain I suspect, that the temperature is cooler. ~
 Oh! but for two hours breathing of Williams pure and exhilarating air. we'd give much.
 Truly,
 A. w. Youngblood.
