After the counsel for the defense
made answer 20 the pieadings OF
the City Of Ennis in their case
against the Fl. & T. c. Ry. company
to perpetuate the restraining or
ders to prevent their removal OF the
division headquarters and shops to
Mexia. the taking Of evidence was
begun. Judge Andrews denied the
right of the city through contract
with a receiver TO prevent the rail
road company from moving their
shops and division headquarters to
a more convenient place. lie urged
that the receiver. Dillingham;, who
made contract with the citizens OF
Ennis, was in no wise acting for the
stockholders and they should not be
bound by same. He likewise claim
ed the right to have this suit heard
in the courts of Harris county, the
home of the defendant company.
When the taking of testimony
was started objection was made TO
the introduction of pleadings, affi-
davits and records of the receiver
ship case away back in 1885, which
called for the excusing of the jury
from $3.50 Tuesday afternoon until
Wednesday morning to give counsel
for plaintiff and defense opportun-
ity to argue the objections to such
evidence. 1t was 9 O'Clock this
morning when the jury was called
back and the evidence offered I'M

While the case is a most inter
esting one, and one in which inter
est throughout Ellis county is cen
tered it is progressing SO slowly it
is difficult to follow. A very hard
legal battle is being waged and ev-
cry inch of ground is contested.
1t is very probable that it will
take more than a week to complete
the case.

be to make the school the center OF

among the young people in order
that they may set an example Tor

II is the purpose of the Chamber
OF Commerce that whatever benefits
Ellis county will benefit Waxaha-

work offers as great returns as ag-
ricultural work at this particular
time. 1t is estimated that fully
million dollars was kept in the
county this year by reason of the
farmers growing their own feed
stuff, and that If this policy is con

benefits will begin to be felt in a
most substantial way.
The campaign for this agrieultur-

each and every farm boy and girl
interested. Attractive prizes will be
offered locally, and the contestants

about the different branches of the
contest in which they might have a
good chance TO win first prize, and

han.
While visit to the volcano is also
one of the primary features of the
trip, it is planned by the officers to
spend considerable time in tracing
out plans for Il military camp.
The idea of such camp is not new
to tropical countries In which soldier
ing is done, bit il Is new to Hawaii.
If it goes through here, the camp will
be. similar to. Baguio in the Philip
pines, where troops are stationed at
intervals in the hot season, and where
the summer capital is located.
In India also the English army has
found il advisable to establish camps
on higher elevations to afford sol
diers a change of climate.
In Hawaii, besides giving this
change, the camp will allow army men
tt become familiar with another isl
and other than Oahu, this being one
of the reasons why the local depart
ment has always encouraged trips
away from here.
The camp will be available for
troops of the Hawaii guard, and it is
likely that when it is established com.
pauies from here viii take advantage
of it at frequent intervals. One of
the provisions of the new army bill
that is now in the hands of the presi-
dent is that gIardsmen shall be in
camp Is days during the year, so that
it is likely outdoor work will in the
future become more and more import
ant
