Former Bates County Man Gets
Verdict in Texas Land Fraud
Case

The case of w. F. Stewart VS.. Z. G.
McAllister and wife was decided in
Hidalgo county, Texas, last week in
favor of f. &. McA1lister and wife
and they were awarded damages in
the sum of $16,112.56 in addition to
the cancellation of certain notes
given by them amounting to $4,000.
The case grew out of the convey
ance of tract of land in Texas by
Stewart to Mr.. and Mrs. McAllister,
for which the latter paid some fifteen
thousand dollars and executed vendee
notes for $4,000. Stewart brought suit
on these notes, and McAllister, by his
attorneys, filed cross petition charg-
ing fraud and deceit in the procure
ment of the notes, and asked for DAM
ages in the amount of the difference
between the value of the land as rep
resented to them at the time of, pur-
chase and its actual value, and the
judgment was awarded upon finding
of facts by the jury in the case.
J. A. Silvers, of the firm of Silvers
and Dawson, conducted the case for
Mr.. and Mrs. McAllister.
The case aroused much interest in
Texas because of the fact that in the
past ten years the land companies op-
Grating in the Rio Grande Valley
have figured in many hundreds of law
suits, and this is the first instance
in which a judgment has been rem
dercd against one of them

GERMAN HATE DRIVE
STARTED ON WILSON
Military Class Blames President for
Shipping Ultimatum to Holland
and Failure of Peace Bait
to England.

Washington, March 16.-That Ger
many deliberately is encouraging ex-
treme hatred of the United States in
Austria and at home was shown in a
number of official communications
reaching here today. The German
military class, again in complete
power following the conquest of Rus
sia and Rumania, has inaugurated a
campaign to hold the United States
responsible for continuation of the
war.
Todays dispatches show that all re-
sponsibility for the joint agreement
between Great Britain and the United
States for the shipping ultimatum to
Holland is being laid at the door of
President Wilson by the junkers in
Berlin and Vienna. In addition, the
president is held responsible for the
failure of the entente to bite at new
peace bait launched under cover.
Ludendorff and Won Hindenburg,
with their minor satellites, are singing
a new hymn of hate" against the
United States and loudly mouthing
threats of new peace by the
sword" Their attitude is reflected
from the entire German press and the
junkers have taken drastic measures
to overcome once and for all the mod
crates and the Socialists.
Official Washington has been ex-
pecting this. 1t has been known for
weeks that German military leaders
had believed President Wilson was
bluffing in his peace demands and
that, if Russia was forced to TERMS
he would be willing to listen to new
peace suggestions which would SEEM
ingly give him all that he has demand
ed for Belgium and northern France.
while leaving Germany free to exc
cute her will on Russia.
