More than the pitching of cold
Pete Billy Sherdel and Jess
Haines, more than the batting of
Jim Bottomley and the skillful man

short stop who is topping off a brill

ENJOIN EAST
LYFORD ROAD
King Ranch Owners
Object to Road to
Laguna Madre

Alleging that the construction OF
a proposed highway from Lyford
east to the shores Of the Laguna
Madre would prove inimical to the
interests Of the heirs of the late
Henrietta NJ. King, and that the
county commissioners court Of Will
acy county had acted without proper
authority of law in designating and
condemning right-o-way for the road
across the King ranch lands, an APP
plication for a temporary writ OF IN
junction was filed with Judge A. M.
Kent of the civil district court in
Brownsville Saturday morning.
The application was granted, pre-
venting any further action in con
n%ection with laying OUT or construct
ing the road upon the King lands
pending final action IS the court.
The action was brought by r. J.
Kleberg, ST., Caesar Kieberg, Richard
King, Samuel Z. Ragland, John ID.
F~ninegan, Richard Mifflin Kleberg
and Robert j. Kleberg. Jr., trustees
of the estate of the late Henrietta NJ.
King.
The application alleges that the
County Judge A. B. Crane and the
commissioners court of Willacy
county were without jurisdiction to
grant the petition for the opening
Of the road; that no legal notice was
given the plaintiffs; shat the latter
were deprived Of an opportunity TO
appear at the hearing, and that all
notices and proceedings were null
and void.
The principal objection raised is
that the King ranch is devoted eX-
clusively to the grazing Of cattle, and
that the wners Of the ranch have eX-
pended ove $4,000 in Graduating
tick and other parasites from that
section Of the King PASTURES. The
application asserts that III the road Is
opened through the pasture to the
Laguna Madre it will cause great
damage to the plaintiffs in their
cattle business.
On December 10, 1927, the Willacy
county commissioners court acted
favorably upon a petition for the
opening of the road, the petition be-
ing signed by so property owners
Of the Lyford section, headed by
Z. vi. S~orenson. On Jaruary 20, 1928,
q board Of five appraisers was APP
pointed by the court. On March 20,
the appraisers rendered their report,
stating that as the heirs of Henri
eta NJ. King had filed no claim OF
damages, no damages were assessed.
Willacy county is understood to
have completed surveys through the
King lands and preparations were
being made to construct the road as
soon as possible. providing romeo
tions between Lyford and the Laguna
Madre beach.
