With the deadlock in the city
commission still unbroken, city en-
ployees in the clerical departments

ternoon, and vouchers were issued

this pay roll. The remainder Of
the list, which brought the amount
up to about $4,000. is paid semi

LIBEL TRIAL
ANDASSAULT
CASES LEAD
Monday Will Witness
Opening Session
In City

One OF the most important terms
or federal district court ever held
here-important because or the R.
b. Creager million dollar libel suit
against p. r. Golfers company-will
open Monday with Judge y. g.
Hutchinson. Jr., on the bench at the
opening.
Another case that sets this term
aside from the usual dull routine OF
liquor and immigration trials will
be the one Of six Mercedes parties
charged with shooting A. g. Graft
federal prohibition agent.
This IS the first criminal case or
this character to come before the
Nation Watches Suit
The Creager suit will be followed
by the entire nation as the articles
which the national republican COM
mitteeman alleges libeled him
created q stir in all parts OF the
country. This trial is probably the
biggest ever to be heard here from
a standpoint Of interest.
The Brownsville man Is seeking
81 900 900 damages--S5nO,O0 900 actual
and $4,000 900 exemplary-as the Re
suit OF two articles published by the
national weekly. The first, Jobs
for Jack" dealt with alleged politi-
cal patronage In Texas; the eSecond,
High handed and Hell-Bent" with
the political situation in Hidalgc
county, was the chief figure rap
ped. but Cresger was mentioned
incidentally.
10 LlquOr Cases
One interesting feature OF the
case is the plan Of the plaintiff
counsel TO center their libel charges
upon illustrations which accom-
panies the first article.
It is probable ttiat the libel suit
will not be before the court until
the second week or the term. Liquor
and immigration cases, or which
there are about 20, viii likely be
cleared from the docket the first
week.
Graf was wounded at Mercedes
