ants against the Santa Fe's proposed
route on two grounds;.- first because
of the immediate paralleling of one or
two little independent lines meaning
that the life will be squeezed out of
them according to the view In West
Texas; the second because the pro-
posed line .is to avoid several of the
well-established towns m the West
and build new towns out there. The
last it is said would seriously dam
age prosperous Western tdwns" 'andl
put money in the pockeii of promoters
of land companies who are on tha
"inside" and know the location of the
new line. In fact tbe Santa Fe would
establish Its own towns and they
would be local stations and compe-

with railway facilities would be left
high and dry.

Galveston Texas June 29. Direct-
ors of the weather bureau here this
morning hoisted the storm signal as a

It is believed that there is no occasion
for great alarm. A storm raging out
in the gulf has caused high tide but
nothing alarming. The wind was from
the north all night and at noon it was
still from that direction though the
barometer has been stationary for
four hours. A heavy rain began fall-
ing at 11 o'clock this morning and the
chances are unless the storm shifts to
the east of this city the wind may in-
crease to forty miles an hour. Sev-
eral unfounded reports were sent out
this morning as to the danger ap-
parent. GREEN WILL CASE TO
GOME UP FOR TRIAL
WJ1I Probably Be Disposed of This
Week Before District Court
Adjourns. 3
The celebrated Green will case fe-
versed by the higher courts and a new
hearing granted will probably come
up for trial in district court here this
week. This case has been tried sev-
eral times in the lower courts and on
appeal a new hearing was granted
which brings the case back for an-
'other trial. The case involves the
property of the late Ed Green which
amountst& considerable and for which
there appears to be two conflicting
will. One will leaves all the prop
erty td Brownwood heirs while an
other will leaves a portion to an older
son of the deceased In Tennessee. The
second will is contested on the ground
that It is a forgery although it is sign
ed and witnessed by Brownwood peo
ple and is a later will than the. one
leaving the property to the Brown
wood heirs
The case haa attracted considerable
attention and is being fought hard by
the attorneys representing the two
factions.
