COUNTY COURT.
Attorney I. E. Reeves, repre-
senting the Frisco railroad, filed
a number of condemnation suits
against property holders in West
Collin whose land lies along the
proprosed route of the road.
Committees were appointed to
appraise the land.
In the suit of J. M. Woody vs
W. T. Hooten, for damages, the
court Friday rendered judgment
in favor of the plaintiff for $17.45.
The jury for the week was dis-
missed.
Rookloss Conduct.
Sunday night Marshal Warden
arrested three young men for
reckless driving and being too
boisterous. They were in a bug-
gy and had been driving very
recklessly over the city shooting
off a pistol and talking loud at
intervals. When arrested a pis-
was found on the buggy seat.
While in the city bastile they
tore up the closet apparatus. All
%vere released on bond Monday
morning. One entered a plea of
guilty for carrying a pistol and a
fine was entered against him of
$45. The other two were fined
$20 and $14 respectively. Mar-
shal Warden is thoroughly in ac-
cord with law and order and
should have the support of all
good citizens It is a remarka-
ble state of things when a bevy of
youngsters think that they can
drive recklessly over the city
shooting and shouting curses at
the midnight hour. Todd will
get them at every opportunity.
It is to be regretted that a Texas
libel law forbids reputable jour-
nals from printing the entire
facts.

A Peddler is Jail.
A peddler was seen to enter
a farmer's house several miles
east of town in the family's ab-
sence who discovered on their
return that a pistol and gold
watch had been stolen. The
Sheriff's office was notitied and
Deputy Shei iff Wms. Warden
soon had the peddler in charge
who strongly denied his guilt.
But as he could not produce a
her back and could get no relief.
He savs: 4*After using the Pain
Balm for a few days my wife
said to me, 'I feel as though born
anew,'and before using the cn-
jtire contents of the bottle the un-
! bearable pains had entirely van-
ished and she could again take up
her household duties." He is
very thankful and hopes that all
suffering likewise will hear of her
wonderful recovery. This val-
uable liniment is for sale by City
