NEWS OF THE
COURTS
- '*JI
In Judge Walthall ? court yesterday
the case of the state vs. Charles GU-
liert was tried. It oocupteo most of
the day and late iu the afternoon the
issues were submitted to the jury.
The jury was out only a short time
They returned a verdict of not guilty
and the defendant regained tyis lib-
erty.
Gilbert was accused of theft from
person, which Is a penitentiary offense
irrespective of the amount Involved.
It appeared from the evidence that
the defendant was a box car tourist
and in company with Thomas Jenkint,
hail taken up Ms quarters in a fretght
car.
Jenkins claimed that while asleep
Gilbert robbed him of *20. He made
a complaint to this effect The money
was found on Gilbert. However, the
latter contended that Jenkins had
given the money to keep for him so
that it would be safe aud he could not
spend it. At the trial there were onlv
three witnesses introduced, namely.
Officer Taylor and the two men. The
officer testified to the arrest and the
prosecuting witness and deiendant to
the facts as above set forth.
Attorney C. B. Patterson appeared
for the defendant and Assistant At-
torney Thurmond for the prosecu-
tion.

son or that something definite might
be ascertained concerning her rels-
Itves and friends. But so far noth
ing positive has been learned and no
inquiries received, although special
efforts have been made to secure In-
formation.
Yesterday Jailer Molina received a
letter from the chief of police of
Brooklyn, N. Y„ in which it Is stated
that no trace of the girl or her people
could be found. The chief added that
he had Investigated the various ad-
dresses, but could discover no Barker
family that knew anything about the
girl. He suggested that perhaps the
name Is one that she assumed. The
girl Is very quiet at present and has
little to say, but it appears that she
takes more and more interest in
Ibings In general than she did when
first taken to the county Jail. Usually
she gives intelligent answers to ques-
tions except such as refer to the past,
regarding which her mind appears to
be a perfect blank.
Change of Venue.
The case of Jeff Davis county vs.
Presidio county has been transferred
to the district court here on change
of venue. The suit was brought here
from Ward county, r The suit has
been Dending some time and involves
the disputed boundary between the
two counties and the question of the
legality of the election transferring
the county seat from Fort Davis to
Marfa. Fort Davis is in Jeff Davis
•county end Marfa is in Presidio
county.
T’we pdttSott"’ti a vblhmftiods doc-
ument. covering several pages of
typewritten matter. It reviews the
material allegations and facts con
netted with the history and founda-
tion of The respective counties. The
petition then alleges that the order
for removal of the county seat was
illegal and that the defendant has
collected a large amount of Taxes on
real and personal property that be-
longed to the defendant The plain-
tiff therefore prays that the act Of the
legislature approved March 16, 1867,
creating and defining the county
boundary lines bO affirmed, That
surveyor'.- be appointed by the court
to run and lay out the boundaries ac-
cording to law. It Is further asked
that an Injunction issue restraining
the deiendant from collecting any
more taxes which should- come to
.loft Davis county and that judgment
for $8,000 be given plaintiff as money
(iue if from taxes and unlawfully col;
looted as alleged.
The answfer to the petition Is a gen-
eral denial and a long specific plea
which attacks the validity of the
act of March 15, 1887, as nnconstl
tipional as no county can be crested
by the legislature where the county
scat is to appear nearer than twelve
miles to the boundary line. The
facts cited regarding the formation of
I he counties are admitted, but it is
claimed that the removal of the codm
iv scat was legal and in strict com-
pliance with the provisions of the
law. Any indebtedness is denied and
i. m claimed that nothing has been
done to render the defendant flnan-
cialiv if spoil si bio to the plaintiff.
Judge Walter Gillis appears for the
Plaintiff and J. A. GlUeft and Falvey
& Davis for the defense.

lar monthly session.

Claims Damages.
Swisher, the crazy man who was
brought in from Fort Bliss aud acted
In such a violent manner, has quieted
down and talks perfectly rational ex
copt when he speaks of being locked
up. Then he gets very wild anu re-
fers to his suspicion of people trying
to rob him and says he wilt institute
damage suits against all Ills enemies.
Called Mom*.
Jesnrday Judge, Goggin received a
telegram announcing the serious Ill-
ness of bis child, and left at once for
Eagle Pass. Therefore his court was
not in session yesterday, nnd the con-
tinuation of the McComas damage
cult against the E. P. & N. E. Rail-
road W83 postponed until his honor’s
tcuru.
Grosnd Jury Commended.
Rev. H. W. Moore of the Presbyte
rian church announced to his congre-
gation Sunday that the authorities at
their last session had adopted a set
of resolutions commending the work
of the grand jury of the October term
of the state district court.
Case Dismissed.
The cose of J. H. Moseiey vs. the
Southern Pacific Railway company

the plaintiff. The cause of action was

settled out of court.

vs. Momsen & Thorne, pending in the
district’ court, a decree has been

Of Milts’ map of El Paso.
This was au action of trespass to

a disclaimer and the suit was pot con-
tested. Judge Stanton appeared for
the petitioner.
X staff correspondent of the Chat-
tanooga. Tenn.. Times, who attended
the recent Confederate reunion at
Dallas, writes to his paper as fol-
lows about the mother of Hamilton
Rayner. special officer in this city for
th< Southern Pnclfle Railroad;
“Among the North! CaroHnalane
whom we met. now residing in Texas,
were:
"Mrs. Susan S. Rayner, who iB the
widow of Judge Kenneth Rayner, who
represented the Raleigh district in
congress for a great many years be-
fore the war and afterwards was a
judge of the court of Alabama claims,
end occupied until his death a posi-
tion In Washington city in some of
the departments or the government.
Mrs. Rayner is the daughter of Lieu-
tenant Colonel William Polk, in the
Continental army in the Revolution-
ary war, and is one of the few real
daughters of the American Revolu-
tion, who have survived. The society
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution have recognized her as a
real daughter and have presented her
With a souvenir gold spoon, suitably
engraved, with her name on it. Mrs.
Rayner was the sister of Bishop Polk,
who was killed at Pine Mountain,
Ga., whilst a lieutenant general In
command of a corps in the Confeder-
ate army during Sherman’s Atlanta
campaign. •
“The government has pensioned
seven of the real daughters of th*
Revolution, but one of them resides
In the south. Mrs. Rayner was one
of tho wealthiest women of the south
when the Civil war began. Tne war
ruined her husband and has left her
penniless. It is remarkable that the
widow of Kenneth Rayner. an old
whig leader, who was loyal to the
United States during the Civil war
and the sister of Bishop Polk of the
Protestant Episcopal church, a near
relative of President James K. Polk,
a near relative of the wife of Her-
nhel V. Johnson, who was governor
of Georgia for four years and candi-
date for vice president on the Doug
las ticket in 18R0, the daughter of a
lieutenant colonel in the Continental
army, who was wounded in the bat-
tles of Brandywine, and Eutaw
Springs, should be neglected and not
receive, at the hands of the govern-
ment. tho same pension given to other
real daughters of the American Rev-
olution. It. Is a shame that this
woman, who. although her husband
was loyal to the United States, threw
open her doors and made a hospital
of her home In which the sick and
wounded from the Confederate'army
wore cared for before and after the
retreat of the Confederate army un-
der Joe Johnson and tho surrender in
North Carolina. If there is left one
drop of blood of tho old soldier and
there Is any just demand for pensions
by the government, can anything ap-
peal more highly to the American
heart than the claim of this mother
in Israel and angel of the battlefield?
“Mrs. Rayner took with her to Tex-
as from North Carolina her daugh-
ter. Mrs. J. H. Hyman, whose chil-
dren, Messrs. Kenneth R. and Joseph
H. Hyman and daughters Mrs. S. L.
King and Misses Susie and Sal He
Hyman, reside either :n Fort Worth.
Tex., or Mineral Wells. Tex.”
