“It hardly seems possible that Con-
gressman Cooper can approve the op-
position to thp proposed deep water
movement suggested by Secretary
Woodhead and endorsed by some of
the leading business men of the city,
yet the Journal seems , to speak with
authority, since It keeps up and Mr.
Cooper does not protest. We have
been a long time getting a little meas
ly approproation, which will Just about

If we are to judge the future appro-
priations by the past, we need not look
for any deep water unless we raise
the money by some such means as
that outlined by Secretary Woodhead."
The abdve appeared in the editorial
columns of the Beaumont Enterprise
of today. The writer has not seen
the article in the Journal referred to
above, but he Is quite certain that In-
stead of opposing any measure to se-
cure the coveted deep water, Hon. S.
B. Cooper will be found working for
the same. There may be good reasons
why the movement suggested by Sec-
retary Woodhead is not feasible, and
Cooper may be fully acquainted with
same, but it Is not just to him to in-
timate that he Is opposed to the en
tire proposition, if the editor of the

Involved ih securing the “little meas-
ly appropriation” referred to, his
sense of justice would not permit the
slurring reference to same. The
writer spent about six weeks at the
National Capital assisting in his feeble
way the efforts of our congressman in
securing the “measly” appropriation,
and he considered it a great victory
for the cause. It was recognition of
the project by the government. It was
secured without a report of the en-
gineers on the specific route, which
was almost without precedent. Had
the appropriation been only $69,000, it
would have been a victory. It has
never been the policy of Congress to
drop a project of this character, once
it has been recognized. The under-
signed has no intention of engaging
in a newspaper controversy, but be-
lieves In placing honor where it is

result of his influence and preqtyge,

opinion of the writer the speediest
consummation of the deep water
project, so dear to the hearts of the
entire population of Southeast Texas,
can only be obtained by continuing

Mrs. J. P. Lynd of this city rested

washerwoman, but forgot to take her
money—one hundred and thirty dol-
lars—out of the clothes. ’ She has been
in the habit of carrying {he money,
and last night when about ready to
retire, discovered that the money was
gone. ft ‘ ' *. ' ’
She remembered that a certain
washerwoman had carried the clothes
away, and so the woman and her hus
band were told of the mistake and
atkked to return the money. ” "
They denied knowing anything
about .the matter and refused to dig
up.
No kind of persuasion would do and
so at last the husband of the colored
woman was looked up in the city cal-
aboose, where he slept ail night
When asked about the money again
this morning, he said he didn’t know
anything about it, but might possibly
find it if it was on the place anywhere.
So he was turned out and succeeded
in finding one hundred and twenty
dollars. As there is still ten dollars
short, he will be held in custody till
it is forthcoming.

Test Case Made of the Bull
nance yesterday by Mr.
* Russell.

There was on trial all day yester-
day in justice court a case uixm which
perhaps depends the existence of the
city of Orange as a corporation.
It was the case of R. E. Russell
versus the city of Orange, and Vi
Ratcliff,
It was decided about four o’clock
yesterday afternoon too 1st® to be
handled by the Tribune, so.it was held
till today when all the facts in the
case could be ascertained.
The case though seemingly insig-
nificant was the talk of the town late 1
yesterday evening and this morning.
Sometime ago the city council pass-
ed the following ordnance: 1
“Article 10. That ft shall be the duty
of the city marshal to take up and im1
pound any bull, stallion or jack found
running at large In this citf; and af-
ter five days notice in writing, posted f8™
at three public places in the city
limits he shall proceed to sell sueh ani-
mal at public outcry to the highest
bidder for cash, and after deducting
all fees and costs as herein allowed, ,:
shall return the surplus, if any to the , J
owner thereof; provided that the own- , X
er of such animal shall have the right
to release such animal at any time be-
fore the sale of same by paying to the
marshal all fees and costs accrued at
that time.”
This is the ordinance that was at-
tacked yesterday and according to the
verdict of the jury the ordinance
known as the “Bull "Ordinance” is
knocked out. Not only that but the
effect of the verdict will be to bring
on a fight on the legality of the pres-
ent corporation of the city of Orange.
Mr. R. E. Russell owned a small
bull about 17 months old and it was
impounded under the provisions of the
ordinance just fiecited. It was adver-
tised and sold without Mr. Russell
knowing anything about it. so he says.
It was bought by Van Ratcliff, and Mr.
Russell demanded pay of Ratcliff for
his bull. Ratcliff refused to cough up
and so Russell brought suit. This
hurried Ratcliff up a little and he
made the city of Orange co-defendant,
and employed Judge Poole to push
the case.
Judge Poole attacked the validity of
the city corporation by showing that
although the city of Grange had been
incorporated a number of years It had
failed to comply with the law that re-
quired the exact limits to be surveyed
and the field notes placed upon record.
This, so it was shown had never
been cjone, although the various legis-
latures had gone so far as to validate
/the acts of various towns and villages
