NORTH TEXAS NOTES.
Prairie fires are doing much damage in
Clay County.
Orilla, Ellis county, lias local option.
Only one man voted for whisk}'.
Col. Chambers, of Cleburne, is a mem-
ber of the national executive committee
of the Greenback party.
A boy horse tlref has been arrested in
Rusk count}'. He says he has stolen over
1000 head and been caught several times.
The grand jury of Denton county wants
the name of every man, woman or child
who has set lire to the woods or prairie.
The extreme penalty is three hundred
dollars line.
In flic matter of dogs some person or
persons unknown in Clay, substitute
poison for the tax which the legislature
repealed. A general application of the
substitute throughout the state wouldn't
hurt it.
The Denison Herald is responsible for
the assertion that “a small boy in the par-
lor where a dry goods clerk is sparking
the boy’s big sister, will make the course
of true love rougher than riding in a lum-
ber wagon.”
The Denton Monitsr says: “It is
thought that, our grand jury will find two
or three hundred true hills. In the mean-
time several persons, knowing themselves
guiltv of violating the law, have
•skipped.’ ”

Hickey on Hides and Wool.
The hide market has been and is very
much depressed. 'The general stagnation
in business lias of course effected hides as
well as everything else, besides, we ha-ve
this season received. In the East, South
Americaa#bides in greater proportions
than heretofore, while our tanners have
large leather stocks, and no good market
at home or abroad.
Wool, like hides, is also down. The
market for our Texas spring clip is not
yet open, still we are of the opinion that
wool growers tributary to Fort Worth
will get here the full value of their clip.
I am prepared to pay the Eastern prices,
freight, etc., off. So far think 10c for the
carpet grades and 15 to 17c for the cloth-
ing, all the market affords.

THE RACKET RUINED.
G. W. Hill, Committed for an
Alleged Contempt of Court
by Recorder Brown,
Is Honorably Discharged In a Habeas
Corpus Trial Ilefore Judge
Cummings.
The habeas corpus trial of G. W. Hill,
continued, was taken up again before
Judge Cummings yesterday. A number
ol other witnesses were examined, but
the testimony was not conflicting, and
went to corroborate the facis connected
with the arrest ot Hill as appeared in yes-
terday’s issue of the Democrat.
During the entire trial the courtroom
was the scene of subdued excitement.
The interest of the spectators never waxed
cold, and with but very few exceptions,
the sympathy evinced itself plainly for
Mr. Hill. It devolved upon Judge Cum-
mings to mete out the letter of the law,
and upon the final conclusion of the tes-
timony his honor was the central object
ot the crowd’s observation. The attor-
nies submitted the case to his disposition
without argument, and a moment ot sus-
pense and silence preceded the charge of
Judge Cummings. No one knew what
view he had taken in the premises, and
anxiously did the silent assembly, await
the closing, and when the words, “I order
him relaased from custody,” vibrated
lrom wall to wall a wild yell of delight
rent the air, and Mr. Hill was warmly
congratulated upon receiving justice at
the hands of a higher authority than the
recorder’s court with Autocrat Brown in
the lead.
The following is the ruling of Judge
Cummings, in our opinion a most fair and
impartial one:
THE DOCTRINE OF CONTEMPT.
1. Where an offense is committed in
presence or in the hearing of the court,
which has a tendency to impair the
authority or the efficiency of the court, it
is in the power of the court to impose
upon the offender a summary fine without
the issuance of any preliminary process.
2. Where the offense is committed
with the hearing or the presence of the
court, the proper mode of procedure is
the entry of a judgment nisi against the
delinquent, on which issues a scire facias,
giving the offender notice to appear at a
day named and show cause why the judg-
ment should not be made final. The ac-
cused may, of course, waive flic issuance
of the scire facias and appear before the
court and purge himself of tiie contempt.
3. This rule applies to officers of
Courts as well as individuals.
The fine in this case was imposed for a
supposed offense done without the pres-
ence of the court, and upon one who is
not an officer of the court and over whom
no power was given to the court by law.
For this reason, the judgment below is
set aside and the prisoner ordered releas-
ed from custody.
Emerson’s Minstrels.
Billy Emerson, the king of the burnt
cork gang, will be with us Monday and
Tuesday. Some of the state papers have
the following comments :
Emerson’s California Minstrels opened
their engagement at the Waco opera
house last evening, and were greeted by
an audience that tilled parquette and gal-
lery alik. The entainment was an un-
usually tine one, and the company may be
said to be considerably above the average,
embracing many artists who are really
stars. Billy Emerson, who we had not
seen for several years past, is as enter-
taining as ever, and bids fair for a long
season of burnt cork triumphs yet. Mr.
J. W. Morton, the other end man, was the
“right man in the right place,” and is
deed a rare genius.— Waco Telephone.
Last night opened the engagement of
Emerson’s California Minstrels, and gave
an entertainment which insures them
crovvded houses as long as they may
choose to Stay.—Galveston News, March
11th.
Emerson’s California Ministrels played
to another large audience in the Tremont
opera house last night. The performance
was of such general excellence that it was
enthusiastically applauded from the open-
in g overture to the concluding sketch.—
Galveston News, March 12th.
A crowded house greeted Emerson’s
Minstrels last night, and evidently enjoy-
ed the performance. The troupe is a
good one, and are deserving of the suc-
cess they are receiving.—Houston Tele-
Bram March 13th.

Baylor County.
Baylor county is split by the ninety-
ninth meridian, and is also cut nearly cen-
trally from west to east by the Brazos
river, and is situated immediately north of
Throckmorton. One of our reporters
had a pleasant interview yesterday with
Capt. J. R. McLain, the president of the
Oregon colony that located in Baylor last
August. The captain is a whole-souled
pioneer, and admirably suited as a leader.
He informed our reporter that last August
when his colony arrived there, consisting
of only forty people, there were found
only ten families in the county, located in
the southeast corner. That there are
now about eight hundred people in the
county, and they expect to organize it
about the first of May.
They have built a line settlement near
the centre of the county, at which they
have a mail once per week from Graham
City.
The captain will leave to-day with sev-
eral wagon-loads of lumber for this new
settlement, which is called—in honor of
the colony from Oregon—“Oregon City,”
and will be the future county town of
Baylor county.
Capt. Me., in his true Scotch hospital-
ity, wishes strangers to visit this section
to locate homes for themselves and
friends, and states that his latch-string
always hangs out-side.
Date Change* in the Internal Be venue
Daws.
Tbe following changes in the United
States Internal Revenue Laws, are the
most important made by the act of March
1st. 1879.
Any retail liquor dealer can close out
his entire stock, when discontinuing busi-
ness without taking out license as whole-
sale liquor dealer.
No new license is required when one
partner retires from a firm, and the busi-
ness is continued by the remaining partner
or partners, provided no new member is
introduced into the firm.
After the first of .June, 1879, all import-
ed wines and liquors will have to bear
imported stamps and brands, which must
be effaced when the package is emptied, in
the same manner as the stamps and
brands on whisky barrels at present.
A Rare Chance.
I wish to sell my hotel and restaurant
furnished and complete. Any one with a
little cash, wishing to invest same in a
safe, paying business, will find it- to their
interest to call on or address me. All
propositions will be accepted up to the
first of March. P. J. Miciiou.
