tp R. M. Cries, Dode Criss by Alex
Collins and wife of the 21st day of
November, 1810, by deed recorded I
in Vol. 119, page 112, Deed Records
of Denton county, Texan.
Plaintiffs plead the statute of five
and ten years* limitation and further
that they werd lawfully seised and 1
possessed of said land but were I
ejected therefrom on or about the
first day of April* 1913, by the de- 1
fendants; that aaid 130 acres of land
is out of the Jonathan Petty 320-acre 1
survey, a part of which was conveyed
by the said Jonathan Petty and his '
wife, Rachel M. Pety ew'Geo. Morris
and the certificate of acknowledge- !
ment to said deed fails to state that i
the contents of the same were ex-
plained to the said Rachel M, Petty
but in truth and in fact such expla-
nation was made by said officer
beToro whom the exe ution of said
deed was acknowledged; that by
deed dated March 30, 1869, Robert.
M. Collins conveyed part of said
land to Lafayette Morris who there-
after as L. E. Morris conveyed the
same to Hiram Layton and the said
Lafayette Morris and the said L. E.
Morris are one and the game person,
but the r< cords of -Denton county do
not show the same to be a fact, and
that thereafter said Hiram Layton
conveyed a part of said land all of
which includes a part of the land
described in plaintiff’s petition, to
J. E. Murphy and in part payment
therefor the said Murphy executed
two notes for 1300.00 each, payable
to said Layton and secured by a
vendors Hen on said land, both of
which notts have been fully paid off
and the said Hen retained to secure I
the same has been fully cancelled |
but no written release was obtained I
and that thereafter the said land I
was acquired by A. S. Harrington and I
wife Amanda A. Harrington, who by I
their general warranty deed, dated I
July 12th, 1888, conveyed aaid land I
to Alex Collins and in part payment I
therefor the said Collins executed
one vendors Ikn note for the sum of
31435.00 which was additionally se-
cured by a deed of Trust filed July
30th, 1896, and recorded in Book R. I
page 397, Dsnton County Deed Rec-
ords, and that the said note was ful- I
ly paid off and discharged and both
the vendors Ileus and tbe deed of
trust lien thereby can elled; but no
release thereof was furnished, Plain-
tiffs further allege that on the 16th I
day of January, 1860, said Jonathan
Petty conveyed 80 acres of 8aid Pet-
ty survey which includes part of I
plaintiff’s said land to Drury Smith I
and received therefor the * sum of I
8100.00 in cash and that said deed I
was filed and recorded in the County I
Clerk’s office of said county but de- I
stroyed in the burning of the Court I
house of said county on the 23rd I
day of Dee ember, 1875, and neither I
said original deed nor certified copy I
thereof can be obtained but that |
said deed conveyed all the interest in
said land of Jonathan Petty and
his wife Rachel M. Petty; and there,
after about the year 1868 the said
Drury Smith died, leaving a will
whereby he devised the said 80 aerfs
__ ________ _r
E. Smith and that said will was duly
probated about the year 1868 at a
regular term of the County Court of
said county and recorded but that
the said will as well as all. the rec-
ords pertaining to the probate of the
same were destroyed in the said
burning of said court house and no
certified copies thereof can be ob-
tained; that the omissions insu-
larities, destruction of records, ap-
parent Hens, want of releases nd all
of the defects herelnbefofa mention*
ed cast a cloud on plaintiff’s title to
said land and hinder and delay them
in making a sale thereof and greatly
depreciate the value of said land to
their damage in the 8um of Five
Hundred (8500.00) Ddllars
Wlrerefore plaintiffs bring this
suit and pray that the defendants be
cited to appear and answer herein
in the manner required by law; that
on the trial hereof an attorney be
appointed to represent the unknown
defendants and a guardian ad litem
to represent the minor defendants,
if any, who fail to appear in answer
herein and that tbe plaintiffs have
judgment against each hnd all of
the defendants for the^eatMOMon of
tnelr said land and Freaks, for
damaces and that each and all the
clouds cast upon plaintiffs’ title to
saiu land by reason of the destruc-
tion of the instruments and records
and of the-omissions, irregularities,
defects, apparent liens and want of
rel«ase8 as above set out be cancelled
and removed and that all right title,

for the construction of buildings for other State
Institutions, as well as bonds for the purpose of
constructing buildingsand making improvements
for the Penitentiary System. This power was
exercised only once^ and then by E. J. Davis
and hie carpetbag legislature.
We believe this a dangerous provision.* ft
will surrender to the Legislature of Texas a
dangerous power, giving eighty men the
authority to burden tbe taxpayers with debts in
unlimited amounts.
This '’omnibus” amendment contains seven
distinct provisions, some of which may be good,
but even if you favor one of these propositions
you can not vote for it without voting for all
the other six.
More than thirty-five years ago, when the
Legislature of Texas had authority to create
debts and issue bonds against the property of
the people under the E. L Davis administration,
bonds were issued for nearly Four Million of
Dollars, and after the taxpayers have carried
that burden for almost forty years, and after
the people have paid out in interest more than
Seven Million of Dollars, the bonds are still
unpaid. / ' - n
Will tbe intelligent voters of Denton County
consent to surrender to the Legislature the
power to mortgage their property, without hav-
ing a voice as to the amount of the bonds to bo
issued or the rate of interest to be paid? Why
not let the people have a vote in determining
the amount of the burden they shall bear instead
of permitting the Legislature to decide that
mportant question?
This resolution ought to be defeated and we
believe will be unless the voters neglect to go to
the polls and vote.
We urge you to go to’the polls and vote. Not
only go yourself, but urge your neighbors and
fnends to go. It is of vital interest to the
people of Texas, not only to this generation, bat
to the coming generations as well?
Do not confer dangerous and unlimited power
on the Legislature of Texas by failing to vote
against this amendment.
Leave on your ballot unscratched the following:
”Against amendment to sections 49 and
52, Article 3.”
