The examining trial of S. M.
.Jester, the young white man,
■ charged with criminally assault-
ing Miss Hulda Mattiza near the
union depot at Elgin on the
morning of July 8, 1909, was
held at Elgin before Justice W.
H. Kennedy this week, resulting
in the remanding of the defend-
ant to jail without bail.
The trial consumed three days,
beginning Monday morning and
concluding Wednesday afternoon
and was one of the most hotly
contested and eagerly watched
preliminary trials held in Bastrop
county in many years. The State
was represented by Hon. J. S.
Jones, District Attorney; Hon.
Jack Jenkins, County Attorney;
Judge Paul I). Page and Hon.
W. O. Bowers, of Giddings,
while the firm of Orgain, May-
nard & Webb and Senator Q. U.
Watson, of Giddings, appeared
for the defendant.
During the entire proceedings
eager crowds filled the court room
manifesting the keenest interest
in every word of the testimony.
After all the testimony had
been heard, warrants were sworn
out charging J. Rosentritt, W.
Sandberg and Earnest Mayer,
three of the witnesses for the
defendant, with perjury, who
were immediately placed under
arrest by SherifT Townsend and
brought to Bastrop on Wednesday
after noon and lodged in jail.
An application was at once
made to Judge Sinks for a writ
of habeas corpus, it being agreed
between the parties to submit the
question of bail to the district
judge upon the record of the
.estimony in the examining trial,
and SherilT Townsend took the
defendant to Giddings at noon
Thursday.

for it? The subscription com-
mittees have worked faithfully
and themselves subscribed lib-
erally. Their earnestness was
shown from the first, and con
tinued with energy. The most
of th>ise in the immediate vicinity
of town have done their full duty
some of them subscribing as
much as 6 and 10 per cent of the
value of their property; others
without a dollar's worth of prop
erty, in town or county, have
contributed liberally, while others
have lagged behind, refusing to
give a doli^.r for the cause."

A CORRECTION.
In justice to ourselves as the
board of equalization and to cor-
rect a wrong impression conveyed
to the public in last week's issue
of the Advertiser, under the head
of "Valuable Stock for Sale'; by
J. E. Adams, we wish to say
that the personal property men-
tioned (1 horse and 1 r^ule) given
in at $50 each were not raised at
all, but another pair of mules
and 1 wagon which Mr. Adams j
forgot (?) to render (which he has j
been using in the city, hauling:
mine props) were rendered by
us at the value of $250, making
in a'l $350 valuation. Now, this
board wishes to be as liberal
as Mr. Adams, and if he
will sell the above property for
amount rendered, $350, we will
find him a ready buyer and will
not charge him any commission
for our services, but we feel sure
that our proposition will not be
accepted. This is not a board i
sitting for the purpose of raising'
and lowering willfully and par-
tially, but to equalize for protec-,
tion to tax payers generally, and
in instances as above where there |
is an oversight in the rendition
of property, to render it for them
to the best of our ability and
judgment. In each case a notice j
is sent to persons raised and in
case of error said party has only
to come before us at the regular
meeting, proving our error and
it is quickly rectified.

to appear before the board. we|jn the lower part of town. Tues-
