JOHN M. HANNAH KILLED
In a Runnaway Accident at Graball
Sunday.
Pasaersby on the Graball road
near the mercantile establish-
ment of C. H. McKinney Sunday
afternoon discovered the dead
body of John M. Hannah lying
by the roadside. An examina-
tion of the body revealed the fact
that the neok was broken and
that death had been instantan-
eous. The turning out from the
road of the buggy tracks which
showsd where the vehicle had
encountered a severe jolt lead to
the conclusion that the team
whioh the dead man was known
to have been driving had become
unmanageable and in turning
out of the road had thrown the
driver out on his head, breaking
his neck. 1 Mr. Hannah was in
the habit of driving a skittish
mule. The officers who investi-
gated the matter decided that
death was accidental.
Deceased was well-known in
Brenham, having resided here a
number of year?. A decade or
so ago he was constable of the
Chappell Hill precient for several
terms. He was possessed of
many friends and stood well in
the community. He resided on
a place belonging to Mrs. Mattie
Hudgins at the time of his death.
Mr. Hannah married a Miss
Allcorn, whose death ocourred
some years ago. The only near
surviving relative is a son, Mr.
Wm. Hannah, who is unmarried.
The funeral oocurred at Grab-
all.
Several interesting races are
being arranged for Thursday,
June 18th, to occur at the old
fair grounds. Two purses of $50
and $25 have already been ar-
ranged and others will likely be
provided, it in expected that the
event will bring a number of
good horses together.

kelmann's is fully guaranteed as

sured. Call on him.

The very important question of
whether or not a city council has
the right to remit a fine imposed
by a recorder's court was a nut
which the honorable city fathers
of Brenham were called on to
crack at a regular semi-monthly
meeting of the council Monday
afternoon.
During the Maifest Dude
Walker, while in the employe of
Alderman Wm. Lusk, was ar-
rested for fast driving by the
redoubtable Ed. Inge, who keeps
the peace of Camptown. Walker
plead guilty to the charge and
was fined a total of $10.20. At
the meeting of the city council
following the occurrence Mayor
Wiikins was absent from the city
and Mayor Pro Tem Lusk pre-
sided. He made a statement of
the affair to the city council, and
after considering the matter the
council remitted the fine.
The matter was reopened at
the meeting of the council Mon-
day afternoon by the clerk read-
ing the following papers:
|(Brenham, Texas, June 18.—Gentlemen:
After having considered, and tinder the ad-
vice of the city attorney R. J. Swearingen, 1
cannot approve and concur in the action of
the city council at the last meeting in remitt-
ing the fine in the case of the Stato of Texas
ts. Dade Walker in tbe recorder's court of
the city of Brenham. The oity attorney, by
request of the city marshal, will deliver his
opinion to the ciiy council at tbe proper time.
R-«pect fully, etc,
J. A. WiLKiss, Mayor,
The opinion of the city attorney
is contained in a letter to Mar-
shall Sallis as follows:
W. L. Stills, City Marshal, Bienham, Texas
—Dear Sirs
You request an opinion from tbii depart-
ment on the following question: "Has the
diy council the authority and tte power to
remit a tine imposed upon a defendant in the
corporation couit of this city ?"
In reply you are advised as follows: The
lit? court was, by act of the last legislature,
mad: a state court under the name of "Cor-
poration Court." Ttese corporation courts
being therefore state courts, are controlled by
the state laws as to pleading, practice and
procedure, as found in the Code of Criminal
Procedure. The only provision made for
847
cedure and reads as follows: "When the
judgment against a defendant is for a pe-
cuniary fine and the costs of prcsecuticn, be
shall be discharged from the lame—
I. When the amount of such fire
and costs have been fully paid.
a, When the same have been remit-
ted by the proper authority.
3. When the defendant has remained
in cutody the length of time required
bylaw to satiiff ihj amount of such
judgment. * * *
1 he question then is—Is the city council
the proper authority to remit a tine ? The
city council can not connitute itself the
proper authority to remit a fine, and it could
only receive that authority by legislative en-
actment. Hie legislature has never granted
to a city council this authority, and the only
provision made f*r the remission of fines is
round in Article 1016 of the Code of Crimi-
nal Procedure, as follows:
"Art. 1016 In all criminal actions, except
treason and impeachment, the governor shall
have power, after conviction, to remit lines,
grant reprieves, commutation* of punishment
and pardons."
The supreme court of Te^as, in construing
this artiofe in the case of Luckey vs. State;
14 Texas p. 400, held that the power to «•
mit floes, etc., was nested exclusively in the
governor of the state. You are therefore ad-
vised that ihe city council has no authority or
power to rem't a fine imposed upon a de-
fendant in the corporation court
Respectfully,
r. J swxabikgin,
City Attorney.
Marshal Sallis stated that he
had a capias pro fine for the de-
fendant and would like to know
whether the council wanted him
to proceed with the arrest. Dr.
Luhn moved that the marshal be
excused from serving the writ.
The mayor declared the motion
out of order andrefused to put
the question. Considerable die-
cussion followed. Alderman
Luhn withdrew the motion.
Alderman Mathis made the mo-
tion himself and appealed from
the decision of tbe chair. The
mayor refused to put the ap-
peal. Then there was a great
deal more talk which came to
Alderman Mathis
from the chair

again appealed
and the mayor again refused to
put the appeal before the house.
Alderman Mathis then put the
queetion before the house.
Aldermen Jaeggli and Burch
voted to sustain Mr. Mathis and
Alderman Luhn to sustain the
mayor. Alderman Lusk had al-
ready announced that as the
matter was one that effected him
personally, he would not vote.
When the vote was announced
as two to one against the mayor
functionary very promptly
that he vetoed the
vote. And thus the matter end-
ed ,with the result that the rul-
ing of City Attorney Swearingen
will have to be revised or the
days in which the city council
of Brenham can omit fines are
ended.
There were other important
matters before the council. A
committee from the board of
trustees of the city schools, con-
sisting of Messrs. J. D. Camp-
bell, C. W. Winkelmarn, W. A.
Wood and F, Dobert sub-
mitted their annual budget for
the ensuing year amounting in
round numbers to S15,000. The
budget was adopted and the
council agreed to build an ad-
ditional room and employe an
additional teacher at the first
ward school. The Mayor and
Aldermen Lusk and Jaeggli were
appointed a committee to see
about beautifying the Central
school grounds.
The finance committee re-
ported favorably on the reports
of the treasurer for May, the
poundkeeper for April and May
and the Marshal's for April and
May. It was moved that Asses-
sor and Collector Salley be re-
quired to make his monthly re-
port at once, that he have his
q-tarterly report on occupation
tax payers made out in full by
July 1, and that he turn over the
assessment'rolls of tbe city im-
mediately to the city board of
equalization, which according to
the appointments made by the
mayor will consist of B. Eldridge,
Clint Giddings and Harry
Haynes. The board is] to begin
work on Monday, June 25.
The mayor^" reported that he
had borrowed $1200 at 8 per cent
from L. Brennan and $1000 at
ten per cent from the First
National Bank.
It was decided to use the wire
fence around the Third ward
sohool grounds for fencing the
city land in the eastern part of
the city, to be used as pasture for
the city mules.
A number of bills were ordered
paid.
