fenses in the justice court Satur-
day morning, Justice W. R. Ew-
ing presiding.
Joe Blair, charged by Silvia
Shelton with disturbing tho peace
and abusive language, was de-
clared not guilty by the court af-
ter hearing tho evidence.
On a companion case to the
above Silvia Shelton was charged
by Joe Blair with abusive lan-
guage and disturbing the peace.
The court thought that SI and
costs would sufficiently reim-
burse the State and fined the de-
fendant in that sum.
Coleman Hill also had a vale of
woe to tell of Silvia's reprehen-
sible conduct in disturbing tho
peace and the court entered
another dollar and costs opposite
her name.
Polly Yarborough charged
Laura Willie with an affray.
The defendant plead guilty and
was fined $5.
In county court the following
orders were entered on the civil
and probate dockets :
Estate Ewald Seidel, annual
account of Wm. Seidel, adminis-
trator examined and approved;
application for sale of real estate
heard and granted aa prayed for.

ceased, application for appoint-

burg, continued on application of

ment.

Always a few second liand
wheels on hand at

W.J. GRABER.
Mr. R. Striekert is now re-
presenting the McFaddin cotton
interest in Brenham. He is a
clever gentleman and a safe man
with whom to do business.
. Remember that tomorrow is
a special bargain day at the Har-
rison Dry Goods company. Call
early and avoid the rush should
be a sufficient hint to the wise.
Mr. Thomas Gilder, a resi-
dent of this place some time years
ago, died last Monday at Los
Angelo, Cal., in the 33rd year of
His age. He was a son of the
late Dr. Gilder.

nington hotel was sold under

The first bale of cotton which
Phelon Lewis, a farmer of Austin

Wm. Kramer, for rent. Consta-
ble Burch served the citations,
and the matter resulted in a com-
promise.
A colored beer saloon and
restaurant has been opened on
Quitman street for the dispensing
of Magnolia beer. Always room
for one more seems to bear
special application to the saloon
business in Brenham.
In emulation of Bill Nye's dog,
Entomologist, Ed. Inge, the
Camptown policeman, came near
biting off more than he could
chew Saturday evening when he
undertook to convey John Johns-
ton to the lockup. Johnston had
tanked up on bug juice until he
felt entirely too large to be ar-
rested by a "nigger" policeman
although himself of African de-
scent. The assistance of Police-
man Loekett was necessary in
•conveying him to the calaboose,
and both officers had their hands
tun.
Tonight's Banquet.
The lunch which the Second
Regiment Band and the Bren-
ham Field Artillery will enjoy at
Germania hall this afternoon is
being prepared by that well-
known caterer, Mr. Wm. Buech-
erl, of the Oak Hall restaurant.
It will be served on long tables
arranged in the bowling alley
after the style employed in en-
tertaining tho Sixth Annual Skat
Congress, which met there last
May. As a prelude to the ban-
quet the band will play a speci-
ally prepared program from five
to seven o'clock. The regular
summer night concert will be
given after the banquet has been
disposed of. Manager Wielkens
who has the affair in charge says
an abundance of free beer will be
in evidence.

A Fistic Melee Which Ended in Black
Eyes and Court Proceedings.
There was a fight Friday jight
between two colored women,
Laura Willie and Polly Yarbor-
ough, that if put in a kinetoscope
would rival the Carson City meet-
ing between Pompadour Jim and
Lanky Bob. It might not have
been as full of scientific points as
tho one referred to, but the
rounds were longer and the
fighting fiercer. In all probabil-
ity neither of the principals had
ever heard of the rules promul-
gated Uy the Marquis of Queens-
bury. They had no ring, no re-
feree, no time keeper, no seconds
or bottle holders. No purse of
ten thousand dollars dangled in
firont of them ready to drop into
tho victor's palm. They fought
for love and not for sordid gold.
Jealousy was the motive power
and sweet revenge the object to
be obtained.
When the case came up for
hearing before Justice Ewing
Saturday, Laura's wavy tresses
were still disheveled and her nose
bore unmistakable evidence of
recent bleeding. Polly had con
siderable azure aboat her optics
and her face had the appearance
of hurting her to some extent.
The casus belli as developed at
the trial was the assidious atten
tion which Laura's husband has
been paying to Polly.
Horny Hands vs. Irrigation.
In a communication appearing
in the Houston Post of Satur-
day C. II. Willingham of Ballin-
ger replies to an article by Mr
D. O. Lively of Fort Worth and
says:
I know Mr. R. K. Felder, one
of the gpntlemen he talked to, i is
a horny handed son of toil—knew
him in Washington county many
years. He is a good man and a
perfect gentleman, but mos
woefully imposed himself on
Lively, for he has not got a horn
on either hand, never did have
and never will have. Mr. Felder
is like a great many others—
knows a good speculation scheme
when ho sees it and probably
holds a good large body of land
he very much desires to unload
on some soft snap and leave him
the bag to hold.
just what the horns or lack of
horns on Mr. Felder hands have
to do with the adoption of the
irrigation amemdment the Ban-
ner can't conceive. He is a
prosperous farmer at Chappell
Hill and is entitled to any benefits
accruing from the amendment
by reason of owning a consider-
able section of land in West
Texas.

filling of sparkling soda, a good
shake and tho result is a drink as
cold as the "frozen fields and as
rich as a golden nugget."

People in the vicinity of the
Quitman street fish house were
complaining at the removal of a
lot of rotten fish therefrom at 0
'clock Saturday morning. The
stench arising from the barrels
was almost sufficient to knock a
person down. If we mistake
not there is a city ordinance
prohibiting the removal of such
filth during day time.
