WASTE OIL SUIT
la the Nature of Contempt Pro-
ceedings Before KittrelL
SUPERINTENDENT POWER
Acting Under Order of Court to
k. Protect Field from Fire Is
Argued at Much Length.
Purtnf the past two days a suit of
Much Interest to oil producers ha been
OB trial before Jude Ktttrrll of the
Watty-first district court. Testimony and
rfumeit fcn the case were ooocluded yes-
traay and the court withheld his decision
until today.
The met Ion m airaJntt Robert Bank
In Um nature of ooauapt procdlnse. it
fcavtas; been a! kited that he was tn con-
tempt of an order promulgated last Jan-
nary by Jads Kit trail In his app utntraeut
of a aaperlmeodent of the field
At the ttme of the appointment of a
uperia ten dent D. B. Beattjr brought ac-
tion against the Moonshine and Landslide
om parties the action being; based upon
claim that the court bad a riftht to ap-
point a superintendent to protect the
field from the ravages of fire.
By areennt snonf the parties to the
action. Mr. C. E. Barrett was appointed
uperlnteDdent. with powers to dtsj
dlteaaa through the field to a point of
concentration where all the waste oil
wuw he run. This waste oil was to be
hw eesBpensation ot the superintendent
for his ssrvlc-
For the past several months ever since
the open toe of the field this waste oil
lias bean run through these ditches into
Jordan trail v and conoentrated In a pool
to the northeast of the field. The oil
was pumped from this place Into settling;
taaks by the superintendent and disposed
of as his property.
HEADED OFF THE OIL.
Boms time ago Mr. Robert Banks se-
cured a lease on six acres of land from
Mr. Cle vela nd . This land Is Iocs tpd on
Jordan gully. In fact the gully runs di-
rectly through It. The land la situated
above the pUre where the superintendent
was concentrating the waste oil.
Banks erected a dam across the gully
and aught the waste oil.
Mr. K. B. Baldwin then appeared on the
scene claiming that he was rirtlnn as
superintendent or the rteid it is mi
bavins; secured the right to act as such
by C. E- Barrett. He had had control
of the waste oil for some tlm. When
Banks erected his ditch it is alleged
Baldwin went higher up the gully nnd
rected another ditch. This ditch was
erected on Banks' lease. Baldwin pro-
ceeded to pump the oil from the gully.
Banks then consiflted his attorney nnd
the attorney advised him that. Inasmuch
as the ditch erected by Baldwin was on
Banks' property. Banks had the right to
cut the ditch and he proceeded to act
upon the advice.
There were stormy scenes enacted about
the gully and shotguns were not kept in
ths bAckgrouad though nothing serious
transpired.
The squabble which ha 1 given prom We
to result lu s trial of physical force was
tsrmlnated hy an action airUnet Br.nks
alleging contempt and nil injunction to
restrain him from further taking the ell.
THB POINTS AT ISSUE.
It Is the contention of Barrett and as-
sociates that the court had the right to
appoint a superintendent to prevent a
firs In the field and that the superin-
tendent was clothed with the powers of
ana I Bent domain that in order to ran
ths waste oil away from the field the
superintendent had the right and power
to out ditches through property regard-
less of who owned the property.
Ths contention of the respondent Barge
to that he was not tn contempt of the
former order of the court which was
tromul gated at the time the supertn-
endent was appointed that no one save
the Moonshine and Landslide people and
those named specifically In the order of
ths cqurt could be held in contempt for
interfering with the superintendent from
catching waste oil. Banks further con-
tends that the property over which the
oil Is run Is his property aad that he has
ths right to It. lie further oon tends
that even If It is held that he has not
ths right to this oil. the parties running
It over his land have no legal right to
do so without due compensation to him.
Jordan gully not being a running strertm
within the meaning of the law. It is con-
tended respondent has a perfect right
to place a dam across It or for that mat-
ter fin it up.
Thers Is no getting away from the real
point at Issue and that Is that the re-
pendent desires the waste oil. There Is
rioney In It somewhere In the nelprhbor-
ood of BOO to 100 barrels coming down
the ditch dally. Ths superintendent and
those acting for him also want the waste
41 for the sams reason that there Is
Bkoney In It
EACH WANTS THB OIL.
It hss not been shown that Banks'
aotlon In damming ths gull has endan-
gered the fleld'( to ths ravages of fire.
Admitting that such action on his part
endangered ths field to firs would be ad-
mitting that ths action of the opposing
parties in erecting a ditch higher up on
Banks' land was a 'further danger.
Judgw Klttrell announced after the evl-
t denes wag closed that ho didn't think the
defendant was'gullty of contempt for ths
reason that he had acted under advice
from his counsel and that ths only point
lis thought la ths case was the question
as to whether ths superintendent had the
authority to use tns stream involved in
his controversy for the purpose of can
Awinv ths waste
on irom ins item m
order to prevent fires. .

CROSSING FIGHT
Doable Injunction Proceedings in
Kittrell's Court.
HEARING NOT CONCLUDED
Electric Company and I. G. N.
in an Interesting; Contest.
Employes Had a Fight.
Two Injunction proceedings were begun
simultaneously yesterday afternoon be-
fore Judge Norman O. Klttrell of ths
Sixty-first district court. One action had
been brought by the Houston Electric
company In seeking to restrain the In-
terns Uoual aad Great Northern Railway
company with interfering with the appli-
cant tn the construction of a street car
criMsing- over the railway track of ths
defendant company while the other was
an application from the International and
Great Northern company seeking to. re-
strain the Houston Electric company
from constructing a crossing.
By agreement among the attorneys
both Injunctions were heard simultane-
ously. A full account of the Issuance of the
temporary writs from Judge ICIttreUa
""tit appeared In yesterday mornlRf'i
Post The Houston Electric company
was working on the extension of ths
Congress-Franklin avenue belts. The)
crossing over which ths contention arose
Is located at the Intersection of Mil by
and Commerce streets at the crossing of
the Oaklswn and Magnolia Park rail
way. this property being under the con-
trol of the International company.
There had been some interesting Inci-
dents at the place on the afternoon of
Monday prior to the application by ths
Electric company for an injunction. Ths
employes of the Electric company were
endVavorlng to construct a crossing
while the employee of the lptern.it tonal
company were impeding the work by
threatening to run a string of cars across
the track and thus prevent the erection
of the crossing.
The street railway company's tempor-
ary restraining order was secured early
In the evening. The company went Im-
mediately to work with a large force
erecting the crossing. At 11 o'clock the
International company secured a ism-
porary restraining order snd this waa
plated In the hands of n deputy sheriff
wiin instructions to serve it instant er.
H' proceeded to the scene hut the Elec-
tric company had already completed ths
dousing the trolley wires had bee a
strung and s car was In waiting to make
the circuit. The officer was Invited to
take a neat and ride over the crossing it
being pointed out to him that he was too
late Inasmuch as the crossing had al-
ready been constructed.
The hearing of the case was not con-
cluded yesterday afternoon and was
postponed until tnts morning.
CHARACTER oF CROSSING.
The whole contention that seems to
exist between the railway company and
the street railway Is as to the character
of a crossing to be placed at this junc-
tion. At one time during the healing yester-
day afternoon It waa thought that an
agreement would be reached between ths
parties whereby the street railway would
he allowed to put in their crossing pro-
vided they put It In within a certain
specified time but this proposed settle-
ment did not go through and the hearing
was continued!
For a tinif Monday afternoon the ten-
slou between the employes of the respec-
tive companies was grent snd it looked
as though there would be serious trouble.
Borne of the employes of the railroad
company were threatening to place a
string of cars across the street to pre-
vent the Electric company from erecting;
the crossing. One of the employee of
the Electric company seated himself on
the track aud Informed the railway em-
ployes If the cars were run across the
Street that they would go over hla body.
This dM not deter the railway employes
from running the curs. The gentleman
who had seated himself on the track of
of course was forced to move. His Ire
was up and he proceeded to lock horns
with the leader of the gang of ths op-
posing company in the good old-fashioned
way. For a few seconds the fur
wits mnde to fly snd both participants
received a few scratches but they were
separated before anything serious trans-
pired. RESUMES LAW PRACTICE

VALUABLE PROPERTY
Recovered Would Not Be Tak-
en for a Criminal It Small
and Features Feminine.
City Detectives Murphy and Kessler
yesterday captured a young man who for
the past two Weeks it Is alleged had
kept ths officers of this city aad Gal-
veston oa ths Jump. Blnos October 1 In-
numerable 4ayllgbt burglaries bars been
committed tn the Third ward. Ths offi-
cers followed clew after clew finally
landing a small nejrb girl who was cap-
tured In Barlow residence on IdcKln-
ney avenue In the act of purloining a
valuable brooch. After this capture It
was concluded tliat the perpetrator of all
the burglaries had been cooped and the
officers went about the different pawn-
shops and second-hand stores gathering
up Jewelry that had boon taken.
While on one of these tours they ran
across a case where a couple of negro
men had pawned some stuff and connect-
ed them with some of the burglsrirs also
and were working on that theory tlunk-
Ing that they had ths sols perpetrator
sure.
Several days ago they got a line on a
young while man who had pawned some
Jewelry. Tbey chased ciwi In this city
and tn OalveMon. alt the while looking
for a hardened thief but without avail.
Monday they secured an accurate de-
scription of the young man and yester-
day Mr. Murphy while watching for him
in front of the Turf Exchange saw him
come up the street and dart Inside and
go to the lunch counter. The officer Im-
mediately nabbed him and took him to
the station. As soon as he was present-
ed with the proof of his guilt he broke
down and admitted to half a dossn bur-
glaries. WORKED GALVESTON.
Chief of Pottos Rowan aad Detective
Osorg Waters of Galveston were com-
municated with and they came up and
Interviewed the young man. and he admit-
ted to having otfmmitted a couple of
burglaries In Galveston. Ths Galveston
burglaries were committed In daylight
also.
The young man worked under three
names H. B. Goodman. H. Bonner and J.
H. Williams. He claims that his real
name Is Goodman and that he is known
as Al. It developed that on the same
date that burglaries wars committed In
this city that Goodman registered In Gal-
veston also that he registered In Hous-
ton on ths sams date that burglaries were
committed in Galveston. It is charged
that he committed ths burglaries bars
In time to catch the train to Galveston
and the reverse. Jewelry that was se-
cured In this dty was disposed of In
Galveston and Jewelry secured there was
disposed of here.
VALUABLE PROPERTY RECOVERED.
Moot of the property has been recov-
ered. It consists of Waterloo rings watch
fobs cuff buttons snd studs. Among; ths
lot thorn are many Jwels of value. It
Is estimated that something; In ths neigh
borhood of ITS worth of Jewelry was
taken from Galveston while the value
of that stolen In Houston will foot up $300
or M0. In addition to this money la
sums ranging mm as to sm was se-
cured In Houston.
The burglar bad no particular method
f operating. It has been shown that he
ould walk boldly up to a house and
line the door bell. If any one res pond
ed to the ling he would make sonw ex-
cuse for having rung ths bell and ask
If a certain party lived In ths neighbor-
hood. If ao one answered the bell he
would eoolly make an entrance by walk
ing to the .ear snd cutting tne screen
to enable him to raise the hook. He was
seen operating by neighbors to the
places where he urgiansea out he went
about his work so coolly and deliberately
that those who saw him thought he be-
longed on the place.
DOESN'T LOOK LtKE CRIMINAL.
Goodman Is about lv years of age and
rather small and spare built. He will
not weigh over 110 pounds. He has thin
features while his face la pate delicate
appearing and almost fsmiuuv. He
would never be taken for a criminal of
any character much less a burglar
looked upon by the oflcers as the most
hasardoua 01 ail ths ailiereiu lines or
thieve. He states that he la a painter
by trade and that Houston and Galves-
ton are the only places he ever operated
as a burglar. He came to Houston about
three week ago from Kerrvllle he states.
He went to Kerrvllle with his father from
Arkansas. After he left Kerrvllle. he
states his father returned to Fort
Smith. Ark.
The Galveston officers were very com
plimentary of the Houston officers for
their worn in naving suooesoea in cap-
turing the young man and securing; a
confession from htm.
Warrants were sworn out before Jus-
tice of the Peace McDonald yesterday aft-
ernoon in three cases against Goodman.
Two were for burglary and the other for
felony theft. Other affidavits will be
made against him here and three will be
made in Galveston.
NO MODIFICATIONS
IN QUARANTINE RESTRIC-
TIONS UNTIL FROST.
Health Authorities Can Not Set
the Date Since They Are
w Not Prophets.
Now that October 16. which was herald-
ed by many as the day for the raisin
of the quarantine against the feltate of
Louisiana has passed without any modi-
fication of quarantine restrictions those!
who cave credence to their reports are
beginning to ask again concerning the
date when the quarantine will be lifted.
Dr. Brumby stated yesterday thnt many
people are dally asking htm when the
Quarantine will be lifted. To these he Is
replying that he Is not a prophet nor
the son of a prophet and that as he has
been In Texas a long time he does not
attempt to make predictions on the
weather.
A few days since. Dr. Tabor stated that
he authorised anybody who heard It re-
ported that on such a day the quarantine
would be raised to contradict the state
ment on authority from the State health
officer.
"It Is wrong to tell people that by Oor
tobsr 14. or November 1. or any other
date the quarantine will be lifted." said
he. "when there Is not a man living that
can assert positively that such will be
tha ease. Hot until there Is frost over
Texas will any change be made. If you
hear of legations coming to me for the
parsoas of prevailing upon me to modify
restrictions you can just atata without

The complete emDtinees of the stomach

sult. Dr. W. T. Cathell says: "All ani-
mals except man eat before sleep and
there is no reason as Natare why man
should form the exception to the rule."
If people who are thin nervoua and
sleepless would take a light lunch of
bread and milk or oatmeal and cream and
at the same time take a safe barmleea
stomach remedy like Stuart's Dyspepsia

that thin nervous dyspeptic people can

HON. A. M. M FADDIN of Victoria

prsises of Dr. Oeorge R Tabor "I tell
you. gestlemen" said Colonel McFaddin
to a party of friends at the Rice last
evening. "Dr. Tabor deserves a great
deal of credit for the wood erf rj I fight
he has msde against yellow fever. 1 am
a great believer In ths State doing for
Itself and not Invoking Federal aid
when there Is work to be done. The
mate of Texas has a man at the head
of the health department who Is capable
of administering Its affairs. The next
legislature ought to tender htm a vote

two months ago thers were scores of
people who Just knew we were goi ng

Houston. They knew It and that waa
all there waa to It. At the time I stated
that I did not believe we would have the

Dr. Tabor and It now develops that I
Jknew my man.
K "In that connection' continued Colonel
