JUDGE SEABURY PRESIDES
OVER COUNTY COURT
Hon. F. W. Seabury, the well
known Brownsville lawyer, was elect
ed special county judge by the
Brownsville bar yesterday morning,
>ro serve during the absence of Coun
ty Judge John Bartlett, who has
gone to Austin. Mr. Seabury at once
took the oath of office, and proceeded
to call the docket.
It is probable that no cases will be
tried except upon agreement by the
interested lawyers. Judge Bartlett
is expected to return by Monday.
‘‘A Horse on Him.”
It is said that “seeing is believ
ing,” but one man in Brownsville
yesterday questioned the truth of
this ancient saw, unril he rubbed his
eyes and took a second look. He
drove up in front of a business es
tablishment on Elizabeth street, and
left his horse and buggy standing
next the curbing. When a cayuse
siticks his head down in the vicinity
of his forelegs, it is conc^ed that he
is quite likely to stand unhitched as
hitched.
The gentleman went into the busi
ness house, attended to his affairs
and came out—just as many anothdt
man has done in times gone by. How
ever, here is where tie similarity
ended.
The horse and buggy were both
there, the horse with a bang-dog ap
pearance about him that seemed to
indicate he had not changed position
since the time the American soldiers
built the pontoon bridge across the
Rio Grande.
The horse was there, all righf.
The gentlemen helieved that part of
what his eyes told him. But things
otherwise seemingly were not as
they should be, for the horse's head
was where his tail should have been,
in relation to the buggy, and the
tail wTas where the head should have
been.
The gentleman, without asking
the equine any questions, quietly
backed him out Trom 'the shafts,
right-about-faced him, hitched up
and drove aw^ay, and all with never
a w'ord.
It is reported that there wa
snickering in the neighborhood, but
careful investigation could not
verify the report.
