stantly posted as to tho state of tho mar
ket Qticatlons its follows were then put
by tho committee t
1 Do you think that by having u cot
tonyard and overseeing tho snlo of their
cotton farmers would have any advantage
over the old methods of soiling to specu
lators
a Do you bellevo that by the cstab
llshment of aucluiynrd Fort Worlh would

Tho llrat four of these questions wero

Uut the lust question are you willing to

Tiik Oazfttf s readers will remem
ber au article In yesterdays Issue nar
rating tho alleged loss ot n roll contain
ing 810BO by a Mr OIn of Farkercbunty
It will bo remembered that tho money
was tho proceeds of forty head
of cattle which Oinsold to Messrs Stone
and Ootzandancrof thla city Gin did
not represent the cattle na his own prop
erty but claimed lo be acting for Lalug
Taeltltt of Wcathorford tho owners of
tho cattle Ho left Fort Worth Thma
day evening and did not as ho says mlsa
his money until In tho presence of Mr
Tackltt lu Wcathorford On reaching for
his pocketbonk to hand over tho money
It dlont materialize Then carh
the next morning ho and Tackltt came
back to Fort Worth and tho latter picked
up thu lost book on tho platform ot the
Union depot but lu It never a cent
Then some criminations and recrimina
tions occurred but nothing was done
till jeaterday when Mr Jas ralug of the
llrm mentioned above camo to the city to
seek legal advice whereby bo might got
bick the catllo that Gin sold or their
equivalent lu cash
Mr Iulng matto no bones of express
ing hla utter disbelief In GIna story aud
loudly raised tho cry of fraud In fact
be created qulto a little scene In a store
on thu square and a policeman thinking
there wus going to bo trouble Inter
fered to maintain tho peace Tlio
gentleman then brought suit for the value
of the call In and got out sequestration
papers which tho shoilff executed during
the d ty It Is understood that Mr Iaing
claims thai Gin waa not authorized to sell
ho cattle but waa only given charge of
them to pasture Gin on theotherlmud
accrtu that he bought thorn on a
credit and had a perfect right to sell
hem that his loss of tho money was a
misfortune but no cilmo Of course
Mestri Stone and Getzaudaner being In
nocent purchasers lining paid for thu
cattle In good faith dont pioposo to sur
render thu cattle without a contest ns
that would throw the loss of the 81050
upon them
It Is but just to Gin to
say that ho Is spoken ot by
hia neighbors as a squaro man aud
It la by no means lmprobablo that it was
an honest loss Still that will bo an ex
ceedingly dilllcult matter to over settle
satisfactorily since there Isnt ono chance
In u hundred that tho money will over
turn up The light will bo between
Lalng A Tackltt and Stone Gutnndauor
lu thu district court nnd tho whole ques
tion hinges upon thla Did Gin really
navouuthorlty to sell the cattle That
Is solely a matter of proof that n jury
will have to determine
AN lilt 1 OHIO DAY
OlIgllllVANCK or A CUSTOM that DAN UK
TIUCIUI HACK IOU ClNTUlliS
Tho date borno by this mornings Ga
zi ttk marks tho anniversary of a day
which without commemorating anv sin
gle great or noteworthy event so far as
Is positively known nevertheless has
managed from somo causo to retain u
llrm huld upon humanity Us place lu the
calendar ot memorable days seems pretty
well established although tho manner of
Its observant has of course grcutly
clmugetl wllh tho centuries that have lied
since the birth ot tho Institution
us OIIKUV
Thoro la a tradition that ascribes the
cejebratlou as having originated In honor
oi StValeutlnua a bishop who lost his
head A D 270 at tho time of tho Claud
Ian poiseditions at liomo Another
authority says that tho connection
of tho day with tho saint mentioned la
purely accidental There aro btlll
others who think that It waa handed
down to us from tho old llomana who
dining tho IuperCitlla which took
placo lit Fobrnary wero wont to put the
names of young women In a box and
hnvo tho jouugmen to oraw therefrom
each gottlng such a partner aa chance
might allot him Hut It Is
Inr moro probablo that thu
real origin of thu day comes
from a universal principle lu humanity
a sort of natiiit religion which sprunu
from it recognition of tho season as theu
tho birds aro said to mate and the whole
world awaits tho coming of tho truns

HOW TUKY USII > TO Do

maids and bachelors of their acquaint

a receptacle and theu draw them out like
a lottery each ot courso gettlug ono of
