(From Thursday's Dally Panhandle.) The Santa Fe trwfflc department Is again swamped with the rush of hoineseikers on tho regular semi monthly excursions. Yesterday the regular train ran In two sections nnd today five sections r.re required to haul tho honieseekera into- the. country. Most of these hnmoseckers flop at points In tho Panhandle. A large number go to Texleo and the towns Just over tho line and a compara tively small part of them now are going on Into tho Pecos Valley. While the Santa l'o Is hauling the bulk of the excursion rush Into the .uihaiidle, it has by no means a mo nopoly on the business. Every train over the Deliver biin.es in prospect ors from the south and east. Miui.v more roi.ie in over tiio Rock Island through Oklahoma. Often, however, (lonit seekers change trains here and go Into the counties cast over the Kock Island.

Owing to the largo seat ing capacity of the tent, which Is two thousand, the company Is enabled to snow for ihe extremely low price of " and 3T cents thus guaranteeing the largest Minstrel production in the world at the lowest prlco of admis sion.

L. C. Durret. returned . yesterday onirVetnou .wivcro he won'th' eelc- iirr.ted land case of - Joseph Schmidt asalnst various claimants. ThU case has been in litigation for twenty yenrs and involved the ownership of tl0.ontuicres in the town of VcVnon. Over tventy years n.io, when the Fort Worth ft; Denver wa pushing out across the pralrlo, and Vernon was in; tho hey-day of her 'early glory,, Joseph Schmidt was a big figure in the life of the prosperous frontier town. He owned a big ho tel, owned most of a bank, and pro moted a street car line. In the same town, a merchant numed Ilyars bought goods from P. j; Willis & Pros, at Galveston. Kvil days came, upon tho town and Ily ars saw that he was going to lose his business. To wave property from tho wrecks, he began deeding it out of. his name. To friend named Mor rison, h. deeded a choice quarter section on the edge of town. True to bis expectations, tho. crash cams and Willis &. Urod. levied on ihh property.-. They refused to rccognl..' the transferral to Morrison and got execution on the quarter, section. Schmidt bought it. This wns lu 18S4 Ilyars' failure was only a part ot the general collapse which carried Schmidt down along with tho rest. Kver since that, Joseph Schmidt has been a poor man, dependent .0:1 daily toll for a living. Hut through all this time, in spite of bitterly ! con - tested litigation, lie has held "hi" el'thns to the land. For the last few years ho "has lived on the land and farmed it. , ' . , .
