Hogg Hires a Lawyer to Spie Upon LAND TITLES AT AUSTIN. Two Hundred Dollars Paid for tlie Information on the Sidings Suits Out of the Treasury-Ireland Re-fused to Conspire Against tlie Holders of tlie JLands, Whittinghill, Jones & Goodloe. The following is a sample of the manner in which Governor Hogg ob-tained the information upon which was based his famous Val Verde suits: Fort Worth, Nay 31.—Governor Hogg in his egotism has always claimed to have been the originator of the scheme to secure for the school fund one-half of the public domain, upon which proposition he went into court and was so egregious-ly and unmercifully beaten. Those who are acquainted with the gov-ernor’s peculiarly happy faculty of gracefully appropriating the ideas of other people ana foisting them upon the public as bis own will not be sur-prised to know that this school fund idea was notoriginated with him, but was purchased and paid for with the funds of the state. The man who first suggested the matter was L. D. Brooks of Austin, who brought the question to the at-tention of Attorney General Hogg. Mr. Brooks, previous to this inter-view, had issued circulars detailing the manner in which he proposed to secure the lands in question, suggest-ing that if successful he was to receive one-quarter of the aggregate amount thus secured in every county in the state. These circulars he forwarded to thejudges of ail the county courts and also to many prominent citizens in all parts of the state, but because of the difficulty of approximating to what extent the counties may be benefited, the scheme never material-ized. He afterwards laid the matter before the attorney general, as has been stated, and was more successful than with ex-Governor Ireland, who, when approached on the subject, re-fused peremptorially to have any-thing to do with it. In Governor Hogg, however, he found a ready 1 let-ener, and succeeded in presenting his case so rorcibiv as to enlist his active indorsement. * For the information thus given the attorney general, Brooks was paid $200 by warrant drawn upon the state treasury. This voucher, approved by Hogg, is on file at Austin, and a prominent attorney of this city, who formerly resided at the capitol, said today that Brooks told him that the money thus received was for the in-formation given Hogg, upon which he afterwards began his disastrous litigation. This same gentleman, whose veraci-ty cannot be impeached, also says that he had it from Brooks personally that the idea of the now famous sidings and switch prosecutions was first suggested by him to Governor Hogg, and that upon the suggestion thus given him the attorney generil drafted the law about which he is now rousing the people, and which he has always claimed the honor of having originated.

Denton, Tex , June 2.—Our quiet little chy was treated to rathera sensa tional episody last night. One John son, a piano tuner, who hails from Waco, and who enjoys the reputation, whether deserved or not, of being a “masher,” has. been traveling over this section of the state for a year or two, in the pursuit of his calling. He came to Denton several days ago, and was employed "by Mr. John Davidson to tune his wife’s piano. He went to Mr. Davidson’s residence, and when his day’s work was done returned to the Oatman house, where he was stop-ping, and after supper was engaged in a game of checkers with another guest, when Mr. Davidson suddenly appear-ed on the scene, armed with a cane or stick of some kind, and knocked Johnson off his chair and proceeded to administer a severe castigation, claiming as a reason for his action that Johnson had insulted Mrs. David-son.

A Negro Robs the Young Ladies’ Rooms at the Waeo Female Col-lege Last Night. A sneak thief entered some of the rooms at the Waco Female college during the entertainment last night and rifled the rooms ofjseveral of the young ladies. About $400 was stolen from Miss Narnie Harrison. Miss Lizzie Mae Moodie lost a watoh which had been presented to her by her father and was consequently highly prized. It was engraved “From Papa to Mae.” She also lost a gold medal whioh she had won at the college. It was engraved “W. T. C.” Officers Knott and Hall were called and arrested on suspioion, Henrietta Beltran, Celia Franklin and Kiehard Jones. The two women were released as nothing could be shown why they should be held. They still have Jones in custody They searched Henrietta Beltran’s room, but failed to find anything suspicious. The way the burglary came to be discovered was that two young ladies had been donning some costumes used in the entertainment and had left for the chapel when one returned for some forgotten article and found a negro man in the room. She screamed and ran before ehe recognized the man. Before help oould arrive the man had disappeared. The man, Richard Jones, had been empl« ed at the eollege only a few days and * when the theft was discovered he was not to be found and did not show himself for over a half hour. He failed to give a satisfactory account of his absenoe and he will be held ua^lBuan do so.
