Henry Clark of Arlington pled guilty to breaking into Petty Hallam Co. and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The penitentiary agents arrived Wednesday night and took him this morning. A notable civil suit, W. E. Affleet & Co. v. S W. Lane, ended in a hung jury after days of trial over sixteen bales of cotton lost in yards. The defense claimed there is no county weigher office, causing bond releases and private weighers to emerge, likely flooding Graham with weighers. Grand jury filed seven bills, two felonies and five misdemeanors. Annie W. Harper won $600 from Rock Island railway for injuries from a winter trip without heat in a car aboard Graham to Fort Worth.
