Efforts 10 be Made 10 Have a
New Federal District For
the Panhandle.
STEPHENS IN The CITY
Congressman Here for the Purpose Of Con.
suIiIRg With The People In Regard
10 His PrOlOsed Bill.

There have been efforts made to
induce the representative from this
district at Washington to frame a
bill in congress that has for It's
object the creation Of new federal
court district in the Panhandle and
the erection OF new federal
building In Amarillo. Two vars
ago a committee, made up OF some
OF the most prominent men in this
city, were sent to Fort Worth to
confer with the congressional com
mitteomen and to place before that
body for consideration. what Am
arlllo considered her Just rights to
federal court.
However, after several days
"closeting" the request was turned
down as at that time the number
OF cases summoned before the feder
al court at Fort Worth from the
Panhandle was not considered suf
ficlent evidence that the creation of
new district for the federal court
In the Panhandle was necessary.
One OK the chief obstacles In the
way Of tho project at this time was
the fact that new district had Just
been created at San Angelo and II
his could have been over ruled,
would have made things easier for
the demands of our representatives.
Conditions In the Panhandle
have changed wonderfully in two
years, our population has increased
at rapid rate and consequently
the federal court docket shows an
increase IN cases from the
Panhandle country and our demands
now are adequate to the require
ments Of The congressional commit
Ice and with the able assistance and
cooperation of representative cit
zens our demands are to be given
rens our demands are to be given
; hearing before the Fifty third
congress in December. A bill will
DO introduced in the mouse by
Representative Stevens for the crea
ion of the new district and Amarillo
has an excellent opportunity Of
giving herself prominence by getting
busy. What We must DO and do
his with tho least delay possible,
5 to call mass meeting Of our
eading citizens, members OF the
Commercial club, for the purpose of
appointing a committee to cooperate
With Congressman stevens and show
hat gentleman that We are in the
harness. working for the passage Of

The Rowland murder is one Of the

were supposed to be the best of
and the two men were considered to
be especially chummy. There had
been no hint Of trouble, so far as the
public knew. Dull kept q general mer-
chandise store One morning Rowland
came into the store, and called Dull
back into a rear room where feed and
hay were kept A few minutes later
a couple OF pistol shots were heard in
the room A clerk rushed out there
and found the dead body OF DR.. Row
land When the clerk came back in
the store he found Dull sitting at h-s
desk. posting up his books He told
Dull that Rowland was dead in the

Dull claims that he has no idea
who shot Rowland, but the jury con-
victed him on CirCumstantiaI evil
