AFTER nc TRACT ot LAND.
Braxo~ Valley Negotiating for Prop
erty In Fort Worth.

IL can be authoritstiFely stated
tha, the Trinity and Brazos Valley
road IL now negotiating for the pur-
chase OF large tract of land near
this city. Beyond this mere state
ment nothing official can be learned.
Inasmuch as the Trinity and Brazos
Valley road has announced and af-
firmed the announcement time after
time that IL will use the terminals
of the Denver road here. the natural
inference la that the land is wanted
for the erection of railroad shops.
Recently the Trinity and Brazos
Valley let contract for the erection
Of railroad shops at league in Lime
stone county That this road viii
handle tonnage enough to justify
the maintenance of two shops is a
matter of conjecture. That the land
the road is after is ideally suited for
the building of shops, however, Is
one thing that indicates that per
haps the decision to locate all the
shops AT league has been materially
changed
1t is perfectly natural that the
Trinity and BraZos Valley should de-
sire shops at the same place as is
located the headquarters of the road,
and the three years lease on the
Reynold building made a few days
ago by he vice president indicates
that the headquarters of the road
are here for keeps. Fort Worth

kEtp~ ORDER WITH \ PADDLE


Atlanta Ca July 2o-A unique
method of preserving order and rid
ding whitehall street OF the noisy

adopted by Policeman Berry, who

firecrackers and make other Fourth

early In the day Policeman Berry
realized that he had a job on his
hands and ne sought plan by which
he hoped to most effectively rid the
street OF the disturbance
Finally, bright idea fitted into
his brain Going TO a fireworks
stand, he procured a piece OF board
and converted It into a heafty look

this new weapon Of police warfare
he started out on a crusade.
Welding the paddle. the officer in
formed the small boys what they
might expect If they shot any fire

had more effect than a threat TO ar

and they fled, 1t was necessary for
the officer to touch up only one or
two of the little fellows lightly to
impress on them the meaning of his
threat
The paddle crusade worked so
