BIG BARBECUE AT
The HILL PLACE

A hundred and fifty or more
"neighboring people" enjoyed the
hospitality of f. NJ. Hill on his Anna
rillo creek ranch eight miles west of
Amarillo yesterday. Nearly all the
families Of the community west of
town joined in the picnic and many
people were out from Amarillo for
the good time.
For the barbecue, Mr.. Hill had
provided two fat and tender yearl-
ings which had been roasted with
proper dressing over the fire till the
meat at dinner time was the perfec-
ton of delicious barbecued beef In
addition to the meat, an abundance
OF bread, pickles and coffee had
been provided and every family that
attended brought big contributions
in their we'll filled lunch baskets.
Naturally the dinner was big sue
cess.
After dinner Senator Veale gave
short address. He had the closest
attention OF his hearers throughout
and as the gathering was informal,
Mr.. Veale made his address more a
conversational account of the needs
OF this section and OF work at Aus
tin. He received frequent and hearty
applause.

Tonight the building committee of
the Elks is preparing to take up in
detail plans for building and this
afternoon a special effort is being
made to get large attendance OF

First payments on the subscrip-
tons made for the building are now
coming due and the treasurer Of the
lodge, Frank B. Salter, is record
ing steadily growing fund, Most
of the subscriptions are subject to
draft whenever the committee au-
thorizes the expediture of the money.
Bonds in the sum of 500 each will
be issued for each 800 subscribed
and these bonds guarantee an annual
return Of per cent till payment
which is to be within fifteen years.
Payment of the bonds will be made
in the order of issuance, About 100

lodge, enough to secure the building
but the committee expects TO add a
number OF other subscribers In the
next few weeks and before the com

Editor Has Located the Melons.

Edtor Has Located the Melons,
The editor OF the Hereford Brand
has located all the melon patches in
the vicinity OF that city and has even
gone to the length of counting the
melons in some of the patches. II
his subscribers are property appre-
ciative of the notices OF thanks the
editor intends giving for appropriate
offerings, such exact knowledge may
not be used, but 1t Is probably we'll
to have all the data at hand anyhow
in case of need for resort to more
effective methods. The Brand says;
'"The feast Of melons will soon be
on hand in Hereford. Nearly every
garden in the city has from a dozen
to a hundred smiling melons on the
vines. In one yard, there has been
counted over hundred melons and
these on sod land. The Juicy can
taloupe will come in for q good part
of the source OF enjoyment to the
feasters. A number OF good melons
have already gone the way OF all
good things and many more are
awaiting their time. When they go
plank, plank, pass them by; but
when they go PUNK, PUNK, and the
curl is dead, they are ready for the
feast"

NIGER SLUGGER
GETS THE LIMIT
(From Saturdays Daily.)

The jury in the case against Will
Boyd this morning in Justice Hol-
mans court, charging assault and
battery on the person of John Sha-
fer, colored porter on the Pecos
Valley lines, found the defendant
guilty and fixed his penalty at the
highest figure allowed under the law
$25 and costs.
According to Shafer's story, he
and companion, also colored, were
walkin along the sidewalk on the
Bowery on the 18th of August, when
the defendant Boyd whom neither
of them knew, stepped up, slugged
Shafer in the face with his fist and
threatened him further violence If
Shafer and all other negroes did not
get out of town at once. Skaters
story was substantiated by his COM
panion who was in court this morn
ing.
Boyd, however, fatty denied the
whole story and when the complaint
was first filed refused to plead gull
ty and demanded jury trial. Boyd
in his testimony denied the allega-
tons of the negroes and said that
his account of the affair would be
supported by the testimony of man
who was with him on that day. The
man in question is sick at his home
OF typhoid fever, SO by agreement
the court instructed the jury to con-
consider that the testimony of the
man would have been what Boyd
said it would be. Boyd denied being
drunk on that day but admitted
having few drinks of various
liquors.
The jury plainly placed little Gre
dence in Boyd's denial Of the as
sault and battery. After a short de-
liberation they returned a verdict of
guilty and gave the defendant the
maximum penalty which will amount
to something over $40.

(From Thursdays Daily)


Z Without warning and apparently
in the midst OF the most Astounding
health, this afternoon, John O'Don-
nell, freight engineer on the Santa
Fe with headquarters here, sank
gaspng for breath TO the sidewalk
on Lincoln street near the station
and In a few minutes was dead. His
companion G, G, Issom also an engin-
err, who had just eaten dinner with
him in the Saddle Rock restaurant
dropped to his knees and lifted the
mans head, but O'Donnell had lost
consciousness and made no response
In few minutes passersby crowded
around and then the man, still
breathing family was carried into
the baggage room the union station.
Dr.. Patton had been summoned
as soon as o'Donnel's condition was
discovered and he went at once from
his down town office to the station
Although efforts had been made in
the meantime to revive ODonnell,
signs OF life had rapidly disappeared
and the doctor on examination, pro-
nounced the man dead Heart weak

o'Donnell had been running an
engine into Amarillo for about a
year but had no fixed connection
here. His home is in Kansas and a
few weeks ago he took layoff to
visit his people there. His watch
inspection card shows Topeka
stamp and in his possession this aft
.ernoon were several letters from
Beatrice, Neb.
He was a young man OF normal
habits and robust appearance. So
far as his companions could remem-

tainly not expecting such a thing
this afternoon, In company with G.
G. Issom, he had eaten dinner in a
leisurely way at the Saddle Rock
restaurant. He was a regular pat
ron OF the restaurant and was popu-

usual jovial words for the cashier,
he and Issom left the restaurant to
go to the station. He had gone hard
ly a block when the seizure struck
him down.
O'Donnell was a member Of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen
and that organization will care for
the remains till word can be received
from o'Donnell's people.

MANY HEARD
SOB|ESKI
Great American Citizen Teaches
Patriotism From Stories Of
Of a MOmentOuS Life

a fIne tonic in patriotism was the
message that Colonel John Sobieski
brought to his hearers in the Chau-
tauqua meeting at the Lyric Satur-
day night and in the big public meet
ing which the management of the
Chautaqua arranged for Sunday aft
ernoon.
"Count" Sobiesh's Title.
For most Americans who have
grown up in the full enjoyment Of
all the rights of free and progress
sive republic, the graphic account OF
life under other conditions gives
new and finer meaning to the title
which Count Sobieskl, now John So
bieski, claims, "a higher and a bet
ter title" the speaker eloquently de-
scribed it at the beginning OF his lee
ture, "than any that my lineage be-
slows upon me, higher and nobler
than any that my ancestors ever bore
or ever hoped to bear, is that title
which / have proudly borne for fifty
two years, the title of an American
citizen"
Fugitives from Poland.
Saturday night at the Lyric, the
speaker gave an account of his early
life, of his memories of the end Of
Polish independence, of the execution
OF his father, John Sobieski, the last
king of Poland, OF his flight with
his mother to italy and of their sub
sequent Punishment from that coun-
try at the instlgation of Arch Duke
Macmillan of Austria, then ruler OF
italy. Then followed the story of
the arrival of the boy and his mother
in America, and the enlistment of
Sobieski as young man in the army
of the republic of Mexico to fight
against Macmillan, the usurper.
