LANDLADY APPEALS TO
ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
Gould Let Her Rooms to Others and
Pay Her Way If Delinquent
Tenant Could Be
Elected

A complaint of peculiar nature was
made to Assistant Prosecuting Attor-
ney Eddie yesterday by the Associated
Charities in behalf of Mrs. Annie War
ner of 2918 Walton street.
1t seems that some months ago Mrs.
Warner rented a portion of her home
to John Reeves. She is dependent upon
the money received for renting the
rooms of her home for her livelihood
When his rent became due Reeves
failed to pay and. put the woman off
until next month. He stayed several
months and still continued to defer
payment until the woman became with
out funds and appealed to the Asso-
ciated Charities for aid, stating her case
to the officers of that organization.
She told them, it is understood, that she
was unable to eject Reeves, although
she could rent her rooms to others and
so obtain money with which to pur-
chase the necessaries of life.
The matter was taken up by the AS
sociated Charities and the Legal Aid
society. The case will be investigated
and the facts made known to Mr.. Eddie.

Petitions Circulated Asking Court to Order an
Election to Build New Temple Of Justice.

Monday afternoon several pc
titions were circulated asking
the Commissioners court of Deal
Smith county to order an cleo
ton for the issuance of bonds
for the purpose of erecting a new
house for the county. The
amount called for is Seventy.
Five Thousand Dollars. Nearly
a hundred names were secured
in few hours, all signing with
pleasure and complete endorse
ment of the move.
The petitions are still to be
found at the business houses
where voters may have the OPP
portunity to sign. If you have
not signed drop in and do so. 1t
IS the purpose to secure as large
a number Of signers as possible.
II would speak well for the
county to see the name of every
qualified voter on the petition.
This matter comes up now
after lying dormant for several
months. a year or two ago the
matter Of a new court house was
discussed but the step was not
taken, because it was thought
best to wait until the county was
a little more thickly settled and
values increased. The panic
came on and made the sale of
bonds slow or even impossible.
But now that the prosperity
