WOUNDED IN
KNIFE FIGHT
Victim Of Difficulty Between
Women al TeIICO Brought
10 Her Home Here
(From Thursdays Daily)

Nellie Shafer. also known as Marie
Hart lies at the nome OF her father
on Washington street, suffering from
dangerous knife wounds, and another
woman known here as Lee Rober-
son, or Robinson ,is lodging Off
GERS over the Panhandle and New
Mexico as the result OF a sangulnary
difficulty at Texico day before yes
terday. ls5llSgEa
The Shafer girl was brought here
on the evening train from TeGico
yesterday afternoon and was taken
at once to her fathers home here.
She has a number OF small knife
wounds about the head and body but
will probably recover.
Jealousy is given as the cause for
the start OF the fracss which ended
with the cutting. From the show
ing made the Robertson woman had
the advantage In weapons and she
made savage use OF her chances. Re
lore. the whole truth about tho fight
was learned by the officers at Tex
leo, she succeeded in getting away on
a train for Amarillo. 1t is thought
that she did not stop over here but
took another train for some other
place.
The victim Of the cutting has
lived In Amarillo for a number OF
years. Although she is a mere girl
OF IS or less, she has acquired a rep
utation which is decidedly discreR
table. She had been in Te1ico only
a short time.

Flowing Fountains for Schools.

The problem of furnishing drink
ing water in public schools has long
been a bone of contention among
boards OF education and school COM
missioners all over the country. 1t
is conceded that the use of cup or
glass is unsanitary and that germs
OF disease are often transmitted by
one pupil to others by this method.
Probably the best remedy is the flow
ing pedestal fountain, which practi-
cally eliminates the possibility of
transmission of germs in this way.
The water continually running dur
ing the hours when the pupils are
using 1t keeps the cup covered and
always clean. The lips only come
in contact with the running water
and do not touch the metal.--Popu-

To illustrate one OF the reform
functions of the press, here's a story
from the Catholic Standard:
"A flea hiding in the grass looking
for a victim, met another flea.
my gracious" exclaimed the first
flea, What makes you so red?"
"Sunburned," replied the second
flea, disgustedly. "some idiot clipped
the dog was summering on"
The press turns the sunlight of
publicity on the parasites Of society,
and the people do the rest.
With Panhandle hogs bringing
fancy prices at Fort Worth the PAN
handle farmer should realize the fact
that 1t pays to be a good "porker"
characterization Banner-Stock-
man.
That's the kind of game that the
Texas laws can't touch. That kind
OF a porker game is not a game of
chance-it's a cinch. And, by the
way, the Fort Worth market always
goes the limit when it comes to ante
ing up for the stakes. Give us more
porker games and we will always
have a flush kind of times.--Fort
Worth Record.

BOWMAN IS
A CANDIDATE
Panhandle Dick" is In Race
For Reelection 10 the
Legislature
(From Thursdays Dally)

II am in the race" stated ]. r,
Bowman this morning when asked
about his candidacy for the next leg
islsture. 81 know that matters have
been confused and that some OF my
statements may be misconstrued by
people who are not familiar with the
circumstances. But ] acted in all
sincerity and any confusion that my
candidacy may now make in the race
for representative is not the result
OF any intention on my part to resort
TO trickery or to shirk responsibility
Mr.. Bowman returned last night
from Mineral Wells where he has
been under the care OF physicians
Tor the past month for intestinal in
digestion and while he does not
look in condition for a strenuous
campaign, he states that he is much
improved in health and that few
days in the Panhandle will work
still greater improvement, His ply
stefan strongly advised his TAXI
rest all summer and IL was largely
on that account that he wrote some
of his friends here that he would
withdraw from the race for the leg
islature, The district, as he points
out, is so large that a campaign
which calls for work In all OF the
counties must necessarily make heavy
demands on the candidates time, fl
nances and energy. But when the
intimation reached here last week
that he was seriously considering a
withdrawal from the race, many of
his friends here took action at once
IN way that showed that they would
not accept a withdrawal and that
they would canvass the district for
him IL It vas necessary for him to
refrain from that kind OF work for
time. As result Of this
movement Bowman's name remains
on the official ballot and he is here
IN person to prosecute the campaign
for the office which big cons
uency wants him to fill

amount of $4,000 for a system and
will, as soon as the council satisfies
itself In regard to the type OF sys-
tenn and to the contractor, install a
complete system. Dalhart, the coun-
cilmen state, is favorably located for
the economical construction of the
system and will be able to put in a
plant which will cover practically
the entire town at a much smaller
cost proportionately than was pos
sible in Amarillo.
The visitors were well pleased with
the results of their trip here and aft
ell studying the working OF the plant
here and after consultation with
health officers and physicians in re-
gard to the results secured since the
inetallation OF the system, are more
than ever convinced that the move
now contemplated by Dalhart is one
of the best things that the city could
do. &.
All the councilmen are, OF course,
boosters for Dalhart and give enthu-
siastic reports of the substantial
progress which the north plains me-.
tropolis is making. Buildings now
under way there are of better class
and more extensive perhaps than the
cit yhas ever before seen.

"In the Trojan war a goddess es'
poused the cause OF Priam, She put
on armor, nice armor, and went out
TO fight, A young Greek thought
that II a goddess entered fight she
was willing to accept blow for blow.
She attacked the Greek and he threw
a spear, which wounded her in the
little finger. The goddess, though
she attempted to kill the Greek,
when she saw the blood trickling

bassy that Ambassador Creel will
arrive from Mexico next week. State
department officials believe that by
the time the ambassador reaches here
there will be nothing more than an
echo Of the conditions which for a
time appeared to be a cloud on the
Mexican horizon, Reports from
American Officers charged with the
enforcement OF the neutrality laws
show they acted promptly and with

Washington, Sept. 2O.-A widespread drouth prevailing in the west and mid de states extends over an extensive area, including Ohio. the middle and lower Missouri, and the middle and upper Mississippi valleys and in lesser degree throughout New England.

 Smoke from extensive fires burning and widely separated districts in the eastern portion of the United States and southern Canada has hidden that section beneath a murky pail. so heavy as practically to obscure the sun and through a wide area interfere seriously with transportation.
