RICHMOND TAKEN
BACK TO PARIS
(From Tuesdays Dally.)

This morning ON the $3.50 train
for the south, Sheriff Hughes left in
charge of A. e. Richmond, the man
captured Saturday at Shamrock. At
Fort Worth Superintendent Taft will
meet the sheriff and will still further
complete the Identification Of the
man. He will then be taken to Paris
and lodged in the Lamar county Jail
to await trial for the theft.
q Although Richmond, or Brown"
as he called himself, steadfastly re-
fused to admit that he was the man
wanted at Paris, there Is no doubt
that he is the man. Officers in Pa
MS and in that vicinity have been
on hthe lookout for Richmond so
long and have followed $50 many
promising trails that they we're in
,clined to doubt the capture OF the
right man here and r. Il. l.. Mont
geometry, the Wells Fargo agent who
came here from Paris to see the
prisoner, bet cigars for the force in
the office OF the Wells-Fargo com
pany here yesterday morning that
the man captured by the Potter coun-
~ officers was not Richmond. But a
short time later after he had visited
the Jail he came back and bought the
cigars without protest
It seems that Richmond had about
completed arrangements for leaving
the Shamrock country. His ranch
which he, purchased last fall, he has
been offering lately for less than
he gave for it. So It is possible that

MEXICO GOVERNOR
ON LIQUOR PROBLEM

Chihuahua, Mexico, Feb. 25.--
Governor Creel says that as soon as
pressing matters are disposed of he
may take up the solution of the IL
quor problem along lines of the Co
thenburg system, as proposed by
him when acting governor two years
ago. In brief this comprises a quasi
philanthropio corporation to take ov-
er one by one, as rapidly as possible,
the saloons OF the state, close many
OF them and conficate others under
state legislation, and introduce such
measures as will conduce to temper
ance and morality. The Profles
company, It is proposed, will be lin
tied to per cent on capital invest
ed, all above that sum being devot-
ed to the service OF some other cause.

The student volunteer movement was
cited az an example of what our

CHnDREss APPLIES FOR LODGE
Chances Are Good for Granting Chap
ter This Year.
(From Tuesdays DallyJ

|
Childress, the latest applicant for
charter for an Elks' lodge, is said
by several men who visit the town
occasionally to have excellent chance
for getting a charter this Year. The
organization Of men at Childress
which is seeking the charter has
plans for starting the lodge in good
circumstances and with enough ma
terial to give it strong membership.
Childress, according to census just
taken, has something over the 8, 900
population which is the minimum
for cities seeking Elk lodges.
Childress is now within the do
main OF Amarillo lodge No. 923 of
ElRs and the organization OF a lodge
there would mean the loss of several
members from the local lodge and
would also mean the cutting down of
this lodges territory. This fact and
the nearness OF the "baby lodge" at
Wichita Falls is given as an argu-
ment against the institution of a
lodge at Childress till the other
lodges in this territory are more
firmly established, 1t is also argued
that new and active lodge at Chill
dress as well as at Wichita Falls win
SO increase the strength and influence
Of the order in the Panhandle that
the result will be mutually benefit
cial. Several Amarillo Elks, espe-
cially L. B. Simmons and ]. Ike Ken
drick, who often visit Childress, are
warm supporters OF the plan for a
lodge at Chlldress. District Deputy
7. ]. Darling OF Temple, made an Of
ficial visit to Childress last week but
his report, on which the granting
or refusing OF the charter will de-
pend, has not yet been made public.

Colonel II. T. Groom is hard at

organization TO be made up exclu-
sively Of those citizens who we're
born in the state which raises blue
grass, tobacco, and sometimes other

get together and perfect an organi-
cation.
Just what the organization will do
when It gets together has not yet
been decided but 1t is foreordained
that it will have a good time. A
banquet is one OF the affairs sug-
gested for the next few weeks, and a
big barbecue and picnic OF all ex-
Kentuckians in the Panhandle at
some suitable place next summer Is
another project that has met with ap-

freight moving In the direction that
the livestock goes when the cattle
shipping season Is on. Last season
the entire road from New Mexico to
Wellington was undergoing recon
struction, over which seventy per
cent of new heavy rail was laid and
the, entire grade worked over to con-
form to a basis of siX-tenths per cent
which now obtains from Chicago to
California over the santa Fe system.
These improvements interfered with
the time service and movement OF
trains, but ! repeat that with this
exception the time service over the
road ranged from fifteen 20 twenty
four miles an hour and never av-
eraged as low as fifteen, and two
years ago averaged throughout the
season nineteen and one-half miles
an hour.
Double Use OF Cars Is Right.
In reference to the loading OF
freight other than cattle In stock
cars, | will say that the sending OF
ties and other construction material
in stock cars was a godsend to tho
cattle shipper OF the Panhandle
country. over ten cars a day or up
wards OF 1000 of the 5000 cars
loaded with cattle on long hauls In
September, October and November
from this country were such cars,
thus enabling the railroad company
to handle 20 per cent more cars than
would have been otherwise possible,
which just in that proportion re-
bounded to the benefit OF the ship
pers and the country in general"

which must certainly stand for j.
Winford Hunt, who was once a news
paper man but who is now In the
path OF righteousness as a Methodist
minister, contributor gives an en-.
tertaining account in the Charming
Courier last week in the main as
follows:
The gospel rangers of the Claren.
don district held a roundup at Clar-
endon Wednesday and Thursday,
February ~ and 10, and discussed
the great problem of roping and
branding the spiritual mavericks on
the China and Japan ranges'and scat
tered la.ap7 sNaTendon to Thurber
and the uttermOst parts OF the earth.
Presiding Elder j. G. Miller, the
great Methodist range boss for the
Panhandle, kept the boys busy from
the moment the festive herd was shut
in the Clarendon pen, until Bro, Fer
guson, head roper, being an expert
with the gospel lasso, especially
when there is a Methodist hondo
in 1t, threw open the ate and turned
us loose on the range until the reg
ular district roundup at Memphis,
May IA, 1908.
j. w. Hunt, an old hand on the
Charming division was elected horse
wrangler which in effete eastern
parlance is secretary, and now, Mr.
Editor, to drop into language suited
to the limited knowledge of the uni
versity centers, the conference was
opened with song and prayer and
scripture reading, followed by an adj
dress by Bro. Miller on the great
growth and progress OF the work in
the Clarendon district, during the
past fourteen months. Among many
interesting facts presented, the fol-
lowing are worthy OF note. From
five stations we advanced to seven,
several missions have been raised to
the sublime degree OF circuits, the
number of charges has grown from
eighteen to twenty-one and preach
ers' salaries have been advanced in
the aggregate $500.
Rev. c. N N. Ferguson, whom the
Amarillo people, having heard all the
big preachers at the late conference,
solemnIy aver is the greatest preach
er in the Northwest Texas conference
(Which is of course equivalent to the |
greatest in the state) made the ti.st |
address on the regular program, and
nearly all the others except the ones
that Bro. Lewis of Dalhart, made, |
