NEW DISTRICT JUDGE NEEDED.
Efforts Being Made TO Have a New Court District
Established in the Panhandle Country.

For several years it has be-
come more and more apparent
that the present districts for the
District Courts of this portion of
the state were entirely too large
for speedy transaction of the
large amount of business which
appears upon the dockets of the
number of counties now compos-
ing the districts.
A meeting of the District
Judges and District Attorneys
of this Northwestern portion of
the state has been called to meet
in Amarillo on yesterday for the
purpose of taking steps towards
getting together on a concerted
plan and make an effort to get
the next session on the Legisla-
ture which meets in January to
adjust the matter.
The increasing business of the
courts in the Panhandle section
of the state makes it almost i'm
perative that some action along
this line be taken at once. The
matter has been generally dis
cussed among the attorneys
in the various dis
tricts surrounding our district,
the forty-seventh, and it is
thought that a new district
should be created consisting eof
Deaf Smith, Castro, Palmer,
Swisher, Briscoe and Randall.
This should leave the Forty-sev.
enth and the Sixty-third district
with comfortable amount Of
business still upon their dockets
and would give the counties nam
ed chance to get speedy action
upon their cases by giving them
longer terms in the respective
counties.

WILL TRY RAISING HOGS.
Farmer Near Canyon City viii Stock His Farm
With Swine-Thinks Hogs viii Make
Good Profit.

T. b. Slaughter who recently
moved to this county and has
bought and is now improving
four sections of land northwest
of the city on the Palo Duro was
in this city the first part of the
week. He and his son are oper-
ating the farm and ranch jointly
and in conversation with the
News reporter Mr.. Slaughter
stated that he had been watch.
ing the raising of hogs in this
country for a long time and he
had come to the conclusion that
there is nothing that can be rails
ed in this country with surer re-
suits and greater profit than the
swine.
Said he: This country al
ways raises a good crop of milo
maize and katfir corn and we con-
slider that it is almost as good if
not quite as good feed as Indian
corn. In order to show our con-
tidence in them as a feed we
have bought and now have stack
ed up on our farm the largest
amount of these feeds that will
be found at any one place on the
Plains. We are going to raise
hogs and are now trying to buy
hogs of almost any description
that we can get. OF course we
eventually want to raise nothing
but the very best stock of hogs
but we came here so late this
year that we are trying the aver
age grade. This country is
singularly free from all diseases
which infest the hogs in the
climates and we can
get good feed at very moderate
prices and therefore feel sure
that we are making a safe vent
ure as everyone here who has
tried to raise them has succeed
ed in getting a good margin of
profit at even lower prices than
those now prevailing"

Amarillo Business Men Hun.

Tuesday seemed to have been
a bad day for accidents to ANA
rillo people. That afternoon E.
L. Dahoney, w. D. Dahoney and
his brother, Alfred Dahoney of
Paris, Texas, Charles O. Wolhin
and a driver for the auto, in COM
ing up hill about twelve miles
west of Amarillo, happened to
an accident which resulted in
bruises for all the parties in the
machine while E. l.. Dahoney had
the misfortune of getting his leg
broken between the knee and
ankle.
From reports it seems that
when the car had nearly reached
the top of the hill the power
gave out and the car rushed
backwards down the hill finally
turning over into a deep ditch.
Mr.. Z. L. Dahoney jumped from
the car before it turned over and
sustained his injuries in the fall
which he received.
C. c. Loving, manager of the
Loving Printing Company, in as
SiSting about some heavy ma
chinery, had the misfortune of
having the tips of two Of his fin
gers on his left hand cut off on
account of a portion of the ma
chinery falling. He will not be
able to do much manual labor for
some time.
Other accidents of minor ma,
lures were reported for the day
and it wasn't Friday the 18th
either.
The Randall County news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1908-1926, 1908-12-11

work for some time. He sustain
ed a fracture of the cartilage of
the tenth rib on the right side,
right hand severely bruised and
skinned and his upper lip cut,
all of which combined makes a
very painful injury. So far as
we have heard he seems to have
been the most badly injured
passenger.
1t is a miracle that no more
people were not killed than were
and this was clearly shown when
the scene of the accident was
reached. The two engines were
literally smashed and ruined and
the wrecking gang tore them all
to pieces. The tender on the
north bound train was forced
back into the baggage and ex-
press car and the second coach
on that train telescopad the ba"k
end of the same baggage car.
The escape Of the express and
baggageman in this car was
wonderful. AS stated above the
mail car on the west bound train
was smashed and how the other
mail clerk got out without in
jury cannot be explained even by
himself except that he was in
the center of the car. The eX-
press car on this train was also
ruined and the wrecking crew in
clearing up the wreck burned
this car.
The three train men killed in
this wreck were popular with
the people all along the lines.
Barney Nelson being conductor
was possibly more widely known
and when news of the wreck
reached this city many people
heard that he was killed out
right and were glad when they
found out that the report was
untrue but when accurate re-
ports were had they knew that
it was only a question of hours
until the end would come for
him and there was sorrow among
his many friends.
All the injured were taken 20
Amarillo as soon as a relief train
could be had and placed in a
hospital for treatment. The body
of Engineer Maham was shipped
10 his home in Ohio while that of
Mail Clerk Smith was taken to
Commerce for interment. Both
Maham and Smith leave a wife
and one child. The arrange
ments for the funeral of Barney
Nelson had not been made up to
yesterday morning but it is
thought that he will be buried in
the cemetery at Amarillo. !
