NOTABLE EVENT AT OLD DRAWERS
Celebration of The 2OOIh Anniversary OF The
Church On Sunday Before Large Crowd

Celebration OF tbe ZOOln Anniversary " i"s
Church On Sunday Before Large Crowd
With appropriate exercises the
2OOth anniversary of Old Drawers
Presbyterian Church near Odessa was
celebrated Sunday, June Z. The wealth
was ideal and a large number availed
themselves of the opportunity of
being present. A number from
Smyrna and immediate vicinity spent
the day there. A feature of the
exercises was an historic address by
former United States Senator
Anthony Higgins in the afternoon.
In the morning a sermon was
preached by Rev. George Henry
Wales of Philadelphia. Because of
the anniversary observance all the
Presbyterian Churches in the vicinity
of Odessa closed, their congregations
helping to swell the throng doing
honor to the mother church. The
activities connected with Old Draw
yer's began about 1911. Several
persons of the Presbyterian belief
settling in the vicinity of its site,
before many years had elapsed, the
matter of establishing a parmanent
house of worship was discussed,
taking definite form in 1858, at
which time a congregation of con-
siderable size was gathered together
by Rev. Nathaniel Taylor. AS a
direct result of his efforts Rev. John
Wilson, of New Castle was directed
by the presbytery to preach there
once a month on a week day. This
he did, and in I'LL the first church
building was erected on lands pur-
chased from one John Peterson, the
building being constructed of wood.
This church was the second church
organized in Ne Castle Country and
probably the second in the state.
The frame structure was enlarged
in 1736 and the adjacent burrying
gound was fenced in for the first time
ir 1897. From this congregation
three Presbyterian Churches have
had their oregin.

The largest of all mammals are not

elephant weighs about six tons. but the
largest whale reaches the immense

She proved to be a dandy rattail
mare,
But he made another trade, was that
with Mr.. Spearman,
No, remember now, it was Noble T.
Jerman,
And folks who knew him as a general
rule,
Never once, set him down for fool.
Don't know that either, thought he
was bursted,
But think. that Jerman, got badly
worsted,
Jerman wanted redress, and Jimmie
he kicked,
So they went to law about it, and
Jimmie got licked.
Just to make it handy, Jim we often
call him,
Though it often took, four horses to
haul him,
While other people thought well they
had done,
If they could always, be right sure
of one.
From which much pleasure he did
derive,
For he knew how and liked to drive,
Four horses when the same were fine,
And all his neighbors thus out shine.
He proved a successful candidate,
And went to Dover to serve his state,
Which of his worth must prove a
token,
Though all his laws may have been
broken.
And thus to prove, what we have
said,
That folks to him due honor paid,
Was a very peculiar means employed,
Which at the time, all hands enjoyed.
Mr.. VIM. Collins of stature small,
But we'll an favorably known to all,
And just as all his friends expected,
He like Spruance, had got elected.
Night after election, as it was said,
When every body else was home and

Some poor old fellow had got good

Was on his way home to look for his

Autumn night,
With joyous expressions of inward
delight,
For little Bill Collins, three cheers
we must give,
And for big Jim Spruance, as sure
as you live,
There is one little incident, which
expect,
That James himself will still recol-

That once he had, nice truant mule,
That tried his best, his owner tC
fool,
So in the darkness, of one Autumn
night,
He took an unexpected flight,
And wandering about six miles away
Proved himself to be astray.
And in the next mornings twiligh
hours,
We found mule, that was not ours
We looked him over and thereb,

A noble mule, both good and sound.
Instead of putting an ad. in tn

We cut very different caper,
Which would have been right as i

But put that mule right in the team

SHOOTING AT GRANITE REEF
Mexican Laborer Takes Shot at Dep
 uty Sheriff Saturday Evening

PHOENIX, May 6.-Deputy Sheriff Dorame, located at Granite Reef, came down from that place yesterday morn ing and swore out warrant for the arrest of Jose de I.e Luz Gonzales, a laborer employed at the Reef on the government works, who on Saturday while under the influence of liquor, took a shot at Deputy Sheriff Dorame.
 Saturday evening after the closing of the polls there, several Mexicans became intoxicated and Dorame noticed two of these who were particularly boisterous and approached them, telling them to disperse and go to their homes. Con gales, one of the men, went to his tent and. securing his revolver, stationed himself few paces outside of the tent and fired at the deputy, then retreatine back in the tent in company with sev' eral companions. The shot went wide of the mark, however, and Dorame was on the point of following the men, but was advised by bystanders to swear out a warrant instead and make tho arrest later, after the men had sobered up, as any attempt to arrest them al that time might result in bloodshed Acting upon this advice Deputy Sherifi Dorame came down and secured tho warrant.

.UNFEEL|NG THIEVES
 STEAL TR0USSEAU
TAKE TRUNK CONTAINING PRES ENrs AND WEDDING Toas or MISS aRIaas AT TUCSON.

That thieves are no respectors of per sons and have no feelings at all is proven conclusively, from the report made at police headquarters of the theft of trunk from the porch of a residence at Fifth avenue and Seventeenth street, says the Tucson Citizen.
 Mis- Ethel Griggs, who is one of the popular young ladies of Tucson, resides there. She owned the trunk and in i6 she had her wedding rousseau and a number of presents which had been given her.
 Tomorrow evening Miss Griggs is to be welded to William Goetz, county surveyor. She had placed a number of presents received in advance and her wedding rousseau in the trunk and had set it on a rear porch, little dream ing that thieves would be so unkind as to come along and make away with the trunk.
 But the robbers unfeelingly happened along and stole the fine trousseau which Miss Griggs had had specially made in anticipation of her wedding The theft of the trunk has been re- porte dto the police and they are at work on the case, but thus far no trace has been found of the robbers who stole the rousseau and the wedding fnery.

TUCSON GETS CHEAPER RATES

A novel way of locating the devil around the bush' has been found Tn Tucson, says Tucson correspondent in the Los Angeles Times of April 27, where, to avoid the high freight rates to the city on certain classes of mer- chandise, it has been found expedient and much cheaper to ship the goods to Guaymas, Sonora, seaport, whence it is returned to Nogales on the bor' der, through which it has passed on it's way to tidewater. Then, despite the presence of q ,railtoad between Nogales and Tucson and the running of daily passenger and freight trains, the merchandise is sent from Nogales to Tucson by team. The railroad rate between Nogales and Tucson is 7s cents per cental, while the haul, by wagon is about 36 cents, for seventy-five miles Yet Tucson has cheaper railroad freight rates than many other Arizona eities.

BROUGHT BACK TO PHOENIX
 BY SHERIFF CARL HAYDEN

J. l.. Mcdowell, former cashier of the Union Bank & Trust company, was brought back to Phoenix Sunday by Sheriff Carl Hayden, who had gone to Calexieo after him. What arrangements he succeeded in making at Los Angeles are not known. He thought when taken into custody that he might be able to raise money there which would square him with the bank and at his urgent request the sheriff accompanied him from Fl Centro to the coast. Mcdowell is bearing his trouble well, at least out wardly. He will probably be taken be- fore Justice Johnstone for arraignment In the meantime he is an occupant of the women s cell at the county jail.

FINE RECORDS BY
 ARIZONA RANGERS

Captain Harry Wheeler rangers have been rounding up horse thieves in effective style within the past ten days, says the Citizen. The detail stationed up at Flagstaff made record this week. They captured two horse thieves after a hard l5O-mile race. The thieves had with them four horses stolen from the 0. R. ranch and two saddles. Within twenty four hours after their capture the horse thieves had been convicted in court at Flagstaff and given five years in the penitentiary One of the thieves is named Davney. The Flagstaff detail of rangers is in charge of Lieutenant Olds. There are four men stationed there. They have been doing most eff feetive work in the northern portion of the territory.
 Ranger McAdee on Wednesday caught a horse thief at Benson with two horses. He is a Mexican. Yesterday the theft of a horse from Pierce was reported. The animal is bay branded J. c. with an anchor. Word has been sent out in this section of the territory to be on the lookout for the horse.
 Early in the week two soldiers dis appeared from Fort Huachuca, taking their horses with them. They have not been reported since they left the fort. The supposition is that they rode over the international line and sold the horses or will attempt to thus dispose of them.
