ARRESTED TWICE;
NO CHARGE FILED
PROSECUTORS REFUSE TO
MAKE CASE
VENDORS OF LABOR PAPER ARE
RELEASED ON BONDS
When Taken Into Custody Near Regal
Theater Second Time, Newsboys
Are Refused Freedom on
Bail by Police

When D. Ventorla and Joe Schon, who
we're arrested twice Tuesday night by
Patrolmen La Niece and Gamash while
selling a labor publication near the
Regal theater on South Main street.
were taken into Police Judge Freder-
ickson's court to be arraigned upon
charges of disturbing the peace, the
two patrolmen entered the court room
and hesitatingly announced that they
were unable to obtain a complaint from
either the deputy district attorneys or
the city prosecuting attorneys, but the
attorneys had the matter under consld-
Grafton and probably would file COM
plant later.
On this showing Judge Frederickson
released the men under bail OF $25 eacn
and set the matter for this morning
when it is thought the accused Will be
discharged.
The men, it seems, were attempting to
sell their papers near the Regal the
ater and calling out the head lines OF
the leading stories of the publication
when they were seized roughly by Ca
mash and La Niece and hustled off to
the police station, where they were re-
leased under $25 bail each.
On being released, the men announced
their intention of returning to the scene
and selling their papers as before NO
sooner had they returned and begun
calling out their papers than they were
again arrested.
Patrolman La Niece, one of the ar
resting officers, gained unenviable no
toriety several months ago when While
investigating a case where a citizen
was held up and robbed by two high
waymen he arrested one of the robbers,
handcuffed him to post and left him
in the charge of the other robber and
pursued the victim for several blocks
before discovering his mistake. When
he returned to where he had left his
prisoner handcuffed he found a piece
of the handcuff hanging on the post
and the real robber and his pal gone
The men never were captured
Release on Bail Refused
When Ventorla and Schon were taken
to the station the second time Chief
Dishman was communicated with over
the telephone, and after being informed
of the circumstances ordered the men
locked up in Jail without benefit of ball,
although the accused had friends who
were willing to put up cash bail in any
amount.
When asked about the matter yester-
day Chief Dishman admitted he gave
the orders, and declared he would do
the same thing again under similar cir
Cumstances.
Did the patrolmen inform you of the
circumstances? the chief was asked.
"They did," he replied.
What did they state?"
"That does not matter. The men
were arrested a second time for the
same offense, and even If there was no
complaint issued against the accused,
I will stand by the arresting officers"
The deputy distrist attorneys and the
assistants In the office of the city pros
ecuting attorney emphatically declared
they would not issue any complaint
against the men, and stated that they
are guilty of no breach of the laws.

TABLE OF TEMPERATURES

panies have each submitted bids, and
as they all seemed to be about equal in
their operation the matter of price
will be a large consideration.
The council probably will not act
without the advice of City Electrician
Manahan and superintendent of Alarms
Frankhouser, as the technical details OF
the systems demonstrated are too diff
cult for a layman to grasp readily.
While the Gamewell system is in
stalled throughout the city the city
auditor has made objections to the
prices the Gamewell company charges
for its patents and has declared that a
service just as good could be secured
at a cheaper price. The new system
will not cover the entire city at first,
but will be used in the University dis
trict until it is determined whether it
is best to discard the Gamewell system.

Limb Was Deposited at
Cigar Stand

The mystery of the wooden leg
which was left at the cigar stand of
John Leuenberger, 319 South Main

yesterday when Sam Wilson, a one

police station and proved his right to
the aid to locomotion.
After Wilson had buckled on his leg
he told the officers he had left the
leg with the cigar man and later was
called unexpectedly to Bakersfield and
did not return until Monday.

NEW INSURANCE COMPANY FORMED.
Big Fire Insurance Corporation Expects to Begin
Business in Next Ten Days.

With temporary offices in the
Western National Bank building,
a 1000, 900 fire insurance com
pany is to Immediately begin
business in Fort Worth, the com
pany being owned and managed
almost exclusively by local peo-
pie. w. II. Eddleman, the well
known banker, will probably be
selected as president of the big
concern and the following are
named as incorporatorS in the
charter that was received Thurs
day morning from the secretary
of state at Austin: Mr.. Eddie
man, George f. Miller, Cicero
Smith. w. G.. Burton, II. d. Bre-
ward, d. NJ. Howard. w. p. Cas-
sell, joint. Gay andL. II. Lester.
The company will be known as
the international Fire Insurance
company and will be operated
with 100000 capital stock and a
similar amount in surplus.
License to do business in Texas
was issued along with the char
ter, the permit being granted by
the commissioner Of insurance,
and the new company is expect
ed to be writing policies within
the coming ten days.-Ft. Worth
Record.
l.. r. Lester mentioned in the
preceding article, is president
of the First National Bank of this
city and the organizers of this
new fire insurance company
sought him out on account of his
known financial ability as an ad-
wiser in the management of this
large business concern. Mr..
Lester is connected with a large
number of the banks in this sec
tion of the state and we doubt il
those who are at the head of the
organization of the new company
could have made better choice
in the entire state.

COAL VEIN IS FOUND.
Two Foot Of Fuel Found in Well Being Dug on
Randall County Farm May be Developed.

That there is fuel of good quail
ty in Randall county may be de
termined at at early date as ar
rangementS are being made for
investigation relative to coal
which is believed to underlay at
least a portion of the southeast
part of the county.
Recently in digging a well for
Henry Wesley on his place down
there the drillers struck a wen
of coal measuring three feet in
thickness. 1t was found at "a
depth of about 1870 feet and mas
much as there are OutcrOpplngS
of the fuel in the canyon which
is some distance from the well,
it is thought that the bed of coal
is of great dimensions. At least
indications of coal have been
found at IA number of places from
one to six miles away from the
place where the three foot vein
was found. On the McReynolds
place there are numerous out
groupings of coal and at other
places it has been picked up in
ravineS.
A test of coal taken from the
well mentioned has been made
and it is said that the quality is
very fine, especially so for the
useof blacksmithsin their forges.
The parties at the head of the
investigation have nothing at
present to give out for publlca-
ton, but it is likely that experts
will visit the field at an early date
10 determine the quality and eX-
tent of the bed and advise as to
the commercial value of the field.

will compare very favorably with
the exhibits held at the country

1t is well known that this country

proper interest is instilled

CATTLE AND HOGS PROFITABLE.
Randall County Citizens Sells Kaffr-fed Stock
at High Price on Kansas City Market.

T. b. Slaughter Il Son who
who have a ranch of four sec.
tions of land in this county
northwest of this city are eX-
ponents of the gospel of feeding
cattle and hogs on milo maize
and katfir corn. They have been
taught the lesson of experience
and know just that what kind of
feed will do.
Recently they shipped six cars
of cattle consisting of 1856 head
and one car containing 10 head
of hogs, to the Kansas City mar.
ketS and for the lot they were
paid the large sum of S9073. CO.
some of the cattle bringing as
500 per hundred pounds which
is considered to be very high for
Texas fed beef.
Mr.. Slaughter was in this city
since his return from the mar.
ketS and when accosted by the
News reporter stated that he
was entirely satisfied with the
results and that he and his son
expected to engage in the feed
ing of such stock to a greater
extent. He stated that he had
been feeding cattle for a number
of years and that while this was
his first experience with milo
maize and katfir corn he was
free to state that he thought the
equal if not superior to any other
kind of feed for that purpose.
They are already buying cattle
and hogs which they expect to
hold until next winter when they
will feed again.
These people own four sec
tions of land about l. miles
northwest of this city, located
along the peaceful Palo Duro
creek and they are rapidly de-
veloping it into an ideal stock
farm. They will plant 200 acres
of the valley land in alfalfa and
now have more than 400 acres
more in cultivation upon which
they are raising principally feed
crops this year.
They have a beautiful place
and they are men who have come
to stay as is evidenced by the
manner in which they are max
ing their substantial improve.
ments. They are practical
farmers as well as stockmen and
can therefore be depended upon
to secure the best results from
their labOrs.
AS to the class Of stock whicl
they shipped Mr.. Slaughter saic
that he had bought up most any
kind of stock that was available
on account of the fact it was ST
late before they decided to enteI
/ the feeding business and that hC
thought that if he had had time
to select just the stock that h'
desired he would have been able
to make of the shipment the
choicest lot of stock ever shipped
from Texas to the northern
markets.

COMMITTEE PLANS
FOR REUNION AND FAIR
CITIZENS COMMITTEE MEETS AND APPOINTS
CHAIRMEN FOR VARIOUS DEPAR RTMENTS.
Arrangements Call For Bigger and Better
Entertainment Than Ever Before
Given Here.

Active work on arrangements
/ for the reunion of the EX-Con-
| federateS of the Panhandle and
of the Stonewall Jackson Camp,
and the Randall county fair has
begun, the start being made last
Saturday when the central com
mittee met and discussed the
various apartments of the work.
The chairman. Judge A. \.
Henson appointed the chairman
of the various subcommittee,
the chairmen of these commit
tees having the right to appoint
their assistants, either from the
members of the central commit
tee or from the citizens of the
town.
The chairmen appointed were
as follows: Program, speakers
and advertising, l.. f. Cowling;
Privileges, George A. Brandon;
Subscriptions for expenses and
premiums. Claude n. Harrison;
Transportation, grounds, water
and ice, O. G.. Davis: Provisions,
w. +. Heller, John Rusk and f.
NJ. Lester: Live stock exhibits,
Travis Thaw; Farm exhibits, Il.
A. Terrill; Reception, Judge A.
n. Henson.
The date as heretofore an
nounced has been changed and
it will begin on Tuesday, August
9th, ending Thursday, August
%. Active steps have already
been taken for the purpose of
securing able and noted speak
erS and it is thought that at
least two good speakers will be
here for each day. Other inter-
eSting matters are to be added
to the program so that there will
be something of a free nature
doing all the time during each
day. At night there will be at
fractions on Tuesday and Wed
nesday nights which will bring
out everybody in town who can
possibly attend.
With reference to the pay at
fractions it was decided that it
would be stipulated in the CON
tracts that all eX-confederates
would be admitted to these paid
attractions at any time free of any
charge whatsoever, the endeavor
being made to have it fixed that
the old soldiers may be able to
attend all shows whenever they
want and without cost.
\ number of attractions have
already written asking about the
dates and the amount that will
be charged for the various priv
leges and it begins to look as if
the bidding will be good. Some
street carnival people are desir-
Gus of making arrangements for
the full line of side shows and
such entertainments.
As to the farm and live stock
exhibits it is the intention of the
committee to make it one OF the
main features. an effort being
made to have a premium upon
each class of farm product and
each class of stock which is rails
ed in this county. This is done
in order to induce the farming
and stock raising class Of people
to become interested in the mat
&I.
Plans are being made for an
Alfalfa Palace in which to place
] the farm exhibits. If they are
carried out and it seems that
they will be, one of the most
novel houses ever shown in the
United States will be the result,
and in addition it will be of suffi-
cient size to accommodate all the
exhibits which is thought will
be on hand.
From theencouragementwhic
has been given the committee
