Ill Dec. IA.

An order was issued today by
the railroad com mission continu-
ing all cases which were set for
hearing next Tuesday to the
second Tuesday in December,
which is the 18th. The reason
for this continuance was because
there were no really important
matters to come up for hearing
this month. The matters affect
ed by the postponement are:
The petition of the cement inter-
ests of the state for a reduction
of rate on that commodity; pro-
posed order defining the manner
of crossing to be constructed at
Sweetwater between Pecos &
Northern Texas. and the petition
for better depot facilities at

A Canyon Citizen Held lip

Tuesday night about { o'clock
in the evening, as Mr.. Maloney
one of the Canyon City Supply
Managers was returning home
from his place Of business, and
soon after crossing the rail road
tracks north was accoSted by
two men approaching from Op-
posite directions, one of which
commanded him, MalOney to
throw up his hands and before
Maloney could comply with his
request the would be assassin
thrust knife at him, Maloney
and struck his coat collar near
the shoulder cut a hole there and
another on the left side and
down the back, Maloney struck
at and hit the would be assassin
knocked him back some distance
but the assassin was not to be
foiled that way, so came back at
Maloney who received another
stab from the would be assassin
this time he cut Maloney's coat
and vest in the front and on the
left side, Maloney dispatched
him another blow which stunned
the intruder and it gave Maloney
time to escape in the darkness,
the would-be assassin partner
who was a large man did not
seem to make any demOnstra
ton to help as he pro badly
thought it was not necessary,
both outlaws escaped. Maloney
gives it his opinion that it was
possibly case of mistaken ident-
ity, that the would be assassin
mistoOk him for some one else,
and as the saying goes, laid
for him another fellow. 1t is
coming to a great pass when a
defencless citizen can not 90 on
the streets of Canyon without
being waylaid, in Chicago they
expect it and are protected by
police.

TEXAS WOMAN MAY BUILD RAILROAD
Miss Francis Stons Confers With President Of
Santa fe

Miss Frances Storrs of
Dimmitt, Castro County Tex,
is going to build a railroad, if she
can not find anyone else to do it.
She called at President Ripley 5
office today to see if that road
would operate a line siXty-tive
miles long and connecting with
the Santa Fe, provided she would
build it. Eventually she means
to have the road extended to the
Gulf, if the Santa Fe does not
extend its lines from the Pan
handle to the Gulf.
Some years ago Miss Storrs
bought a dozen or two sections
of Panhandle land at SOC an acre
and now she wants to get her
farm products to market. She
has raised subsidies for the road
amounting to 100000. Dimmitt
alone giving $4,000. Miss Storrs
left for New York today to in
terest capital in her venture.

Call Meeting OF Council
Nov. 10th %

The City council preceded to
examine several locations for
deep well and stand pipe for city
water purposes, and selected a
lot owned by f. H. Ackley, loca-
ted North of Railroad, and near
ly opposite the depot, in block
number six, LARS addition to
Canyon.
The city council also made
final selection of ground for
sewer disposal and septic tanks
situated on the west side of John
HutSon tract southeast of Can
yon City.
The bond of Ed Dalton as city
engineer was approved. The
work of installing the same will
commence as soon as the mater
ial can be shipped in. Also the
final contract of II. A. Campbell
to install the water and sewer
system was entered into, and
approved.
The News is informed by the
Mayor, that it is expected and
planned that quite a number of
I inch branch house service lines
will be installed and tap the
main : inch line at street inter
sections wherever it is deemed
necessary, so as to give service
to all the residence district for
at least one or two blocks each
direction, from the : inch main
line, thus making a complete
network of house service, and es
pecially the thickly settled part
of the city. 1t is believed that
the property owners will readily
advance to the city the small
amount it will be necessary to
install the smaller service pipes
so that the water system can be
extended beyond where the
inch service stops. Thus enabl-
ing the city to be able to furnish
an efficient fire protection as vel
as for domestic use, or purposes,

CANYON CITY NORMAL SITE
Papers 10 Property Are Formally Transferred
To Authorities.

Austin, Texas, Nov. 6 The
board to locate the new Stat e
Normal held it's final session to-
day and completed arrangements
for the Canyon City site. There
was present Lieut.. Gov. A. B.
Davidson, Speaker John Mar
shall and Superintendent of
Public instruction Cousins.
The abstract to the tract of land
selected at Canyon City was
formerly turned over to the
board by the two representatives
of Canyon City, r. A. Terrill and
l.. f. Cowling, who were present
today. This concludes the mat
ter so far as the locating board
is concerned, and it's duties are
at an end. By Oct. | of next
year Canyon City will have a
S150,000 normal. 1t is now up
to the State Board of Education
to select an architect and ar
range for the construction of the
buildings and making the inn
provements. The Governor will
have to appoint local board of
trustees for the normal, and it
will have important duties to
perform in connection with the
establishment and maintenance
of the school. Inasmuch as less
than eleven months are left for
the establishment of the new
school, it is expected that the
State Board of education will
commence it's laborS at once.
The selection of the architect,
preparation of plans, advertising
for bids and actual construction
will take some time. The State
appropriates $4,000 for the new
school and Canyon City gives
800, 100 besides the forty-acre
tract of land for the location.
The State Board of Education
selects the principal and faculty
Prof. r. B. Cousins, State Sup
erintendent of Public instruction
is understood to be a prOspec-
tive applicant for the position
of principal of the Normal, also
Prof, Littleiohn of Galveston,
possibly Prof. S. NJ, N. Marrs of
Terrell and others.
MessrS. Terrill and Cowling,
who were here today from Can
yon City, will go to San Antonio
for the fair before returning
home. They are interested in
the Panhandle exhibit, but more
particularly that of their own
county. They also conferred
with the railroad commission in
behalf of new depot for the
growing town of Canyon City,
averring the present depot had
less room in it than box car.
Their case was for next week,
but will not be considered until
December session. The three
members of the locating board
above mentioned are witnesses
in support of the nesessity of a
new depot. Dallas News.

handle and were viewed by
thousands of visitors who had al
ways hitherto considered this a
large plain, wind swept, inhabit-
ed only by cowboys, longhorns
and cayOtes, and when they were
permitted to get a glimpse into
the real possibilities for the
Panhandle farmer, the revela-
tion came with so sudden and
great force, that some of the
visitors could hardly resist the
shock.
While Randall Comfy did not
secure any prizes on the few ex-
hibits sent to the Dallas fair,
there were several reasons for it
one was that Randall County
farmers did not get out the best
and especially prepared exhibit
but secured something that was
true honest exponent of the
fertility of Randall County soil,
the exhibits were left to the ten
der mercies of themselves, no
one charge from Randall county
and besides being shipped in a
car with a number of other
counties from the Panhandle.
and no one being in charge, it
was side tracked for a more con-
venient place for the prize win
ner when the exhibit was gath
cred in Canyon City, and before
putting it into the car the under
standing was that it would be
as a part of the Panhandle ex-
hibit, and not enter as a separate
after these exhibits all reached
the Fair, some of the Panhandle
counties found that by making
trades, and purchases of some
of the neighboring counties,
they could procure some of the
prizes awarded, and the rivalry
and bidding was done at rapid
pace, now some of the prize win
ming counties will not come out
and say just what the circum-
stances surrounding their eXhib-
its were.
OF course the people of Ran
dali County can readily see
the motive of some of
the Panhandle counties prize
awards or premiums. 1t is an
advertising scheme, pure and
simple, little do those prize win
ming counties, consider that
when their premium ribbons and
the productiveS of their reSpec-
tive localities. That they are
water on the wheels of
agriculture of Randall County,
Texas, as this last named county
can produce anything that any
of the other Panhandle counties
can produce, our soil is as deep
and as productive, our water is
better and purer than it is in
many of the counties of prize
we have an abundance
of it, if some of those prize win
ming counties could view the
standing red cedar and other
post material for fencing pur-
poses, their prize pumpkin pur
chased from another county
would sink into significance. To
the prize winning and to the
non-prize winner and to those
who had no exhibits at the State
fair, Randall invites one and all
to come to Canyon City, and join
with us to enjoy the greatest of
all living prizes, The State Nor
