Messrs. A. B. Hit and T. H. Ham
mon recently returned from trip in
a Model T Ford and tell the story as
follows: Having lately returned from
an extended trip through western and
northern Texas, Oklahoma, New
Mexico, Colorado, and back home by
Kansas, in the Model T Ford touring
car, purchased of you, and having
tested the car in almost every way
possible, on a four-thousand mile
tour, we take the liberty of giving
you an outline of our trip.
Our objective point was the fishing
grounds on the head waters of the
Rio Grande, west of the Rocky
Mountains. With a complete camp
outfit, guns, rods and such other
equipage that a hunter and fisherman
would need on such trip, the most
notable of which was an old-fashion-
ed COW mans "chuck' box fastened
on the back Of the car
We left Mineral Wells July 5th,
with the intention of making a pleas
ure trip and not a record-breakin ing
run. Setting our course due west, we
passed through and over some Of the
most noted mountain sections of Palo
Pinto, Stevens and other north cent
raj counties of Texas, and reached the
cap-rock on the plains near the town
of Gail; here we turned our course
towards the north. We now are on
top of the great plains of Texas, with
out accident or mishap, having passed
over some of the toughest and rocki-
est sections of Texas. We now
breathe freely, for this being our first
trip in an automobile we many times
had our doubts as to whether our lit
tie car would be able to pull up some
of the rough, steep hills or out of
some of the deep creeks.
The plains being comparatively
level, we turned the little flier loose
to test her speed, as we had tested
her hill climbing abilities. We found
she was able to distance the antelope
coyote and jack-rabbit. Continuing
our journey, we came to sections
where automobile roads were laid out
through the ranch pastures from one
town to another. enabling one to
travel with much greater speed, and
no fear of losing the way. On the go
day after day, having become convinc-

The Model I for Vacation Tours

ed that the Model T would convey us
over any ordinary road in the United
States.
In our course we passed over some
of the finest sections in northwest
Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico,
crossing over bad sands, some muddy
roads. With some misgivings we be-
gan the ascent of the Ration range in
New Mexico, for many had told us it
would be impossible to pass over them
In that little car, but we had come to
believe that failure was not in front
of us, and so it proved to be, for we
passed over the mountain without
mishap.
Passing through the mining dis
tricts of Trinidad, we began the as
cent of the Rocky Mountains west of
Walsenburg, on the abandoned grade
of the Rio Grande Railway, the top of
which was many thousand feet above
sea level. All of our fears as to the
cars ability were dispelled when at
last we reached the top. Turning
down the western slope, our car
showed no signs of the hard test it
had been put to in climbing the
mountain. After passing over the
range we again came in contact with
heavy sand, and badly washed out
roads, all of which we passed over
with the addition of a little more
gasoline and sparks.
With our fishing tour at an end, we
returned to the eastern slope via the
La Veta pass, and are still able to
make 35 miles an hour over the
mountain road. The balance Of our
tour lay north through Colorado to
Denver, through the irrigated dis
tricts Of Colorado. Encountering
muddy roads on the return trip In
western Kansas, passing through part
of Kansas and Oklahoma, we turned
south to Amarillo, returning home
from there over the same route
traversed by us on our northern
journey, arriving at Mineral Wells
without any material mishap, both
much improved in health, thanks to
the model T.
We suggest to those desirous of
health and pleasure, that they make
a journey across the country in an
automobile.

INSULTED WHITE WOMEN
Negro Is Sent To House OF Cor
rectiOn For Three Years By
Justice Davis To Think
Things Over
COMMITTED WEDNESDAY,
Charles Colbert Grabbed Hold OF Mrs
Betty Monday On Lonely West
Annapolis Road

Charged with a serious offence, in
offering insulting advances to Mrs.
Betty Monday, young white woman
of West Annapolis, Charles Colbert,
colored, was today found guilty and
sentenced to three years in the House
of Correction by Justice John N.
| Davis.
The offense, which amounted to
common assault, occurred on Wednes-
day afternoon, when Mrs. Monday,
with her sister-in- law, Miss Eva Mon
day, were walking down the county
road about 2:30 o'clock, and was I'M
usually bold. According to testi-
mony before Justice Davis this
morning, the probable reason the
negro did not go even further in his
offense was that he became fright
ened at an approaching team and
ran back to his own wagon, which
he had left to approach the two
ladies after passing them.
According to the testimony today,
Mrs. Monday, who is the wife of Mr..
Albert Monday. with her sister-in-
law, was walking on Wednesday af-
ternoon. having left home with the
intention of paying a call on friend
some distance away. They were
crossing the Weems Creek bridge,
when two moving vans, driven by two
colored men passed them.
Colbert was on the last and after
passing them on the draw of the
bridge, he stopped his team and walk
ing back overlook them in a hollow
place between two hills on the road.
Without saying word he caught
hold of Mrs. Monday from the rear.
1t was just at this time that the head
of the horse belonging to the rural
mail carrier appeared over the far
hill and frightened the negro away.
He this morning denied the whole
affair, when placed on the witness
stand, claiming that although he pass
ed the two ladies in his team, he did
not stop, get out or approach them in
any way His testimony was un-
certain and hating, however, and he
was easily tangled by States Attorney
Green.
