chic Chautauqua. Rev. Aubrey
enumerated the many fine attrac-
lions booked for the coming en-
campment, and said that while cast
ing no reflections en- past programs
he believed the one prepared for
this year was the best of all. He
told what the RedDath circuit was
and declared that only first-class
talent was sent out by this associa-
ton. On account of the long junr
the entertainers would have to make
to reach Waxahachie arrangements
had to be made with other towns
to hold Chautauquas and Rev Au-
brey said he succeeded in enlisting
Paris, Denton and Gainesville in the
Circuit. The Waxahachie dates are
July 4th to 18th, inclusive.
Mr.. Aubrey said the encampment
would be held earlier this year than
usual so that people desiring to ga
away LOT summer vacation may
first have an opportunity to attend
the Chautauqua.
He announced that kindergar-
ten department had been added and
that this section would be under the
supervision of an expert.
He said he attended the AID Men S
convention at Dallas Monday, and
he heard a delegate from Toronto
Canada, say that the Waxahachie
Chautauqua was the best advertised
institution at the convention.

pared for this years encampment

BELIEVED THAT NEGRO
WILL COME THIS WAY
Officers are Looking for Black
Fiend Who Assaulted Girl Near
Tyler Last Week.

All the officers in WaXahachie have
received from the sheriff at Tyler cir.
culars giving quite a lengthy descrip-
ton of a negro who is wanted there on
an alleged charge of crfminally as
saulting the young daughter of a
truck farmer living one mile north oil
the city. The negro is known as Dan
Davis and 1t is said he has served a
term in the penitentiary.
Davis wife has lived in Waxahachie
and it was believed by the Tyler Off
GERS that she was here when the crime
charged against Davis was committed
last Wednesday. Deputy Sheriff Tur-
ner of Tyler spent last Friday night
and Saturday morning in Waxahachie
looking for the negro, and while here
he learned that Davis wife had been
away from here sometime, going first
to Ennis and then to Waco.
A negro was arrested at Ennis Sat
urday on suspicion, but he proved
that he was not the man wanted.
The attack on the girl was commit
ted last Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday morning the unconscious
victim was found by relatives and
friends. In addition to having been
assaulted her throat had been slashed
with knife and her front teeth Rocked
out. When she regained conscious
ness she was able to give a good de-
scription of the negro and said she
could identify him. Davis was on his
way from Kaufman to South Texas
when the assault was committed. The
girl, who was on her way to Tyler,
was walking along the railroad track
when the negro jumped from behind
some bushes The girl made desper-
ate fight as indicated by bruises on
her body.
Descriptions of the negro have been
sent by the Tyler sheriff to all parts
of Texas, and it is believed he will
soon be captured.
