Enioined.


EnjOined.
For the second time within
the past few months, the Board
of County Commissioners Of
Curry CO., or rather the Messrs.
Roy D. Elder and Benjamin
Crawford have been enjoined
from awarding the jail repair
contract. Judge Richardson
issued a restraining order or
injunction Monday and the
Slime was Immediately served
upon the Commissioners who
have been in session telling
jokes and stories and thus ex-
pending public money again
this week.
Ofcoqrse, they fail to take
the courts order seriously as ef-
fecting their personal qualifca-
tions as public officials as was
the case when the last perpetu-
al injunction was issued BY
Judge Mcclure but they can
rest assured that the disgusted
people Of Curry County are con-
sidering the matter from a Sc
rious and not from a comical
point Of view.
Judge Terrell, who has been
looking out for the public well
fare without recompense, again
came to the rescue Of the people
and had the restraining order
issued, before the aforesaid
Commissioners had any intima-
tion of what was going to hap
pen.
A county official is authori-
ty for the statement that since
paying the last delinquent tax
list printing to Tom Journal Ma
bry, that the general county
fund has been depleted to such
an extent that there remains
between six and eight hundreds
of dollars worth of county war
rants against that fund which
is already in the red. f"
It is said that the fact Of this
depletion Of the general fund
was made the basis for the in
junction proceedings.

sational killing occurred in this
city shortly after noon Sunday.
IN which Dr. Riley. cattle in-
spect0r Of Lubbock was the as.
sailant and j. w. Smith Of Big
Springs, Texas lost his life.
Smith left his home at Big
Springs Sunday intending 60 go
to Croshyton. He bought a
ticket at Post City to Lubbock,
from which place be would have
travelled over land to Crosbyton.
Dr. Riley also bought a ticket at
Post City to return here to Lub-
book. Nobody knows whether
or not the two men met on the
train, but when The train reach
ed this station at 1885 Sunday,
Smith hurried off the train evil
IDENTIFY to escape Riley who inn
mediately followed. Riley got
into a cab to come up town, and
Smith followed. attacking him
in the cab with a pocket knife
inflicting several wounds before
Smith fell out Of the cab. Riley
ran inside the waiting room at
the depot and Smith followed
where the attack continued.
Riley used a knife with a
blade about three inches long,
and he literally cut Smith to
4 pieces. He pushed the blade
Of the knife into Smiths abdo-
men on the left side and draw
ling the blade across the body
inflicted a terrible cash laying
open the abdominal cavity f3r
several inches. He then stab
bed him over the heart and end
ed his attack by cutting his

PLAN To REBUILD
RETREAT FOR SICK
Board Is Now Considering the
Idea of Erecting Large Mod
ern Hospital.

with view OF replacing the pres
ent small building with an extensive
hospital open 20 the general pracution-
ers of the city. the board OF the Re
treat for the Sick has appointed COM
mittees and asked advice from compe-
tent authority in regard to the pos
sibilities OF such move. Al the pres
ent time nothing OF definite nature
has been accomplished, but the re-
building idea has terminated into "A

tients of the Medical College of Vir-

acter
1t is the wish Of the Retreat for the
Sick board that this hospital. at present
largely supported by voluntary con-
tributions. may be converted into a
general hospital and become In a meas
ure self-supporting. II is believed
that there will be ample demand for
such an institution. and that no trou-
BILE will be found in filling the beds
of the enlarged hospital
The old plant OF the Retreat for the
Sick, located on Twelfth street. be
tween Broad and Marshall. Is too small
to supply such a need. For this rea-
son the board is considering plans for
rebuilding the Retreat on larger
scale and in a thoroughly modern
fashion 1t is understood that the same
site will be used in case the hospital
is rebuilt. The majority OF the board
is said to be favorably disposed TO-
ward the rebuilding proposition. and
~ the question OF finances can be
solved, the scheme will undoubtedly
be put through.

Hicks worked in Petersburg and

of June 1. 1910. and his lifeless body
was found by the roadside, his face

Another witness. a girl. testified that
