RECORD III SAN ANTONIO
Charles Roy Maetarlane, Formerly Of
This City. a Leading Lawyer
In Teas City.

(San Antonio, Texas, Exprcss.)
Charles Roy MacFarIane, one Of the
leading members Of the Texas bar,
claims Missouri as his native home
and it was there that he obtained the
education that has enabled him to &C.
cupy the front rank in the GALAXY Of
attorneys, whoare recognized for their
ability and their extensive knowledge
Of legal affairs.
While not a native Of The Lone Star
State it is probable that there is no
man within the confines Of Texas
more loyal to It's traditicps or
its institutions. Since coming here
has been one Of the statfs most
progressive citizens and has been
one of the men VINO has done
things for Texas.
Mr.. MacFarIane va born in Mex
leo, MISSOURI, June Is. 1873, his par
ents being George and Alice McFar-
lane, early and substantial settlers in
that part of the country. His father
was the son Of a Scotehman, who ini-
migrated to this country about 1920
and his mother was of old Kentucky
stock and traced her ancestry back to
1860. His father and mother are both
natives of Missouri.
Mr.. MacFarlane was educated in
the public schools at Mexico, Missouri,
Graduating from the high school in
1890 with first honors. On account Of
his brothers health he then went TO
Colorado where he attended Colorado
College at Colorado Springs for the
period Of one year.
After this he entered West Minister
College at Fulton, Missouri, from
which place he graduated in 1898 with
first honors. He then entered the law
department Of the University Of Mis-
souri, at Columbia, Missouri, where in
addition to the regular work of the in
stitution he took a post graduate
course. He graduated from there in
1895 with the degrees Of NJ. A.. and
L. L. B.
Mr.. MacFarlane began the practice
of law at Mexico, Missouri, and was
there until 1901 when he went to st.
Louis and practieed his profession.
While eminently successful he decided
that the Southwest aFared greater OPP
portunities and in 1906 he removed to

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength Of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

CHANGED UMP|RES IN
9TH INNING, SUNDAY


Mexico baseball fans arose in a
body during the eighth inning at Col
onial Park, Sunday afternoon, and
crowded onto the diamond to express
their indignation at the miserable de-
cisions Of Umpire Griffith, who came
all the way from Moberly to officiate.
Deputy Constable Churchill KEENAN,
came to the little umpire's rescue be-
fore any damage was done, however.
and in a short time the game was re-
sumed with Col. Fred A. Morris Of
floating.
The rush Of the fans came when
Mexico had a good chance to win the
ball game and the umpire gave Paris
the benfit Of a great big doubt, viz
Parker Marshall slid into home-plate
before Dewey, who caught for Paris,
had the ball. Dewey blocked him,
however, until he fielded the ball and
the "umps' called the runner out.
This was the climax; Griffith had been
making rotten mistakes against
Mexico throughout the game and the
fans couldn't stand the pressure. At
one time when Woody Thomas was at
bat, he was struck by a pitched ball
and the Jumps" wouldn't let a man
from third score nor would he allow
Thomas to take his base. Such decis-
ions as this and many more just as
poor brought forth the wrath of the
audience.
The game ended with Paris having
8 rum and Mexico none. Paris re-
tains her percentage of 1000 and Mex
leo has dropped to the $50 class. The
largest crowd Of the season witness
the game, Sunday. Paris had no Ii
%cense to win except that they took ad.
vantage of several little errors com
ing at an inopportune time. They
scored in the End, 3rd and 9th. get
ting next to Thomas with fast infielt
hits into unprotected territory. Mex
ico's only chances to score were ruin
ed by the umpire, except in the SIKH
when Hape was caught off first an,
Willingham ran home in an effort I
draw the play from first. He sue
/ ceeded in that, but was caught him

Thomas pitched a good game 0

Threlkeld was given rotten supper
at all stages and had to do all tn
work himself. Daniel, Parker MAJ
