crowded to hear the afternoon pro-
gram and as evening drew near and
some of the older folks were leaving
for nome new recruits began to gather
for the evening doings. There were
several pictures taken of the crowd

Quarters With All Modern I'M
provements July Ist

At the adjourned meeting of the
board of county commissioners, con-
vened for the purpose on Wednesday
of last week, March 22nd, the con-
tracts were let by the board for the
remodeling of the county court house
and the construction of new heating
plant.
To George w. Buckingham G. Son
of Grand Forks was awarded the
general contract for the building and
construction work Mr.. Buckingham's
price Of $40, O59 was the lowest bid
received from the several firms of
contractors bidding. What the amount
of the bid calls for is the construction
of new heating plant; the remodel
ing of the basement and the upper
stories of the court house, all paint
ing and plastering, installing of all
Jail fixtures and remodeling Jail; in
stalling and furnishing septic tank
and tunnel work; putting in maple
floors over the entire first floor and
other similar work deemed to be
necessary.
The new heating plant will be large
and substantial enough to accommodate
a new court house, which of course
will have to be built in the course of
time. The contract for the plumbing
and heating work was awarded to G.
O. Rye of this city, whose figures of
So, $50, was the lowest bid received,
although both Fargo and Grand Forks
men were here with bids for this
work. Mr. Rye's contract calls for a
new boiler and connections and the
installing of all plumbing work.
The contract for all the needed Jail
fixtures and two new vault doors was
awarded to the Diebold Lock and Safe
Co.. for the sum of $40. The fix
lures for the new vaults that will

WAS 1T A FAKE ALARM?

Last Thursday evening the Lang
don fire department responded to a
call to the ADedrick block, where a
defective oil stove is stated to have
been the cause for alarm. What fire
there may have been was apparently
all out before the boys arrived on the
scene. 1t is quite coincidence that
at the time the alarm sounded the
members of the department were
about to seat themselves at their
annual banquet in the dining room of
the q. c. T. hotel. Some people
insist that the call they hurried off to
respond to in the Dedrick block was
a put up job.

CHEERS AND TEARS
FOR COMPANY ~

The following is taken from the Min
eral Wells Index: Capt Eldred A.
Davis is an old Darlington Boy and
has a large number of friends here
who are interested in his move
mentS.
At 7:25 o'clock this morning Co.
l., Fourth Texas Infantry, Captain
E. A. Davis commanding, left for
San Antonio. The roster numbered
eighty men, including two who re-
ported by phone for service from
Fort Worth last night and were or.
dered by Captain Davis to remain
there until the company arrived this
morning. These two were Roy Rob-
erts and Roy Dunn.
There were perhaps two thousand
people at the station to bid the SOL
die boys farewell and God speed.
Mothers, sisters, wives, children and
friends of the enlisted men were
present.
AS the company came marching to
the station Prof. Woodward's band
struck up the air of "Dixie" and a
cheer went up from the entire as
sembly that woke the sleeping echoes
of the mountains. AS the boys en-
tered the cars the touching farewellS
of loved ones brought tears to many
eyes.
In an interview with Captain E.
A. Davis this morning just before
leaving The Index was requested to
express to the people Of Mineral Wells
for him the high appreciation of the
company, officers and men, for the
courtesy and kindness uniformly ex-
TENDED since the order came tor bord.
er service. Captain Davis stated that
Company II" would be looked after
carefully in their absence, and in view
of the fact that some of the enlisted
men were leaving homes, wives and
small children to answer the call of
their country in protecting its inter-
eSts and its honor, he hoped that the
good people left behind would make
it point to see that no suffering
came to the families Of any enlisted
man during their absence.
The Index takes pleasure in giving
publicity to these statements and re-
quests of Captain Davis, and feels
sure that every mans family will be
looked after properly should neces-
sity arise.
