ENUMERATION
COMPLETE SHOWS 1926 PUPILS

Assessor Carroll Todd has COM
pleted a scholastic census of the
Waxahachie Independent school dis
triet and finds there are 1926 scho-
lasties in the district, which is an
increase Of 1855 over last year. The
enumeration shows the following
division: Whites male 500, female
654 Cclored male 249, female
PA. \ further division shows
1926 white American children, 473
eolored. l German, Mexicans,
Italians, French. Irish.
The increase of 1S5 in one year
is exceptionally large and due to
some extent to the new law which
provides for the enumeration OF
children between the ages OF Z and
Is, however. it is not thought tina;
this law is entirely responsible for
the increase.

HE EVEN COOKED!
TOpekan Who Deserted Wife
Claims He Had a Reason.
When 1t Was Necessary to
Wash Clothes He Left.

Harry Hashberger who was brought
back from Schuyler, Neb-, by L. L.
Kiene, sheriff, charged with wife de-
sertion, doesn't believe there is any
justice in the law which makes it a
felony for a husband to pull up stakes
and leave when things go badly at
home.
He told Sheriff Kiene on the way
home that he had done everything
possible to get along at home--even to
the extent of doing the cooking and
the family washing-but that he
couldn't live peacefully with his wife
so he left.
Hashberger was brought back on a
requisition. Sheriff Kiene found him
working for a relative at Schuyler in
an ice plant. Today Hashberger was
arraigned and gave bond for his APP
pearance for further proceedings.

berger was arrested was sworn to by

That Doesn't Matter.
Animal Was His Only Means of
Livelihood.
RUSHED IN THE BURNING BARN
Frantic Effort Was Nearly Fa-
tai to r.. A. Thomson.
Fire at 40 Chestnut Street
Shortly Before Noon.

Following an unsuccessful attempt
to rescue a horse from a burning barn
today, r. A Thcmison, a maker of
wire novelties, is in st. Francis hos
pital suffering from serious burns
about the face, neck and hands. His
injuries however, physicians say, are
not worrying him so much as the fact
that the horse, which helped him
make his living, persisted.
Returning to his home, TO Chestnut
street, shortly before noon today,
Thomson found the barn on the place,
which he rents, in flames. Despite
the fact that the structure was totally
enveloped in smoke and fire, Thomson
rushed thru the door and attempted to
unite the horse. Realizing he could
not accomplish this he sta ggered out
of the barn with the fire smuggling his
hair and burning his skin. Neighbors
turned in the fire alarm but the flames
had gained so much Roadway that it
was impossible to save the building or
rescue the horse.
DR.. A B. Jeffrey was summoned
by the firemen thru the city health
department. He took Thomson to
the hospital where he was reported
resting fairly comfortable under an
1piate this afternoon, Doctor Jeffrey
said.
The value of the barn was about
500. 1t was owned by a Mrs Moore

they began to grow apart because of
the differences in their beliefs. When
the case was tried today only the wife,
accompanied by her attorney and a
girl friend, appeared. Neville was not
present, nor was he represented by an
attorney, except that the divorce proc
tor was there to see that both sides
got fair play.
Mrs. Neville, a young woman, testi-
fled that she and her husband long
ago gave up the idea of living together
in peace and that they separated. In
her petition she charged that he called
her vile names. that he was extremely
cruel to her and accused her of keep

stated that he kicked and struck her
