CHAPMAN ELEVATOR BURNS
Building Containing 10000 Bushels
of Grain Total Loss

The Chapman elevator owned by
Perry Frazier, containing about
sixteen thousand bushels of grain,
burned to the ground at 10 o'clock
January II. The fire started in
the top of the building and all eff
forts of the fire department to
reach it were unavailing.
Ten thousand bushels of wheat,
and six thousand bushels of corn
were burned and the total loss,
with $f1, 100000 of insurance, is es-
timated at between $4,000 and
$4,000. 1t is thought that there
will be some salvage on the wheat.
The tin covered frame building
caught fire when the paint was be-
ing burned off, preparatory to re-
ceiving a fresh coating. Painters
had been at work all morning and
it is supposed that the covering
became heated to such an extent as
to fire the framework beneath it.

brought in a verdict for the pam

awarded $1,000 and A. G. White

The suit had attracted much IN

ENTERPRISE are on the docket for
this term of court.
The jury reached its decision
about 10 o'clock last night and the
sealed verdict was opened by Judge
King this morning
After hearing all the evidence IN
.he case of John Roemer, charged
with embeZZling FUNDS OF inc ouu
Fellows lodge, Judge King dismissed
the case on the ground that the
prosecution did not prove what the
money was used for.
Embezzlement under the law IS
defined as using or converting TO
ones own use, money belonging to
company or corporation" The
petition against Roemer charged
him with embezzlement and the
fact that the prosecution failed to
proye that he converted the money
to his own use or, in fact, that it
failed to prove at all what he did
with the money-was the reason Tor
the dismissal of the case. The de-
Tense admitted the disappearance OF
the money but its loss did not con
stitute embezzlement, the charge
on which Roemer was held.

Old Timers View

l have lived in this county for
over thirty years and ranched
for about eighteen years of that
time. The cattlemen's idea was
that this soil would not produce
anything except the native
grasses and it never seemed to
occur to them that it might some
day develop into a farming
country. Yet such has been
the case.
The first farming was done in
the county about fifteen years
ago and from small beginning,
although so miles from rail-
road, Ochiltree has advanced
from the last to well up toward
the first in the production OF
wheat and hogs, among all the
counties in Texas. Further
more, our farmers are making
money almost without exception.

Ochiltree, Texas.
