$4,000 FOR GOOD ROADS
m PROwERS COUNTY
Mile and . Halt of Concrete High
way to Be Built On Trail
This Year.

Chairman of County Commission
ers A. P. Knuckey on his return
from a meeting of federal, state and
county road officials at Lamar last
week, states that $4,000 has now
been made available for new roads
and Improvements throughout
PrOwers county during the coming
year.
New construction work will in.
clude mile and a half of concrete
road out of Lamar on the Santa Fe
Trail. OF course, this mile and
half is only the beginning of the
plan to completely concrete the
Trail through Prowers county.
OF the $4,000 this immediate Sec
tion will get smaller portion than
might be hoped for, but it should
be borne in mind that Chairman
Knuckey is real good roads man
and that he is overlooking no in
terest of Holly and vicinity in road
matters. 1t is also pertinent to say
in this connection that the size of
the Prowers county road budget
this year is largely due to Mr..
Knuckey's personal efforts.
OF course, Commissioners j. b.
Rhodes and Fred Williams are also
good roads men from who laid the
chunk" Both of them are strong
ly with the chairman of the board
for the building of every foot of
good roads in the county possible.
All three are doing their level best
and simply because a boulevard is
not built in front of your door or
farm is no reason that your section
has been overlooked.
1t will be but a very few years
when the Trail through the county
is all concrete and gradually the
other main roads will be similarly
improved.
Don't knock on the board bat
boost for good roads.

W. I. Kidder Buys Residence.

w. I. Kidder, local manager of
the Holly Jewelry & Music Co. who
recently moved into the A. D.
Plank residence property on the
Trail in the northwest part of town,
last week purchased the property.
The consideration was between $1,000
and $1,000. Mr.. Kidder has clearly
interpreted the handwriting on
the WALL in Holly and does not
propose to move every month. The
fact of the matter is that If a fami,
ly wishes to reside permanently in
Holly they must either buy or
build.

BLAND's GROCERY SOLD
P. v. Ritter of Gallup, New Mexico,
New Proprietor.

Among the many changes in the
grocery business in Holly is the
sale of BANDS Grocery last Friday
evening by Mr.. s. NJ Bland to p. V.
Ritter, of Lamar but who up to
three months ago had been in busi-
ness at Gallup, N. NJ Mr. Ritter
took possession of the store Mon
day morning and the stock has
just been invOiced.
There were many persistent ru-
mOrs about town the first of the
week to the effect that the store
had been bought for T. H. Kelsey &
Co. of Lamar. Mr.. Ritter, however,
declares that Kelsey g. Co. have
nothing to do with the transaction
whatever, and that he is the sole
proprietor.
Mr. Bland was not on the market
but he is enough of the Yankee
that he will sell most anything he
has when he can turn few dollars
in the operation. He will remain
with Mr.. Ritter for some time at
least, and in any event does not ex-
peet to remove from Holly.

i'll yesterday afternoon with recur.
renee of gravel which has been both.
ering him OF late, and his condition
grew so serious later in the evening
that DR.. Wilson, who was in atten.
dance, called DR.. Fitzgerald of Hart
man, in consultation. His physi,
clans decided this morning that he
should have more thorough ex.

Has Bought P. Hardy Gro.
Gerry Stock.
WILL OCCUPY HARDY'S
AND BUILDING ADJOINING
To Put in $4,000 to $4,000 Stock
Including First Glass Meat Mar
ket-Will Buy Farmers Produce
and Pay for It In Cash.

That the SnOdgrass Food COmpa-
ny. with headquarters at Trinidad.
and operating chain of twelve
high class grocery stores in the
Arkansas Valley will open a store
in Holly is now assured. This an
nOUncement is made by The Chief
tain on the authority of Mr. p Har-
dy who states that he has sold his
stock of groceries to the SnOdgrass
company ana expects to give pos
session in about ten days. The
statement is further cOrroborated
by Mr.. Roy Pearson, local manager
of the company's store at Wiley who
will have charge of the Holly
branch.
This will settle rumOrs that have
been current here for the past three
weeks relative to the SnOdgrass
people entering Holly, and the def.
mite announcement will be a matter
of especial interest to people in Hol-
ly and vicinity.
The Chieftain learned this morn
ing in a further verificatiOn of the
transaction by telephone converse
tion with Mr.. Pearson, that he will
probably arrive in Holly tomorrow
to begin an invoice of the stock and
organize the business, which will in
vOlve the opening up of $4,000 to
$4,000 stock of groceries and food
stuffs.
The Snodgrass store will occupy
both Mr.. Hardy's present location
and the Haberstroh building adj
joining it on the north side and re-
Gently vacated by the A. H. Jones
meat market. The Snodgrass store
will also include a first class meat
market.
The best known brands of grocer
les and canned goods will be carried
at all times and speciality will be
made of fresh fruits and vegetables
Of all kinds. One feature of the
Snodgrass business will be a cash
market for the farmers produce
Produce will be paid for in cash
on delivery and the grower allowed
to spend the proceeds where he or
she chooses without any bubble
This will be something Holly has
needed for long time and should
be greatly appreciated by the pro
ducers of this section. 1t is in line
with the well known progressive
methods of the SnOdgrass Food Co.

Delight Of Crowd.

Delight Of Crowd.
AS per announcement in last
weeks paper a 14OOO-pound steel
war tank of the whippet type, arriv-
ed here at o'clock this morning on
special train over the Santa Fe in
charge of Division Supt. Dan Orr
from Hutchinson, and was greeted
at the depot by a tremendous
crowd.
The train consisted of three day
coaches furnished as quarters for
officers and men, fiatcar for the
tank, a boxcar and the cabOose.
The tank company was in charge
of Capt st. James. After break
fast the tank was unloaded and
made a circuitOus trip through res
idence streets to the High school
building where at 10 o'clock Mayor
Harry Steele introduced Rev. DR..
Burkhead of Kansas City who was
in charge of the party as Victory
boosting campaign, who spoke for
the loan elOquently and enthusias.
tically.
Capt. st. James of Trinidad, a
member of the l57th and recently
from overseas, gave a most interest.
ing account of the fighting of the
American and allied troops and of
the use of the tanks.
John Duncan, local chairman of
the Victory Loan campaign then
made brief but firm appeal for the
sale of the bonds, during which he
introduced Sergeant Melvin Bragg
and Private Allen A. Anderson,
both Holly boys of the l57th who
had just reached home from over
seas, and called attention to their
sacrifice and contribution to the
great cause of world democracy.
The tank was then driven to the
A. V. Land Co.'S. building Just across
the Santa Fe tracks where demon
stration was given of how these
tanks were used in2the wafs to tear
down trees and buildings, or any
thing else in their path. It pushed
down and crawled over 6-inch cot
tonwOOd trees with ease and great
efficiency despite mud and water.
The special tank train left at 1:3O
for Lamar to give another demon
stratiOn during the afternoon.
Holly has $4,000 yet to raise for
her quota of the Victory Liberty
Loan, and we should put this across
by Saturday night.

Inquest in Garrett Shooting
Held Here Saturday.
LITTLE DOUBT HERE AS TO
SHENElaAN's CONVICTION
But Three Witnesses Examined
G. L. Garrett, DR.. Wilson and City
Marshal Yullsr-Evidence Strong.
ly Against the Accused.

A cOrOner's jury empaneled here
last Saturday morning by County
Coroner Shelter OF Lamar for an in
quest into the death of the late w.
0. Garrett, in its verdict held AlOn-
70 Sheneman guilty of CARROTS un-
timely death.
Coroner Shelter, accompanied by
Deputy District Prosecuting Attor-
ney CRANKY Hillyer, Sheriff Cal.
Downing and Attorney A. c. Gordon
drove down from Lamar Saturday
morning and the inquest was con-
vened at the Commercial Club
rooms at l o'clock, when Messrs. A.
P. Knuckey, C. M. Witty, j. S. Nc,
Murtry, J. w. Bryce, H. w. Woods
and J. NJ. Wilkin were selected as
jurors.
Coroner Shelter and the jury then
viewed the body at the Morich Fur
niture Co.'S. parlors, after which
Coroner Shelter and DR.. Wilson
made careful postmortem exami-
nation.
Coroner Shelter then convened the
inquest and District Deputy Attor-
ney CRANKY Hillyer conducted the
investigation
c. L. Garrett, brother of the
dead man was the first witness ex-.
amined, his testimony showing that
the wife and two children of the de
ceased witnessed the fatal shooting
of Mr.. Garrett, which occurred with,
in few rods of their farm home at
Plains, Wednesday evening of last
week.
Dr. Wilson, who was called to at
tend Garrett just after the shoot
ing, testified that the ball which
caused his death entered the left
side of the back cutting off the low
er end of the left kidney, piercing
the stomach and intestinet and
grazing the lower edge of the liver,
coming out about four inches below
the right nipple. He testified posi-
lively that the shot was fatal.
j. G. Fuller, city marshal of Holly
was the only other witness called.
MIR. Fuller had Sheneman in the
town Jail the night of the fatal
shooting. He testified that Shene-
man had inquired Thursday morn
ing if Garrett was dead, and being
informed that he was not, Shene-
man said he was sorry, that he
meant to kill him.
Marshal Fuller also read a writ
ten statement made by Mr.. Garrett
just before he died to the effect
that Sheneman shot him without
provOcation. This statement was
signed by Mr.. Garrett the night be-
fore he died and in the presence
of his family and Marshal Fuller.
Sheneman is in the county Jail
where he will doubtless be held un.
til the June term of court. Attorney
A. G. Gordon has been retained as
legal counsel for Sheneman's de-
fense. Little doubt is entertained
but that Sheneman will be quickly
convicted and sentenced.
