FATHER FERDINAND OFFER
SPLENDID SUGGESTION.

1t may be wise for citizens on
Allen street, or all over town for that
matter to follow suggestions offered
by Father J. ]. Ferdinand of St.
Peters Mission. The priest proclaims
that property owners and tenants
on Allen street can make walking
on rainy days more secure by putting
down cinders on side walks, INSTALL
ing plank curbings to save the Gin
ders from being washed away by
heavy rains. This can be done, he
says. by imposing small taxation
upon each individual interested and
The amount collected to be converted
into a treasure selected by the owner
and tenants Organization. and when
subscriptions to the amount desired
is collected contract for the inn
provement could be let.
BY placing cinders for walks in
that district would make it acces
ible to schools and churches. II

Members of the night staff of the
Peoples Undertaking Company were
given thrill (that would dance up
and down the spinal cord like a
dasher in churn) when the breath
less body of Dan Clay was brought
into the Peoples Undertaking Es-
adjustment last Thursday morning.
AT a. m. last Thursday morning
Glenn Jordan, night man and Will
Smith answered a call at Central
and State street where the body
OF Clay was found; placing 1t
into the basket and in the wagon,
returned to the undertaking estab-
lishment to prepare it for burial.
When opening the basket the under
takers, one at the head and the other
at the foot, noticed with PECULIAR
precision the strange position the
corpse occupied and the disarrang-
ment of the sheet placed over it.
Will Smith, who was cool and de-
liberate throughout the gruesome
test, noticed quivering of the eye
lids and said to comrades: "This
man is not dead" continuing his
remark, with further disclosures,
Smith found that the dead had really
come to life when the supposed dead
man spoke, saying; Gee j am cold"
Smith assisted him in getting up
and carried him to the fire. The I'M
dertakers who were about to en-
balm the BODY claim that the man
seemed unm0ved at the queer in
cident and conversed with the I'M
dertakers freely. He was after
wards carried in the ambulance to
the City Hospital for further treat
ment. Mr.. Clay has a brother,
Henry Clay who was notified of his |
come back. He had fallen in trance
where he remained more than four
hours. Clay has been suffering sew
eral weeks with heart troubles.
Mrs. Matte Clay's version of the
story runs like this: Il live at, $500 |
North Central avenue where Dan
Clay, my brother-in-law. also lives.
He has been sick three weeks and
changed for the worse Wednesday |
evening; discovering this fact the
family and other friends sat in
watchful waiting at the bedside for a
change in his condition. At 10
O'Clock change for the worse was
observed and the final end had come.
He was pronounced dead and was
laid out. / suggested to my husband
early Thursday morning to ring the
undertakers and have them prepare
the body for burial We planned
the funeral for Friday evening az
3 o'clock. The dead wagon arrived
at $3.50 Thursday morning and car
ried the body to the undertaking
parlors to lprepare it for the funeral /
which had been set. Later devel-
opments discloses the fact that fun
eral arrangements was not necessary
for my brother had come to life"
A Dallas Express representative
was on the job every minute in effort
to supply the readers of the big
weekly with the facts in the case.
We are informed, through internes
at City Hospital Thursday evening
at o'clock that Clay's condition was
favorable and that he went to his
bed unaided His case is among the
hopefuls.

publication of this noticeN
Mr.. Pittman was the recipient Of
a very agreeable surprise last Wed
nesday evening. Mr.. r. Lee Jones,
personal friend of Mr.. Pittman,
was the cause thereof Through his
personal efforts and generous initi-
alive a number of citizens contributed
to fund which Mr.. Jones set out
to raise with which to purchase a
suit of clothes for his friend Pitt
man." This sum in the form of a
check was turned over to Mr.. Pitt
man together with a list of those
who contributed. To Mr.. Jones and

proofs of the generous heartedness
Of the people of Dallas. While some
have enormously taken it upon them
selves to presume that the Pittmans

terious reason, there have been many
more whose hearts were touched,
and whose friendship justly impelled
them to render what aid they could.
