the department was able to put up

flames, and but for quick work on
the part Of neighbors Of the man
whose house was afire without any
assistance whatever from the de-
partment, his property would have
been consumed.
That is pitiful condition, and
one that Lubbock citizens will at
tolerate, and the Avalanche has
too much respect for our people to
stress the need Of our business men
getting TO work on the problem, for
already they are al work doing all
they possibly can for the execution
of the work at hand, but this ar
ticle Is printed TO remind some of
the less thoughtful that Lubbock
merchants and businessmen are
working 20 the better interest Of
the city in every way possible, and

TWO CHILDREN RELIEVED OF
COINS AT SANITARlUM

John. the three-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs.. J. j. Kendrick. Of
Plains, was brought 10 a local sani-
tarium last week 70 have penny
which he swallowed removed from
his throat where il had lodged.
After taking an X-ray photograph
to locate the penny, it was removed
without difficulty. and the little fell
low is able 20 be about again at this
time.
The old story that Methodist
minister should be called on in such
instances seemed not TO have been
thought practical at the actual oc-
curence Of coin swallowing, as the
little fellow above mentioned was
hardly of the operating table until
Reba, the five-year-old daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. +. Doggett Of
Post City, was brought in to have
quarter which she had swallowed
removed, and again the physicians
were successful in accomplishing
their work.

cross examinations of the witnesses
consumed more time than ordinarily,
and il will be the last Of this week
before the case is completed.
The fact that the large courtroom
has been crowded TO full capacity
throughout the trial, and many
women are among those attending,
some question has been asked about
the reason for the ladies taking SO
much interest, which is accounted
for in thee fact that the brakeman
who was killed was young man,
and the defendants are both young
men, and interest in youth more
than anything else is what is taking
the ladies' TO the courtroom.

The evening services for young
people superintended by Mrs. Fish
or during the revival were instru-
mental in getting the young people
Of the various denominations to-
gethcr, and in working for the win
ming OF the contest they created a
spirit Of friendlinoss among these on
the respective sides which indicated
the great possibilities Of putting the
work OF the young people on com
munity-wide basis, and with the work
started in the matter as above pro-
posed. we aree sure that much good
will be derived from the beginning
OF a great revival in interesting the
young life Of Lubbock in church
work
We suggest that all young people
Of Lubbock take close notice Of what
is being donee by the copmittees
appointed on this work, and when the
opportunity 20 assist with the pro-
gram comes, get into il with all the
pep and vigor that is about you, and
help make life in Lubbock worth
while for the young people.

Face by Striker in Amarillo Sunday
Evening-Assailant Now Under Arrest

The many friends and acquaint-
snces Of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. T. Martin,
Of Lubbock. were sorry 10 hear OF
the stabbing Of their son, L. T., Jr.,
at Amarillo. Sunday evening, July

Sunday evening at about l0:00
s'clock, young Martin and two com.
vades had taken a short walk, and
refe returning TO the depot. when a
hand Of men stopped them 10 make
INQUIRY as 10 where they were go
ing. They replied that they were
soing TO the depot, and as they
started on their way, Martin was
attacked by the crowd. receiving a
deem stab in the back. and an almost
fatal slash across the face.
He was rushed 10 a sanitarium
where physicians attended the
wounds. and before many hours u
was determined that he was not
dangerously hurt, and later develop
nents prove that he viii be able to
be out again within a few days.
The men who attacked young
Martin are strikers who are out by
recent orders Of their union lead
srs. and Il was because Of this en-
ployment with the Santa Fe that the
stack was made.
Young Martin Is well known In
Lubbock, which was proven when
shortly after knowledge Of the. az
fray was received. his parents
we're called by telephone and In
person from every angle Of the city.
and many sympathetic friends sent
floral offerings 10 the wounded

When Lubbock business men 60
after a thing is about all that is
needed 10 get Il.
The fact then hat Lubbock is af-
ter better fire protection facilities
for the city is indeed evidence that
there will be no chance for the fire
demon TO interrupt the progress OF
this city as soon as enough time
for the achievement Of that work
has passed.
The Rotarians and Kiwanians may
not be such "spizz" cats when Il
comes 10 twirling the old pill or get.
ting beat at Bond elections, but
when IL comes TO going out after
something that Lubbock must have
they are all furred out and equip
ped for the little scrap, and the
fact that il is the unanimous 0pin-
ion of he Club members that some
thing must be done TO get better fire
fighting equipment for this city, -
proof conclusive that they will FIN
ish the little job in due time.
Geo ". Briggs, Of the BrggF q
Dcnman Insurance Company, mas
put the proposition before The meln-
bers Of the clubs in an able man
ner. and they readily understand
that without additional FIRE fighting
ia ,ilities we are 20 pay in insurance
premiums and subsequent fire loss
much greater sums than the install
lation of additional equipment woil I
aggregate.
Lubbock must do something!
The scene II our city standing
an easy victim TO the fire demon
IS enough 20 make the blood bell
in the veins IF any thoughtful pat
riot. and we are in hopes that moth
ing win be thrown in the way Of
the men who are 10 accomplish the
work at hand.
The city commission has not been
asleep on this matter. The officials
have long since understood the folly
of doing without the equipment, but
they have been helnlessly in need
Of funds for carrying on the work
