ment publication, to hold present set

MT. VERNON CLASS
 MAY CAPTURE CUP
New Britain Organization Must
 Make Sensational Spurt

That the Leland cup. donated to Everymans Bible class by W. w. Le- land. will leave New Britain. at least for a year. seemed assured yesterday when the New Britain class suffered defeat for the fifth consecutive Sun- day in q nine-Sunday attendance contest with two other classes
 Earlier in the year, Dr. J. E. Con- ger on behalf of the local class issued a challenge to the Bartholow class at Mount Vernon, N. r., which is about 16 years the senior of the local class, and to the Trinity Mems Bible class of New New Brighton, Staten Island, for contest to run from December 1 to February 1. At that time the New Britain class was running away ahead of either of the other two classes in attendance and had exceeded both of them in total enrolment. Dr. Con- gers challenge later was approved by the executive committee and with the approval of MT Leland, the cup was offered as a prize.
 Unfortunately the Christmas sea- son came along, and, although the hibp III dlltIudHtt III tue iotdl tldsS has not been any more marked than in preceding years at the same time, it has been enough to permit the Bartholow class to win out by small majority each time,
 While definite plans have not yet been formulated as to the awarding of the cup the Barthoow class is a total of 4O5 ahead of New Britain at this time, and nothing but a sensa- tional spurt which would almost double the average attendance will save the cup for this city.
 In order to keep closer check on attendance the figures are exchanged between the New Britain and Mount Vernon classes Sunday mornings in time to be announced before the close of the meetings.
 The local publicity committee has been unable to make similar arrange ments with the Staten Island class, and as result the report from that class is not received until later in inc week. The standing to date between the New Britain and Mount Vernon classes shows total of 1899 at the Mount Nt"ncn class, and l49i at the New Brita class. giving the New Workers an advantage Of 405 men. Yesterday New Britain had 32O and Mount Vernon had 3S5.

Born in 1884 at Gibson county
Tenn, Captain Turner has watched
the United States grow into one OF

Up until the death of his father.
life was more or less easy for Cap
tain Turner. His father was sheriff
of Gibson county for about 20 years
and was prominent business man
and property holder of the county.
Upon his death. however, it became
necessary to sell nearly all of his
property to meet his obligations and
when he was only 10 years old, the
burden of supporting his mother, five
sisters and a baby brother fell on
Captain Turner.
His first real job was in a dry
goods store. In return for his work he
was given his board. At the end of the
first year he was presented with 500

Is years old and was very small
weighing but 81 pounds.
Having plenty of nerve. however,
Captain Turner decided TO breach the
subject TO his mother. She told him
that the only way he could come 10
Texas would be TO take the entire fam
ily with him. The next question that
confronted him was how he was to get
to Texas. much less take the entire
family with him.
After careful consideration he. went
to two or three of his fathers bosom
friends and told Them he wanted to %
to Texas and would like for them 10
buy him four horses and two two
horse wagons. They laughed at him az
first and then told him that provided
his mother really wanted to go thcy
would provide the transportation.
Horse Falls in River.
The trip to Texas was begun in
1852. Everything went along smooth
ly until the small party reached
Waco. Here they were obliged to cross
the Brazos river. The first wagon was
iaken across on the ferry without in
cident. On the second trip. however
the ferryman failed to tie the wagol
on tightly and one of the horses
jumped overheard as the ferry ap-
preached the landing.
Still harnessed to the wagon the
horse fought desperately to%keep his
head above water Captain Turner,
who was standing on the bank at the
time. jumped into small skiff and
with the assistance OF the ferrymar
succeeded in releasing the horse from
the wagon. Instead of swimming to
the nearest shore, the horse turned
and headed for the opposite shore.
As soon as the horse struck shallow
water he was caught in the treacher-
Gus quicksand and was about TO
drown when Captain Turner plunged
into the water with his clothes on and
to help the horse out.
Hampered with his clothes, however.
he was forced to return to shore and
remove his shoes, coat and trousers
Again diving into the wate- he sue
ceeded in releasing the horse and land |
ing him safely on the opposite shore.
Here he discovered that one of his |
horse collars had been lost and this
meant that he must spend two Of his |

trip. I
Arrived With so Cents.
The entire population of Waco hau
gathered along the bank of the river
and when the ferryman wanted to
charge Captain Turner for transport
ing him across the river the citizens
voiced their protest with the result
that Captain Turner did not have TO
pay the ferryman, and besides this
was given money by the feS'yman
with which TO purchase new horse
collar.
Before leaving Tennessee. Captain
Turner had decided on Bastrop as his
destination. After Journey of six
weeks he arrived in Bastrop with his
four horses and two wagons and 30
cents in money.
''As soon as we arrived in Bastrop,
said Captain Turner. Il sold one Of
my horses and rented house. After
arranging the furniture and getting
the house in order | put on my broad
cloth suit and went to town. l just

town would be very anxious TO have
