The Danger Is From Pneumonia.
The chief danger lies in the development
of pneumonia. What is needed therefore
is something To decrease the congestion Of
the lungs. For this purpose there is moth
ing like a rubefacient or counter-irritant, as
witness the use Of blisters, poultiees and
plasters for many generations. This irrita-
ton reddens the skin-draws the blood
from the congested parts TO the surface; the
circulation is improved; there is "A sensa-
ton of warmth and the possibility of pneu-

HALTED FOR FUEL
Not Enough Gasoline in Castroyille for
Army Truck Train.

The longest train of army trucks that
has come 10 San Antonio in months ar
r.ved at the Eighth Corps General Area
Depot, Fort Sam Houston, early Sat
urday morning from Columbus, New
Mexico. The train was made up of Al
trucks, all of which were heavily load
ed with surplus property gathered at
Columbus, Fort Bliss, Camp Marta,
Eagle Pass and Fort Clark. The i'm
mense stock of surplus property is be-
ing stored in the warehouses of the
General Area Depot, and it was said
will probably be sold in the next sur
plus property auction sale held at that
station.
Friday evening the train stopped at
Castroville to re-fuel, but there was not
enough gasoline in the town TO fill the
tanks of all the trucks. Consequently,
the entire train spent the night there,
waiting for fuel to be sent from the
General Area Depot
1t was said that most of the trucks
composing the train will be taken over
by the Motor Transport Service at Fort
Sam Houston, but some Of them will re-
turn to Columbus, New Mexico.
The trip from New Mexico required
more than week.

TRANSFER MURDER CASE
Bexar Courts 10 Hear Case From South
Texas.

Through a change in venue Bexar
county has fallen heir to a murder case
which has been engaging the attention
OF the courts of South Texas for the
last two years. This was disclosed Sat
urday when Clark A. W. Harlos OF the
Thirty.seyenth District Court received
the transcript in the case of Felix Lat
son, charged by Indictment in Goliad
county with the murder of Oliver Ellis.
The killing occurred on August 10, 1920.
The history OF the case reveals the
fact that Latson first went to trial in
Goliad county where the killing &C.
Cured. A mistrial resulted and the
case then went to Dewitt county on q
change of venue. On January p, 1921,
q plea Of the district attorney TO jurls-
diction was sustained by the Dewitt
county judge and the case went back to
Goliad county.
On January 1. 1928, an agreement
was reached to change the venue from
Goliad to Bexar and the case will be
tried here. No setting has as yet been
made. According to the record in the
case Latson was placed under a $1,000
recognizance bond to appear before the
Judge of the Thirty-seventh District
Court in Bexar county on February 10.
He will then be required to make a new
bond here. Already there have been
three special venires drawn in this case
and still another must be drawn when
the case Is set for trial here.
