A few seconds after the car whirled
into the Burr road, Benavides was told
to stop the car. As the car brakes
were applied and the motor thrown

heavy blow over the head with some
blunt instrument. He was unable to

GALVESTON INTERESTS
SEEK GAS FRANCHISE
FROM CORPUS CHRISTI
Action on Application to
Be Taken at Meeting
Friday Night.

Corpus Christi, Tex, April H.
The natural gas question is before
the people of Corpus Christi again,
this time in the form of an applica-
ton for a franchise TO be made by
Galveston interests, asking that per-
mission be granted to distribute nat
ural gas from the White Point field.
1t is understood that the franchise is
to be made by representatives Of w.
l.. Moody interests of Galveston.
The city has long been opposed to
the old Corpus Christi gas company
distributing gas in Corpus Christi,
and particularly so since the city adj
ministration issued $3.50, 900 in bonds
to install a municipal system. When
it was seen that the municipal system
was to be installed. the old gas COM
pany fastened work to bring gas in
from the White Point field. locared
on the north side of Nueces Bay. The
city then obtained an injunction
against the company laying mains
within the city limits. The injunc-
ton has gone through the courts and
has been upheld in every instance, the
latest tangle being the declaration that
Judge A. w. Cunningham of the
Criminal District Court. had no juris-
diction in the case. Judge Cunning
ham issued a mandamus to compel
the city to grant permission to the
gas company to lay mains within the
city limits. The city then obtained
an injunction to prevent Judge Cum
ningham from hearing the mandamus
proceedings. This injunction was
granted by w. B. Hopkins Of the
Twenty eighth Judicial Court, and his
ruling was sustained by the Fourth
Court of Civic Appeals. !.
Generally, the citizens are opposed
to the granting of the franchise in
view of the fact that it is intimated
a higher rate than that charged by
the city would be asked. The city
is now selling natural gas for 80

How Fat Actress
Was Made Slim

Many stage people now depend en-
tirely upon Marmola Prescription
Tablets for reducing and controlling
fat. One clever actress tells that she
reduced steadily and easily by using
this new form of the famous Marmola
Prescription, and now. by taking Mar
mola Prescription Tablets several
times a year, keeps her weight just
right. All good druggists sell Marmola
Prescription Tablets at one dollar for
a box or if you prefer you can Sc
cure them direct from the Marmola
Co., 1912 Woodward Ave-, Detroit,
Mich. If you have not tried them
do so. They are harmless and effec-
tive.

cents a thousand, with a low indus
trial rate Of 10 cents.
The proposed application points out
that It will be of benefit to the city
to have connection with two fields
in the event that the wells now sup
plying the municipal system would
become choked. In case the present
wells become exhausted the White
Point gas would be sold to the city Mt
rate low enough to protect the city.
The same arrangement is. proposed in
case the White Point gas would be-
come insufficient for local demands.
The application for the franchise
will come before the city commission
crs at their meeting Friday. night.

hicle tax money is tucked away
against a settlement day on county
reimbursement bonds for state trunk
highway improvements, also the
amount necessary to pay 1924 in
terest on that assumed debt.
Car and truck taxes estimated at
$8,000,000 this year, the division of
the 1924 trunk highway fund was
made public this week by Ray P.
Chase, state auditor, Henry Rines,
state treasurer, and Charles M.
Babcock, state highway commission
er. AS required by law, $150,000
was designated for highway depart
ment salaries, office and other over
head expenses, and 40 per cent of
the Remaining auto tax records for
1924 maintenance Of the 1000 miles
of trunk routes. The county REIN
bursements bond allowances were
81 100000 for current interest and
81, 794,00 for the sinking fund to
meet principal payment when due.
The 1923 allowance added, the trunk
highway sinking fund now totals
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1924-04-17

$2,000,000. Another item was ST.
$50, 900 to meet federal aid.
The sinking fund cash was turned
over to the state board of investment
to be loaned to school districts, cities
and towns, or placed in other appraved
public securities. These loans will
disclose the net interest cost of money
borrowed for state trunk highway i'm
provements-the difference in inter-
est rates on loans to the state and by
the state. That will reveal the net
cash carrying charge on money bor-
rowed for needed highway improve
ments. Such improvements are cred
tied with making great reductions in
maintenance expenses and liberal saw
ings to trunk highway taxpayers on
car operating costs.
Although it was stated that returns
would be far greater if the money was
used to extend highway improve
ments, the ALLEGATION board agreed
that conservative policy was war
ranted and voted accordingly for the
the liberal sinking fund allowance.

Some of the most talented wide

appear in Paramount's new picture,
'"Salomy jane" a George Melford
production based on the famous story
by Bret Harte, which will be the fea-
ture at the Caughren Theatre for two
days, beginning Friday April 25th.
Jacqueline Logan, a former Follies
girl, plays the name role. Her love
of the great out-of-doors particularly
adapted her for this photoplay of pio-
neer life in California in the days of
'49. Many human touches of quaint
humor are woven into the fabric of
this romantic screen play by George
Fawcett, who plays the role of "Yuba
Bill" stage-coach driver.
Maurice Flynn, Yale graduate and
college athlete, takes the part of "The
Man," a stranger in the little mining
settlement whose mission is unknown
and who in a scene of gripping TRACE
dy becomes the sweetheart Of Salomy
Jane.
''The Man" is accused of holding
up the stage-coach and is about to be
led away to be hanged by the Vigil
antes when Salomy Jane, moved by 8
strange impulse, kisses him goodbye
Red Pete, proven to be one of the
hold-up men, is hanged but the strang-
er escapes. On returning to thank
Salomy for her kindness, he meets an
old enemy, Baldwin.
In the fight, Baldwin is shot from
ambush by another man. Salomy lends
the stranger some of her fathers
clothes that he may get out of the
country. This leads Larabee, an enc
my of Salomy James father, to shoot
at the stranger. Larabee is killed by
bullet from the strangers rifle. AS
he dies, he confesses that Baldwin
now dead, was Red Pete's partner in
the stage robbery.
The action is swift from start to
finish. The supporting cast is excel
lent and includes such favorites as

Keep EN-" "We must ask every
world war veteran to unite with us in
the Legion in memory of the thou

not be in vain. We must carry on
