BORDER ARENA

The fur is bound to fly at the Ca
lexico arena tonight when Tony
Ealderama. clever Filipino fighter
and former navy champion, meets
Raymond Montoya of Brawley in
the last half Of a double main
event.
Last week these. two boys met in
a six rounder, Montoya taking the
decision after an uphill battle. Val
derama had taken the fight at short
notice, substituting for johnny Lee
and asserted aftcrward that he was
not in condition. He immediately
challenged for a return bout and it
was arranged for tonight. The boys
will step over the 10 round route.
The first half of the double main
event will bring together Toby
Montoya, and Homer Gaines. 1t ap-
pears that Montoya is not related

Tackett Offers
To Pick Team

4 challenge that may result in an
inter-league indoor baseball game
some Sunday afternoon in the near
future was issued yesterday.
1t was Chip Tacrett dispcn-
ser of traffic tickets and the "Babe
Ruth = Of the American circuit, that
did the broadcasting.
eyes sir, I'll bet you anything
up to my motorcycle, that l can
pick a team from the American
league that will trounce any 10 men
the FL Centre league can put on the
field
And from the way Bill talked
he'll risk at least a spare tire and
maybe one of the several headlights
on his speed contraption on the
contest. With this in view the E]
Centre league Youngsters have
prickcd up their ears and become
interested so it is very possible that
n conference will be held within a
few days to decide who'll do the
picking for the FL Centrans.
Bill admitted that his league had
got much the worst of the two
"All-Star" contests wagcd be-
tween seasons but he ended with
the remark:
81 didn t do the picking.'
Due to the fact that the game
played on either OF the lighted
fields in the city would kc an ad-
vantage to the home PLAYERS, the
game will probably be played on
the cast side field on Il Sunday af-
tcrnoon. Sunday, March %, has
been set rs Il probable date for the
encounter.
With the hoys battling for blood
the contest should prove one of the
tightest indoor tusslcs waged in the
city this year.

Old Negro Killed At
Pickens When Pistol
Fires Accidentally

Robert Frizell, white man living at
Durant, was brought to Lexington last
Thursday night and placed in Jail by
Mayor McKie and Marshal Walter Muir
tagh, of Pickens, following the killing
Of an old negro of that place, Mann
Lashley that afternoon said to have
been accidental according to reports
made to the arresting officers.
Reports state that Frizell, in company
with negro boy had gone to the old
negro's home to deliver hound puppy,
that was due him in dog transaction,
and as the two reached Lashley's house,
across the railroad on the main high
way, rain necessitated their going in
the house. Lashley was informed that
there was a small charge Of fifty cents
expressage on the pup, and he refused
to pay it. As soon as the rain checked
the party decided to return and the
negro boy was instructed to carry the
puppy back to the car. At this jucnc
ture, Lashley is said to have resented
this action and made the remark "tha1
folks hsd run over him long enough
He started for his pistol and Lashley'a
wife requested the white man to stop
him before he hurt somebody. Reaching
MIN JUST as ne pickeO up Cne gun, IL
fired, the old negro running to the gal
lery, where he fell dead. The negro
boy at the car hearing the shooting
which occurred in the room of the
house, fled the scene and has not been
heard Of since.
Officers investigating the affair, took
Robert Frizell in custody and carried
him to Lexington where he is lodged in
Jail awaiting further investigation. A
quart fruit jar about half-full of whis-
key, was found in Frizell's car after
wards, and this was also turned over
to Sheriff w. L. Ellis by Mayor McKie.
A hearing Tuesday morning at Lex
ington. before Judges w. r. Tate and
C. X. Reid, was held and Robert Frizell
was dismissed of any charges in con-
nection with the death of the negro,
Mann Lashley. One Of the main wit
nessess, an old negro woman, widow
Of the slain negro, corroborated in
the statements made by Robert Frizell.
Defendant was represented by w. G.

Black Creek Bridge
To Have Steel Runway

One of the finest improvements made
to highway in Road District No. l,
was planned the past week by Supervisor
Jesse H. Walton, who let contract to
the Mississippi Road Supply Co., of West
Jackson, for steel runway on the
double trackage Of the Black creek
bridge south of Lexington.
This runway made of thick steel will
be 18 inches wide, and run the entire
length of the bridge on both avenues
or passage ways Of the structure. Ac-
cording to leading bridge builders, the
addition will care for traffic without
the usual wear and tear Of travel, as
wooden run-ways are short lived and
will not stand the constant abuse Of
heavy usage. The steel run-ways will
also serve to speed up traffic and after

County School Board
Hears Two Petitioners;
Schools Begin Sept. 10

At call meeting of the Holmes
County School Board, held in the office
of the superintendent of education Fri-
day, July 13, at p. M, the superinT
tendent of education was authorized to
open the white schools of the county,
Monday September 10, and the colored
schools Monday, September "a.
The meeting Of the board was spec
ially called to consider petitions of the
patrons of the Harmony Consolidated
School District asking for the release
of certain territory from said district.
Upon careful examination Of the petit
tions it was learned that the petitions
fell far short of majority of the quail
flied electors Of the district. The Law
requires that the boundaries of school
district, levying a special tax, can only
be changed upon a petition Of a major
| ity of the qualified electors of the dist
rict. Therefore upon this authority, the
board ordered that the boundaries Of
the Harmony Consolidated School Dist
rict remain as they have heretofore ex-
listed. The xoxsTs attempt WAS ma4e ~
the same patrons last year to get re-
leased from the district with the same
result as this year.
There also were some people from
Thornton before the school board ask
ing that the board rescind an order
passed at the regular meeting in June.
But the board took the position that it
had authority to act on the boundaries
of school districts only when petitioned
by majority Of the qualified electors
of the district. Therefore, the new
Tchula Consolidated school district re-
mains the same as organized in June.
so far as the school board is concerned.
It will be recalled that at the meeting
in June the Tchula district as it has
heretofore existed was dissolved and .
new consolidated district organized.
which includes all the territory to the
Yazoo county line.
