Putting God In the Nations Life.
II concede at once that my pre-

how religion had figured in early
history of the United States.

power, commercialism. and the
amazingly low estimate OF human
life.

After many years Of fruitless x
ploration on the Isthmus, the Gulf
Oil company has decided to aban-
don the Isthmian field and has for
mally asked for a cancellation of the

HUMBER DEATH
MOTIVE SEEN

"A feud over construction Of a levee
during the rise in the Rio Grande
was seen here today as a possible
cause Of Charles Numbers murder.
This lead was developed BY the sher-
ifs department after 1t had ques-
toned the dead mans widow con-
corning his business and personal
affairs.
Humber was found in his bed
Tuesday morning with a charge OF
buckshot through the base of his
skull. No n was in the house with
him during the night.
The sheriff's department trailed
tracks from the banks OF the Rio
Grande 10 the small window through
which Humber was shot and back
TO the river.
Trouble Related
Mrs. Humber, who was in Mexico
on the night Of the Staying, told
deputy sheriffs of recent trouble
the murdered man had concerning
the construction Of a levee on the
Mexican side of the river.
The man owning the. property OBJ
iected to construction OF the levee,
but permission was obtained from
Matamoros authorities to throw up
a dirt embankment to hold the river
within it's banks. According 70 the
widow, Humber got into an alterca-
ton with a man, or men, who were
endeavoring 70 break the newly con-
structed levee.
Body Held
Officers are working on the theory
that this affair and the desire for
revenge led to Numbers Staying.
Matamoros authorities are Coop
Grating fully with the shertff's de-
partment in a vigorous search for
the men believed 10 have committed
the murder.
