KILLED XMAS EVE-... th.

Information haa been received
in the city that Leland Tabler, a
former resident of Hereford, was
killed on Chritsmas Eve at Kan-
sas City in an automobile acci-
dent. It seems that while out
driving the automobile lights jer
went out and the machine plung-
ed into an eight-foot culvert.
Many local people remember
the unfortunate young man as

If a dwelling carries £5,000 in-
surance, under the old rate the
premium would have been $13.00.
and under the new rate only
$8.50. A little mental calculation
