Damages For Chicken Raiding.
The Passing of the Comrades.
They arc answering the roll-call on the shadowy fields of Death
The roster's being lessened and the ranks are growing thin.
'The fervor of devoted hearts they to their country gave
When youth was at its brightest and life had highest worth.
They are passing they are passing the valiant and the true
Enlisting in eternal ranks the new-made graves will tell
They are passing they are passing oft is heard the sad tattoo
And the solemn echoing volley with its message of farewell."

A subscriber asks The News
if there is any rule of law that
would protect his growing crops
from the ravages of several hun-
dred chickens the property
of a nabor.
Aside from the Common Law
which gives a remedy in dama-
ages for all manner of trespass
or destruction of property.
whether by man beast or what-
not The News is inclined to the
belief that on chickens and their
behavior good or bad the
Statutes of the State are silent.
Subscriber's remedy then
strictly within the law is a civil
action for damages against the
owner calling into play as a basis
for the suit the general princi
ples of the Common Law.
Aside from both statute and
common law there are otner
well established practices in
Texas as to chickens when
found continually as trespass-
ers. One of these and a very
effective one too when considered
necessary to stop their depreda-
tions is to "put them in the pot."
Our friend might try this pot
recipe it has The News guarantee-
back of it and invite the
editor to inspect the remains at
which time and place a further
discussion of this interesting
subject may be had.
W. I. Todd of Tulia was a vis-
itor in town this week.
Cyrus Eakinan and wife ar-
rived here Wednesday.
Several Amarillo lawyers at-
tending court this week.
T. C. Thompson's son Clar-
ence who has been seriously ill
for some time is convalescent.
Keiser Pros. & Phillips are
having their office building re-
painted and using a darker color
than at first.
Miss Pattie Casseday writes
that she will return here in two
or three weeks to resume her
class in music.
L. G. Wilson of Plainview is
here this week attending court.
He says his poor health forced
him to (piit the practice of law.
Frank Jordan is in trouble at
Denver Colorado over an at-
tempt to cash paper on an Am
arillo bank to amount of seven
thousand dollars. He is also
charged with realizing on other
fraudulent paper for smaller
sums.
. The thanks of The News office
is extended to Mrs. 1$. Frank
Puie for a basket of tine large
peaches and plums. Some of
the peaches would have meas-
ured ten inches and the plums
were the large yellow variety.
They were grown in the Buie
orchard in North Canyon.
A Gift.'
Some navvies in a railway car-
riage were once in loud conversa
tion swearing boisterously the
.while. One of them was espe
ciallv fluent.
"My friend"' said another pas
senger in shocked tones when
did you learn such language?
"Learn?" cried the navvy
"You can't learn it. guv'nor. It"
a gift that's wot it is." - Dundee
Advertiser.
Of "cuss words" one writer
has said: "Ordinarily we know
from what country most people
come by the language they use;
i but in case of the swearer it's
different he uses the language
of the country to which he is going.''
