PERSONAL AND LOCAL
~ A
Mr. H. S. Wigle has opened
handsomely appointed offices in
the Mclntyre building for the
purpose ot conducting a fire and
life insurance business, having
purchased a half interest in J. H.
Derrick's fire agency. Mr. Wi-
g|e * ill also handle real estate and
a line ot choice stocks and bonds.
His offices are among the hand-
somest in West Texas and we
predict for him a fine business, as
he is an all around hustler and a
capable and popular business
man. Read his advertisement
which appears in this week's issue.
Rev. S. E. Allison went to El
Paso Tuesday to meet Mrs. Alli-
son on her return from Santiago,
California, where she was called to
the bedside of her sister, Mrs. C.
H. Jackson, who was and is still
quite ill. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson
will accompany Rev. and Mrs.
Allison home, Mrs. Jackson to
remain with them while Mr.
Jackson will go to Albuquerque,
New Mexico, to accept a position
as a head clerk in a big depart-
ment store,
The Avalanche takes pleasure
in calling attention to the an-
nouncement of Mr. H. C. Atch-
ison and Mr. J. A. Biggs, which
appear in this week's issue. Both
of these gentlemen are now rep-
resenting their respective districts
as commissioner, and they refer to
their past records as one of the
claims they have for asking for re-
election.
Rev. Allison received the sad
news last week of the death of his
youngest sister, Mrs. Georgia,
who suddenly passed away in
Georgia, his old home State.
The lady was ill only 36 hours
and Rev. Allison was not aware
of it until her death. She leaves
a large family of children.

One night last week Deputy
Sheriff Eura Phelps had an expe-
rience that was anything but
pleasant. He says that after mid-
night some parties came to his
residence with the request that he
go across the track and quiet
some parties who were drunk and
disturbing the community. Mr.
go toward paying for the new pi- Phelps states that before dcessing
ano recently purchased by the he stepped to the back door to
Grove. Everyone will get their go on the porch and get a drink
money's worth, as there are no of water. Just as he started to
dead parts in the whole play.
The Avalanche this week con-
tains the announcement of Mr.
R. D. Shields for the office of city
marshal of Alpine. Mr. Shields
is a new citizen in Alpine but has
made many friends since coming
here who appreciate his worth.
At the recent mass meeting, held
for the purpose of nominating city
officers, he was selected by a large
vote for the position he now holds
and which he again asks tor. Ot
one thing you can rest assured, if
he is elected the law will be en-
forced.

known stockmen in Brewster
oounty and also one of the best
of fellows, announces this week

turn the knob the door opened
and a man confronted him. "For
the moment, I don't know which
one of us was the most startled,"
said Mr. Phelps." "Before I
hardly had time to think the door
was slammed in my face and be-
fore I could again get it open,
the man had escaped."
The question that has bothered
him is whether the intruder was
only a midnight prowler or wheth-
er he came there with a more se-
rious intent.
