Aside from these occurrences
the court proceedings were about
of the usual order. The State
practically completed its evidence
and the defense offered several
witneses in sur-rebuttal.
Records from the Amarillo tele-
phone office were introduced to
show there had been numerous
long-distance conversations be-
tween members of the Boyce fam-
ily at Amarilla and Dalhart dur-

The defense endeavored to in-
troduce witnesses in support of
the insanity theory, but the State
objected and a legal battle ensued
with the jury absent.

The San Angelo Standard of
the 17th states that N. J. O’Brien
had just returned from a confer-
ence with the other officials of the
)rient at Kansas City, and that
lie said, in an interview, that
track laying west of Granada
would soon be resumed and com-
pleted to Alpine. In this inter-
view Mr. O’Brien spoke in the
highest terms of Fort Stockton,
saying, it was the most enterpris-
ing town, off a railroad, in West
Texas. From all the information
we can gather, we think the track
will be completed to Fort Stock-
ton within CO to 90 days.

Something Doing in Fort
Stockton
Don’t you get awfully lonesome
and disgusted without anything
to do on Sundays i We have
often heard remarks to the effect
that there is nothing to do on
Sunday mornings in Fort Stock-
ton. You will be glad to learn,
that from now on, you will have a
place where you can go and be
assured you will find something
of interest. Here is our plan:
The Presbyterians are going to
organize a Sabbath school which
will meet every Sunday morning
at 9:30. As thL is the first step
towards the organization of our
bible study classes, we will be
glad to have all Presbyterians,
and those interested in Sunday
school work, present. We are
going to make this a great suc-
cess, both intellectually a n d
socially, and we guarantee that
you will not find a dull moment
during our short hour of study.
There will be no preaching Sun-
day morning, as we will worship
with the Methodists in their new
home. Sunday evening services
at 7:30; subject, “The Ascen-
sion.” Don’t forget the place,
and don’t forget your friends. All
services will ba h«*|J at llie adobe
church. John Kmn, Pastor.
Kentucky Club Meeting
Next Thursday evening at *
o’clock the Kentucky Club will
meet at the home of Geo. A. Sachse.
A program has been arranged by
the committee, and a good time
is promised to all who may be
there. There will be several new
member to be received, and every
Ex-Kentuckian in Fort Stockton
and Pecos county is especially in-
vited to be present. The Club
was formed purely for social in-
tercourse and and enjoyment and
we meet more as a family gather-
ing than anything else. Remem-
ber the date and please be on
hand.
E. Barry, President.
R. I). Blaydes, Secy.
