BRIEF OUTLINE OF
TEXAS GAME LAWS
SUNDAY WAS BIG
DAY FOR KNIGHTS
Deputy Game Warden Louis
Evans of this city has given the
News the following brief outline
of the game laws of Texas, that
should be read and observed by
every one who contemplates
hunting outside the county—oi
in the coumty for that matter
—this fall and winter.
You have the right to hunt
in the county of your residence
without a liscense, but as in pre-
vious years ,you cannot hum
in an adjoining county (not
even over the line) without a li-
cense which will cost you $2.00.
Followig is the open season
for the game mentioned:
Doves and Mexican White
Winged Pigeons; Sept. 1 to
December 15; bag limit 15 birds
per day.
Quail: Dec. 1 to Jan. 31: bag
limit 15 birds per day.
Duck, Plover, Snipe,
and Brant: October 16 to Jan.
31; Bag limit: Duck, 25 per

Wild Turkey: Nov. 1 to Dec.

umerated, where special laws
have been enacted. Bag limit
three gobblers per season; kill-
ing of hens prohibited.

West Council, Knights of Col
umbus, initiated a class of al
most half a hundred candidates urnter the big
into the mysteries of the order
last Sunday afternoon, this be-
ing the first initiation since the
installation of the council on
July 28.
The forenoon was devoted to
attending the 7:30 and 10:00
o’clock Masses. After the 7:30
mass, the members and candi-
dates assembled at the hall, and
at 9:30, preceded by a member
bearing a United States flag,
marched to- the church for the
liigh Mass, which was celebra-
ted by Rev. F. J. Kune. After
the reading of the Gospel, Rev.
Geese Budnik delivered a very impres-
sive sermon, which was given
the closest attention by all.
Shortly after noon the can-
didates again assembled at the
hall and were prepared for the
initiation in thev first degree,
which was impressively con-
ferred by the degree team of
the Waco Council, the work
starting at 3 o’clock.
On next Sunday, September
11, the same class will have the
second degree conferred upon
That Bobby Warren and his
company of dramatic entertain-
|ers have lost none of their well
j earned popularity, is evidenced
by the large crowds who, each
! night this week, 'have gathered
o mvas to enjoy
the repertoire of high class
plays and clean, laugh-producing
specialties between the acts.
Like old wine, Bobby Warren
seems to grow better with'age,
and if possible, his comedy this
year is better than it has ever
been before. This seems to be
the general consensus of opin-
ion of all those who have at-
tended the entertaiments.
This excellent company will
close its engagements in this
city tomorrow night, with a

at 3 o clock.

and they are all agreed „that in
these two branches lies the so-

Burglars are Busy
Burglars are again active in
the smaller towns in this sec-
tion, and so far as known no
clues have been left by which
the guilty parties may be ap-
prehended. On last Sunday
night burglars entered the
Lev.V store at Penelope by break
ing a plate glass window, and
succeeded in making away witli
several hundred dollars wortn
of the finest goods in the house.
The loot in part, consisted of
fine silk dresses, silk skirts and
waists and hosiery.
On Tuesday night the store
of J. L. Jones at Ross was en-
tered and $50 in cash taken,
together with a lot of goods,
the value of which had not been
fully estimated when the report
reached the officers.

All the action heretofore had
on extending the West Indepen-
dent School District and vot-
ing bonds for the erection of a
new high school building has
been declared null and void by
Assistant Attorney General Nu-
gent, who examined the records
last Saturday in Austin.
In the first place, there is no
such thing as West “Indepen-
dent School District,” but we
have here a “City Independent
School District,” created by
an act of the legislature, and
the city limits can be extended
only by act of the City Com-
mission and not by the School
Board.
Further, the order for the
bond election had a double
meaning. It stated that it was
for the purpose of building and
equipping a high school build-
ing and paying off an outstand-
ing indebtedness of $10,000. It
[was shown by the records that
! this indebtedness is a debt
against the city, and no part
■ of a bond issue, when voted in
extended territory, can be us-
jed for the payment of a city
debt. This being the case, the
recent extending of the school
district and the voting of bonds
was illegal and must all be done
over again.
Under the provisions of the
act by which the city district
was created, the city limits can
be extended “for school pur-
poses only,” to take in the ter-
ritory named in the recent pe-
tition. And with this end in
view, the school board on last
Tuesday night met with the
city commission to discuss cer-
tain plans for extending the
district (or city limits for school
purposes only) under this spe-
cial act. This will be done by
petition just as in the former
case, except that the petition
will be addressed to the city
commission instead of the school
board. This action will be tak-
en at once, and it is hoped that
there will be no unnecessary de-
lay in the consummation of the
plans, sinde it seems that the
present school building will be
crowded this year to a greater
extent than ever before.
ST. MARY’ SSCHOOL
WILL OPEN MONDAY
Announcement is made that St.
Mary’s Catholic School will open
in this city on next Monday,
September 12, with six efficient
teachers in charge. Three of
the teachers who were here
last year will return this year,
while the other three come from
the teachers college at San An-
tonio, where they receive sev-
eral years thorough training for
their work.
It is desired that every pupO
who intends to attend thi4
school the coming year will be
on hand promptly Monday
morning, so that they may b«
properly classified and placed
in the proper grades. Much
better results will follow if
every pupil starts in on the first
day and attends regularly.

Painful Injury
J. T. Bennett, late last Satur-
day evening, met with an acci-
dent that might have proven
very serious, but by prompt
medical attention has resulted
only in laying him up for a few
days. While doing the chores
about the premises, he stepped
on a board thru which a rusty
8-penny nail pnotnuded. The
nail went thru the sole of his
shoe, and penetrated the foot
to almost a half inch. The in-
jury is now healing, and Mr.
Bennett will soon be out again.
