The Avalanche sincerely hopes
that in the near future, a direct
road leading to the Jordan mar-
ble quarry may be built. While
the fact that the county is now

ed, yet the new year is approach-
ing and there Is no reason why
this much needed improvement
should not be made.
It means the addition pf hun-

Deaths! Mbs Mabel O’Malior
Again within the week the
Avalanche is called on to an
nouncethe death of one of its
younger citizens, and when the
news passed from mouth to
mouth last Sunday that Miss
Mable O'Malior. the 18 year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Anderson, was dead, there were
numerous expressions of sorrow.

Judge Van Sickle, Messrs J.
C. Bird and Lawrence Haley re-
turned Sunday from Austin.
Judge Van Sickli is receiving con-
gratulations upon his victory as
it was a hard fought battle. A
special from Austin dated Dec.
17th. says:
“The jury today returned a
verdict for the defendant in the
case of the State of Texas vs.
Lawrence Haley, , in which the
State sought to recover eight
sections of land in Brewster coun-
ty. This was the third trial of the
case, the two former resulting in
hung juries. The State may file
s motion for a new trial in the esse
and appeal to the higher courts it
it be denied. Upon the first
trial of his esse the jury stood 8 to
4 in favor of the State. Upon
the second trial it stood 10 to 2
for the State, and today it was un-
animous against the State. Out
of 36 jurors, 18 were for the State
18 against.”
