DEPORT, LAMAR COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 22, 1924
NUMBER 3
Experience Is Very
Expensive Sometimes
Every now and then the thief and
the purse grabber teaches some one
the folly of keeping money at home
—or carrying it around on his person.
The good business man takes no
risks
—he keeps his money in the bank
—and pays his bills by check.

IMERICAN LEGION MEET
IN INTEREST OF BONUS
Considerable excitement was
created in this community Fri*
dry night by a dog that waa suf-
fering with rabies. It first made
ita appearance at the home of
Fred Shuman, south of Deport.
It attacked Mr. Shuman’s dog,
and was shot, the charge killing
his dog, but did not appear to
affect the mad dog.
It made ita escape toward
Deport, and Mr. Shuman tele
phoned in to the telephone oper-
ator to warn the people. Most
of our citizens were attending
the American Legion meeting at
the school auditorium, and the
dog spent the night visiting dif-
ferent places and fighting with
the dogs it encountered. 80 far
as we have been able to learn,
nothing hut dogs were attacked.
The dog visited the home of
Sam Hearn northwest of Deport,
and gave battle to the Hearn dog,
but was driven . away. Mr.
Hearn’s dog spent the night on a
rug on the gallery and the next
morning Mr. Hearn, who had
several bruised places on his
hands, shook the rug to bring it
in. Fearing inocculation thru
the broken skin from the rug,
he consulted medical authorities,
who advised him to take the
Pasteur treatment, and he is
doing so. It is being adminis
tered by a local physician.
After fighting with numerous
dogs in Deport Friday night, the
mad animal headed towards
Halesboro, where it was klled on
Juo. G. Wright’s place about
noon Saturday. Dalton Steele
carried the dog’s head to Rugby
and J no. G. Wright brought it
from there to Deport, whore it
was shipped to Austin for exam-
ination.
A telegram was received Mon-
day stating the dog was suffer-
ing with rabies, and a meeting of
the City Council was called at
the First State Bank and citizens
of the town invited to meet with
the Council to decide what should
be done. There were about
eighty present, and after lengthy
discussion, it was decided to kill
all dogs known to have been at-
ttCKcd by the mad dog, to keep
ail dogs up for sixty days, and
to kill all dogs seen on the
streets.
There have been about thirty-
five dogs killed by City Marshal
Nobles since Monday. Some of
them were valuable animals,
while others were street roamers
and worthless.
A dog is also reported to have
bitten a great many dogs in the
Fulbriglit neighborhood about
the same time. It was killed,
but since the people were divid-
ed in their opinions as to wheth-
er it was the same one that
visited Deport, its head was not
sent to Austin.
The Winfield F. Brown PoBt
No. BO of the American Legion of
Paris and representatives from
the posts of Bogata, Fulbright,
Blossom and Clarksville were’
the guests of the local post at
the high school auditorium Fri
day evening. The Paris Post
had arranged an interesting pro
gram of readings and music, and
an orchestra from that place
furnished music throughout the
evening. The local post refresh
ed the visitors with punch *and
sandwiches. The bonus bill,
which is now pending in con-
gress, was discussed by Judge
C. R. West, Wyatt Baldwin and
George P. Blackburn. Dr. Steph
ens, post commander of the
Paris L>gion, thanked the people
of Deport for their hospitality,
and called for a vote on the
bonus question. The vote was
unanimous for the bill, and after
the meeting telegrams wero^sent
to Congressman Eugene Black
and Senators Sheppard and
Mayfield, petitioning their sup-
port for the passage of the bonus
bill.
Senators Sheppard and May
field and Congressman Black
replied to the telegrams by wire,
staling they would support the
bonus bill, even if it was neces-
sary to do it in overriding Presi
dent Coolidge’s veto.
