Constable’s Pistol Located
i •
Loses Two Children
Constable Murrell ot the De-
port precinct has arrested a
young man who lives near Min-
ter and placed him'in jail on the
charge of the theft of a pistol by
conversion. It is claimed that
the pistol was taken from the
constable himself, <before he was
an officer and while the defend-
ant was working on his farm last
February. Constable Murrell
says that while he was in the
field sowing oats a rabbit jumped
up and he shot at it, which
caused the team to run away.
While he was trying to head them
off he lost the pistol. When ho
discovered the loss he got three
or four other men, including the
defendant, to help him hunt over
the field for it. It is claimed the
defendant found and slipped it in-
to his pocket without saying any-
thing about it. A few days ago
another person told Constable
Murrell that the defendant had
the pistol.
The Herald learns the follow-
ing facts about John Custer and
family which will interest many
of the readers of tins paper, of
which he was editor and publish-
er for about twenty years: The
oldest daughter, Miss Naomi
Custer, recently died of fib. She
was to have been married short-
ly. The oldest son, Richard,
joined the navy last summer,
and after four months’ training
at Great Lakes, Illinois, he was
started to Europe via San Fran-
cisco, and when his vessel reach-
ed Honolulu he was accidentally
killed. We also learn that Mr:
Custer has built a $6,000 home
at Plano, and Mrs. Custer has
moved from Dallas and joined
him. Mr. Custer is now the
editor and publisher of the Plano
Star.—Detroit Herald.

Dipping Vats for Lamar
Falls Thru Bridge
While Mr. Hensley, a farmer,
was driving over the Bentley
bridge across Brushy creek near
Milton on thq old Jefferson road
last Friday with a load of wood,
the bridge collapsed and he and
the team and wagon and a boy
were let down about twelve feet
into the water which was quite
deep at that place, but nobody
was hurt and nobody drowned
The boy got a ducking but swam
out. The wagon was still in the
water at last account.
Roddy Moves to Deport
i Boyd Roddy has sold his farm
of 55 acres at Milton to Clarence
Jeffus f9r $11,500, and purchased
from P. C. Grant 58 acres near
Roundup and 128 acres on
Brushy. The consideration was
$18,575. Mr.Grant is' moving to
the home of jijs father tempo-
rarily, and Mr. Roddy has
moved to the place vacated.
As has been heretofore stated,
Lamar county will attempt to
comply with the law passed by
the 35th legislature relative to
the dipping of cattle. One of the
commissioners has stated that
there would be forty or more
vats built in the county; perhaps
one in each voting precinct af’an
accessible place, and that if any
person wanted one of these vats
near his place, it would be of in-'
terest to him to meet the com-
missioners in Paris next Satnr
day, at which time they expect
to be in session.
Reviews Mail Service
Reviewing the splendid mail
service received by the people
residing along the P. & Mt. P.,
the Bogata News says: "The
people down here at Bogata pur-
sue the even tenor of our way
and are glad when we get three
consocutiveissue^or a~da»Iyioa
per at one time. > Whem they fail
to come, y?e get out jour almanac
of the 1800 vintage, rehearse the
jokes famous when "Noah built
de ark,’’ or call a special meeting
of the Civic Kiln Club to cousid
er the question, "How not to
worry when the train is in the
ditch.”
Many Changes in Town
Lieut. Whitten and little daugh
ter were here the first of the
week for a visit with Miss Lois
Jeffus. Lieut. Whitten is a for
mer Deport boy, but has been
away for eighteen years. After
leaving Deport he studied den-
tistry at Atlanta, Ga., and has
been practicing in Mississippi.
He is now stationed at Camp
Pike, Ark. He spoke of the
many changes in the town since
he resided here, and expressed
surprise when informed that the
town possessed a newspaper.
Saw German Surrender
C. M. Hickey, a radio operator
on the U. S. 8. Wyoming, came
to Deport recently for a visit
with his aunt, Mrs. J. L. Adams
The Wyoming was one of the war
vessels that formed the receiv
ing line for the surrender of the
German navy. Young Hickey
tells a wonderful story of-
t h a t history-making incident.
Every man was at his gun, and
had the Germans made a crooked
move, what to do with the cap
tured vessels would not now be
a question.
Former Blossom Publisher Dead
Joe T. Green, formerly pub-
lisher of the Blossom Bee, and
known to many people of Lamar
county, died at his home! in Ar-
lington last Sunday. Burial was
made at Lancaster, in which town
he formerly published a news-
paper. He was the father of
Cbas. M. Green, a former em-
ploye in this office, who le now
with the army in France. In
year* of service Air. Green was
one of the olgu^ewspaper men
in
Lieut Gryan VT. Webb and
Mrs. Lena Maude Johnston were
united in marriage at the home
of the bride i n Archer City
Thursday evening of last week,
Rev. W. R. McCarter, father of
the bride, officiating. This has
been expected by friends of the
happy people since Lieut. Webb’s
return from Madison, Wis. They
became acquainted during the
time Rev. McCarter served the
local church. The bride is an
attractive young lady, an accom-
plished musician, and a graduate
of Kidd-Key. The groom is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Webb

School, and was attending Wes-
ley College when selected to at-
tend an officers training school
for the S. A. T. C. He received
his commission and was station-
ed at the University of Wisconsin
at Madison. He received his
discharge just before Christmas.
They will make their home in
Koxton, where he has a position
with the Hargraves Drug Co.
Their many friends join The
Times in wishing them many
yeais of happy married life.
Brewery Money for Farmers
Union >
According to the testimony of
A. J. Arnold—yes, we all remem-
ber Arnold—the Texas Farmer’s
Union received many thousands
of dottttrs from brewers, most
of which was spent in manufac-
turing plate matter and sent out
to weekly newspapers. The
Times did not print an inch of it,
unlegs carefully edited, and it
finally became so rotten that we
ordered the plate house to dis-
continue shipping the stuff. The
order was disregarded, and in a
few days another batch was re-
ceived. We shipped it to Mr.
Arnold at Ft. Worth, express
collect, and were not troubled
with further drayage bills.
