completely out of tune with

must hasten to offer apologies to
the members of the grand jury,
it the same time explain to
that no reflection was in-
on the efforts being put
forth. In reality what We meant
to get over in that story was a com-
pliment to Erath county citixena
because it appeared there was so
little for the jgry to attend to,
especially in reference to
long list of violations of the

QN the. other hand, there is al-
ways much detail for any grand
jury if one is to consider all the
routine they are called on to go
through with. There are odds and
ends, witnesses t^ be called, inves-
tigations to be made and many
other minor duties to com* up, yet
aO require time and patience for
proper disposal. Thus it would
seem that we did ge too far in
up that news story that
grand jury was idle. Unfor-
not a great

understand how newspapers get to-

ry and rush that is occasioned dur-

* mfarStbe "guide line” has either
been misplaced or fails to coincide
with the facts contained in the
story in question. Another thing
that is involved in headings, and
especially the particular type used
in the grand jury story, is that no
more than eleven letters can be
used in a line. Imagine then the di-

still we suspect that it was turned

that those misleading words sim-

gentlemen of the jury, there was

3000-Acre Block Being Sought
for a New Test Northaest
of Martin Well.
Cal Laney, pioneer oil delevop-
ment citixen of Duffau, stated in
Stephenville ’Thursday that plans
were fast maturing for another
test well to be drilled in the Duf-
fau country and that he had hopes
of being able to announce that a
3000 acre block would be complet-
ed within the next few days. Vir-
tually all land owners have already
signed up the necessary acreage,
while a tentative contract is up
ready to be signed when the leases
are forthcoming. The new test is
to be located somewhere northeast
of the Martin well drilled and com-
pleted last month and will go down
to a depth of 460 feet, if the terms
of the contract axe carried out.
working with Laney is L. F. Mar-
tin, another pioneer of the Duffau
country, and who is intensely in-
terested in seeing a complete pro-
gram of development carried out.
Reports from the Duffau coun-
try say that no test well in that
section of the county lias ever gone
lower than 3300 feel Land own-
ers want a deep test and are will-
ing to co-operate in every way to
get it. A heavy flow «f gas has
been encountered in practically ev-
ery well drilled in that territory at
depth of 8900 feet
ef the prospects for
ew test started at once
while here Thursday
no fears of everything
working out to the advantage of
land owners provided the leases
were signed up. He said further
that in his opinion the drilling con-
tractors were financially able to
carry out the terms of their agree-
ment and would go right ahead
with their plans as quickly as pos-
Just where the well will be lo-
cated is, of course,'a conjecture,
but from what has been learned it
would be somewhere about two
miles from any other test that has
betn drilled in that territory.
Hail and Windstorm Takes Heavy
Toll inErathCounty Thursday Night
More Gardens To
Enter Contest Which
Closes In July
Stephenville resident* are urged
to enter their yards and lower gar-
dens in the Garden Contest which
closes in July.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in this contest, which is one
of the yearly events put on by the
Garden Club.
The following gardens have al-
ready been entered in the contest:
Mrs. C. O. Blakeney, Mrs. B. C.
Pant, Mrs. H. A. MotWshead, Mrs.
Arch Evans, Mrs. H. H. Howell,
and Mrs W. P. Wilson. Other
names win probably be added to
the list next week as several have
signified their intention of entering
their gardens in the contest within
a feW days.
This move to beautify the homes
of Stephenville is far-reeching in
its effect and win be of wonderful
value to the city.
Everybody is asked to gather
and save their poppy, bluebonnet,
and larkspur seed for the Garden
Club members, who intend to scat-
ter them along the different high-
ways in the county.
Hail and windstorm took a heavy
toll in crop and property damage
in StephenviUe and E» ith county
Thursday night of last week, three
different sections of the county re-
porting extr emely heavy losses. At
Selden, Johnsville and other por-
tions of what is commonly known
as the heavy grain producing sec-
tion of the Southern portion of the
county one of the most prolific
grain crops in tiro history of that
section was totally ruined. Like-
wise at Purvis and Edna Hill, there
was heavy losses. North and north-
east of Lingleville many houses
were torn from their moorings and
the loss estimated at several thou-
sand dollars. Within the city lim-
its of StephenviUe the damage was
comparatively light, although many
trees were uprooted and other dam-
aging results noted. In the city
of Dublip extremely heavy losses
from hail and rain were reported.
Hail in and around Dublin was per-
haps as heavy qs it was in the Sel-
den country.
The cloud came up about seven
o’clock and caused no undue ex-
citement when it was first form-
ing. However, within a very few
minutes people all over the county
were running for storm cellars,
while those without aeeees to such
pieces of safety reconciled them-
selves with the hope the storm
would abate. Some reported plac-
ing the children under beds, in bath
i-ibs, getting underneath feather
beds and following other witch-
craft admonitions- Seemingly the
cloud split northwest of Stepben-
ville and went around the city. Had
it remained intact and had the
force of gathering power and mo-
mentum there is little doubt that
one of the most destructive cy-
clones in the history of this terri-
tory would have been the result.
At Corinth, northwest of Steph-
enville about six miles, Mrs. M. F.
Tolbert was painfully injured, while
Mrs. W. O. Watson, a daughter of
Mrs. Tolbert, received s broken col-
lar bone. A baby boy of Mrs. John
Alexander, who had stoped in the
Watson home when the storm was
at its height, was found an Vrneath
a mass of wreckage with a long
darning needle in his leg, forced
there from the effects of the storm.
A baby daughter was born to Mrs.
Watson early the following morn-
ing. The Watson home was almost
wholly wrecked. Mrs. Tolbert was
brought to the StephenviUe hospit-
al that night where she was given
emergency treatment.
Ernest Hickey, Lingleville gin-
ner, reported that many homes
were damaged in his part of the
county with perhaps the heaviest
losses being in the Shelby country.
Homes wrecked in that country, as
reported to the Empire-Tribune,
were those of W - A. Wood and his
two sons, Ceyburn and'G. R. Wood,
the letters being a complete wreck,
Albert Christian, W. R. Haynes,
Claud Latham, Jim Knight, A. L.
Keith, Chandler Bros, feed mill and
the blacksmith shop of Oliver Pry-
or. W. T. Laaham round one of his
bogs with a 2*4 timber blown
through its sidle. A large limb of
a-tree brought into Lingleville Sat-
urday wqs said to have been com-
pletely peeled of ell berk, almost
as it had been dressed by experts.
Other peculiar situations were re-
ported from all parts of the coun-
In Dublin the Utter-back A Har-
ris general store, K. P. building,
Higginbotham Bros- A Company
store, Reid Sales Company build-
ing and many other business bous-
es received heavy damage. The
Utterback A Harris roof was so
badly damaged that rain poured in
on merchandise on the lower floor,
causing heavy losses. T. S. Sul-
len her ger of the Dublin Progress,
stated Tuesday that a large per
cent of the houses in Dublin would
require new roofs. Most people in
Dublin had their losses covered by
tornado insurance, but there were
very few farmer* who bad protec-
tion of this kind.
In the western part of the coun-
ty the storm seemed to have tak-
en a trail from Highland to Cow
Creak, Dublin, Purvis, Edna Hill,
Graham Chapel, Wilson, and on to
Hasel Dell in Comanche county. In
the eastern portion, or the central
part, Johnsville and Selden seem-
ed to be in the direct path of the
twister and hail Dave Garner,
Selden farmer, perhaps was the
heaviest loser in that section, haw-
ing almost 800 acres of grain ready
to harvest. He estimates his loss
at six or seven thousand dollars.
Harve Boyd, on Hico highway, lost
650 young turkey*, fences and had
other damages. As a matter of
fact it would be hard to make a
list of those who were damaged.
Charley Carter, nea r the Boyd
farm, was a heavy loser. The Sel-
den school building was badly dam-
aged.
In scattered sections of the cour-
ty the losaea were reported heavy.
Bhtff Dale, from all. reports, had
no damage, and the grain fanners
in the Paluxy Valley will soon be
ready to harvest a bumper crop.
A good rain was the result in that
section.
Just what the hxu in the county
will approximate, in dollars and
cents, would be barJ to estimate.
Many feel we that $100,000 would
not cover the damage- Some be-
lieve it to be much above that fig-
ure. v
Tonight at the fair
orium In Dublin, Hon. Frits Lah-
hara will deliver the main address
before the graduating class of the
Dublin high school. Arrangement*
have been made to take care of
one of the largest crowds of the
season and it is believed Mr. Xan-
ham will be greeted by a capacity
house.
Sunday at 11 o’clock Mr. I an ham
will appear before the high school
class at Lipan, delivering the bac-
calaureate sermon in the school au-
ditorium at that time. It has also
been announced that Dr- J. D. San-
difer, president of Simmons Uni-
versity, will apeak from the same
platform the following Monday
night, delivering the commence-
ment address. Citixen* of • Lipan
have expressed themselves as feel-
ing highly complimented at having
two such distinguished speakers

and like Dublin, have completed
plans for extra large crowds.

Thursday afternoon it appeared
that the problem had almost been

Thursday afternoon had it that
Mayor Henry Clark and a com-

trip to Waco where they went into
consultation with Messrs Porter
and Page with a view of donating
them the city trade square lot.
Mayor Clark was concerned Wed-
nesday night far fear the visiting
officials would not be able to rtach
an agreement with the property
owner* and might leave without
arriving at any defints conclusion.
“I ate interested in seeing this

Clark. "I bare no choice as to
