Four New Movies
Released By Ford
For Free Showing
Four new movie features rang-
ing from a symphonic fantasy in
technicolor to a picture tour of the
1940 World’s Fair have just been
released by the Ford .Motor Com-
pany.
These productions are available,
without charge, for showings be-
fore school and church groups,
service clubs, and various civic
organizations and private clubs re-
questing them.
"Symphony In F,” one of the
first “stop action” movies made
in technicolor, sets a new pace in
screen technique and screen enter-
tainment. With Linton Wells, fam-
ed CBS news analyst as narrator,
the 15-minute feature traces in an
extra-ordinary manner the far-
reaching influence of the motor
car industry throughout the world
in gathering raw materials for the
automobile.
Doll-like figures which animate
the Ford Cycle of Production ex-
hibit at the New York Fair step
into the same characterizations for
"Symphony In F.” The farmer,
chemist, lumberjack, miner, cot-
ton picker, rubber man and trans-
portation worker all dramatize—
in song and action—their parts in
pouring raw materials from all
E
ouge plant, world’s greatest in-
dustrial unit.
The movie swings from fantasy
to actual pictures in color of vari-
ous manufacturing processes at the
Rouge, with comments by Wells on
scenes in the steel mill, glass
pant, plastics division, motor as-
sembly building, tire plant, fab-
rics division and on the final as-
sembly line.
Building of the 28,000,000th Ford
car in fantasy concludes the “Sym-
phony.” Various automobile parts
take on life-like appearance as
they parade to the assembly line.
Other new Ford movie releases
include “While The City Sleeps,”
showing some of the amazing but
little-known tasks performed by
night workers in a big city; "Keep
This Under Your Hood," an ani-
mated cartoon drama of what oc-
curs inside an automobile engine;
and "Scenes From the World of
Tomorrow,” a six-minute pictorial
whirl over, around and through
the New York World’s Fair.
The films are distributed through
Ford dealers and Ford Motor Com-
pany branches. Showing can be ar-
ranged upon request of dealers.

Lloyd Bouldin Thanks
His Friends:
I wish to thank the voters of Palo Pinto, Erath, and
Hood Counties, who supported me in my race for the
office of District Attorney.
The loyalty, and untiring efforts of my many
friends in my behalf, were, and always will be appre-
ciated by me more than words can express.
I congratulate Mr. Cleveland upon his victory, and
am sure that I am joined by all good citizens in wish-
ing him success in the firm and fair enforcement of
the law during his administration as our District
Attorney.

Disastrous Dove, Creek Indian
Fight Recalled By Hamilton
Man Who Took Part In Battle
BY ZADA SANDERS
J. J. Kelly of Hamilton, still liv-
ing and fairly active, took part as
a membef of the Texas militia,
composed of then over, age and
boys under age for regular Army
service, in the Dove Creek Indian
fight. Mr. Kelly gives the follow-
ing account of the event:
“After a Httle more than seven-
ty-five years I will try to give my
recollection of the trouble with the
Indians at Dove Creek, and events
leading up to this trouble.
“I enlisted in the militia at Ste-
phenville, in Col. G. B. Erath’s
regiment and Capt. Ed Pugh’s
Company, our senior captain be-
ing Captain Talton of Johnson
County.
“Our company left Stephenville
during the latter part of December,.
1864, going up the Clear Fork of
the Brazos above Fort Phantom
Hill. There we found the trail of
the Indians .somewhere near the
town of Abilene, and from there
we traveled on, striking the Colo-
rado River near where the town
of Ballinger now is, then on across
country to Kickapoo Springs.
“There we encamped and while
there word reached us that the
Indians were camped on Dove
Creek.
“We were ordered to saddle up
and start for Dove Creek, which
we did, arriving about 9 o’clock
the morning of Jan. 8, 1865.
“The officers in command of this
expedition were Capt. Ed Pugh,
First Lieut. William Whittaker,
Second Lieut. King Harvick and
First Sgt. J. M. Steven. These
officers met and mapped out a plan
of attack, which was for us to
ride southwest. By so doing, from
information received, we thought
we could ride directly into the In-
dian camp.
“We either missed our direction
of had been wrongly informed, for
upon reaching the creek we found
we could not cross at all on horse
back because of a bluff. We were
ordered to dismount and go in on
foot While we were dismounting
and taking care of the horses the
Indians learned of cur approach
and got ready for us.
“We had to go down a bluff to
the creek and wade some thirty
feet across in water waist deep to
reach the Indian camp on the oth-
er side.
22 Killed and Wounded
“As we came out of the water
the Indians opened fire on us, kill-
ing and wounding twenty-two men
at that place.
“We were ordered to fall back
to where the horses were, and af-
ter that there was no organized
effort.
“I was detailed to help take care
of the wounded. Four of us put
Captain Gillantinc on a blanket
and carried him to the doctor by
the name of W. L. Bateman, which
was about a half mile from where
the captain was wounded. Going
back we brought out Bill Gillan-
tine, a son of the captain. There
were others beside our detachment
who also engaged in the fight, but
I do not recall other names.
"I do recall that while Noah
Bible, some other men and I were
carrying a wounded man on a
blanket to the rear we came upon
| some Indians. Bible stopped and
hid in some brush and said: ‘Here
is where I get me an Indian.’
When he failed to come on we
went back and found him shot
between the eyes.
“This Dove Creek fight was on
Jan. 8, 1865, with the weather bitter
cold and soldiers short of food. We
not only suffered losing the fight
but had to undergo many hard-
ships. For four days we had noth-
to eat but horse flesh and Indian
porridge and this without salt.
Many were the hardships suffer-
ed during the years 1864 and 1865.
“I remember once wo hSd been
without bread fpr six or eight
days when ltoe came to. £
“While out on a scouting expedi-
tion we learned the war was over,
so we disbanded and I returned
to my home in Erath County.”
,. Came to- Texas in 1857
J. J. Kelly was born in Walker
County, Georgia, Oct. 9, 1846,
coming to Texas with his father
in 1857, spending the greater por-
tion of his life in Dublin, Erath
County .
He is now making his home with
his brother, R. B. Kelly of Ham-
ilton. He recently rode in a parade
during the Hamilton County fair
representing the Confederate Vet-
erans of the county of whom there
are only two living, the other one
being too feeble to participate.
Since his ninetieth birthday, each
October 9, children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, friends and
neighbors gather to celebrate his
birthday. This October 9, he will
be 94, and an even greater cele-
bration is being planned in his
honor.
He has six children as follows:
Mrs. Cora Gillett of Oklahoma City,
C .A. Kelly, Waco; Oscar Kelly,
Dallas; C. A. Kelly, Waco; C. D.
Kelly, Groesbeck, and Mrs. T. B.
McDade of Sugarland.
His wife died some twenty-five
years ago at their home in Dublin.
