Austin, March 3.—The case of
John W. Brady missed being set for
retrial Tuesday because of an inmate
of the jail, where Brady is confined,
had been exposed to smallpox.
When it developed Brady could not
be brought into court to Witness the
resetting of his case, the .proceeding
was deferred until Thursday.
District Attorney Henry H. Brooks
had requested J. D. Moore to set the
case for April 14 and asked that 500
special veniremen be ordered for that
date.
When Dayton Moses, attorney for
Brady, suggested that the defendant
be present', Sheriff Coley White made
known the smallpox exposure inci-
dent and said the county and city
health officers had asked that no one
be permitted to leave the jail until
every one in the building had been
vaccinated.
Brady, former judge of the Court
of Civil Appeals, was charged with
the murder last Nov. 9 of Miss Leh-
lia Hig'hsmith, Capitol stenographer,
and his first trial resulted in the jury
failing to agree. Eleven jurymen vot-
ed for conviction and one for acquit-
tal. Nine favored infliction of the
death penalty and two wanted to give
the defendant life imprisonment.
Miss Highsmith was stabbed to death

PHON-E 481
A
In the absence of President Earl
Stirling, Vice-president W. L. Willis
presided at the Lion luncheon today
and Lion Boggs brought the invoca-
tion.
Lion Sherwood read a communica-
tion from a former Lion, Carl Blom-
shield, now of Big Spring, m regard
to the Lions Student Loan Fund, and
it was voted that the ' president ap-
point a new committee to take charge
of the fund.
The meeting was turned over to
the ladies of the club, who furnished
an interesting entertainment. Mrs-
Fulkerson, chairman of the commit-
tee on entertainment, presented Miss
Laura Sherman, a reader of out-
standing talent, who gave “Humors
of Elocution,” and in response to a
hearty encore gave a musical read-
ing, “Circumstantial Evidence,” ac-
companied at the piano by Mrs.
Eloise Fulkerson, Lion pianist. Miss
Sherman presented one of her tal-
ented pupils, Miss Dorothy Pounds,
who delighted her audience with
“Tapestry Weavers,” and for an en-
core gave “How Did You Die?” Each
number on the program was thor-
oughly enjoyed.
Lion Sheppard introduced as his
guest, T. K. Williams who made a
short talk.
Dr. W. W. Long made a few re-
marks on “Prison Reform.” He said
he was for the betterment of pris-
oners who seemed to be harmed more
than benefitted by a> prison sentence.
He paid tribute to Misses Sherman
and Pounds for their entertainment.
Hon. Henry Pharr, visitor from
the Greenville Lions club, said that
“emphasis for a thriving club must
be placed on usefulness. Lionism
stands for usefulness,” he said, “and
any club must have major activities
to thrive. I have surely enjoyed be-
ing, in your club the six weeks of at-
tending court here.” He said he felt
obligated to and proud to belong to
this club, and county, for personal
reasons, and past associations with
the people here made him always
ready to be of service to them. “For
the members of the Greenville club
who attended the luncheon here last
Tuesday,” he said, ’’they had enjoy-
ed the association and hospitality of
the local club,” and highly compli-
mented the nice luncheon served by
the ladies of the Methodist church.
He extended an invitation for the
local club to visit the Greenville
club.
Arn entertainment committee was
appointed for next week’s luncheon,
and the club adjourned.
Miss Laura Gumming was a charm-
ing hostess Saturday evening of the
past week when she. entertained the
members of the Oddity club at her
home on Van Sickle street with a -G
o’clock dinner.
The home was made more attract-
ive with its decorations of lovely
.spring* flowers, the dining table hav-
ing for its central adornment a love-
ly bowl of jonquils. Place cards
were marked for the following:
Miss Elizabeth Murrie, Mrs. Loyd
Wright, Mrs. John B. Stringer, Mrs.
J. Iv. Brim, Miss Mary McDonald,
Miss Maude Nelson, Mrs. Ward Gb-
ber and the hostess.
San Angelo, March 4.—Leakage of
gas from a sewer or gas main was
blamed Monday for the explosion in
a building occupied by the Western
Union Telegraph Company here Sat-
urday in which several persons were
injured.
Officers said they had learned that
messenger boys had stood in an al-
ley outside the building and struck
matches to see small flares of gas
burn from the ground.
Fire Chief John Parker was of
the opinion that gas accumulated un-
der the floor of the building- from a
slow seepage and was ignited by a
spark caused by a roller chair being
pushed over a nail in the floor. The
concussion of the explosion was be-
lieved to have blown out the flame.

TRIBUTE TO MRS.
MAGGIE MORRIS
On Feb. 10, 1930, a gloom of sad-
ness was cast oyer the entire commu-
nity when learning of the death of
Mrs. Maggie Morris. The death an-
gel quietly crept into the home and
claimed for its victim .our dear wife
and mother. She was 79 years, 5
months and 6 days old at the time of
her death. She joined the Methodist
church in early childhood, about the
age of twelve, and had lived a true
and faithful Christian life until her
death.
The death angel came and took
dear Grandma, but I say, weep not,
dear loved ones, she has done her
earthly work and was ready for His
call. She is not dead btit asleep in
The play, “The Spinster’s Return,”
was presented at the Como High
School building Friday night, under
the auspices of the Parent-Teachers
Association. The chax*acter played
their respective parts well and kept
the audience laughing throughout the
evening. No charge was made for
the play. It was gotten up entirely
for the entertainment of the public.
The Parent-Teachers Association
has done a great work for the school.
During this session alone they have
raised and spent for the school near-
ly two hundred dollars. The gravel-
ed road frpm the highway to the
school building is a piece of work

HE’S QUIT!
They drive around in big fine car
Parading on the street,
And more than apt they owe for all
Their clothes from head to feet.
Another symptom, too, my friend,
Is noticed very plain,
They try to be foremost in things
To get them a big name.
In many ways one can detect
A victim of BIG HEAD;
Their neck is stiff, they can’t see us
Because they are high-bred.
The blow has fallen at last! The
Gazette’s subscriber has quit! And
Tillie the Toiler asked the editor:
“What we goin’ to do ’thout a sub-
scriber?” Our subscriber came in
last week and up and told the Ga-
zette office, all and several, that it
was giving the town a bad name, and
to take HIS name off’n the mail list.
Incidentally he told the staff not to
mention that a lot of boys had been
pulled up for shooting up his end of
the town, but he didn’t want any-
thing said about it, for fear they
would get peeved and fhake things
disagreeable for him. Incidentally
the Gazette’s subscriber, that it “has
loved and lost awhile,” entirely over-
looked the little matter of an over-
due subscription. But the Lord tem-
pers the wind to the shorn lamb and
nearly 200 new subscribers have
taken away the string of the sad loss.
