received instructions not to sail

With only about five thousand
votes out, the Abilene Reporter at
three-thirty this afternoon, pre-
dicted that Judge Thos. L. Blan-
ton would be nominated for con-
gress from this district by at least
2000 votes.
The Reporter made special ar-
rangements for compiling the re-
turns from the district and a
phone manage to The Ledger
from that paper at three-thirty
stated that complete returns from
thirty counties and incomplete re-
turns from nineteen counties had
been received at the Reporter of-
fice and is as follows:
Blanton 17,351.
Smith 15136.
The above figures gives Blan-
ton a lead of 2,215 and includes
most of the vote from El Paso
county, which is conceded to be a
Smith stronghold. Congressman
Smith, in a telegram to friends,
concedes Blanton’s election.

Mr. Boyd attributes the narrow
escape from death to the fact rhat
the screen window struck the top
of the brass sign on the column
of the bank building and in this
way the momentum was checked
and the screen struck Mr. Boyd
a glancing lick. Otherwise there
would have been a different story
to tell.
A workman accidentally let the
screen fall as Mr. Boyd was pass-
