Digger Always Available
The hole-digging equipment is
carried on the derrick when not
in use, where it is available at all
times. This is a marked improve-
ment over the old method of haul-
ing the digger in the material
trailer and saves sending back for
the digger when needed.
Another advantage of the live-
boom is that heavy loads can be
picked up and placed into the
truck body — a large transform-
er, for example — which will elim-
inate a lot of lifting by crew mem-
bers. The smashed fingers and
toes which sometimes resulted
from the time consuming opera-
tion of erecting and removing
rigid-type derricks will be elimi-
nated by the new equipment.
Now is the time to delight Dad with gifts he can wear with
pride. Gifts you will give with pride, too. It’s easy to buy

Springers Elect
Officers Tuesday
David Tompkins was elected pres-
ident of the Springers club at a

Other officers elected were:
Vice president, Max James; secre-
tary-treasurer, George Taylor, ser-
geant-at-arms, Billy Webb; report-
er, John Welch.
Altar Society Nets
$251 At Pie Supper
The Altar society of the Catho-
lic church of Montague sponsored
a pie supper last Friday night on
the lawn of the, church and which
netted $251.
Eleanor Larson received the
most votes for being the prettiest
girl, and received a cake.
Jones of Bowie received
most votqs for the ugliest man
and received a cake of soap.
Now comes R. E. Wallace,
Fort Worth coin collector, with
,a free offer to John and Delva
Stutts of Nocona to tell them
what’s what about that strange
coin they found recently while
digging fence post holes.
Don’t know if R. E. saw the
item in ’Round About or if he
heard it read over WBAP, Fort
Worth, a few Sundays ago by
Jack Nunnery, popular weekly
newspaper commentator; any-
way R. E. thinks he might have
’he answer, according to a let-
ter we received from him this
week. It reads:
“Editor Pete.
“In regard to the coin written
about in your ‘Round About
Nocona’ column recently found
by John and Delva Stutts, upon
inspection would be glad to give
you full identification of the
coin, free of charge.”
It’s your ball, John and Delva.
Our sympathy to Earnest Hay-
ley, who, in his Saint Jo Tri-
bune last week, bemoaned the
fact that he didn't have enough
news to fill the paper.
Know exactly what Earnest
was up against. We faced the
same crisis along about Tuesday
when it looked like we'd have
to put th; church calendar col-
umn on the front page to fill
the fool thing.
All those poets and song
writers who yap about the bless-
ings of June ought to publish a
small town weekly during that
glorious month, when school
and women's club news falls
overnight as flat as a thin mod-
el pancake.
Cheer up,
not alone,
lunch at the
with Paul Crume, Big D con-
ductor of the Dallas News, and
he, too, moaned about
days when he doesn't
what in the dickens he's
to put in his column.

copy to Glen Sutherland, your
county attorney. Following is an
exact copy of the letter wherein
Judge Holland requested that I
assign another judge to his
trict to try the Rhone case:
Holland's Letter
“Judge Floyd Jones,
“Presiding Judge.
“Breckenridge, Texas.
“In re: No. 13.235, the
of Montague, Texas, vs. Dave
W. Rhone and Columbia Casual-1 a
:^Zaun„V^““’Mon' CPS Adds More
“Dear Judge Jones: V* " 1 I*
“The above entitled cause was tffUipmeni * OF
filed in the District court of Mon-1 * *
tague county on the 22nd day of, W CaviiLa
March, 1956, and at the same time AdUCal Mvl VIvC
a motion was filed requesting that
I recuse myself as the trial judge
in said cause. The motion was
filed by the county attorney, who
filed the lawsuit. His motion is
unjustified and devoid of all mer-
it, however, in view of the fact
that he saw fit to file such mo-
tion, and in order to keep the
affairs of the court on a high
level and beyond criticism, as all
judges should do, I deem it ad-
visable to request you to assign
another judge to my court in Mon-
tague to hear this case. I shall be
glad to exchange benches with
the judge whom you assign here,
and you may feel free to so ad-
vise him.
“The firm of Donald & Donald
of Bowie, Texas, represent the de
fendants, and Glen Sutherland,
county attorney of Montague coun-
ty, represents the county. I am
sure that both sides are anxious
for an early hearing on this mat
ter, and it will be appreciated if
you will expedite this request
without de2ay.
“When tne assignment has been
made it will be appreciated if you
will notify each of the above nam-
ed attorneys so that they may con-
tact the Judge with reference to
hearing any and all preliminary
| matters preparatory to a trial on
its merits.
“Thanking you, and with best
wishes, I am,
“Sincerely,
"Louis T. Holland.”
Only Communication
Continuing, Judge Jones said in
his letter to The News:
“The letter which is above set
out is all the communication that
I have ever had from Judge Hol-
land with reference to this mat-
ter.
“My court reporter prepared the
order assigning Judge Ray Winder
and also. prepared the letter of
transmittal. He brought both to
my home for signature, which I
signed. The letter of transmittal
is admittedly awkwardly worded,
but it was certainly not my inten-
tion to say that Judge Holland
had requested any particular Judge
to try the case, because he did
not.
“I regret very much the misin-
terpretation of my letter by your
County Attorney and the use that
he has made of it. I have always
had and still have implicit confi-
dence in Judge Winder both as a
Christian gentleman
able judge.
“It is a part of
supervise the work
judges in my administrative dis-
trict and to assign them wherever
necessary. I have had occasion
many times to assign Judge Hol-
land to other courts over the state,
and because of his courage and
ability he is recognized as one of
the State’s outstanding Judges,
and his integrity is beyond ques-
tion.
“The only purpose of this let-
ter is to, in all fairness, correct
the distorted interpretation placed
on my letter by your county at-
torney. I realize this letter Is
long, but I feel that it is as short
as I can make it arid properly pre-
sent the true facts.
“Yours very truly,
“Floyd Jones, Presiding Judge
“Eighth Administrative Dis
trict of Texas.”
