we have made preparations to sup-
ply all your canning needs. We
have a big stock of jars, caps and
rubbers that we are making attrac-
tive prices on. Don’t fail to can all
the fruits and vegetables you can
this season. You know how high
canned goods have been the past
’ year. It will pay you to have plenty
of home-canned fruits, etc.
We have a big supply of sugar
and are making very attractive
prices on it by the hundred pounds
or in small quantity. Don’t make
your purchases before getting our
prices. You might lose money if
you do.

slipped up on the five, took careful
aim, and downed five with one bar-

Attorney is Victim.
Houston, June 14.—W. J. Boyd,
attorney, was the victim last night of
a kidnaping and whipping. Boyd,
seized by eight men, vzas taken to the
woods, whipped and told to leave
town. He had twice been arrested
for annoying girls in picture shows.
Greenville, June 10.—Orbie Stand-
lee, 27 years old, was shot and killed
late yesterday afternoon by Matthew
Olinson, a negro, 25 years old. “The
shooting took place at the negro’s
home near Celeste in this county.
The difficulty started when Stand-
lee went to the negro’s house to see
Harrison Shank. It is said that when
Standlee rode his horse into Olinson’s
yard, the negro ordered Standlee to
take his horse out. Some words were
passed and Shanks took the horse by
the bridle and led him away with the
rider.
Standlee and Shanks left the ne-
gro’s home, but later in the day
Standlee. returned and the trouble
was renewed. It is claimed the negro
threatened Standlee and the latter
fired at him once with a pistol, in-
flicting a flesh wound. The negro
returned the fire with a shot gun.
Denison, Texas, June 13.—H. M.
Gaines, superintendent of the elev-
enth division railway mail service,
has returned to headquarters in Fort
Worth aftei’ spending some time here
in company with Dr. Alex W. Ache-
son going over the proposed river
mail route on Red River.
It is proposed to place a motqj’boat
on Red River to operate between
Denison and points sixty miles east
of this city.
The matter is being handled here
by the Retail Merchants’ Association.
Undertakers from the Truett &
Moore establishment were called to
Westminster last Sunday to prepare
and convey the body of Miss Eliza-
beth Giles for burial. The young
lady was the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. S. Giles and had been in ill
health since the influenza epidemic,
to which many fell® victim while the
disease raged throughout the country.
Every fellow toots his own horn more
or less. Unless he did there are some
whose horn wouldn’t get tooted at all.
Denton, June 14.—The body of
Arthur Storme of Denton, 15 years
old, was found at 5 o’clock this morn-
ing near Garza on the Dallas-Denton
pike. It was mangled and bruised
and marks on the road indicated the
lad had been dragged fifty yards by
an automobile. Officers started an
immediate investigation.
The pie supper given by the Aux-
iliary of the American Legion last
Friday night at the club room of the
Legion was a big success. Forty-five
dollars was the amount realized from
the sale, which will be used for furn-
ishing the rest-room for ladies. It
has not yet been decided where the
rest-room will be located, but when
it is fixed up it will be thrown open
to all ladies visiting this city. The
ladies asked The Sun to thank the
people for the liberal patronage given
them at the supper.
P. M. Jarvis of the community
southeast of town was exhibiting
some boll weevils on the streets here
the other day, and says that the pests
are so numerous as to threaten com-
plete destruction of the cotton crop.
Most of the cotton is now putting on
forms, which are attacked with de-
structive effect by the boll weevils.
Denison, June 13.—David Fallmar,
a young man about 24 years old, met
a terrible death early Sunday morn-
ing several miles west of Pottsboro.
The cause of his death is yet undeter-'
mined and may never be known, as
his body was so badly mangled that
it is almost impossible to determine
whether he was murdered and placed
on. the railroad track or was struck
by a train.
The engine crew of a Denison-
bound freight train on the Katy no-
ticed sparks flying from under their
engine tank, and believing they had
a hot box, stopped the train. The
sp.arks were caused from the body of
Fallmar dragging on the brake rig-
ging and throwing flint rocks of the
ballast against the wheels.
The body was taken from under
the engine tank, mangled beyond
recognition, and carried to Pottsboro,
where it was called for and brought
to Denison. A torn service letter
found in the pocket of the dead man’s
coat served as the only identification.
The letter was from the Paris Ice
Company and an undertaker at Paris
was notified, and ordered the body to
be shipped to Paris, which was done
this morning.
Dallas, June 14.—Ed Engers, 32,
oil filling station operator, was seized
by masked men, taken to a lonely
point south of Dallas and horsewhip-
ped for alleged cruelty to his wife,
according to his story told at the
emergency hospital, where he applied
for treatment early today. ■-
Twenty lashes were applied to En-
gers’ bare back after he had been tied
to a. tree, he told the doctors.
According to Engers’ story, two
unmasked men entered his place of
business at 10:30 last night. One
man declared he was an officer and
told Engers to follow them. As he
was placed in an automobile he said
he saw three other men seated in the
car, all masked. As the machine
headed from the city, other automo-
biles joined the first car. He did not
know how many men were in the par-
ty because of darkness. After the
whip had been applied twenty times
Engers said he was carried by a
roundabout way to Red Oak, where
he was handed a $5 bill and warned
not to return to Dallas. Later he
called a service car and came to the
emergency hospital. He said he had
not reported the incident to the po-
lice.

FANNIN COUNTY HAS
NEW ROAD MACHINE
T. H. LIVELY INJURED IN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
A message was received here about
o’clock Thursday morning from
Dallas stating that T. H. Lively was
seriously injured in an automobile
accident Wednesday night. The mes-
sage stated that it was thought his
scull was fractured and one arm was
paralyzed and that he had been un-
couscious since the accident. No
particulars as to how the accident
happened were received nor at what
time Wednesday night. Mr. Lively
had been in the oil fields for several
days on business and was expected
home Wednesday afternoon or Thurs-
day morning, and it is presumed he
was enroute home in his car when
he was injured. Mr. Lively’s many
friends hope that his injuries will
not prove so serious as indicated by
first reports.
Mr. Joe Thompson and Mrs. Lively
left immediately for Dallas upon re-
ceipt of news of the accident.
The county today received an
Adams Road Maintainer and has been
busy unloading the machine. The
machine grades the roads on both
sides and in the middle at one and
the same time. It has been used in
other Texas counties and is said to be
a success in the way of keeping the
roads well and evenly graded.
This machine is pulled by either a
tractor or truck. It has been ordered
as a trial machine, and if it proves a
success others will be, purchased later
on. It is said to do just as good work
in keeping the gravel roads properly
graded as it does on dirt roads.—
Bonham Favorite.
