FUR YEAR OF 1924! placed in the hands of local
contractors, it was announced
to The Lufkin Daily News by
animals for a minute to go to
the front of the wagon, the
team "pulled out,” as was in-
tended, but kept going.
A quantity of wood and the
frame of the wagon was left
in front of the Standley home.
The front axle and wheels
were left in front of the A.
Stroud home on Ellis avenue
at Bonner street and a rear
wheel was deposited at the
Hopper filling station across
from the Hotel Bonner. The
horses were headed for home,
it seems, and on they came.
The animals were still pulling
what was left of the wagon
in backward fashion. The
real front of the wagon being
behind, caused the wagon to
zig-zag from one side of Ellis
avenue and the other streets
traversed as the terrified quad-
rapeds made their getaway.
The back axle—which was
foremost in the runaway—was
left in front of the present
quarters of the Lufkin Nation-
al Bank and was added to
Robert Denum’s rolling stock.
The next high point in the
stampede was the stopping of
the animals by Woods' new
automobile. Mr. Wilkerson,

Rev. Zeigler has been very

nouncement of Albert Shafer,
secretary, “Texas consistory
and co-ordinate bodies will
hold their spring reunion in
the valley of Galveston March
24, 25. 26, 27 and 28. All the
degrees from the fourth to the
thirty-second will be conferr-
ed.”
Galveston is the mother of
Scottish Rite Masonry in Tex-
as. San Felipe Lodge of Per-
fection was established here
May 15, 1867, now 57 years
ago. The organization had n

first few years of its existence,
but new blood was added In
1882 and a chapter of Rose
Croix was instituted.
From that time the mem-
bership increased rapidly. A

here in 1898, followed in 1809
