who believe efforts of the Santa

a more ambitlous ultimate purpose
than appears on the face of its
application to the Interstate Com-

that body in Washington Tuesday.
Phe application seeks permit for

Under the heading “Fifty years
ago," the Dallas News Wednesday
carried an article stating that
“Denton Presbyterians are taking
steps to rebuild the church recent-
.lydestroye by fire” old timers
here remember the fire which de-
stroyed the church, which occurred
shortly after the burning of the
court house When the court house
was burned many legal papers were
saved and were placed in the
church for keeping, according to
Dr. F. E. Piner. Evidently someone
was anxious that some of the pa-
pers be destroyed and set fire to
the church. Henry Underwood, a
member of the now famous Sam
Haas gang. was arrested in connec-
tion with the fire and was held in
jail for some time, but was later
released Piner recalls

was, he said, when the attitude of
the public was that when a fire
occurred the insurance companies
should pay the loss immediately
without question as they had ac-

L. B. Shaver spoke on insurande
and fire prevention at the -
Manis clk. luncheon in the CL I.
A. cafeteria Tuesday at noon.
The president read a telegram
from J. M. England of Dallas,
chairman of the Memphis commit-
tee of the Texas-klahoma dis-
trict, asking that reservations by.
made at once for the Kiwanis n-
ternational convention which will
convene in Memphis, Tenn., in
June. Reservations must be made
now in order to get hotel accom-
modatons, he said Several Ki-
wanians have announced their in-
tention of attending the conven-
tion.
The president also announced a
meeting of the officers and direc-
tors to be held in the office of J.
N. Rayzor next Monday afternoon
ft 5 o’clock.
Shaver in a humorous talk dis-
cussed briefly the insurance busi-
ness and stated that the under-
writers of Denton are co-operating

may be influenced by the belief that
the Santa Fe will ultimately seek
a connection with its main line to
Dallas, and that at least one or
more logical routes would be thru
Denton Co(utty, possibly via Den-
ton. The Santa Fe’s $5,000,000 In-
vestment in terminals at Dallas is
much larger than the importance
of its present Dallas lines, which
are only on a branch route, war-
rant, they say, and that the repu-
tation of the Santa Fe foi striving
for most economical operaticp,
makes it obvious that it would took
with favor on construction that
would eliminate the long haul south
to Cleburne and then north to Dal-
las with the tremendous volume of
freight it could get if it had quick-
er routes than it now has with pas-
sage thru the Fort Worth termin-

tered the fourth round today, with
eight games scheduled for the bill
More large scores continued to
roll in yesterdus. but there was a
drop from the early games. The
teams are reaching the evenly
matched stage now and there is
promised some excellent shows for
the ever- increasing pumber pt tig1
spectators’at'the meet.
The battles are more closely
fought, yesterday’s necessitating
se"eral overtime periods to decide
the victors and there is more exhi-
biting of close guarding and less
walk away matches.
It would he difficult to pick the
“class” of the meet, but of the
sixteen teams left, followers of the
court game here list the probable
semifinalists among these: Hill-
yards. St. Joseph, Mo.; K C. A. C..

Upsets have been listed so far,
however, and as yet there can be
little if anything told of the rela-
