Last week mention was made
of the theft of goods from the
Alpine Auto Co., supposed to
have been taken by a former em-
ploye who had recently been dis-
charged. Acting on this clew,
Sheriff Walton took the train for
El Paso as he had an da Tom-
kies would head that way. Ar-
riving in El Paso, he was inform-
ed by the police that they had
been unable to locate Tomkies.
Mr. Walton decided to make a
personal hunt and after spending a
day looking through the different
shops located his man in the last
one he visited. When Tomkies
saw Sheriff Walton, he acknowl-
edged that he had taken the
goods and told him where they
could be found. Sheriff Walton
returned home Tuesday with
Tomkies and the recovered prop-
erty.
Sheriff Walton deserves much
credit for making this arrest for

important Matters Disposed Of
By Commissioners Court.
The present session of County
Commissioner’s Court has been
an unusually busy one from the
fact that important matters out-
side of the usual routine of busi-
ness were up for consideration.
The most important matter so
far acted on was the rescinding
of the permit giving any tele-
phone company the right to
do business in Alpine. This or-
der includes permits formerly
given to E. R. Miligan, and to
Miss Irvin and others. The
matter of granting a new permit
was discussed. The important
features in the new permit will
be that it shall not cover a longer
period than 5 years; that the
three years.
Mr. Moffett was for several
years a couft reporter, only the
most expert shorthand writers be-
ing able to hold this position.
For more than a year he was
professor of shorthand and com-
mercial law in the International
Busmtss College at San Antonio,
resigning that position to engage
in more lucrative work. He
comes highly recommended by
the president of that institution.
Now that we have a compe-
tent, energetic man with us to
give us that which we have been
so badly in need, let us give Mr.
Moffett and the laudable work
which he has undertaken our
hearty endorsement and patron-
age. With this school in opera-
tion and working in harmony
with our public schools, we do
not believe that we will be sur-
passed, or indeed equaled by any
town of like size in the entire
State in the way of educational
facilities.

Alpine To Have A Commercial
College.
At last Alpine is to have a com-
mercial college. Mr. C. K. Mof-
fett, who, together with his wife,
recently came here from Waco,
is now organizing the school and
will begin teaching at an early
date. Through the courtesy of
the school board and Supt. Page,
| the institution will be conducted
in the high school building.
We have personally known
Mr. Moffett for many years, and
recognize his ability in this par-
t i c u l a r line of work as of
the highest order. He is not
only an expert short-hand writer,
typeist and book-keeper, but is
also familiar with the most ap-
proved methods of teaching as
applied in our public schools, be-
ing a graduate of the Sam Hous-
ton Normal Institute of Hunts-
ville, Texas, class ’96 and having

The reception given by the

evening, refreshments were sereed
and the punch, brewed by that
past-master of punch makers, Dr.
J. B. Stuart, was much in de-
mand. The entertainments
given by this popular social or-
ganization are always looked for-
ward to with pleasure by those
who have a card.
