ANIMAL KILLED BY FREIGHT
TRAIN.
A valuable bull said to belong to
John Benson of Dickinson was struck
by a freight train at the crossing at
League City Tuesday night and so
badly injured that it had to be killed.
Prof. J. L. Hoshal and Dr. C. B.
Garner were in Houston last Thurs-
day and purchased about $200 worth
of new desks for the school. Part of
these will be used in the Baptist
Church, as that building has been
leased to eb used as a high school,
until the completion of the new build-
ing. A portion of the desks purchased
were for the “colored” school build-
ing.

Late Sunday evening a very serious
cutting affray occurred at the home
of B. Spanderio. It seems that Mr.
and Mrs. Spanderio were engaged in
a family altercation and Joe Emite,
hearing the noise, rushed over to the
Spanderio house, and it is alleged
stabbed Mr. Spanderio four times. No
arrest has as yet been made. The
wounded man will probably recover.

The Mission Social, given by the
ladies of the Baptist Church, at the
home of Mrs. C. W. Collins last Fri-
day afternoon, was well attended, and
a very interesting program which
Mrs. B. A. Woods had assisted the
hostess in preparing was greatly en-
joyed by all.
Refreshments consisting of delicious
cake and cream were served.
Those present were:
Mrs. Springfield and daughter, Miss
Ruth; Mrs. Miller and daughters,
Mrs. Eckhart, Mrs. M. Lucy, Mrs.
Cecil McNichols, Mrs. Underwood,
Misses Terressa May Parke, Mary
Addie Garrett, Fay Underwood, Ida
Benson and Rowena Deats, visitors,
and Mrs. G. Hennison, Mrs. Garner,
Mrs. D. A. Wood, Mrs. Tom Wood,
and Mrs. Geo. Deats, members of the
Society.
All report such a pleasant evening
that the ladies hope this will not be
their last “Mission Social.”

term of school which begins the first
Monday in September.
Mr. M. P. Freligh, claim agent of
the G. H. & H. R. R., has put up a
tent and camp outfit in the picnic
grounds and is at home to all callers.

and enjoying every minute.
The ladies of Holy Trinity Mission

ments of the Mission. The date fixed

Grover Benson is now selling meat
cheaper than ever before, and if you
want any wood, just drive in and
help yourself. Ice is almost being
given away. The cause of all this is
the fact that he is the proud father
of a new baby girl which was born in
Galveston Tuesday night. Mother and
daughter doing nicely and Grover is
receiving the congratulations of his
friends.
The Rev. Charles W. Freeland,
Chaplain 6th United States Cavalry,
held service (The Holy Communion)
at Holy Trinity Mission last Sunday
Morning. This Mission being the only
Protestant Episcopal Church in Gal-
veston County on the Mainland has
the distinction of having members in
many of the neighboring towns most
of whom availed themselves of the
opportunity of hearing Mr. Freeland
preach. Mr. Freeland’s sermons are
noted for their clearness and strength
of diction and his remarks on “ser-
vice” and on “this service” were lis-
tened to with marked attention, every-
one attending feeling the benefit of
the instructive and devotional lesson
so eloquently preached to them.
A saloon keeper of this place paint-
ed the town red last Thursday even-
ing with his broken English, and pro-
ceeded to cuss out the town in gen-
eral and the white citizens in par-
ticular. If there is one thing he has
learned to perfection it is the whole
line of cuss words that the English
language contains, and he did not fail
to use all of them on this occasion.
The cause of his rampage seemed to
be that he had been notified by the
breweries that his license would not
be furnished him another year and
this made him furoius, and hence his
attack on the town. Monday morning
he contributed $32.75 to the state for
his few hours of “jaw exercise,” with
some kindly advice from Judge Scott
that he would let him off light this
time, but next time he would give
him the limit.

Last Sunday the San Leon baseball
team came over to Dickinson to play
a return game.
The battery for Dickinson was Wol-
ston and King, and the San Leon
boys found them quite different from
the battery of the previous game. Up
to the sixth inning the game was an
even break. With a little more prac-
tice, the Dickinson boys will be
able to put up a stiff game.
