The Ballinger school board met
Tuesday afternoon and among oth-
er business transacted fixed the
date of opening for school. They
decided to open school on Sept. 8th
The first week will be devoted to
the Runnels County Institute, and
the school proper will open Mon -
day, Sept. 15th.
This is a little earlier than usual
but the board considered the mat-
ter from every standpoint and
they decided it was for the best
interest of the school to begin
early and complete the year’s
work earlier in the spring.
It was also decided to print a
catalogue and after passing on
bids the contract for this work was
awarded the Ballinger Printing
Co., and 500 copies of the book
will be printed and be ready for
distribution within the next ten

Autos carrying about sixty citi-
zens from Abilene arrived in Bal-
linger at four^o’clock Tuesday af-
ternoon and spent two hours here.
The autos were decorated with
banners with the wording “Young
Men’s Booster Club, Abilene,”
printed on them and each dele-
gate was also decorated with bad- 6
ges with similar wording.
Ararngements has been made by
our citizens to entertain the visi-
tors for a short time, and seventy-
five nice watermelons were plac-
ed in the vault at the ice plant sev
eral days before and these were
brought out and placed under the
large shady trees in the court-
housepark, where the visitors to-
gether with a large number of
local citizens, assembled.
Before the melons were cut,
Judge Guion was called for and
he in a short talk extended to the
visitors a hearty welcome, and
among other things said that he
was glad of that spirit of unity
that was so forceable manifested,
and that he trusted that the ef-
forts being put forth by the large
number of citizens that were com-
ing together at San Angelo would
be rewarded with the securing of
the great public highway, The
Texas Frisco Route. It was one of
those usually good speeches that
Judge Guion makes and right to
the point, and most appropriate
for the occasion.
Judge Kirby, of the Abilene
Boosters, was called for by his
party and responded with a splen-

KM IY OFFICER
r, ■.—
der, some person called the emer-
geney hospital here and asked
Dr. M. M. Carr of that institution:
“Have you got a woman up
there whose throat has been cut?”
That was at 8:30 a. m. Miss
Brown’s body was not even dis-
covered until 9 a. m. and it was
sor.ie time later before the police
were notified.
Detectives said today that a bus
iness man who passed the Robin-
son & Stryon offices where the
young woman was killed at 8:30
on the day of the murder said he
looked in and noted that the place
seemed completely deserted. A
voung woman who was a personal
friend of the ‘murdered girl, de-
tectives sav, also passel the of-
fice about 8:30, stopping a mom-
ent with the intention of chatting
yrith Miss Brown. As she looked
through the door and heard the
telephone bell ringing and noted
that the office seemed deserted.
She did not enter. Miss Brown’s
bodv at that moment is supposed
tn have been lyino on the floor
of the lavatory adjoining the of-
fice.
The ringing of the telephone
bell has raised a auestion as to
whether any one tried to warn
Miss Brown and the deduction
follows, according to the police,
that if some one tried to warn
her. there probably was a con-
spiracy which caused her death.
