No, 38
Election Results.
Contrary to the general belief
that a light vote would be cast, a
rather heavy vote was cast. Most
people who predicted the light
vote did so on the strength of
there being some 75,000 less poll
taxes paid.In Fayette County we
had 1,244 less poll taxes but in
spite of this we polled more votes
than the first primary two years
ago. Some folks figure that the
heavy vote was due to the prohi-
bition question but returns seem
to indicate that only about one
half of the people who went to
the polls voted * either for or
against prohibition. Out of the
votes tabulated, the vote was:
For Submission 301,393, Against
Submission 120,383, making a to-
tal at this time of 421,000 votes
while the Governor's race at the
same time accounted for 827,251
votes.
In the Governor's* race we
find there will be a run-off be-
tween "Ma" Ferguson and the
present governor, Ross Sterling,
with Ma far in the lead, having
93,219 votes more than Ross
Sterling, who ran second. The
total vote released Wednesday
showed "Ma" Ferguson 346,658
votes, or nearing the number
she polled in the run-off two
years ago, which indicates she
has lost none of her following in
the past two years. Sterling poll-
ed '253,419 votes, while Hunter, a
mighty fine man, a man who
would have made an excellent
Governor, polled 186,563 votes.In
their run-off both the Sterling
and Ferguson headquarters have
issued statements that they will
win. The Fergusons say they
only need [to get one-fourth of
the Hunter votes to win, while
the Sterling headquarters feel
that with Gov, Sterling trailing
two years ago by 72,000 and in
the run-off he not only overcame
this 72,000 lead but beat the Fer-
gusons by 89,000 votes and they
say they can doit again.It would
seem that it will depend on how
many people go to the polls in
the-run off election next month.
Thus far Hunter has refused to
say who he will vote for. He stat-
ed he was going fishing for a
few days and rest up.
The Attorney Generals race
was a one-sided affair withAllred
leading by severalhundred thous-
and votes.
For State Superintendent Sha-
ver overtook Woods and was
some 20,000 votes ahead.
For the Supreme Court Judge-
ship Pierson was ahead leading
Hickman by some 46,000 votes.
These two will be in the run-off.
In the Railroad Commissioner
Six-Year Term the run-off will
be betweer Satterwhite and Ter-
rell.
* In the Railroad Commissioner
Four-Year term Ernest Thomp-
son was leading with Hatcher in
the run-off with him.
For Congress, Place l,the run-
off will be between Pink Parish
of Lubbock and Terrell.
Congress, Place 2, the run-off
will be between Bailey of Dallas
and Holcombe of Houston.
yCongress, Place 3, the run-off
will be between Sterling P.
Strong of Dallas and Douglas W.
McGregor of Houston.
We list Fayette County returns
by boxes on another page. We
suggest "you keep this for future
reference.
Alired Wias Easily
Jimmie Allred won by a big
majority over his two opponents,
carrying the State by a big ma-
jority so that no run-off will be
necessary in the Attorney Gene-
rals race. We expect Allred to
be a candidate for Governor two
years from now.
Brother of Gus
and Will Brauner
Dies at Beaumont
A. Brauner, Sr., a brother of
Gus and Will Brauner of this
City, died at his home in Beau-
mont last Friday at the ag<3 of
62 years.
Deceased formerly lived in
Brenham and traveled through
this section.He was a cigar sales-
man and was well known to a
number of our people here.
His body was laid to rest there
Saturday afternoon with Rev.
Yarborough of the Christian
Church officiating.
He is survived by his wife,one
son and four daughters; by four
brothers, Gus and Will of this
City, Richard of Washington
and Adolph of Comfort.
Among the Schulenburg folks
who attended the funeral were
Mr. and Mrs. Will Brauner, Mr.
and Mrs. Gus Brauner and son,
Gus, Jr.
To the bereaved relatives the
Sticker, [in common with the
many friends of the Brauner
family,extends its heartfelt sym-
pathy.
I. J. Schindler
Has Hard Fall
I. J. Schindler, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Schindler, had a
hard fall in Keuper Bros., ware
house when he pulled himself up
about 16 feet with a block and
tackle and then fell to the
ground, injuring a leg very
painfully. An X-Ray picture
wsa taken but was too wet at
this writing to show whether the
bone was broken or not, but it is
feared it is broken near the
ankel. This boy is very heavy,
the fattest boy in town and a fall
for him is dangerous. He has
previously broken a leg and an
arm. We sincerely hope this ends
his bad luck and from now on
he will have no more accidents.
Lavaca County Results
The voters of Lavaca County
elected Sam Devall by a major-
ity over his two oponents, J J.
Olsen and Dr. Perkins. So that
now Sam Devall will be the rep~
resentative -without needing a
run off.
Congressman Mansfield lost
Lavaca County by 45 votes, the
vote being Mansfield 2854; Ku=
lawik 2899. This is the only
County in the Distriet, we under-
stand, that Mansfield lost and
in the District as a whole Mans-
field defeated his opponent con-
siderable better than two to one.
In the Governors race "Ma"
did as usual, carrying the county
considerably better than 2 to 1
over all opponents. In fact she
carried every box except one
which .was carried by Sterling
and that was a' town box, East
Yoakum.
All former Commissioners in
Lavaca were running behind.
In the precinct which borders
Payette County the run off-will
be between Arnold Freytag and
Edwin V. Gallia of Moravia.
Freytag received 514 for high
man and Gallia right behind him
with 437 votes.
Popular Young Couple
Married Wednssday
Two very popular young peo-
ple of this section of the State,
John Luecke of Schulenburg and
Miss Marie (Babe) Bittner of
Weimar, were united in the holy
bonds of matrimony in the St.
Michael's Church of Weimar at
9 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Fathers Szymanski and Boyle of-
ficiating. The bride wore a wed-
ding gown of white satin with
picture hat and all accessories
to match. Her going away suit
was a brown ensemble
The bride is the very pretty
and Dopular daughter of Chas.
Bittner,Sr., of Weimar and John
is indeed fortunate in winning
this charming young lady for
his life companion.
The groem was born and rear-
ed in our midst, he is a young
man of sterling qualities,popular
and accomplished. He has always
been willing to give of his time
and talents to aid all causes. He
has been especially in demand
in taking part in all stage plays
and programs here. He is the
son of Mrs. John Luecke, Sr.,
of this City and numbers his
friends by his acquaintances.
After the wedding the happy
young couple left on their honey-
moon to points unknown, but
stated they would be in Schulen-
burg by August 1st., to make
their future home in this City
where John intends going into
business.
The Sticker joins this popular
young couple's many friends in
extending congratulations and
sincerely hopes that their matri-
monial bark has onegr and sweet
sail upon the sea of happiness
and prosperity.
Brauner 4nd SehuJz
Easy Victors
In the local Commissioner's
race Otto Brauner was re-elected
by a vote of 1355 against Schil-
hab 135 votes. Brauner carrying
every box in Precinct 4 by a big
majority.
Chas. Schulz running for Con-
stable in Precinct 8 piled up a
heavy vote, 609 to 72 for Beck.
Chas. Schulz also carried every
box in his precinct by a heavy
vote.
Coach Powers, C. A. Penning-
ton and Elimar Helmcamp re-
turned Monday from the Coach-
ing School at Lubbock. They re-
turned via Overton where they
visited Mr. Power's parents.
Rev. PiepenbroR and the mem-
bers of the League and several
of the parents plan to leave
about Wednesday of next week
for Palacois to enjoy a day's trip
at sea and to indulge in some sea
fishing.
Mr.andMrs. Gus Sengelmann,
Jr.,and Miss Eunice Sengelmann
motored here to spend Sunday
with their father, Gus Sengel*
mann, Sr., and Mrs. Ida Flocke
and family. They report that
Mrs. Gus Sengelmann, Sr., is
regaining her strength and im-
proving in health.
Keuper Bros, are Moving
Their Store to the Former
Etlinger Motor Location
Keuper Bros., are this week
moving their store out of the
building that they have occupied
for about tweutyfi^e years to
the Sengelmann building located
on Anderson Street,which form-
erly housed the Etlinger Motor
Co. This building is practically
new, it contains 50x100 feet in-
side floor space and will make a
wonderful General Merc., Co.,
building. This store will be so
arranged that it will very much |
resemble a community center of
a large City, except that here it
will all be under one roof. There
will be the Grocery Department,
laid out in the latest dictates of
correct style. There will be the
Dry goods,Ready-to-Wear,Shoes,
etc , all fixed in new ways to
show the goods. There will be 1
the hardware and implementj
department. Then in the rear of
the Grocery Department the
Meat Market will fill the entire
center ef that section. Thus giv-
ing a complete service under one
roof. The sky lights in the top
will provide ample light so that
everything can be displayed to
the best advantage.
This move, we uuderstand,was
made to effect a big saving in
rent and to give Keuper Bros., a
more modern building in which
to do business. Unless rents
come down we understand there
will be a lot of moving taking
place. Some landlords have not
reduced rents on business
houses or residences at all dur-
ing all of this depression.-We be-
lieve a reduction would be in or-
der rather than lose a tenant
who pays his rent and take a
chance getting another who may
pay and may not.
Keuper Bros, expect to be
completely located in their new
location and doing business by
Monday, August 1st.
Schulenburg Man
Robbed in San Antonio
Ludwig Dittrich,who is an em-
ployee of the S. P. Railroad, was
walking down East Com-
merce St., San Antonio, to catch
the train for Schulenburg, when
a man stepped up to him and
pushed a pistol in his side and
commanded him to walk around
the corner, there the hi-jacker
took Ludwig's purse, opened it
and removed $13.00 in cash, then
gave the purse back and told
him to beat it. This happened
about 11 o'clock Friday night.
Losing "the money was bad
enough but we figure Ludwig is
lucky that he escaped injury.

The first Commercial Oil well
to strike pay was hit nine miles
west of Garwood. The well is
estimated at from fifty to a hun-
dred million cubic feet of gas
per day. It is the intention of
the owners to drill off sets at
once. As a rule where such a
volume of gas is encountered oil
is always found nearby.
According to the Eagle Lake
Headlisrht the principal owner of
this well is the Governor of the
State of New Hampshire and his
associates with Arthur J. Coyle
of San Antonio also a heavy own-
er. These men have leased 20,000
acres in that section, so it would
seem that an oil and gas field
will be assured in Colorado Coun-

Bring in Oil Well
on Wolters Land
The old saying is: "You c
always miss, sometime you ai
bound to hit". Oil wells hav
been drilled on Wolters' land
each time it has been a dry h
This week, however, the Te
Oil Company drilled a well on
land belonging to R. A. and O.H.
Wolters, near Richmond, and
brought in a well estimated to be
good for 1500 barrels per day.
They have immediately gotten
busy to drill other offsets. This
well is on a 100-acre tract and the
only piece of land that the Texas
Company has in this section.The
discovery well in this field is on
a 6000 acre block belonging to
Cullen and West interests. Wol-
ters of Schulenburg own another
tract of 1200 acres only about a
mile and a half from this hun*
dred acre tract on which this
well was brought in Monday. It
is very possible that oil will also
be found on that tract. Julius
Schwartz and Henry J. Schaefer
have leased a hundred acres of
the big tract from Wolters and
have hopes that they too may
get in on this oil find.
Myke Klein stated he made an
agreement with Oscar Wolters
whereby Oscar is to build a golf
course and Club House after he
gets his first Million salted down.
Everyone rejoices with Wolters
over this oil well and sincerely
hope that others afe added in
short order.
Oscar was here Monday and
stated all he knew ji^put this
well was what he had beeQ-"told
and was not even excited enough
to go down and see the oil flow
from his well. If that had been
most of us we would have been
down there bathing in that oil.
