Archer City Couple Escape Injury
In Premeditated Highway Smash
Baughman Enters
Race For Sheriff,
Assessor-Collector
A bran new hat—one that has nev-
er before been thrown into the politi-
cal ring—was tossed in this week by
Jeff Baughman who aspires to guide
the destiny of the office of sheriff,
tax assessor and collector cf Archer
county for the next two ’’ears—at
least.
Jeff need: no introduction from
us to the cider residents of Archer
county fcr the simple reason that,
well—he has been here longer than
we have—and is already known to
the old-timers. Jeff, in fact, was born
in Archer county in the year A. D.
1893. and is a member of one of Ar-
cher’s true pioneer families. He has
not spent all his life here—only meet
of it. For several years prior to 1946,
he was employed by an oil company
in Houston, from which job he was
forced to retire due to failing health.
Jeff says he realizes he cannot
take care of the tax assessing and
collecting departments but feels ab-
solutely certain that he can ably, ef-
ficiently ar.d satisfactorily, conduct
that part of the duties involving the
packing of the pistol and wearing of
the tin star—and hire efficient help-
ers to care for the clerical depart-
ments.
Jeff promises that, if elected, he
will do his best to discharge his of-
ficial duties with absolute fairn^s-
to all concerned and with special
privileges to none, and we feel rea-
sonably sure he would do exactly
that.
All that he asks is that he be giv-
en a chance and we earnestly suggest
that you give his candidacy your
most profound consideration before
going to the polls July 24th and
casting your ballot.
Jeff will attempt to «ee each voter
personally and present hi8 plea for
your suRpor*. Weigh him carefully
in the balance before rendering your
final decision.
Two Doctors Plan

Dr. H. S. Bell, of Grafton, Miss.,
was a business vkitcr in this city
from last Friday to sometime this

CHANGED THEIR MINDS
*
*
Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Kunkel, of the
Cottonwood community in south Ar-
cher county, a few mile* north of
Olney, were business visitors in this
city Wednesday. Mr. Kunkel is a
trustee of the Cottonwood rural
■chool district, which was usurped
some time ago by the Olney school
and was here to get legal machinery
in motion preparatory to selling the
Cottonwood auditorium. It was the
original plan of the residents of that
section (o retain the building as a
sort of community building—a .place
where they could »*et together for
entertainment, etc. It seems now.
however, they have found they would
rather be able to get away, should
they desire, than to be compelled to
stay, regardless. Anyway, it is now
their aim and intent to sell the build-
ing: and apply the proceeds to grav-
eling their roads.

ed.
OLNEY FIRM APPOINTED
KRAUSE PLOW DEALER
~Mr. and Mrs. Harold Elmore, of
this city, miraculously escaped with
only miner bruises frem a head-on
crash with another car at 4:30 Wed
nesday mc.rning on the Windthorst
highway about 7 miles east of Ar-
cher City.
The collision occurred under ex-
ceptionally extenuating circumstances
as it -was premeditated by the man
and woman in the car driven head-cn
into the Elmore truck, occupied by
Elmcre and his wife.
According to our information, the
man and woman. Mr. and Mrs. Don-
ald Johns.r* of Wichita Falls, were
estranged, with she having filed ©uit
for divorce about one month ago.
Earlier in the night Tuesday, accord-
ing to allegations, Jdhmson forced
his estranged wife into his car in
Wichita Falls at the point cf a knife.
According to her story, Johnson had
threatened, for several miles before
the crash, that as soon qp he came
to a road leading off the highway
that he intended driving eff on it and
killing her. According to information,
i he couple were quarreline about the
custody of a 4-year-old child at the
time cf the, crash. It is not definitely
known iust which cf the two was
responsible fcr driviner the car head-
on into the truck. According to E!
more. Johnson accused his wife and
she didn’t deny it.
M.r. and Mrs. Elmore removed the
injured pair from the demolished car
and Mrs. Elmore walked two miles
to a farm house where she secured
aid to get the injured man and wo-
man to the Archer hospital.
Elmore and his wife were er. route
to Dallas on business. Elmore’s truck
was practically demolished. The front
axle and both wheels were behind
the truck trailer when the vehicle
stopped.
Mrs. Johnson was removed to a
Wichita Falls hospital where she is
reportedly in serious condition. John-
son is in the Archer hospital with a
severed windpipe, head lacerations, a
broken finger, and numerous body
cuts and bruises. His condition is con-
sidered serious.
Archer and Wichita county officials
are investigating the incident.

Watson’s Wildcats
Winners In First
Baseball Game
Coach Watson’s Wildcat basoba’l
team got off to a flying start last
Friday afternoon in a 5-inning prac-
tice tilt with the Electra Tigers when
they subdued the Electra team by a
score of 10 to 7 on the Electra dia-
mond.
Due to the fact that this was the
first game of the season—and the
first of their lives for all but one of
‘Watson’s hopefuls—their showing
was exceptional.
According to reports, the boys
handled themselves nicely, commit-
ting only a very few mwcues. The
Wildcat battery was composed cf
Danny Powell on the twirling end
and Jerry Burney behind the mask.
* The Wildcats’ home playing field

touches and will be ready for their

cepted an all-summer coaching job

can Legion team, which will also be
a first fcr Archer City.
