officers Monday night when he
was discovered in the act of tak-

Appeal to officers was made by
Anton Fertsch, state engineer, aft-
er hundreds of gallons of gas had
been taken from tractors In the
Hochheim vicinity.
Officers hid in the brush nearby

from the Hochheim Prairie
section the other day sent in

Discovering the hiding officers, the
boys fled, however, leaving behind
the cans In which they apparently
had intended to carry off their
loot
Shortly thereafter Smith and a
companion approached the tractor,
and while in the act of draining
the gas, were halted by officers.
Both men ran, Smith halting after
several shots had been Ifred at his
feet. The other man escaped.
Smith told offi t 's he was unable
to name his companion. Smith
entered a plea of guilty on two

Officers expressed the opinion

Three children were horn to them.
In 1883, he moved to the South,
having made connections with a
company at Marion, Alabama. He
was employed as salesman and
soon saw the possibilities of the
cotton oil business. A year later,
with B. Gaston of Montgomery,
Ala., he built the first cotton oil
mill at Paris, Texas. There were
but eight other plants of the kind
in Texas at that time.
The Paris Oil Works, as it was
called, was sold in 1887, and Mr.
Culbertson went to Little Rock,
Ark., and assumed management of
an oil plant. Four years later he
returned to Paris and organized
the Paris Oil and Cotton Company
and built the present mill of the
Southland Cotton Oil Company.
Latov he constructed similar mills
at Corsicana, Temple and Waxa-
hachie, Texas; Jackson, Miss.,
Shreveport, La., and Waynewood
and Chandler,yjkla. Further plants
were acquired'- and the Southland
Cotton Oil Company was formed
with ten mills and about 40 gin-
neries. Culbertson was vice-presi-
dent of this company.
During the World War he aided,
in Washington, in organizing the
cottonseed and cottonseed products
bureau of the National Food Ad-
ministration.
As one of the most distinguished
citizens of his adopted home city
Mr. Culbertson was presented the
Citizens Cup of Paris In 1926 and
in .1928 was designated the first
recipient of the distinguished cit-
izens certificate awarded annually
by the Paris post of the American
Legion.
He was especially held in esteem
by his fellow townsmen because
of a long list of public benefac-
tions made over a long period of
years.
He had interests in Tulsa and
Oklahoma City, acquired in the
early days of those cities. He was
active in civic and public welfare
work in Paris and was a senior
warden in the Episcopal Church.
He was an art patron and his
private collection was considered
one of the most Important in
north Texas.
