TEXAS IS WITHOUT
RANGER PROTECTION
Austin, Texas, Jan. 16.—For the
first time since 1874, when the Texas
ranger forces were organized, the
State of Texas was without ranger
protection today in compliance with
a pei-petual injunction granted yester-
day by the Fifty-Seventh District
Court at San Antonio. The order to
suspend operations was sent to the
five ranger captains during the morn-
ing by Adjutant General Thomas D.
Barton, after a conference with Adju-
tant General C. A. Wheeler.
The orders were sent to Captains
B. C. Baldwin, San Antonio; R. G.
Nichols, Marshall; Jerry Gray, Del
Rio; W. L. Wright, Laredo, and Tom
Hickman, Waco. The orders instruct-
ed the captains to suspend all opera-
tions until further advice from the
adjutant general’s deparment.
This move was in compliance wiih
the determination of both the adju-
tant general's department and the at-
torney general to comply “religiously”
to every mandate of the San Antonio
trial court.
The attorney general’s office is now
preparing to carry the fight to the
supreme court if necessary to test the
rulings of the trial court. A motion
for appeal will be argued before the
district court tomorrow morning and
at that time an effort will be made to
suspend the injunction pending action
by the Fourth Court of Civil Appeals
at San Antonio. Wheeler explained
that should the judge refuse to set the
injunction aside there would be no
recourse and the state would continue
to be without ranger protection until
the case is disposed of in the higher
courts. There is no appeal from a
discretionary ruling of a court, Wheel-
er explained.
Wheeler explained also that the
suit had been dismissed as to Gover
nor Neff and that the injunction had
no effect upon him whatever. Wheeler
pointed out that a chief executive of
a state can not be restrained by a civ-
il court, action.
Barton was ill this morning, and
after sending his orders to the rang-
er captains, retired and could not be
reached by newspaper men. Governor
Neff would not make a statement.
Assistant Attorney General Wheel
er expressed confidence that the laws
of 190-1 and as amended-in 1919 would
be held constitutional in the higher
courts and expressed hope that the
trial judge would set aside the injunc
tion pending appeal.

Miss Ollie Lloyd left Saturday
morning for Fort Worth where she
goes to visit her sister, Mrs. Herbert
Needham. — Her sister, Miss Nellie
Lloyd, who' has been sick is now able
to- be up and will resume her school
work Monday.
Miss Alma Townsend and her broth
er went to Copperas Cove Saturday
morning where their parents, Mr. and

LAMPASAS TO HAVE
■ -SUMMER RATES
Secretary of the Chamber of Com-
merce Roy L. Walker is in receipt of
i letter from W. S. Keenan, of the
Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe, stating
that Lampasas will be given a! sum-
mer rate of one and one-third fare,
the same as has been given us the
past two or three years.
This is one fact that is not adver-
tised sufficiently to get the full bene-
fits of the results that would accrue
if a more vigorous advertising cam-
paign were put on. In this day of au-
tomobiles the railroad fare is almost
the first consideration when people
begin to plan a summer vacation or
trip, and if it is thoroughly adver-
tised that Lampasas has summer
rates we would receive more travel
over the railroads.

the home farm here, who says she is
a veteran of the Civil War, is seeking
a Government pension, Mrs. Johnson
claims she fought beside men in the
Civil War and information received

her story is true.

ton, a “Mrs. Peter Johnson” fought
in the Union forces under the name
of Joseph Saul, which is the name she
claims she used.
Mrs. Johnson maintains she joined
the Union ranks to be near Thomas
Hill, son of her adopted parents.

RAINFALL NEAR HALF INCH
A light rain began falling* the early
part of Friday night and continued at
intervals during Saturday. Up to 9
a. m..the government rain gauge reg-
itesred .45 of an inch of rain, and at
least .5 of an inch of rain has fallen
since that time. It was a surprise to
most people to find that the rain had
frozen and icicles were hanging from
trees, and the* ground covered with
ice Saturday morning. The ice has
melted somewhat, but there is plenty
still on the ground and everywhere.
