CHURCH GIVES ITS REASON
FOR REMOVING PASTOR
Cameron, Aprl 23.—Because Rev.
H. G. Kenney has refused to sign
“without mental reservations” cer-
tain sections of the dogma of the
Presbyterian Church he was consid-
ered “out of harmony with the
church” and was therefore relieved
of his First Church pastorate here.
This was reasons given to members
of the church this afternoon by Rev.
Stonewall J. McMurry of Bartlett, the
stated clerk of the Central Texas
Presbytery, who was named chair-
man of a commission of seven to come
here to inform’ the 'local congregation
why this action had been taken.
Doctor McMurry declared that two
o fthe main parts of the Presbyterian
code which their pastor would not sign
without mental reservations were on
the deity of Jesus Christ and the in-
spired books of the bible.
Tuesday Rev. Mr. Kenney is expect-
ed to issue a full statement outlining
his views.
Doctor McMurry read part of the
minutes of the recent sessions of the
presbytery at Clifton and also in Jan-
uary at Temple.
Romans O’Hair, who is a student in
the University of Texas, Austin, spent
the past week-end here in the home of
his mother, Mrs. T. R. O’Hair.

LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE
AMERICAN LEGION RODEO
Monday’s Rodeo and Boxing con-
test was witnessed by an enthusias-
tic crowd of some fifteen hundred.
The afternoon’s *entertainment was,
first, a parade through the downtown
section by the Lampasas Gold Medal
Band and the American Legion Drum
and Bugle Corps, fifty-one strong.
Following the arrival of the band
at the park the bucking broncs were
turned loose, and next came the
riding of the Bramah steers. Both the
horses and the steers were “plenty”
v/ild and several of the riders were
not too gently lifted from their
backs and seated on the ground, while
those that did stay astride their
mounts experienced some difficulty in
so doing.
After the rodeo performances the

bout being between Kid Collins of
Temple, and Battling Shotgun of
Lampasas, two Africans. After the
second or third blow Battling Shot-
gun was floored and refused to arise
within the ropes. Kid Collins is a
very good fighter and would no
doubt have furnished the audience a
good exhibition could a suitable op-
ponent been obtained.
The next match between two ne-
groes went the scheduled six rounds,
and though from a boxing standpoint
was rether poor, as entertainment it
was rather good.
The feature of the afternoon’s box-
ing, a ten round bout between Jack
Doss of Lampasas and Temple and
Jack Dorsey of Pennsylvania went
the full distance and furnished lots
of thrills. It was an excellent match,
these men being of practically the
same weight and very evenly match-
ed. Doss was awarded the decision,
winning six of the ten rounds. A
little blood was drawn in this bout,
Doss landing several blows about
Dorsey’s face and head, bringing the
blood from his cheek, nose and mouth.
Several times during the fight both
fighters abandoned all caution and ex-
changed numbers of blows in the cen-
ter of the ring, the honors’ being
.about even after each such exchange.
At intervals throughout the after-
noon music was rendered by the band.
The Legion is to be complimented
on their program, it was varied, in-
teresting, amusing and well worth the
admission charge. It was announced
Monday afternoon that the -Legion
would again sponsor a like entertain-
ment on July 4th at the Fair Park.
Monday was the second public ap-
pearance to have been made by the
Legion Drum and Bugle Corps. A
marked improvement was shown since
their march! around the square about
two weeks ago. The members of the
corps are, in the opinion of the citi-
zenship, doing exceedingly well and
both Director Ronald and the mem-
bers deserve credit for their rapid
progress.

SMALLPOX RAMPART
IN NEGRO DISTRICT
Hillsboro, Texas, April 23.—A re-
upheld the sentence of three months in
jail imposed upon him, but the high-
est court refused to re-eonsider that
opinion.
Mr. Sinclair’s sentence calls for
him to serve the sentence in a “com-
mon jail.” It has been expected that
port from City Health Officer Dr. W. he would be committed to the Dis-
trict of Columbia jail here, although
there has been speculation as to
whether he might be sent to the
workhouse at Occoquan, Va., a few
miles from Washington.
I. Arledge states that there are 39
cases of smallpox in the colored dis-
trict of Hillsboro, with three new cas-
es having developed within the past
week. Over 500 people have been vac-
cinated and 12 quarantines have been
established.
Dr. Arledge states that no cases
have been reported to him from the
white people of the city but that he
advises everyone to be vaccinated.
