M’ALLEN HEARS OF
BORDER MASSACRE
McALLEN, Aug. 12.—The story of
the massacre of a Mexican family by |
bandits and the summary execution of I
the four murderers by a band of
vigilantes reached McAllen Thursday.
There was no official confirmation
but numerous citizens of Camargo,
Mexico, across the border from Rio
Grande City, vouched for the accur-
acy of the story. All names were
withheld, possibly it was believed be-
cause the bandits might have had
American citizenship.
Camargo residents said the four
men went to the home of a settler 20

Funeral services for Mr. Gamel
were held Friday afternoon at 4:00
o’clock in the Baptist^-church. The
service was conducted by his pastor,
Rev. A. F. Avant, who was assisted
by Rev. D. JL Kirkpatrick, Rev. Law-
rence Williams and Rev. W. M. Lane.
The deceased had been closely asso-
ciated with the pastors of the city as.
a funeral director and also as a woi'k-
er in the local Red Cross chapter.
The body was taken from the church
to Oak Hill cemetery for interment
and the large crowd of friends gath-
ered at the church and cemetery and
the beautiful floral offerings was a
silent tribute of the high esteem in
which the deceased was held by the
people of Lampasas,
Active pall bearers were: Kyle
Oliver, W. E. Moore, E. M. Pharr,
W. C. Alexander, E. A. Shanks, Roy
Davis, Ed Young and H. J. Abney.
The family had requested that all
other friends should consider them-
selves as honorary pall bearers,

ROSEBUD FRIDAY
LEGAL ACTION DELAYS
WALKER DECISION
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 12.—A
threat of time-consuming court ac-
tion Friday thrust itself into Gov-
ernor Roosevelt’i investigation into
Mayor James J. Walker’s fitness to
remain as chief executive of Ameri-
ca’s first city.
.The litigation menace to an early
disposal of the case arose when a
Supreme Court judge granted a writ
calling on Mr. Roosevelt to defend
his power of judging the mayor. The
governor agreed to withhold a decis-
| ion until after the Supreme Court
meets August 19. Further litigation
possibly would hold back the Gov-
ernor’s final word until the national
election next November when his
democratic candidacy for president
will be submitted to The voters.
Legal advisers to the governor said
* I that was unlikely since such an im-
* | portant matter would insure-speedy
action by all courts.

There was a good delegation from
Lampasas at the Johnson City meet-
ing on Friday night. The beauti-
fication committee on Highway No. 66
called the meeting to* discuss their
work in the building of this highway.
The Johnson City Chamber of Com-
merce served a barbecue to the visit-
ors and it was a very enjoyable af-
fair and a well served barbecue.
' There were delegates from Fort

Falls, Blanco and San Antonio. A

discussing the building of the highway

ing of ox-hoi-n mustaches, three-foot
beards and derby hats, these play-
ful young men reformed or left the
country. But occasionally one puts
in his appearance—sometimes they
come in pairs—and it was the Ave-
nue Cafe’s good fortune to play host
to a couple a few nights ago.
The gentlemen dropped in at the
cafe “for a bite to eat.” It so hap-
pened that their appetites required
about $2.00 worth of “grub,” for
which, they offered to pay only 15c.
At that rate, according to “Chic”
Cheatham, manager, the cafe would
not have realized its regular profit
on the transaction. Argument fail-
ed to convince the guests that the
cafe was entitled to an additional
payment, and the terrible two, in
very harsh and unlady-like tones,
told the cafe employes to go to a
place the criminal editor pays two
bits a month to the preacher to ad-
vise him how to avoid.
Officers were called to arbitrate
the matter, or assist in arranging a
settlement, with the final result that
the gentlemen of the Old West gave
their check for the safe’s check, with
the amount of a long distance tele-
phone call to their banker guaran-
teeing its payment added to the orig-
inal amount.
