SECOND HALF SOFT BALL
SEASON STARTS MONDAY
The second half cf the soft ball
season will start Monday night. The
schedule has not been completed yet
but will be finished in time to be

There will be several changes in
the league this half. Two new teams,
Stokes Bros, and Camp Miriam, will

BE CAREFUL OF TRASH FIRES
It is very dry and it is easy to
start a fire that might cause serious
damage. When burning trash you
should be careful that there is no
dead grass around that might catch
and take the flames to some nearby
fence or building. Be careful about
throwing down cigarettes or cigars
when out in pastures. Grass is get-
ting scarce and it would be quite a

of the men in this camp, for the

morale which is growing higher each
day.

LINDY KIDNAP SUSPECT HELD

In a rather one-sided affair Fri - j and Monday at Mackey’s,
day night the Lady Merchants defeat-
ed the Producers Produce Egg Crack-
ers by a score of 23 to 4. The Mer-
chants were hitting them hard and
playing heads-up ball, despite the
fact that they were minus the ser-
vices of their captain and star play-
er, Alice Seale.
This was the second game these
two teams have played and each team
has won one. In a recent issue of

glad to correct.

days with Waddell Northington and

CHICAGO, July 1.—A man giving
the naffre of Lee Turner, 34, said by
Chicago police to have been sought
as a suspect in the kidnaping of the
infant son_of Colonel and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh, was arrested here Fri-
day.
The man was seized as he walked
from a restaurant. At first police
said he gave the'nanre of “Doc’-’ Jen-
nings.
He denied all knowledge of the kid-
naping and subsequent slaying of the
Lindbergh baby, abducted from the
home of his parents in New Jersey
in March, 1932.
Detectives Roy Van Herik and
James Brennahan qjade the arrest.
They said Turner was an ex-convict
who had served time in federal peni-
tentiaries and in a Missouri prison.
He was taken to the central detec-
tive headquarters for questioning.
One of the arresting detectives who
recently saw Turner’s picture listed
in a detective magazine as one of
those sought in efforts to clear up
America’s greatest kidnaping case
recognized Jennings “as bearing close
resemblance to the picture.”
Word of the arrest immediately
was telegraphed to the department of
justice in Washington.
9th will be in the morning. One of
these games will be softball.
There is no admission charge for
the games and everybody is invited to
witness them. There are some good
ball playersjn the camp and they will
no doubt have a lineup that will be
hard to beat. The boys will appre-
hiate your presence at the games.
DEVELOPMENT OF GOLD IS
BEGUN IN GILLESPIE COUNTY
LLANO, June 30.—Development of
what are reported to be extensive
deposits of gold in northeast part of
Gillespie County began today and first
tests were declared to be “highly
successful.”
The developing company, headed
by A. H. Batholomae, local merchant,
has leased 4000 acres which is said
to bear flour gold assaying from $1
to $15 per tun. A chemist reports
that the top soil on which develop-
ment began today assays $1 per ton.
The company is offering no stock,
royalties or interests of any kind
for sale. .
Recovery of the gold will be by the
new electric-amalgamation process.
In addition to thq Bartholomae
company, two other concerns are
seeking lode mines in this area, which
has been the site of prospecting for
half a century.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rembert and
Miss Shirley Dissen of Houston are
guests in the home of Mrs. J .W.
Townsen. Mr. Rembert and Miss
Dissen will return home Sunday, but
Mrs. Rembert, who will be remember-
as Miss Lillian Margaret Town-
*t* j ec*
sen, will remain for a longer visit.
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Appleman have
moved on a ranch between Menard
and Fort McKavett. These young
people have made many friends in
Lampasas during their stay and we
regret very much to lose them, but
wish them every success in theio new
location.
SHAW TELLS GOVERNOR
HE MAY RESIGN POST ON
REACHING CAPITAL
AUSTIN, June 30.—James Shaw,
Texas banking commissioner, who re-
cently was appointed Texas manager
of the Home Owners Loan Corpora-
tion, Friday advised Governor Miriam
A. Feryuson by letter that he was
leaving for Washington and may tele-
graph her his resignation while there.
Shaw said he had asked directors
of the corporation to allow him until
July 15 to conclude pending affairs
in his office, but that the directors
had indicated they wanted him to
qualify for the office as soon as he
arrived in Washington. In event the
directors insist on immediate qualifi-
cation, Shaw said he would telegraph
his resignation.
The letter was written, Shaw said,
to allow Governor Ferguson time in
which to consider a successor. He
expressed regret that he was unable
to give her earlier notice.
There are quite a number of boys
at Camp Miriam who would be glad
to attend Sunday school and church
in Lampasas if they had some means
of transportation. The Methodist
Church plans to send a number of
cars to the camp Sunday morning
and bring them iir and then return
them in time for the noon meal which
is served at 12 o’clock. It has been
suggested that members of the other
churches also send cars for the boys.
It is not the idea to try and get them
all to attend the Methodist Church
but let hem attend services where
they choose. If you can take your
car it will be appreciated.

NEW YORK, Junp 30.—Suppose
that during a delicate surgical oper-
ation the surgeon should die.
Arnold Javite, 7, and a sufferer
from spinal meningitis, was taken to
the operating room of the Park East
Hospital Thursday. His condition
was grave and the operation a deli-
cate one. It involved the extraction
of a fluid from the spinal column.
Present in addition to the nurse
were doctors Arthur Shifrin, Aaron
Goldblatt and Michael Mislig.
Dr. Goldblatt administered the an-
esthetic. Dr. Shifrin handled the
needle, Dr. Mislig held the tube into
which the fluid was drawn.
The needle had been inserted. The
operation was under way. Seconds
were precious.
Dr. Mislig staggered. He clutched
his breast and whispered, “My heart.”
A nurse caught him as he started
to fall. His weight was too great.
Both dropped to the floor.
On the operating table, unconscious
from the anesthetic, lay a boy criti-
cally ill. Beside the table, on the
floor, lay the 56-year-old surgeon who
had been taking part in the opera-
tion.
The hands of the surgeon holding
the needle continued to move surely.
The medical skill of the other doctor
concentrated on the patient’s reaction
to the anesthetic. A nurse function-
ed smoothly, expertly.
At last it was done. Friday it was
pronounced successful.
When the two surgeons bent over
Dr. Mislig, joining others who had
been summoned, they found him dead.
NO CHANGE IN HIGH-
WAY COMMISSION
Reports are out that D. K. Martin
has resigned as a member of the
State highway commission and had
been appointed to another position.
This statement is not true, according
to Judge J. Tom Higgins who was in
Austin Friday and talked to Mr. Mar-
tin personally. Everything is mov-
ing along as usual in the department.
There are also reports to the effect
that work is to be stopped on High-
way No. 66 in this county. The de-
partment knows nothing of such a
report and they are going right
ahead with the work in this county
and plan to stay on the work until
the road is completed through Lam-
pasas County.

SAN ANGELO, June 30.—More
than $15,000,000, twice the sum ex-
pected when the season opened, is
flowing into the pockets of Texas
ranchmen from their spring wool and
mohair crops.
About 35,000,000 pounds of wool
have been sold in Texas at prices
ranging from a low of 12 to a high
of 28i1/£ cents a pound. The bulk sold
at prices of 20 to 26 cents. It is
expected that the remaining 5,000,-
000 unsold in the state will go at
prices of 25 to 27 cents a pound or
higher. A conservative estimate of
the average price of the 40,000,000
pounds of wool sold in Texas this
season is 22 cents a pound, or a total
of $8,800,000.
In addition, there are from 20,000,-
000 to 25,000,000 pounds of govern-
ment-mortgaged Texas wools con-
signed to Boston dealers.

LEGS DIAMOND’S WIFE FOUND
DEAD IN HER APARTMENT
NEW YORK, June 30.—Mrs. Alice
Diamond, age 32, widow of the slain
gangster, Jack (Legs) Diamond, was
found dead Friday in a Brooklyn
apartment.
An employe of the apartment house
found Mrs. Diamond’s body in a pool
of blood. So far as could be learned,
she was last seen by a doctor June 26.
JVlrs. Diamond had stood by her
gangland husband during his trial at
Troy, N. Y., on charges of torturing
a farmer, allegedly to make him re-
veal who hijacked a load of liquor.
Diamond was acquitted of the tor-
ture charge, but later slain at Al-
bany, N. Y., where he was celebrat-
ing his release. Aftey the death of
her husband, Mrs. Diahiond appeared
in vaudeville..
First examination of the body did
not definitely disclose whether Mrs.
Diamond had been murdered or had
killed herself.
