June 3, ,1873 j
Mr. Tevis, express messenger,
who came up the road yesterday
noon, gives the following informa-
ion:
At Ennis, a deputy sheriff
came on the train with a prisoner
in irons. The charge against him
was murder, committed in Smith
county. He was taking the pris-
oner to the Dallas jail,, but when
the train reached Palmer the pris-
oner poked his head out of the
car window and asked: "Are any
of my folks here?" Immediately
some six or eight men, a med with
shotguns and several others with
six-shooter?, approached. A por-
tion of them went into the car
and demanded the prisoner of the
ofifcer, who quietly resigned his
charge, saying: "Here he is, lake
him; there are enough of you."
This little dialogue caused quite a
commotion in the car. Several
negroes were on the train and the
recent Groesbeck affair, when
two negroes were captured and
hung, the day before, caused them
to seek shelter under the seats.
The rescued man was at once
mounted on a horse and started
for a blacksmith to have the irons
taken off, his rescuers hallowing
back: "Let's see you take him."
The rescuing party are said to
be all relatives of tie prisoner.
His wife and daughter were with
them the former armed with a
knife and the J.Vter with a six
shooter.
There are three indictments
against the man—two for attemp-
ted murder and one for a murder
committed in 1860.
June 3, 1837
J. A. Euper received and filled
an order for iorty gallons of ice
cream for the social held at Potts-
boro Wednesday evening and flf-
ten gallons for the social given by
the ."Y's" in this city, besides
filling a nmber of orders from
eight to twelve gallons, all during
the past week. Euper's has be-
come the .recognized headquarters
for ice cream and other summer
refreshments, and his fine ico
ceam parlors arc crowded nightly.
Wednesday even'ng about 6
o'clock, a Frenchman who was
largely under the influence of li-
quor, began to yell and cut up on
Main street near the co.ncr of
Houston avenue and made such a
noise that Sipeaial Policeman
Crowell thought he had better be
taken to quarters where he could
enjoy, himself without attrocting
so much notice. Ho accordingly
tried to march the noisy one off,
but found himself unequal to the
task. While he was working with
him, Policeman Simms and Nelms
appeared on the scene and took
hold to asist in taking the fellow
to jail, but before they got him
across the block to jail, he had
laid down, refusing to walk, while
his 'bellowing and howling could
be heard for blocks. A passing
express wagon was stopped and
the noisy inebriate loaded into it
and conveyed to jail.
A pleasant surprise party was
tendered Tuesday evening to Rev.
T. E. Sherwood, on the occasion
of his r 2nd birthday. The sur-
prising contigents were the young,'
people of his church and they
ronde the occasion a very enjoy-
able one for all concctned.

(Continued on Tage 4)
Duke of Windsor, said "I do" in
response to a wedding ceremony
I performed by ta rector in the
j Church of England.
The woman was Mrs. Wallis
Warfield, against whom the frig-
id hand of the official British
empire turned its chilly blast to
cool the ceremonies by denying
her the title of "royal highness"
leaving only the title of duchess.
The civil ceremony was first, to
be followed after cocktails by the
religious ceremony, which was ov-
er at 11:47 a. m. The religious
cermony. was in French, being
performed by Hev. R. Anderson
Lardine, who stated he acted with-
oin his own personal prerdjLtlve
as a minister. *
"This is the happiest day of my
life," the duke declared and fol-
lowed it with the statement that
he wished to make it the same for
her. He spared no expense to
that end and secured for her the
finest he could buy in the way of
wedding clothes.
A diamond studded diadem was
placed on the duchess by the
duke, a peisona! gift from the
husband.
ANOTHER MERCHANT
PAYS HIS FINE
The second merchant, of six
arrested for impeding sidewalks
with merchandise, pled guilty as
charged and paid a fine of $4.45
in city court Wednesday after-
noon. He had originally intended
fighting the case with the four
remaining 'business men, but
changed his mind at the trial.

which may bounce back on him
when he suspended Jerome Her-
| man Dean, inasmuch as Dizzy is
j one of the most colorful players
in the game today, barring none.
He can pull more fans through
the turnstiles to the tune of clink-
ing silver, than any man playing
major league ball at the present
time, and unless he is reinstated
shortly—as we suspect he will be
—the fnancial slump of St. Louis
will be terrible for the moguls to
behold. Dizzy, who spoke his
mind, more because of the color
than anything else, just talked
too much, Frick said, and the Na-
tional loop leader demanded a
written apology from the great
one. Natuially, Dizzy, who has
several times told Ford to stick
his head in a barrel of water, is-
p't going to do any such thing
arid there may be some bitter
words thrown back and forth be-
fore the matter is cleared up.
Then again the whole thing may
be a publicity stunt to bring in
the public to ball parks. Publicity
is valuable to baseball as much as
anything else and those things
have happened before. However,

lowing which the Card big shots
and players can sleep soundly
without waking in their sleep,
their ears tingling with some sar-
castic remark thought up and de-
kidnaping of Glenn Byrd, 26-
year-old Dallas policeman, Wed-
nesday.
Byrd, released and handcuffed
to a tree near Sherman with his
own cuffs, was found by a farm-
er shortly afterwards, who chop-
ped down the tree and brought
him to the Sherman police of-
fice to report the crime and the
kidnapers. Byrd's patrol car and
cash were taken by the father and
son.
The Huttos, arrested by Byrd,
were enroute to the county jail as
burglary suspects, when they ov-
erpowered the office and, at the
point of a gun, forced him to
drive to a Dallas address, where
they picked up another man, be-
lieved to be another Hutto.
Leaving Dallas, the men drove
near Sherman, stopped the car,
forced Byrd to a small tree and
handcuffed him. He had been
forced to remain in a lying po-
sition in the rear of the car with
his face partially covered, with an
old shirt.
Byrd said the father and son
said they "had been kicked
around enough by cops."
At the time of the kidnaping,
a small crowd gathered about the
car, but would pay little heed to
Byrd's pleas for help.
The elder Hutto was convicted
of robbery with firearms on Feb.
2, 1932 in Dallas county and en-
tered Huntsville penitentiary a
month later.
The younger Hutto has been ar-
rested and charged numerous
times with automobile theft and
each time has escaped trial, al-
though on two occasions he was
captured while driving a stolen
automobile and in other instances
identified as the man who sold
stolen automobiles and stolen
parts. Several indictments against

E. E. Rogers, prinicpal of Elec-
tra high school for the past eleven
years, has been named principal
of the Denison high school to re-
place B. McDuniel, recently ap-
pointed superintendent of schools,
according to action taken by the
school board here.
Rogers, 39, and married, taught
in the Electra schools four years
prior to his principalship, coming
there from Clara, Texas, follow-
ing his graduation with a B. A.
degree from Howard Payne col-
lege in 1923. He received his
'Masters degree from Southern
Methodist University at Dallas in
1930.
Besides his principalship at
Electra, Mr. Rogers coached bas-
ketball and debate with marked
success.
He will assume his duties with
the local school two weeks be-
fore the opening of the 1937-38
term in September, Mr. McDaniel
said.
The principalship was filled at
the board meeting last Saturday
night, but was not announced on
request of Mr. Rogers.
