KILLEEN CAGE STAR
HAS FOOT CUT OFF
Garland Lane 16 year old son
of John Lane of Killeen and a
member of the Killeen high
school basketball team was ser-
iously hurt about 11 o'clock
Tuesday morning about one mile
west of Killeen. He was. late in
getting to school and is said to
have hopped on a freight train
as it slowed down for a grade
about four miles from Killeen.
He thought that the train would
stop at the water tank but it
did not and he is believed to
have tried to jump off.
He was brought to Temple on
a local passenger train No. 92.
Temple Telegrim.
Temple Feb. 22 A gang that
robbed Hempel's Jewelry store
Roddy Brothers' department
store and Papa George's depart-
ment store here arid is believed
to have planned other robberies
was broken into by officers sev
eral days ago.
Loot was recevored at Marlin
that has been identified as a part
of that taken from Hempel Jew
elry store from Roddy Brothers
and from Papa George's store.
Only a small part of each has
been recovered however.
The gang suspected in the
robberies was making tempo-
rary headquarters at Marlin
but was said to be from the Bor-
ger oil filed and to have ramifi-
cations there and elsewhere
which have not yet been unrav-
.eled.
Only two arrests have been
made a man and woman being
arrested -and placed in the Bel-
ton jail on burglary charges.
It is expected that other ar-
rests will follow and there is'
hope of recovering more of the
loot.'
It is ibelieved that this gang
staged the three big robberies in
Temple and probably the one at
Hillsboi-o.

starting in the Connon black-
smith shop here Sunday after-

exploded and spread the fire.
The Freeman Taylor Mercantile
company was heavily damaged
and a lumber yard suffered some

The local fire apparatus got
the blaze under control saving
