TOM LEVINS MET TRAGIC DEATH
NEAR WACO MONDAY NIGHT.
Another shadow of gloom
was spread over Bartlett and vi
cinity Tuesday morning when
the news reached here that Tom
Levins son of Mrs. Mary Lev-
ins of this city was mysterious-
ly iburned to death in a Chevro-
let coupe about 9 o'clock Mon-
day night near the town of Elm
Mott nine miles north of Waco.
Tom was employed by the Kil-
patrick Chevrolet company here
and left about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon for Monroe La. to
deliver the coupe for his compa-!e?
ny. The remains were brought
to Bartlett Tuesday and Wed-
nesday afternoon funeral servi-
ces were held at the Methodist
church conducted by Rev. S. J.
Rucker and Rev. C. E. Eskridge.
Interment was made in the Bart-
lett cemetery. Many beautiful
floral offerings covered the
grave evidencing the esteem in
which deceased was held.
Tom Levins was born Janu-
ary 8 1890 and died Feb. 28
1927 being 37 years 1 month
and 20 days of age. He was
reared in and near Bartlett and
during the past ten or twelve
years has applied himself as an
automobile mechanic ranking
among the best workmen in the
state. At the time of his tragic
death he was in the employ of
the Kilpatrick Chevrolet compa-
ny of this city who placed ut-
most confidence in him as a me-
chanic and salesman. He pos-
sessed all the attributes of suc-
cess efficiency reliability and
honesty. These attributes made
him friends not only with his
employers but with those whom
he came into contact with daily.
Many times he has answered the
can oi distress in tne ciarK coin
hours of the night and towed
the wrecked cars and bruised
passengers to safety. Although
he was seldom free from pain
he did this work uncomplain-
i"Sly.
He was loyal to his friends
and the many acts of kindness
done by him in his profession or
trade caused many tears to be
shed as they looked upon the
casket which contained the body
of one whom they had often en-
trused their lives and the lives
of their loved ones when jour-
neying from one end bf the
state to the other with Tom at
the wheel. Not only was he
trustworthy as a driver but he
was likewise trustworthy as a
gentleman and the essence of
honor.
To his aged mother he was'
devoted and it was always his
pleasure to do that which pleas
ner Not only will she miss
him but he will be missed from
the business life of Bartlett and
his memory will live in the
minds of all who knew him best.
Besides his mother he is sur-
vived by a sister Mrs. J. R.
Holstine and a brother Sam
Levins of this city. To them
the Tribune extends condolence.
The following is the only ac-
count obtainable of the sad af-
fair :
Officers say that a man com-
ing up behind the Levins car
noticed that it was being diiven
badly and followed it for some
distance to see what was the
matter. Finally it was driven
the right hand side of the road
and stopped and the lights were
put out. The man then passed
on but when he arrived at the
edge of town some half a mile
distant from the car he looked
back and the car was enveloped
in flames. He gave the alarm
the officers came but so intense
was the heat that they could
not do anything for a consider-
able time and then the body was
burned .beyond recognition.
Sam Levins brother accom-
I panied by Mr. L. B. Kilpatrick
0f this city went at once to the
'scene and identified the body by
his knife pliers and watch and
. the dealer's license number was
on the car to identify it. Some
J advanced the theory that he was
robbed and then burned to hide
the robbery but the man who
passed the car says that there
was but one in the car when he
passed it and the officers say
that he is a good and reliable

WILLIAMSON COUNTY
TAX REPORT MADE
Georgetown Tex. Feb. 26.
The commissioners' court of
Williamson county was in oxtra
session here this week checking
and approving the January re-
port of Tax Collector Sam V.
Stone who in turn filed the re-
port with the comptroller of
Texas for state appioval. and
although cue of the larger of
Texas counties in point of funds
collected ia taxes the report was
among thp first filed. The col-
lections oT taxes in January
amounted to $306331.68. In
1925 the collections in January
amounted to $427052.15 but
the lax rate was 13 cents on the
S100 valuation higher in 1925
than 1926. Taking this into
consideration there was practi-
cally as much property paid on
this year as last despite the de-
pressed conditions alleged to be
prevailing.
GAME COMMISSIONER
- MAKES APPOINTMENTS
Austin Mar. 1. Two appoint-
ments were announced Monday
by Will Tucker Fish Game and
Oyster Commissioner to be ef-
fective immediately. Beal P.
Jester of Round Rock was nam-
ed chief deputy succeeding
Fred E. Morris and J. A. Wil-
kerson of Rockwall was an-
nounced as superintendent of
the Bill Sterrett fish hatchery
at Dallas.
man. Others say that Levins
was subject to sick spells and
that one of these came on him
and that he stopped the car on
this account but this does not
explain how the car caught on
fire.
Ashes of a burned cigarette
were found on some of the parts
of the car which might indicate
that he was smoking and set the
car on fire but on the other
hand the cigarette might have
rolled out of his pocket after his
clothes were burned off of him.
$6.00 in silver was found in the
car another evidence that he
was not robbed else all of the
money would have been taken

BLAND & CO. FEED STORE
AT TAYLOR BURNED
Taylor Feb. 26. A fire of
unknown origin completely de-
stroyed the feed house of the
Howard Bland company on Eastx
Second street here about 8
o'clock Friday night. Loss to
the condern was estimated 'at
something over $5000 accord-
ing to Mr. Bland. A house ad-
joining belonging to Mrs. G. E.
King was partially destroyed by
flames that were carried in that
direction by the wind. The
Bland property is only partially-
covered by insurance it va&
said.

summarized as follows : 2f;n ton
of cotton seed 1600 bushels of
corn. 1.500 tons of rotton ppH

TAYLOR-COUPLAND
HIGHWAY COMPLETED
Taylor. Feb. 28. Tho Tnvlor.
Coupland hitrhwav to hr Wil
liamson county line was comfg
pietea Sunday morning aboutiU
o'clock making an excellent!
gravel road for about ten arid
one-third miles out of Taylor.
work on this road has been
rushed on account of the bad
mud road that had to be travel-
ed while construction work was
taking place. Three courses for
this road were considered one
parallel with the railroad which
would have necessitate! hnHriiTiP-
bridges over Boggy branch an
other between the old road and
the parallel road. Then the fi-
nal decision that the old route
was most satisfactory resulted
in the construction along the
old highway. This makes a
very good road to the Travis
county line which in time will
be connected up with a good
highway south to Houston and
Galveston it is hoped.
