GETS 50 YEARS
PEN SENTENCE
better homes and garden
CONTESTS SOON TO CLOSE
C. R. (Red) Wilson, alleged hold-
up man and robber of tne Fir
National Batik, at Lipan, January
8, 1926, was given a flfty-year pen-
itentiary sentence Thursday morn-
ing by a jury in the 29th Judicial
District Court. The case was trans-
ferred to Erath county from Hood
county where Wilson was tried in
\ 1927, receiving in that court a 35-
year sentence. ..
At the time of the robbery Wil-
son was accompanied by Robert
Barnard and Harve Ennis, and the
trio escaped with $2,300 in cash of
the bank’s funds. Claud Hatchett,
cashier, Ray Simmons and Gorman
Hunt, bookkeepers, were the only
people inside the bank building at
the time the robbery was com-
*ittt6d.
$ For several months Wilson was
♦t large but was later captured in
Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Barnard was
tried and given a 36-year sentence
and is now serving the penalty.
Harve Ennis was tried in Palo
Pinto county where he received a
29-year sentence but he later es-
caped and is now at large.
The trial created no little inter-
est and was attended by a large
crowd. Defendant was represented
by Morrison, Mays A Miller, while
District Attorney Sam Russell took
care of the prosecution.
CLEBURNE ATTORNEY
FOUND SHOT FATALLY
(By Elmo White)
Since I have been named to work
with the Better Homes and Gar-
den committee, I have become
greatly interested in seeing all
yards and flower gardens kept up
to a state of high perfection in
Stephenville. It is my frank opin-
ion that nothing adds more to the
welfare of this city than well kept
yards and gardens. It would be
hard to imagine any visitor passing
through Stephenville not being fa-
vorably impressed if all the yards
and gardens were in a state of good
cultivation.
There is also a lot of personal
satisfaction in having a pretty
yard. Once thoroughly worked out
and clean, with growing flowers
and shrubbery, it’s not a hard mat-
ter to keep any yard, but a little
time and effort during each day
will take care of the yard and gar-
den. Many homes have been im-
proved to such an extent by pretty
yards and gardens that if they
were to be placed on the market
they would bring several hundred
dollars more than they would have
under other conditions.
The time for the Better Homes
and Gardens Contest is fast draw-
ing to a close. Begin now to pre-
pare your yards and gardens for
the final test.
J. R. (Bob) Keith, former county
attorney of Johnson county and
prominent in American Legion cir-
cles in Cleburne, was found dead

Hazel Keith, day chief operator
for the Gulf States Telephone
Company and Mrs. Effie McGill,

ment, his neck being broken in the
fall. Four firemen Were thrown off

truck was badly damaged. The fire
truck turned on its side, righted
itself and continued on down the

by the driver. Bent fenders was
the only damage done to the fire

SMALLPOX REPORTS ABOUT
GLEN ROSE ERRONEOUS
Reports that have been circulated
Reports that have been circulated
over Texas concerning the smallpox
situation in Glen Rose are errone-
ous, said E. A. Davis, Glen Rose
business man, who was in Steph-
enville Tuesday. “We have only
eight cases in the county and they
have been under quarantine for the
past several weeks, and these eight
cases are confined to seven fami-
lies," said Mr. Davis. Three of the
cases are sufficiently recovered that
they were released Tuesday and the
others will be recovered sufficiently
to leave their quarters next week,
according to Mr, Davis. Circulars
bearing affidavits from the county
judge, county health officer and
mayor of Glen Rose were circulat-
ed all over Erath county Tuesday.
Mr. Davis, who at one time lived
in the Johnsville- country, is well
remembered in this county and his
statement of facts concerning the
condition in Glen Rose is enough to
convince local people that the small
pox epidemic there has been great-
ly exaggerated.
Miss Ruth Allison, who has been
in Denton this summer attending
C. I. A., is at home for the remain-
ing part of the summer with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Alli-
son.
HAMILTONIANS
HERE TO BOOST
CELEBRATION
A motor carhyan of twenty-five
cars, made up of Hamilton busi-
ness men, was in Stephenville for
a short time Wednesday morning
advertising the American Legion
Picnic and Paving Celebration to
be held in Hamilton July 4 and 5.
A band, made up of musicians from
Carlton and Hico, traveled with
the body and while here played a
short concert on the court house
square. J. E. Corpigan was spokes-
man for the delegation and extend-
ed a formal invitation to Stephen-
ville and Erath county people to
join with Hamilton in the fete.
Hamilton people are optimistic
over the progress that has been
made in that city during recent
years and are quite anxious to have
a large number oif visitors present
for the July event. A paving pro-
gram started moke than one year
ago has just been completed and
now the city boasts of more than
five miles of pavement. Other mod-
ern improvements have also been
made with the result that Hamil-
ton will be able to present an ultra
modern appearance.
Thursday night the square will
be roped off and an old time folk-
lore song and dance program will
be in evidence. Other features of
the two days’ program include fire-
works display, speaking by Frank
Norris and Alvin Owsley, baseball
games, band concerts and a variety
of other entertaining numbers.
LEFTHANDERS
SHOWING REAL
GOLF ABILITY
Many people can well remember
when the left-handed batter in
baseball was the object of various
jokes. He was deemed to be all
wrong in his batting and when he
appeared at bat, the wisecracks al-
ways took a poke at him,, The left-
handed golfer is passing through
this same period at this time, and
he is supposed to be the wildest
specimen of a golfer known, and
many good jokes are handed him
from all sides. However, the local
left-handers, including such men as
Borders, Bassel, Mitchell, F. Carl-
ton, Fulcher, C. O. Blakeney, Wis-
dorff, and Higgs, are giving a good
account of themselves during the
local tournament which is now in
progress on the local course.
Portsider Blakeney is setting
some rather low marks for the
clan of Frey, Carlton, Moss, Tay-
lor and company to shoot at, while
Mitchell led a fast field of right-
handers in the qualifying round. To
get still farther ahead in the golf-
ing field, Coach Wisdom drove the
white pellet from No. 3 tee to the
branch, a distance of 320 yards
while playing Tuesday, a feat no
right hander has accomplished. No
doubt, the right-handers will bun-
gle many a shot trying to match
this feat, especially such long hit-
ters as Messers. Moss, Frey, Carl-
ton, Goodwin and G. Blakeney.
Miss Ersie Kern Ator, of LiP*P>
is visiting Miss Allcne Perrji thjfi
week.
WHO WILL RECIEVE
THE $25.00 PRIZE?
July 10th is judging day for the
prettiest flower garden in Stephen-
ville. Someone will recieve the
$25.00 Lions’ Club prize.
Tuesday, July 2nd is designated
clean-up and weed cutting day. We
hope Stephenville will be the clean-
est town in Texas as well as the
prettiest town in Texas. It is not
too late to plant hedges and shrubs.
The writer is of this article has
greater success with cuttings of
any kind in June and July than at
any other time. Plant weeping
mulberries, salt cedars, purple and
white altheus and coral berries as
a screen for back fences and out-
buildings. “There is no excellence
without great labor.” A garden
means year-round work, joy and
health. The beautiful and appro-
priate landscaping of John Tarle-
ton’s campus should be an inspira-
tion to Stephenville residents. Mr.
Brundrett is so happy to make sug-
gestions. ‘ .
In the three well known nurser-
ies in Erath county our town has
the opportunity to improve enjoyed
by few towns in the State.
“Have you ever been to Texas in
the spring?” is the name of a song
being sung at the Democratic con-
vention in Houston this week. This
song was written by a Fort Worth
woman. Can you think of a more
delectable title for a song?—-Mrs.
Pearl Cage.
Mrs. C .G. Sedgwich, of Fort
Worth, is visiting in the homes of
Mrs. E. B. Jones and Mrs. Chas.
Long.
Mr. and Mrs. Claud Gibson, of
Carlton, were in Stephenville this
week where Mr. Gibson was doing
jury service. Both are well re-
membered here, especially Mrs.
Gibson, who at one time was a
clerk in the office of the county
clerk, working at this place during
the administration of Joe Pate.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Acock, of
Abilene, were here a short while
this week on their way to Houston
and Galveston where they will
spend their vacation. Since going
to Abilene Mr. Acock has become
connected with the chemical re-
search department of the Abilene
Cotton Oil Mill and has a position
that is not only remunerative but
in line with his chosen profession.
While here they were guests of Mr.
and Mrs. Prentice Jones.
RANDOLPH CLARK IMPROV-
ING AFTER HIS OPERATION
Rev. Randolph Clark is greatly
improved at the Stephenville Hos-
pital where he submitted to a minor
surgical operation last week. At
his advanced age it was at first
thought his condition would become
serious but attending physicians
say he will be entirely recovered
within a short time.

AUTO WRECK
IS FATAL TO
DUBLIN GI
Miss Christiana Moore, 16-year-
old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis
Moore, Dublin, was killed instantly;
Miss Theresa Robbins, 14, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Robbins,
Dublin, has a fractured skull, and
four other members of an auto
party were more or less injured
Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock when
a car they were driving turned over
two miles west of Stephenville. Thfe
entire party was made up of Dubnn
young people and they were out for
an afternoon drive on their way to
Stephenville. The car was a Chrys-
ler 80.
An ambulance from the Hardin
Undertaking company was rushed
to the scene and brought the injur-
ed to the Stephenville Hospital
where they were given emergency
treatment. Miss Moore was found
to be dead from a broken neck and
other injuries about her body. Mias
Robbins was unconscious and an
x-ray examination showed two
fractures in her skull. Azel Martin
had his nose smashed, but was able
to return to his home in Dublin-
Other members of the party were
Christine Reed, C. H. Sitton, and
Robert Dale Burnett.
The tragedy was one of the most
unfortunate ever to occur here. All
the young people were members
of prominent families in Dublin,
where they were reared.
Details leading up to the fatal ac-
cident are that the young people
had persuaded Mrs. Rouss Baxter,
sister to a member of the party, to
let them have her car for the after-
noon. As they were nearing Ste-
phenville, near the farm home of
W. A. Richardson a new culvert re-
cently installed left that portion of
the highway with a raised level.
When the driver applied the brakes
it is presumed they stuck with the
result he lost control and the fatal
accident followed.
