Speak on Dam Possibility
Paul Gregory, of the engineering
Arm of Reeve* and Gregory, ad-
dressed the City Council Monday
on tha possibility of constructing *
dam approximately two miles north
of the city between the Huckabay
aad Lingleville highways.
Gregory, who had made prelimi-
nary studies of the area, popula-
tion and water conditions before
making hip report, advised that
the dam would be feasible arid that
withfh 20 years the city would need
a source of water other than the
wells now being pumped.
Basing his calculations on a pro-
jected maximum population of
18,000 people at the end of the 20-

opiuloa that a dam at the loca-

Provide ample water for the city.
He stated that the proposed lake,
once being Ailed, would provide the
city with ’ water for throe years
and possibly longer without water
being added to the lake.

MURDER TRIAL
TOSTARTSOON
AT PALO PINTO
District Attorney Sam Cleveland
announced Tuesday that the trial
of Sgt. Marvin Rayson, indicted
last Mon. for the murder of Cpl.
Benjamin J. Layton near Mineral
Wells last month would begin next
Monday in 29th District Court in
Palo Pinto.
Rayson purportedly confessed to
the crime last month to Cleveland,
Palo Pinto County Sheriff Fred
Foreman, Deputy Buddy Baker and
Mineral Wells Police Chief Frank
Grandbury.
In the alleged confession Rayson
stated that he was driving south
from Mineral Wells Jan. 14 when
he developed car trouble and sub-
sequently caught a ride back to*
that city with I .ay ton. He said
they stopped about seven miles
south of town where the crime took
place. Rayson was apprehended the
following weekend at Bartlett.
Other indictments returned dur-
ing the week by the Palo Pinto
County Grand Jury include one
for assault to murder returned
against J. L. Sawyer of near Gor-
don. The indictment was returned
after consideration of an alterca-
tion in Mingus last month in which
Robert Pierce, also of near Gordon,
received a knife injury and was
subsequently carried to a Ranger
hospital in serious condition. Pierce
made an uneventful recovery from
the wound.
Three indictments for swindle
of over $60; one indictment each
for forgery, passing a forged in-
strument and second offense of
drunk driving; and two indictments
or burglary were returned by the
Grand Jury.

Saturday, February 21, .that a sub-
stantial number of recent cattle
deaths in Texas has been caused
by hyperkoratosis, brought on by a
toxic substance in cottonaeed pel-
lets fed the animals. Independent
studies made by our consultants
have determined that this matrial
was found in some of the cotton-
seed pellets made by Traders Oil
Mill Company and manufactured
within a now known definite period
of time.
“We want our customers to bo
assured that we will do everything
we ran to keep thorn from being
financially hurt. We are asking all
affected ranchers who have fad
our pellets to give us full informa-
tion on the cattle which they have
loot, including animals which were
sold at loss than the market value
because of the effects of this di-
sease. We have already started to
set up machinery to pay claims
which are fair and reasonable and
arc supported by the facts.
“We do want to emphasise that
there ia a serious question concern-

situation did not result from n
mistake by our company, however,
this is a problem between ua and
