A Narrow Escape
A letter reaching her family
Monday from Mrs. C. B.Welhau-
sen, told of a very narrow escape
her tourist train encountered in
Royal George near Pueblo,
when one of the largest land
slides ever recorded descended
on the train from the mountains
above, striking the engine,
knocking it from track and de-
railing several coaches.
They were tied up 15 hours
and to make matters worse a
severe thunder and rain storm
came up. Many of the passen-
gers were almost panic stricken.
The train was a special of 13
pullmans. Cold and frost had
been encountered.

Commercial Club
NATURAL GAS IN SIGHT
At the Commercial Club
Thursday night, the Committee
that had been appointed to
solicit subscribers for gas, re-
ported over 100 customers to
that time. This is considered a
good showing and, Shiner, no
doubt will have natural gas.
The club passed a resolution
protesting against a mixed train
of the present Lockhart—Yoa-
kum passenger.
Distinguished Student
Herman Liebhafsky left this
week for Berkley, California,
where he enters the University
of California as assistant in
chemistry and also to take a
special course for the honorary
degree Ph D. for sciences. After
graduating at A. & M, College
with an enviable record, Herman
served the past year as assistant
in Chemistry and made his M.
S. Degree from the University
o^ Nebraska His rank and
grades were such that he won
the Scholarship and recommen-
dations of ability to higher work
in the University of California.
Herman’s intellectual attain-
ments are so exceptional that
the entire community feels a
just pride in claiming him as a
Shiner product. The remarkable
feature about his scholarship is
that he has worked his way
through. He enters California
University with the record of
distinguished student from his
home state and also from the
University of Nebraska. May
success continue to crown his
efforts.
“THEY DON’T ANSWER”
Sometimes you may call a telephone Number and do
not get an answer, aitnough you are positive that the
called person is at home.
In such a case the called person may have been in
the kitchen, down in the basement, or out in the yard, too
far away for the bell to be heard,—too busy to answer
promptly.
In most cases, business telephones are answered
promptly, but the length of time of answers from resi-
dence telephones varies greatly.
Answering the telephone promptly helps to improve
everyone’s telephone service.

When making our usual news
gathering rounds Tuesday, we
chanced towisit Dr. H. Arthur
Zappe’s suite of rooms above the
Corner Drug Store. We could
not express our admiration, so
nifty and beautiful were the ar-
rangements. The interior decora-
tions, showing the tasty craft-
manship of his mother, were in
perfect harmony with the superb
mahogany finish of all fixtures
and equipment. Dr. Zappe recei-
ved . patients yesterday and
whether you need dental sur-
gery or not, you are invited to
call at any time and inspect the
up-to-date conveniences awaiting
your approval. You will find a
cordial greeting awaiting you.

The wedding march from Lohen-

provised altar of ferns and white
I festoonings, with a cluster of
brides roses overhead. Across
the small altar was a shower of
j greenery intertwined with Rose
, of Montana, whose shadings
t harmonized with the becoming

tume. The brother of the bride
Mr. Olan Mittanck served as

tapers lent a soft glow ’ to the
beautifully appointed table,
whose central adornment was a
lovely wedding cake, tipped with
white roses and a tracery of lace
fern. The wedding was a very
quiet affair but sweet in its
simplicity.
The guest list was confined to
near relatives. The bride’s uncle

ladies, being the daughter of
one of Shiner’s first families.
