A grass fire got a start Monday '
about 5:30 p.m. and for a time the
outlook was ugly—anyway it was

it reached West Louisiana Street, c.

When the Examiner went to press
last Thursday, Judge Sid Williams
phoned us that he had decided that
B. F. Venable died of natural causes.
Venable had been found dead in his
home on Elm Street.. He had been
janitor of the , S.bdflj Ward School
for several years. V^hable had lived
in Collin Courity 25 years or more.
A feature that caused Judge Wil-
liams to make a closer investigation
was that Venable lived.,alone and
had expressed fear'df dying alone,
and had tried .to get someone to. live
in the home with hifn. ;
City police, the: sheriff’s depart-
ment and Criminal District Attorney
Paul Worden investigated, the death
thoroughly. The autopsy held by
Judge Williams failed to show any
wounds; and money and, keys were
found in Mr. Venable's .pockets . and
disturbed. Mr. Worden told art Ex-
aminer man that no signs of heart
failure were present.
Funeral services for' Mr. Venable,
who was born March 21, 1882, were
conducted at 2 o’clock Thursday af-
ternoon at Moore Chapel near Bon-’
ham with burial following there.
Massie Funeral Home had charge
of arrangements.
Mr. Venable is survived by his
wife, Wichita Falls; four daughters,
Mrs. J. S. Flynn of Missouri; Miss
Hazel Venable of Dallas; Miss Agnes
Venable of Wichita Falls, and Mrs.
John J. Moreli of Ohio; one son, O.
M. Venable, Seagoville; three broth-
ers, and one sister.

Mrs. R. L. Standley has been a
patient in City-County Hospital,
where she underwent an operation.
Stockton, Cali£, July 26.—An air-
plane pilot terrorized this city for
an hour with repeated buzzing—
then power dived to his death in
the graveyard where his wife was
buried four months ago. The pilot
was Russell Gilman Higby, Jr., 23,
son of a well-to-do produce mer-
chant, and was Hying his father's
monoplane. His screeching dives
over the, city often leveled off at
tree top height.
Sheriff’s deputies waited at the
airport to arrest him. With them
were Mr. and Mrs. Russell Higby,
who told officers their son had been
‘very despondent’ since his wife,
Chief of Police Marshall Padgitt
hands the Examiner the following
information. He says that there are
not sufficient policemen on the Mc-
Kinney force to detail men to duty
each evening during the week * at
Quarterback Field and gave an in-
cident at the field Saturday night
when a Dallas player in a fit of an-
ger threw a bat over the wire fence
around the diamond, striking a lit-
tle girl, and there were no police on
hand to quiet the disturbance.
“The patrolmen go by the field
about twice each evening,” Chief
Padgitt says, “but if they parked
out there and remained throughout BeV^rl died April j in childbirth:
the.evening, then the homes and Higby made two power .dives on
business firms throughout the city a ce^/tery at the . city limits. Wit-

nothing in the house was unduly ** ,th? J0^11 games that s true
,. . Chief Padgitt says. But on these
occasions which are only a few
times each season and are not every
evening affairs, these police volun-
teer their services free.
“Even had there been police
there when the trouble started, they
couldn’t have stopped the player
from throwing the bat or prevented
the child from being hit. The inci-
dent would have occurred before
the police could have stopped it,
although they could have controlled
the disturbance which followed.
This is a most regrettable incident,
but I hope the public realizes that
our position is for the good of the
general public.”
How about deputizing half a doz-
en volunteers for these occasions,
who would give their services free?
Or would they? The Examiner
wouldn’t know. Just asking.

Neglect is the main reason why
home acidents head the “list of acci-
dent fatalities.
Of the 100,000 lives lost and 10,-
500,000 injured each year, home ac-
cidents head the list with 33,500 fa-
talities.
Despite repeated warnings, the
economic loss from accidents
amounts to five billion dollars year-
iy-
What causes them? Mainly neg-
lect to keep steps clear, walks re-
paired and smooth, stovepipes clean-
ed, electric appliances and wires re-
paired, floor coverings and floors
in good shape, and proper lighting
and light colored paints for dark
stairways and cellars'.
