although I have lived in this won-
derful state many years, I knew very
little, if anything, about the Western
section of the state.
"I am today submitting this splen-

that as much of said material be in-
cluded in the special Texas edition

How It Happened
Charles Rawson was threading his
way between two parked automobiles
yesterday when a mouse ran up the
leg of O. W. machone.
Gumz let go of the wheel to Gumz,
who was dricing by in his clutch at
the mouse and his car rammed into
the rear parked car, jamming them
together and pinning Rawson be-
tween them.—Fond Du Lac item in
the Columbus Dispatch.
One of the biggest social and fra-
ternal events held in Alpine recently
was the Eastern Star party at the
Masonic Temple Tuesday evening
when the annual inspection trip of
the assistant district deputy grand
matron, Mrs. C. A. Brown of Alpine,
was made, according to members of
that order.
Plans for the meeting, under the
direction of the worthy matron, Mrs.
N. S. Murphy, assisted by her subor-
dinate officers, had been under way
for the big event for several weeks
with the result that the exemplifica-
tion of the degree work, a main fea-
ture of the evening, was given in a
most effective and near-perfect man-
ner. The two candidates taking the
degrees were from Marathon.
Invitations had been extended to
members of Eastern Star chapters at
Fort Davis, Fort Stockton, Sanderson
and Marfa to attend the meeting,
with the result that some 25 mem-
bers of these chapters were visitors
on the occasion, it was stated. Eigh-
ty-five attended the meeting, includ-
ing members of six different grand
jurisdictions, according to Mrs. Leo
Howell, secretary. R. E. Petross of
Marfa, district deputy grand master
of the Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M.,
was one of the distinguished guests
of the evening as were also several
past worthy matrons of the Eastern
Star order.
Following the degree work a social
hour was enjoyed and at the close of
the meeting refreshments, consisting
of chicken salad and crackers, potato
chips, cake and coffee, were served.
John Young & Co. vs. Mrs. Ulia C.
Peters, et al, suit for debt.
Mariposa Mining Co. vs. E. A.
Walron, trespass and damages.
