Morris Shephard Putney, Austin
College student for two years, and
a trash star, waa killed last night la

received this morning by his wife,
formerly Miss Marian Small Weems.
He further details were received.

Lubbock Hard Fighter,
Wichita Falls’ victory won not an
easy one. It developed when the
voting started that Lubbock, not
Ban Antonle, was the chief competi-
tor. the Ptolna city getting 1.603
votes, to only 964 for Ban Antonio.
Wichita Falls, with 2,093 votes,
didn’t lack a great deal of a ma-
jority, on the flrat ballot, and was
confident of’ winning easily on the
second, when the Lubbock delegates
announced their withdrawal to fa-
ver of Wichita Falla
Malt a dozen bands, and a con-
vention hall packed with delegates
and visitors, made the closing ses-
sion of ths convention n lively one.
The rival bands tried to drown each
other out, and when three or four
of them were going at once, the ef-
foot was tremendous.
Wichita Falls was put in nomi-
nation by J. A. Kemp, seconded by
Mayor Shepherd and by J. B.
Thompson of Breckenridge. The
Wichita Falls speakers, particular-
ly Mayor Shepherd, vigorously
“poured it on" the claims of Baa
Antenio and Lubbock. Then the roll
call was started, by towns, and it
developed early la the voting that
Wichita Falls would lead in the
flrat ballet, in spite of the fact that
Wellington, Memphis and Waco, on
whose votes Wichita Falls bad
counted, supported one or the other
of her rivals on the tint ballot
Plans were made at Amarillo
Wednesday night for the Wichita
Falls delegation to parade on He
arrival here, but the rain prevented
this final appearance of the vic-
torious ones.
Practically every member of the
delegation returned with the con-
viction that Wichita Falls must, be-
fore next June, erect a municipal
auditorium big enough for the Weet
Texas convention and for other
large mootings which this city has
been prevented from seeking by
reason of having no meeting place.
The Wichitans were at all times
conspicuous to Amarillo. The
“kitchen orehestra" vied with the
real band on every occasion. Mayor
Shepherd was constantly to demand
aa a singer, aad the “bull fight’
furnished a happy comic note.
1 w. D. Cline, vice president of the
Weet Texas Chamber of Commerce,
who was to have placed Wichita
Falls to nomination, had to leave
Wednesday for Louisiana on per-
sonal business.
SAN ANTONIO, June 24. on— Stops
