W. E. Elbert and family of Kirks-
ville, Missouri, will move to Here-
ford in a few weeks to make the
Panhandle their home. They have
bought a fine quarter section of land
a few miles out and will engage in
farming and stock raising.
Max Roberts is reported to have
done so well under the skillful care j
of Dr. W. A. Price that he is rapid-'
ly recovering from his recent in-
juries, and the services of a physi-
cian are no longer needed. Mr.
Roberts had the misfortune to get
his leg broken, several ribs smashed
in, two or three bad cuts on the
head and otherwise bruised up by his
well drilling machine which he had
in operation near Hurley, Texas.
Mrs. Emmett Cardwell returned
Monday on the 10 o'clock train from
Missouri where she had spent two
months on a visit to homefolks and
long time friends. Mr. Cardwell
has showed a decided change for the
better in his feelings since the return
of Mrs. Cardwell.
Boys Paroled.
"The quality of mercy is not
strained. It droppeth, as a gentle
rain from heaven upon the place be-
neath, it is twief blessed* it tflesseth
him that fives, and hlta that takes."
One of the last acts of Judge D.
B. Hill in this term of court at Here-
ford was to extend the privileges of
the Texas pafole law to two young
men who had been convicted of
felony and sentenced to two years in
penitentiary. The young men were
Floyd EiUston and Charlie Hubbert.
In the parole law the state, through
the discretion of the judge, tempers
justice with mercy. These two
cases are the first to come up for ac-
tion under the law in Judge Hill's
jurisdiction. When the boys were
called in for a final hearing on their
application for parole, a large num-
ber of friends were assembled in the
district court room. The two sat
just inside the rail, Floyd with his
father and brother, and Charlie with
his brother. When the judge took
his seat, all were quiet waiting to
hear what he would say. He read
the charge and by turns asked the
boys to stand up to receive their
sentences. The court said that un-
der the law and the verdict of the
jury, he must pass sentence in due
form. This being done, he then
discussed at some length the new
parole law, going somewhat into de-
tails. He said that the people of
the state by its legislature had seen
fit to pass such a law and it was his
duty to give effect to this law as well
as all others. Then after announc-
ing that he bad granted their appli-
cation for parole, Judge Hill gave
them a fatherly talk, filled with good
advice which every young man, even
the older men, would do well to fol-
low. "I place all the responsibility
of my act uppn your good behavior
and it is left to you to justify me in
granting the paroles," he said. "If
I make a mistake in this, I will be
sorry and your friends aad families
will be grieved." "You wilt be free
to go wherever you please and if I
should meet you, I want to be able
to take you by the hand and say
that I am proud of this day's work,"
he added.
The Judge further stated that in
granting this application for parole,
be did not, in any way, set apreced
ent in future cases, t ut that each
and every case would be considered
upon its own merits.
At the close of his remarks the at-
torneys for the defense and the state
prepared the parole bonds, which
were readily signed, and at 4:30
o'clock the boys walked out with
their freedom.
