Shooting form the Hip
"These days when a man makes a grab for his hip, you
don't know whether he is going to treat or take a shot at you."
—Si Chestnut.
Probably in either case you would f?et tho worst of it.
But suppose it happens to be a real hold-up man. He doesn't
shoot from the hip. He sticks his gun right in your face and
orders: "Hands up." And up they fro and you are cleaned
out, unless you keep your money on deposit and pay by check.
The hold-up man doesn't care for your check book.

An unidentified man was instantly
killed, his body severed in twain and
terribly mutilated, last Sunday morn-
ing by the eastbound passenger train
No. 36.
The accident happened' about mid-
way of the Crest passing track, about
one mile northwest of the passenger
station. It was 9:10 o'clock, and the
train due in here at 9:12 was coming
in at a lively rate of speed, when En-
gineer W. B. Maxwell and Fireman
Fred Johnson were horrified to see a
man on the track only a short dis-
tance ahead. The whistle screamed
and the brakes clamped the wheels,
but the momentum was too great and
the entire train passed over the man's
body before a stop could be made.
The body was cleanly severed just
above the hips, the torso and lower
linibs being left several feet apart,
while the entrails and other organs
were scatteredi all around.
When the train was finally brought
to a stop Conductor Sid Lewie and
others of the crew went back and
viewed tho remains. As nothing
could be done by them the train came
on to town and the conductor report-
ed the accident to Station Agent T. E.
Giles, and suggested that the coroner
be notified at once.
The engineer and fireman both told
Mr. Giles that when the whistle was
sounded the man raised slightly from
his reclining position, but apparent-
ly made no effort to arise or get out
of the way.
The coroner's verdict was that the
man's death was accidental and una-
voidable by the train crew.
Testimony at the inquest developed
that the man had been on the streets
of Saint Jo_ Saturday and conversed
with differe'nt persons, but did not
give his name and made no statement
as to his ident'ty other than that he
had been reared and spent most of his
life in and near Paris, Texas, men-
tioning Blossom, Deport and Roxton
as towns with which he was familiar.
He also said that recently he had
been at Memphis, Tenn., help'ng in
the flood control by keeping bridges
clear of driftwood. He was at Hund-
ley's garage about 6 o'clock Sunday
morning and said he had slept in a
boxcar Saturday night.
Those who saw and talked with him
say that he was apparently about 25
or 30 years of age, about 5 feet 8 or
9 inches tall, weighed about 150
pounds, was slightly st.oop-shouldder-
ed, had rather dark hair and was
shabbily dressed. It was rumored
that he told one man his name was
Long, but the rumor could not be
confirmed.
Two old shoestrings were found on
the ground near where he was struck,
and one shoe which was on his foot
had a new string in it, and the other
new string was lying on the ground
nearby, while the other shoe found
some feet away had no string in it.
This gives rise to the opinion ex-
pressed by some that he had sat down
on the track to put tho new strings in
his shoes and did not see the train
until it was too late to escape.
C. H. Dunbar brought" the remains
to town in the ambulance and pre-
pared them for burial and kept them
ali the afternoon for any who chose
to view and try to identify.
Justice of the Peacc R. F. Stvmpson
held an inquest beginning at 1 p. m.,
and was assisted by County Judge
Dearmore.
At night, after all efforts at iden-
tification had failed, he was buried
w'th annropriate ceremonies conduct-
ed by Elder Jno. T. Lauderdale and
Rev. Ben Taylor of Dallas, who had
come up to assist in the funeral of
Dr. J. E. Smith.
The interment was in the Potter's
field section of Mountain Park Ceme-
tery, conducted by C. II. Dunbar, the
expense being borne by the county.

Saint Jo Cafe Moved.
Dr. J. E. Smith of Saint Jo, than
whom no man in Montague county
was more highly respected or uni-
versally loved, met a tragic death as
the result of an automobile accident
Thursday afternoon of last week,
May 5.
He died in the Qainenville santa-
rium at 9 o'clock Thursday night, an
hour and a half after reaching there.
The accident happened about 3
o'clock Thursday afternoon at the
iron bridge on the Illinois Bend road,
about seven miles northeast of Saint
Jo. Dr. Smith was returning to town
after having made a professional call.
In coming down the hill approaching
the bridge his steering wheel sudden-
ly became locked, causing him to lose
control of the car, which missed the
bridge and plunged headlong over the
bank of the stream to the bed of the
croe': some twenty feet below. Dr.
Smith was caught and p;nned beneath
the car. He lor.t consciousness for a
time, and it is not known just how
long he remained under the car. After
regaining consciournee" he succeeded
in liberating himself from under the
ear but could not get up the bank,
he'ng in a semi-conscious condition,
as well as too weak from the shock
and the intense pain. About 4:30
Mr. and Mrs. Slaton from near Illinois
Bend, while passing over the bridge
saw the car in the creek and stopped
to investigate, when they found him.
They immediately summoned ass'st-
ance and took him up and gave him
all the relief possible under the cir-
cumstances. •
When tho news reached Sa'nt To
C. II. Dunbar left at once for the
scene, followed shortly by Homer Don-
nell in the ambulance. Dr. C. Moore
also rushed out at once and gave all
the relief and aid possible to the suf-
fering man.
He was put in the ambulance and
taken to Gainesville, reaching there
about 7:30, where an X-ray examina-
tion revealed that the most serious in-
jury was the crushing of the right
side and lung. Under the influence
of opiates administered to relieve his
intense suffering, • the wounded man
went to sleep soon after starting for
Gainesville, and never regained con-
sciousness, dying in the sanitarium
about 9 p. m.
The body was embalmed and
brpught back to Saint Jo by C. H.
Dunbar Friday morning.
An account of the funeral, which
took place Sunday afternoon, will be
found elsewhere in this issue.
Dr. Smith said he had trouble with
his steering wheel, and had stopped St
a filling station a few minutes before'
the accident to have it creased, and
thaught it was ail right again until
it locked on him as he was going down
the hill.
When he was finally discovered and
friends came to his relief, ha asked
them to ojien his medicine case and
get some sedative tablets to relieve
,his intense pain, which was quickly
done:
His wife and daughters reached him
before he lapsed into unconsciousness
When the news was Hashed in to
Saint Jo hundreds of people rushed to
the scene, through sympathy and a
desire to render some assistance if
possible.
Scores of people remained in wait-
ing Thursday night to receive some
word from the sanitarium as to his
condition, until the sorrowful .news
came that he. was dead.
He was one of the most highly re-
spected men both professionally and
personally, in Montague or Cook
counties. The Gainesville Register
said of him:
"Dr. Smith was one of the best
known medical men in Montague
county, commanding the respect of
all who came in contact with him.
The news of his death has saddened
the community in which he lived, as
well as being lamented by-scores of
persons in Gainesville and elsewhere
who respected him for h's outstanding
character and his skill as a physi-
cian."

BOX IT A BUDGET.
The funeral of Dr. James Elmore
Smith who tied Thursday night of lasd
week as the result of an accident
related edsewhei-e in this issue, was
held in the Church of Christ in Saint
Jo, Sunday afternoon, May 8, a$ 3
o'clock, the service being; conducted by
Elder Jno. T. Lauderdale assisted by
R«y, Bin M. Taylor of Dallas, who
led the song service. Arrangements
were handled by C. H. Dunbar, funer-
al director.
Pall bearers were: Joe Bowers, S.
H. Cam]), Arch Holland, Monroe Mil-
likin, S. J. Pedlgo nnd C. O. Wilker-
son.
Following services at the church
interment was made in Mountain
Park Cemetery, under Masonic aus-
pices.
It was pronounced by practically all
cl'd settlers as the largest funeral as-
sembly ever seen in Saint Jo. The
church, which it is said will hold at
least 500 people, was filled to over-
flowing, all available space being oc-
cupied. And there were at least twice
as many outside trying to listen and
see as there were in the 'building.
Many estimated the crowd at from
1K00 to 2000. The floral offering was
r.upeib and ..artistic, a silent but elo-
quent memento of the deep and abiding
love of the people among whom de-
ceased had cast his lot a few years
ago.
Elder Jno. T. Lauderdale, a bosom
friend of the deceased and his family,
as a basis for-his remarks read from
the gospel of Saint Luke, himself a
physician, the passage telling of the
raising if the ruler's daughter. His
talk was timely and touching, speak-
ing eloquently of the profound love
he had lavished upon his friend. He
said Dr. Smith had literally laid down
his life for the people of Saint Jo
in that he always responded promptly
to their call for his services, no mat-
ter what the conditons of the tempera-
ture or weather. "Greater love hath
no man than this, that he lay down his
life for his friends." At times the
deep emotion of the speaker was ap-
parent, and he could scarcely restrain
his tears. The audience was respon-
sive too, and many a dainty hand-
kerchief, as well as rough and work-
worn hands, were seen silently seek-
ing the moistened eye.
Dr. Smith was born in Overton
county, Tenn., Nov. 9, 1883. He taught
school in his early manhood nnd grad-
uated in medicine from the University
of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., in
1908.
He was married in 1906 to Miss
Minta Fleming, also of Tennesse, and
two daughters, Louise and Christine,
were the result of the union.
He first came to Saint Jo in 1919,
and has been here ever since save 18
month spent in Tipton, Okla., and
Denton, Texas, returning to Saint Jo
in July, 1926.
He was the seventh son of a fam-
ily of 12 children, seven of whom, one
sister and six brothers, survive him.
Two of his brothers, R. F. and H. A.
Smith, came from Tennessee to at-
tend the funeral, returning Wednes-
day of this week.
He is survived also by his wife, two
daughters, Louise and Christine, and
a nephew, 6 years_fild, who had been
adopted into the fanv'ly.
He had been since early manhood
a consistent and loyal member of the
Christian church, and also of the Ma-
sonic fraternity.
Relatives of the family and acquain-
tances from all over Montague and
Cooke counties were here to attend
the funeral.

Dear Editor:
As I promised I will write a state-
ment concerning my new work, which
you may publish if you see fit.
After two years and one month I
resigned as pastor of the First Bap-
tist church to become Missionary of
Cooke County. My prayers are con-
stantly for the people of Saint Jo in
all their interests. My only regret
in leaving is that there wpre not more
people won to Christ during my min-
istry there. It is with the conviction
from God that I can be of more ser-
vice to our Master that I joyfully erv-
tcr upon my new work.
May the blessings of the Triune God
rest upon the church, and upon every
person in Saint Jo, both saved and un-
saved.
Al any time I can he of service to
those in or out of the city I shall be
happy to do my best.
After June 1 my address will be
Gainesville Texas.
