This week brings to a close the
first bracket of the City League
with the M. P.s leading by one
game.. With or without a split-
season, this is still any one’s “hoss
race.” However, the big race
seems to be between the Lions
and Legion for the cellar positions.
So far both teams have succeeded
in doing everything but win a
game.

After this week the candi-
dates’ announcement column
will be much shorter—only one
name to an office, except where
it is necessary to have the run-
off in August.
At this time the publisher
wishes to thank each of the
candidates for their patronage
during the campaign. Each
candidate has been on the best
of terms with the publishers
and regardless of who may re-
ceive the nomination the Ga-
zette hopes to continue this
friendship with each. One of
the things for which we are
thankful is that with one ex-
ception each candidate has had
all of their printing done at
this office and this in spite of
the fact that numerous solici-
tors from other counties have
made several efforts to get this
work by quoting extremely
low prices. We thank each of
you.

Newcastle, July 16.—More than
3,000 people joined cowboys, In-
dian fighters, trail drivers, and
buffalo hunters Saturday in the
annual Kutch-Manning reunion
here. Pioneer residents of this
and adjoining counties came to
talk over stirring incidents of
frontier days in this section.
At a business session of the
Kutch-Manning pioneer associa-
tion, II. C. Williams was re-elect-
ed president; Dink Allen was
elected vice president, and George
Whitely, secretary.
Among the interesting visitors
at the re-union was Millie Dur-
gan of Mountain View, who has
lived about 68 years among the
piowa Indians, not knowing until
two years ago that she was the
daughter of a Young County
rancher. Millie Durgan, wlio is
now Mrs. Goombi, was captured
by the Indians'during a raid near|
the present site of Newcastle on
Oct. 13, 1864. Eleven persons
were killed and six others captur-
ed in the same raid. Five of the
captives were later released, and
Millie Durgan was adopted by a
chief, Aperian Crow and
his wife. She was given the name
of Sain-Toh-oodie and completely
lost her identity as a white child.
She was reared as an Indian and
married a Kiowa chief. She be-
came so thoroughly accustomed
to their ways that she did not
wish to return to he r people or
change her manner of living when
her identity was established two
years ago.
With Millie Durgan were her
son-in-law, George Hunt, Mrs.
Hunt and their four daughters.
Mr. Hunt interpreted a short
speech in which Millie Durgan ex-
pressed her appreciation for be-
ing able to return to Newcastle
again. They sang a group of In-
dian songs and gave a short ^pro-
gram.
Several Thousand Dollars Fire
Loss at Bridgeport.
Bridgeport, July 17.—A spec-
tacular early morning fire de-
stroyed a filling station and ga-
rage and for a time endangered
the Bridgeport Power and Light
Company plant here today. Loss
estimated at several thousand
dollars was partly covered by in-
surance.
The blade was discovered about
1:30 a. m. shortly after it origi-
nated in the filling station and ga-
rage of Thomas Byrnes. Chemical
streams of the fire department!
were unable to check the flames
after they had ignited petroleum
supplies in the station.
The power and light company
buildings adjoining the garage
were threatened as the fire gained
headway but were saved by water
played on them by firemen.
The three buildings which com-
prised the staton and garage were
leveled. They were owned by P.
A. Boaz.
Origin of the blaze had not been
determined today.—Fort Worth

To the Democrats of Jack County
Greeting :
Please remember that next Sat-
urday, July 23rd, is not only pri-
mary election day but it is also
the day for you to hold your pre-
cinct conventions.
Each precinct chairman should
arrange for the precinct conven-
tion at some convenient time and
place. (2:00 p. m. suggested).
Chairmen who will be otherwise
engaged should arrange with oth-
ers to hold the convention, how-
ever the Democrats may meet and
complete their own organization
and hold their convention.
Delegates should be selected to'
the County Convention which will
be held in Jacksboro the follow-
ing Saturday, July 30.
Any Democrat legally entitled
to participate in the primary is
also entitled to participate in the
convention.
Remember that any one that
was subject to a poll tax for 1931
but did not pay such poll tax be-
fore the first day of February,,
1932, is not entitled to participate
in either the primary or the con-
vention.
This is a provision of the law
and the election judges should see-
that it is not violated.
I feel perfectly sure that there!
is not one candidate on the Demo-
cratic ticket in Jack County that
would ask for or desire counted
one illegal vote for themselves
and we feel sure that no one will
want to cast an illegal vote.
There being so many candidates
this year, that those chosen to
hold the elections should be care-
ful to secure judges and clerks
that are not kin to any of the can-
didates.. Secure your help from
those as disinterested as possible.
I do not mean by this that I think
that ony one would want to do
anything dishonest in this, but
some folks are naturally suspi-
cious and everything possible
should be done to allay suspicion.
One hour after the opening of
the polls the election officials may
begin counting the votes. We
would be glad for them to keep
up as well as possible as most ev-
ery one is interested in the
prompt report of the results.
I think that there is as fine a
feeling between the many candi-
dates this year as I ever knew or
as could well be. All of them can
not be elected and the srting of de-
feat will be somewhat bitter.. I
hope that nothing may be done to
increase its bitterness or give oc-
casion for criticism or dissatisfac-
tion.
May everything be done to pro-
mote and continue the present
good feeling and may the “best
man win.” Fraternally,
J. ,W. Gaskin,
Chm. Dem. Ex. Com.
