EASTLAND MAN ASKS
, REWARD FROM ”MA”
Eastland, Dec. 4.—The first claim,
so far as is known, that has been
made upon Governor Ferguson’s re-
cent offer of a reward of $500 for con-
viction of any liquor law violator
worth more than $5,000 was announc-
ed here Friday when W. J. Barnes,
County Attorney of Eastland county,
made public the following letter,
which, according to his statement, he
has addressed to Her Excellency:
“Eastland, Texas, Dec. 4, 1925.—
Governor Mirriam Ferguson, Austin,
Texas, Your Excellency: In a state-
menet issued from your office a few
days ago and published throughout
the State, you, as Governor, renewed
a previous offer of $500 for any con-
viction for violation of the liquor
laws where the defendant was worth
as much as $5,000. .Allow me, then as
County Attorney of Eastland county,
to advise you that I have secured con-
victions in three cases, namely, the
State of Texas vs. Harry Atwood, No.
5428, in the Ninety-first District court
of Eastland county, with a penalty of
three years; the State of Texas vs.
Cleve Barnes, No. 5430, in the Dis
trict Court of Eastland county, with
a penalty of two years, and the State
of Texas vs. Frank Ames in the Nine-
ty-first District court of Eastland
county, with a penalty of three years.
Motion for rehearing was over-ruled
by the Court of Criminal Appeals in
ail of these cases Wednesday, Dec. 2,
1925. In the Cleve Barnes and Harry
Atwood cases the undisputed evidence
was to the effect that the whisky and
other liquor seized, for the possession
of which these defendants were con-
victed, was worth between $17,000
and $18,000. I am therefore prepared
to submit proof that each of these
defendants was, at the time of convic-
tion worth more than $5,000, and I re-
spectfully ask that this claim for a
total of $1,500 he given your conjjd-
eration. Respectfully yours (signed).
W. J. Barnes, County Attorney of
Eastland County.”
WHY SHY AT 13?
Why look askance at the figure
“thirteen?” There was originally
thirteen colonies. That fact didn’t
hoodoo us. There are thirteen stripes
in our flag, and it’s a mighty good
flag at that. Our Declaration of In-
dependence was signed by thirteen pa-
triots. In our national coat of arms
the eagle holds an olive branch of
thirteen leaves in his right talon and
in his left talon a sheaf of thirteen
arrows. In the field above the eagle's
head there are thirteen stars. Our
National Motto is “E Pluribus Unum”
and contains thirteen letters. If you
have a silver dollar, tell this to your
neighbor—and also how you got it.—

CHILD TOLD SANTA DEAD,
TELEPHONES FOR FACTS
Henryetta, Okla., Dec. 6s—The
most unique Christmas call came this
week to the Buchanan Undertaking
Company. It was a child’s voice, and
it called to ascertain as to the death
of Santa Clatfs. Its voice indicated*a
boy. He told the undertaker that his
mother said Santa Claus was dead,
and that he would not come this year.
Robert Reid assured the little fellow
after first obtaining his name, that
Santa Claus was ill, but if he was
a good little fellow, Santa would
probably come to see him. An inves-
tigation followed the telephone mes-
sage. It was found the family is in
destitute circumstances, the father
being out of work, and the mother
had told the boy Santa was. dead so
as not to disappoint him Christmas
morning, she said.
Plans are under way that this fam-
ily and especially the little boy, will
have a real Christmas, with a little
brother and sister.
