T-Sgt. Benjamin F. . Beason of
the Army Air Corps was murder*-
ed in cold blood along with 139
of his brother servicemen by the
Japanese.
TlxaV is the official information
received by his mother, Mrs. B. Fr
Beason, Sr., of Canyon, from the
adjutant general of the army.
Beason was killed in action in
the Philippine Islands, Dec. 14,
1944, while he was a prisoner of
war. The adjutant general regret- ,
ted that circumstances made it im-
possible to report the son’s death
promptly.
In a letter dated Sept, 1, the ad-
jutant general wrote Mrs. Beason
as follows:
“It is with deep regret that l am
writing to confirm my recent tele-
gram advising you that your son
Technical Sergeant Benjamin F.
Beason, finance department, was
killed in action Dec. 14, 1944, at
Puerto Princesa, Palawan, Philip-
pine Islands, while a prisoner of
the Japanese government.
“Your son was one of a group of
150 members of the United States
Army, Navy and Marine Corps,
Who were imprisoned by the Jap-
anese at a camp at Puerto Prin-
cesa, Palawan. On Dec. 14, 1944,
this -group of prisoners were at-
tacked without warning by their
1 Japanese guards, who attempted
to massacre the prisoners to the
last man,
“Ten of the prisoners succeed-
ed in escaping. There were the
only survivors. It has been offi-
cially established by reports re-
ceived in’ the War Department
that all the remaining prisoners,
including your son, perished as a
result of this ruthless attack.
“I fully appreciate the deep
sorrow that this message brings to
your home and offer you my
deepest sympathy. It is my hope
that you may find some measure
of consolation in the knowledge
that you son has sacrificed his life
in the service of his country and
in preservation of its ideals.”
The letter was signed by Major
Edward F. Witsell, acting adju-
tant general of the army.
Sgt. Beason was 24 years old
and was born June 16, 1920. He
lived in Panhandle from Septem-
ber, 1926, until April, 1938, leav-
ing hgre shortly after his father’s

warded to the commanding gen-

SILVER STAB
“For gallantry ih action near
the Philippine islands,- on 31 May
1945. Private Russ - was a member
an eriemy machine-gun emplace-
ment on a high ridge which was
harassing the movement of a
troop charged with the mission of
securing the ridge. Moving out
in the lead, Private Russ volun-
teered to attempt to eliminate the
enemy with grenades. Crawling
along the reverse slope of a hill
opposite the enemy he hurled a
grenade which scored a direct hit
on the enemy gun, silencing it.
Then, heedless to the danger in-
volved, he rose and made his way
over the crest of the hill where
he killed four enemy who were
occupying the position. Shortly
afterwards an enemy sniper’s bul-
let struck Private Russ in the
temple, and he fell mortally
wounded close to the enemy gun.
His intrepidity in the face of the
enemy imbued his troops with de-
termination and the ridge was
successfully taken. Private Russ’
courage and devotion to duty is

Student Takes Nap;
Loses Typewriter
C. F. Hood, Jr., freshman Uni-
versity of Texas student, took a
nap at Austin the other day and
lost his typewriter.
C. F. left the door to his room
open and took an afternoon snooze.
•When he awakened, he missed his
portable typewrter and case.
As it was about the time that
terms were ending and begin-
ning, C. F. believes that a depart-
ing student couldn’t resist the
temptation to take the type-
writer.
The Panhandle student is the
son of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Hood.

By MRS. JOE E. BOYD
(First Installment)
Thomas Monroe Cleek lived on
a farm with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Sam Cleek, near Livingston,
TOnn., county seat of Overton
county, before coming to the Pan-
handle of Texas.
His mother’s brother, Lee Mas-
ters, preceded Tom to Panhandle.
In "August, 1887, he wrote to Tom
about the wonderful opportunities
for a vou:g man in the new
county. • i..:e Santa Fe Railroad
was pushing its way through the
Panhandle and level, heavily sod-
ded grass land was selling for $1.00
an acre.
“I was 20 years old and anxious
to be on my own and get a start,
so with another of my mother’s
brothers* George Masters, I soon
headed for Texas,” said Tom.
Travels io Claude
“In the early part of December,J
1887, Uncle George and I were on
a caboose of a work train going
from Clarendon to Claude. Going
to a frontier country was a new
experience to me, so I asked a
fellow traveler about a hotel at
Claude, as I wanted to look ahead
to my needs. The fellow traveler
told me not to worry about a hotel
room; there were plenty of hotels
in Claude. I was aware that my
friend had had his fun at my ex-
pense when George and I got off
tlie train, for Claude was indicat-
ed only by a section house. Uncle
Geprge and I unrolled our bed
rolls and spent the night in the
section house.
“We were met the next morn-
ing by Uncle Lee and went by
hack to the place where Panhandle
was to bp located. Only a . few
tents showed us where the city
was to later spring tip.”
The first day: Tom spent in
Panhandle the Weather was mild
and sunshiny, slightly misleading
about the blizzards that were to
follow.
Remembers Three Families
“I remember three families be-
ing in Panhandle when I arrived.
J. C. Stanhope, father of the late
Mrs. F. H. Hill, was living on a
claim and carrying the mail from
Clarendon to Panhandle. He
drove his hack to Claude, and
went to Clarendon on the work
train, picked up the mail, rode the
train back and on by hack to Pan-
handle. Moss was running a tent j
restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. S. Jl
Kimsey and son were also living
in a tent. Kimsey had filed on a
section of land, west of Panhandle,
but was living in town. He had
built an adobe wall around his
tent in corral fashion. He had i
also erected a wire enclosure tdj
keep his roan horse in. *
“The first winter I stayed, in
Panhandle,” said Tom, was spent
at Moss’ tent restaurant. The
tent was about 12x14 feet and was
boarded up at the, bottom. It was
used for sleeping, eating and
lopnging quarters. At night, I
with various others passing
through, spread my bed roll and
slept on the floor in the tent.
Sometime there Were as many as
6 or 8, who spent the night, and
at other times only 2 or 3 fellows;
In the picture above are shown Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Cleek with
their small daughter, Nadine, who is now Mrs. Curtis Douglas of
Pampa. The daughter now has

.site, and sold out lots in a profit-
able business.
“Ho\yever the railroad was built
only as far as White Deer, when
I arrived. Kimsey was operating
a transfer business, conveying
prospectors from the railroad
terminus to Panhandle. This was
my first job driving the hack from
White Deer to Panhandle. The
hack; was open and in thh win-
ter time I gave my passengers a
very uncomfortable trip.”
Gambler Arrives
One of Tom’s first passengers
Was a man called Tex. He ques-
tioned Tom about j Panhandle,
when he arrived in White Deer.
Tom told him there was a bunch
of gamblers over there, was about
all there, was to Panhandle.
“Well,” said Tex,-“That’s what I
am, so I want to go to Panhandle.”

Lions Have Barbecue
For School Teachers
Teachers of ; the Panhandle
School system were guests of the
Lions Club at a barbecue held at
Paul Park at 7 ? o’clock, Tuesday
evening.
This picnic took the place of the
regular weekly luncheon. Having
the teachers'as guests is an annual
custom with the- club.
No formal program was held.
Mrs. S. G. Bobbitt returned
Monday from Richmond, Calif.,
after 11 week’s visit with Lt. and
Mrs. John Nunn and son Larry.
TT T ._ , Mrs.' Nunn .is' Mrs.' Bobbitt’s
Mrs. H. J. Hughes daughter.
However, by 1888, many peo-
remember seeing pie had flocked to the country,
on account of the cheap land and
the prospects of Panhandle being
a railroad center. Many of them
were people who had come be-
cause they were ambitious to get
ahead and they stayed and became
land owners.
Worked As Surveyor
“When I first came to Panhandle
I worked at any and every thing,
quarters scattered over the coun-
try, and a few nesters.”
O. H. Nelson was an employee
of the Santa. Fe and knew the
railroad Was coming. He filed on
the land where Panhandle was to
be located. As soon as the ties
were down, he laid off the town-
mustangs, built houses and plow-
ed ground. I also helped J. L.
punched cattle, rounded-up wild
Gray in surveying the country.
The Santa Fe Railroad bed was
graded as far as Panhandle, but
the tract had been laid only as
fas as White Deer. The White
Deer Land and Cattle company
was then operating, owning many
thousands of acres east of White
Deer. Pampa had not been estab-
lished at that time, and there was
only a section house at White
Deer.
“The second year I was in the
Plains country I worked near
where Pampa was later located.
Ai Holland, who was later sheriff
of Carson county, a:';cL I worked
fpr the .White peer Land and Cat-
tie company. I plowed the first
land turnecLin that section of the
country. I plowed land on the
north of the section house at
White Deer and also some on the
south.
Wolves Cut Down Steer
“One morning, when I was1
working with some cattle of the
White Deer Lahd and Cattle com-
pany over near Col. B. B. Groom’s
pasture I heard a bunch of cattle
bawling and walked out to ’ see
, what was causing the commotion.
Ten lobo wolves cut out a steer
very much a? cowboys on ponies
would have done. They cut the
ham strings in the back legs of the
steer and got him down and in
less time thah it takes to tell- it,
all piled on him and had a feast.
“A few years after I came to
Panhandle, several cowboys and I
vent to Roswell, N. M., to bring
Pack a herd, of cattle for Bill Win-
ters. We left on April 10 with
now ponies and chuck wagon. It
was a hard trip. Several times I
>rushed snow _ off my bed roll
when I awoke in the mornings. A
long way from Roswell, a farmer
ay the road stopped us and when
he found out we> were expecting
to return soon, asked us to bring
his mail to him. He got his mail
once or twice a year, We accom-
modated and on our return brought
a gunny sack packed full. We got
back to Panhandle, July 4

When Window

In the early morning hours of

ceived an injury on his arm that
necessitated him having six stitch-
es taken. A high wind, that

ted that it was about to take a

the window attempting to brace
it when the wind blew out break-
ing the pane and cutting his arm.
