Private homes were broken into.
Officers were not spared. No one
could tell just how the thing was
managed or get the least idea as to
who it was.
^ Wednesday the store of Mr. Rush,
who doeB business near the West
Side JB&Ptist Church, was robbed of
$42.00 cash.
Chief of Police, G. G. Flournoyi got
on the job at once with his force
and three arrests were made. As we
went to press County Attorney E. V.

It seems that the robbers were not
content' with taking“fcold out of Dr.
Rutherford’s dental office to amount
of perhaps fifty dollars, but they went
down to his home, where they took
Joe’s bank. Joe is doctor Ruther-
ford’s only boy and that was Joe’s
only bank that was rribbed—bank add
all taken. Joe is nearly nine years
of'age and is also, shy two dollars
and his whole bank. Mrs. Rutherford
lost some small change and this took
place Tuesday afternoon last.
On the same day someone broke in-
to the home of A. C. Easterling,
North Ferguson Street, but must
have been scared off, as they secured
nothing.

thieves touched him also.

ROTARIES REGULAR
MEETING AT THE INN
There were about forty men to as-
semble at the Stamford Inn last Tues-
day for the usual luncheon, which
takes place every Tuesday there.
President George Pryor was in the
chajr, at the head of the table, and
Secretary Arthur Buster, his faithful
and efficient aide de camp, was at
his side.
The meal over the speaking be-
gan, and Rev. J. M. Youree, classi-
fication of minister, Central Presby-
terian Church, gave a very fine de-
tail of the duties and the expectations
of a pastor who was trying, as he saw
it, to do his duty. He took occasion to
hand out some soft criticism, though
in the proper spirit of some sensation-
al evahgelistsr- it was stated.
The meeting was a good one and
each member received an uplift by
having attended.
Stamford’s Football Team’s
The Stamford High School Football
teams, the first and second, are good

field every time they play. Root for

STAMFORD WOMAN IN
FORT WORTH HOSPITAL
There was a report to reach Siam
ford on the night of Tuesday to the
effect that Miss Evalina Lay, who
has been in the Harris Hospital at
Fort Worth, was in a dangerous con-
dition and that her people were being
notified of her condition. The Leader
representative saw Dr. E. P. Bunk-
ley Thursday about noon and he in-
formed us that she was getting fairly
well, and that he saw her Wednes-
day, ^the doctor stopping at the hos-
pital on his way back from San An-
tonio, where he had been to attend
the meeting of surgeons of the state.
Miss Lay’s friends will be glad to
learn of her improvement since the
distressing report of her seriou3 con-
dition. \
Mr. and Mrs. Allen Cox and lit-
tle son have gone -to Petersburg,
Texas, to make their home. Mr. Cox
was transferred by Bryant Link and
Co., to a store recently taken over
at that place.

time of a case of typhoid fever. He

ihe Stamford Leader consulted
with Superintendent N. S. Holland
yesterday morning and asked him
concerning the editing and ad solici-
ting of The Stamford Leader for one
issue and he gladly consented for us
to talk the matter with the senior
class ot the school.
Thursday afternoon at 1 o’clock at
the Chapel Meeting of the school
the matter was taken up and then
Miss Margaret Crockett, teacher in
that department, phoned us that art
was set for the boys and girls to
take hold Of the work and she named
some of the bright young folks over
there at that school—they are all
bright over there at that school—
and they will have charge of the edit-
The Leader in about two weeks. This
is not be confounded with the Stam-
ford Auditorium' special number,
which comes in about thirty days, as
it will be a new idea of itself.
The young people named are: Daw-
son Duncan, Claude Prichard, Kath-
leen Whittington and Minnie Marga-
ret Howard, a quartet of young
people that will make good. They will
solicit at the proper time for the
ads and they will write the local news
and get up the paper in good and
proper style.
The Leader is more than pleased
to make this announcement. It has
always been for the schools, along
with other good things of Stamford
and we are sure this move will make
a decisive hit with all. Watch for
that big special edition.
this issue will be printed, but work
will begin at once.
CRIMM STARTS ID! SENATORS AND PIRATES
AT RULE IRIS WEEK BATTLING TOWARD END
The leader had a pleasant and
agreeable surprise Wednesday when
Rev. B. B. Crimm, the noted evange-
list arrived in the office, all smiles
and rearing to get right in the big
meeting which has been started at
Rule for him, and to which he is one
week late, we observe, yet he will
catch up, as he is that sort of a fel-
low—one who will be “up with the
hounds.”, as the saying goes. Crimm
had been down home to see his
family and Monday night he was out
on a fox hunt. He left Marshall,
Texas early Tuesday morning -for
Rule arriving in Sweetwater in time
to miss the Orient, so he took a
service car and came over here to
be among his friends. He announced
that he has the best bunch he has
ever had with him. S. M. Armstrong
is leading the singing and he is a
fine one. He has a Scotchman with
him playing the piano, and “Scotty”
is truly a wonder on the instrument
which is removed some distance from
the instrument that old Jew, David
played and made such a “rep” with
—the harp. No doubt many people
from Stamford will go to Rule to
hear the preacher and hear the musi-
cian.
The big battle between the Sena-
tors from Washington and the Pirat-
es, of Pitpburgh, was on yesterday
as we were getting ready for the
press. The game stood at the first
inning 4 to nothing, favor Washing-
on. At the end of the third inning
Pittsburgh came up with runs. At
the end of the fourth inning the
Senators were 6 and the Pirates 3.
ALTON M’CLELLAN HAS
NEAR FATAL ACCIDENT
Wednesday- about noon Alton Me- one hour after the accident. Medical
dellan was badly hurt at the home j aid was. secured at once and it was
of A. A. Lovvorn, his father-in-law,; with difficulty that he was restored
ft" Ew as soon as he was. At this writing,
Thursday at noon^ he is resting very
well, though his right arm is burn-
ed terriby and his lips and nose also
are burned, they coming in contact
frith the wire.
The many friends of Alton, and
they are all who know this fine young
fellow, deeply regret the accident and
hope for his early recovery. He is
at his father’s home, west part of
town, where he is' confined to his
bed, though doing as well as could be
expected at the last accounts, noon
on East Oliver street.
The facts are about like this: Al-
ton has had a radio set working down
at the home of Mr. Lovvorn, and he
was taking the set down preparatory
to moving it when the wires of the
radio came in contact with a metal
gutter that lead to a live wire, thus
making a ground through Alton. He
was knocked down and became en-
tangled with the wires and remained'
in that position for about five min-
utes before help could be obtained.
He was knocked unconscious and re-
nfained in that condition for about Thursday.
COMPANY
At
4.
he end of the fifth it was 6 and
The Pirates had won three games
and the Senators three, so the tie was
being played off.
The game was won in the ninth
inning by Pittsburg by a score of 9
and \ amid wild excitement.
T. P. BROWN DIED AT LUEDERS
WAS SIXTY-FOUR YEARS OLD
—TRECTINB1ARH
The Shamburger Lumber Co., of
Wichita Falls, is right here on the
ground and is putting up a building
for the offices on South Wetherbee
street, just east of the Wooten Gro-
cery company. This firm has had a
lot of lumber on North Wetherbee
street back of the Stamford Inn and
will soon move that down to the new.
location, which will be the permanent
location.
This firm is a good one and comes
to Stamford believing it is a good
town to live in and do business in.
There is no use denying the fact
that Stamford is building right along
in every direction. More new houses
are going up all the time. Old ones
are being added to or repaired, while
the list of new buildings, such as the
Stamford Auditorium, The New Stam-
ford Inn, the Bounds Buildings on
West McHarg and others.
Many people have their eyes turned
this way.
.76 IN. PRECIimTlON
T. P. Brown, of Lueders, died at
that place and was buried at Swan’s
Chapel, Rev. J. D. Harvey conduct-
ing the funeral. Deceased leaves a
wife and three children. The Barrow
Furniture Co. had charge of the bu-
rial services, -
DOWN AT DALLAS FAIR
JUST FOR ASINLGLE DAY
You cannot handily get away from

together with the free tickets; when
the Dallas Fair managers, A. A.
Jackson, president and W. H. Scrat-
ton, secretary,'invites you, if you are
a newspaper man.
Those fellows will tell you about
the Press Day, which was last Mon-
day. this year: they will tell you they
want yofl to come and be with them,
partake of their food, drink of their
soft .drinks, see the shows, look at
the fair and just be their guests all
roundjjif you are a newspaper man
or a newspaper woman.
This is not a solo invitation. It
doeS ijot mean that you come down
and stag about the premises like a
stray purp. Not by a good deal. The
edict goes out to “bring the wife. She
likts a day off; she has helped you
^aper,. why not let' her
enjoy the day too? Don’t stop there;
bring the babies and the girls and
the boys; we can and will take cure
of all of you.” U
Vfhen you go, what do you girt?
There’s the gate ticket for all.
amounts to several dollars, after all.
It lasts the whole fair, if you want
It to, too. Then they took mr-thtg
time to the Adolphus Junior BaR'
room where there was a fine lunch-
eon. The Wortham Shows then paM-
ed tickets to everything on their id-
ley, and that was more than you cart\
see in a day, yet it was good night
and day. Then here came along a man
with the' announcement.....that ' your
press ticket at the gate would take
you to the horse races ( real, old-
fashioned, hair and hide horse races
that were good, too, and along about
that time another man announced
there was to be a fine show at the
Auditorium, which is the finest in
Texas, seating more than''I2000 peo-
ple, which makes the old one a ba-
by/ and then it is Up to date, too.
There were several more nice things
to merely reach out and take, but
that \vas a fist full for, ijjr, -so we
clinched what we .could hold arid went
forth from the Adolphus out in the
min anil to the shows and. fair
The fair is the biggest ever, jtlst
as they said it yvould be. The farm
exhibits ran over the agricultural

Mrs. N. K. Clifford ojF Dallas was a
recent guest of Mrs. J. E. Duncan,
while en route to Wellington. There
she will be the guest of her son, Lu-
ther Clifford, for several weeks. Mrs.
Clifford was for many years a resi-
dent of Stamford and has many
friends here among the older citizens
of the town.
HERE WtONtStfAY NlTE
There was another downpour of
rain Wednesday night which lasted
nearly all night, though at no time
approaching the flood proportions. V'
The rains seem to have extended
all the way from Dallas on westward
and reached farther than this terri-
tory.
Right here in Stamford the offi-
cial gauge- at Swenspn Brothers’
Townsite office registered seventy-six
one hundredths of an inch, or a frac-
tion more than three quarters of an
inch. *
We learn there was considerable
hail out south of town, Aut Dial’s
farm suffering considerable loss
thereby, as well as others out that
way.
Cotton has been cpnsiderably dam--
aged but farmers say not as much as
might have been expected, though in
places where the hail fell the loss
is very bad. 4
