(Wichita Falls Times.)
Nearly forty-eight hours after D.
J. Minnick was drowned his body was
recovered from the waters of Lake
Wichita shortly after 7 o’clock this
morning, nfear the spot where he sank
to his death. While the searchers
were dragging the lake nearby, the
man’s form rose to the surface and
was quickly seized and pulled into the
boat.
Dynamite was resorted to yesterday
in an effort to bring the body to the
surface and after two shots had been
fired the body was seen floating on the
water. Before those in the boats
could row to the place it had disap-
peared again beneath the surface and
could not again be located. More
dynamite was used but without re-
sult.
A large number of men have been
on duty at the point since the drown-
ing, making every effort to find
body and every known means was re-
sorted to in the attempt to locate it.
The search continued day and night.
E. Minnick of Burkburnett, brother of
the deceased, was among the search-
ers; E. G. Hill, Judge C. B. Felder,
I Frankie Burns, O. T. Gorsline, J.
! Blacklock, Dick Wheeler, Ben Savage,
J. O. Rolling and a number of others
were on duty this morning when the
body was found.
The lake was patrolled carefully '
this morning, it being thought that,
” | perhaps the body had risen to the sur-
face during the night. i
Minnick was drowned Sunday after-
ing the recent deluge and the weeds
Ijave thrived. It will require six
weeks ^f hard work to lay by the
crops and lo accomplish the task in
this time will require many additional
hands. Msiny farmers have been too
busy to come to town for supplies and
are ordering groceries by. telephone.
Several local merchants have insti-
tuted rural free delivery and are send-
ing provisions into the country as far
as five and six miles.
PHYSICIANS MEET.
The News is printing programs for
the meeting of the Northwest Texas
District Medical Association to be held
in Weatherford, Texas, on June 16
and 17. !
The meeting promises to be one of
more than ordinary interest to the
medical fraternity, as a large number
of well known physicians will speak
on different subjects, embracing Sur-
gery, State Medicine and Public Hy-
giene, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and
the Practice of Medicine. These dis-
courses cannot fail to be instructive to
all attending.
Our own Dr. Pattillo will speak on
“A Resume of Some of Our Present
Medical Laws.
At the close of the professional busi-
ness a social program will be followed
out, including a reception by the ladies
of Weatherford and a grand barbecue.
Dr. Pattillo, whpyg^secretary and
treasurer of t^^mganizafeon, has#been
untiring in hft'efforts to make the af-

The plaintiff alleged cruelty, among
other things, and said that Pat had
frequently beaten her.
‘‘How often did he beat you?” in-

“Well,” answered the wife, “we
were married in December, 1910.
Since then I guess he’s beat me up on
an average of about once a week.”
