HUNTSVILLE IN 100TH
YEAR OF ITS EXISTENCE
HUNTSVILLE, March 6.—Hunts-
ville, hoihe of the state penitentiary
and the Sam Houston State Teachers
college is now in the 100th year of
its existence.
In 1830, Pleasant Gray, with his
wife, left their home in Huntsville,
Ala., and pushed, westward. While
traversing what is now Texas, then
belonging to Mexico, he became favor-
ably impressed with the friendliness
of the Bedias Indians and neighbor-
ing tribes. He immediately decided
to remain among the Indians and
trade with them.
Gray’s, next step was to find a
suitable location for his post. Just
75 miles north of Houston, in what
is now Walker county, Gray estab-
lished his trading post, calling it
Huntsville for his native town. The
former trading post now boasts of a
population of more than 6,000.
Huntsville is widely known as the
former home of Gen. Sam Houston,
hero ofl Texas Independence. General
Houston’s old home and grounds are
maintained by the state as a shrine.
HOUSE BURNS NEAR
LAMPASAS FRIDAY
Fire destroyed a house at the edge
of the city Friday afternoon about
3 o’clock. The house was known as the
Dillingham place and was located on
the hill to the left and back of the
place owned by A. R. Harvey in the
western portion of the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Patterson had
moved itheir household effects, into
the place Thursday and nothing was
saved from the flames. Mr. Patterson
had built a fire in the kitchen stove
and had gone down a piece from the
house to cut some wood. In a short
time he noticed some smoke and by
the time he reached the house it was
a mass of flames. The fire alarm was
turned in and the truck made the call
but, no hose connection could be made
as it was out of the reach of a fire
plug. The place was owned by Bob
McBeth of Brownwood.
The Hooper Dry Goods Co., is now
showing the new this spring styles
in “Virginia Hart” and “Cherry Bell”
wash dresses. These dresses are sold
exclusively by them in this trade
territory. The dresses are guaranteed

TAYLOR, March 6.—Three new
wells have been spudded in at the
new field southeast of Taylor since
Tuesday afternoon making a total of
sevpn holes now down in search of
oil, while at least1 two wells are ex-
pected to come in this week. The E. L.
Chapmian-Fuchs No. 1 is expected
to be brought in by Friday or Sat-
urday, and the Sconyers-Abbott No. 1

covery wells, and the Sarafield Wilson-

ling got under way again Wednes-

WRECKAGE OF LOST PLANE
LOCATED IN ISOLATED CANYON
LOS ANGELES, March 6.—Wreck-
age of a Western Air • Express tri-
motored transport, which disappeared
12 days ago with its crew of three
in the snow-bound San Bernardino
mountains, was found late today in
an isolated canyon by Dudley Steele,
one of the group of airplane pilots
searching for the lost ship.
Steele said he saw two inert bodies
in the heavy brush near the wreck-
age.
Steele, head of the aviation de-
partment of the Richland Oil company’
flying with Miss Juanita Burns of
Los Angeles, asj an, observer, sighted
the wreckage in a canyon five miles
northwest of Coxey’s ranch and about
20 miles from Lake Arrowhead on
the eastern slope of the mountains.
As his open cockpjit plane sped over
the mountain peaks, a dab of bril-
liant red on the ground caught his
eye. Hd circled the precipitous peaks
and as he approached the spot again
both he and Miss Burns saw the
wreckage.
Miss Burns said she saw the block
letters “W. A. E.” on a wing which
had been torn from the /fuselage.
The wing was caught on one of the
canyon sides. Deep in the ravine she
saw the fuselage, all of it burned ex-
cept about four feet of the tail.
In a third dive over the canyon,
Steele and Miss Burns saw the bodies
caught in the heavy brush. They were
unable to cut the speed of their ship
sufficiently to count the number but
Miss Burns said there were at least
two bodies inert.'
