Mr. Fred W. Caldwell, Gen. Mgr
We began using the Natural Gas
furnished by your company on or
about Jan. 10th, 1909, and find it
very satisfactory.
We are burning when running full
force about one hundred and fifty
thousand cu. ft. per day and find that
It is much more economic than the
coal that we have been burning in
the past, giving a very even temper-
ature that is very necessary In our
work.
As near as it is possible to figure
in the short time that we have been
using It can safely say that It has
made us a saving of 35 per cent. |
Very truly yours,

evening, at the First M. E. church,

of unusual culture and ability, being
a thorough teacher of the art of ora

entertainer. She is a graduate ol
the Texas Christian University of

merly of Shawnee, with bigamy. The
complaining witness upon whose tes-
timony the Indictment was returned
was Miss Nellie K. Allen or Mrs.
Robert McKay or Mrs. D. 8. Gavin,
whichever the name IB that properly
belongs to her. This Is the woman
who made the affidavit, published in
The News, December 9, upon which
the adultery case against Mr. Gavin
was dismissed. She now claims that
all the alleged facts set forth in the
affidavit, so far as the tend to show
Gavin's Innocence, are false, and that
she knew them to bo false at the
time that, she made the affidavit This
affidavit, Bhe asserts, was made for
the purpose of clearing Gavin, who,
she further claims, agreed to return
to her if she succeeded in getting
him clear. She claims to be Gavin's
lawful wife, and charges bigamy aud
also will sue for support. This ac-
tion. the complainant asserts, was
taken because of Gavin's failure to
keep his promise to return to her.
She professes to have letters from
Gavin which will substantiate her as-
sertions.

Bridges, recently brought back
