Chas. Morton of Erick was in
town this week and informed us
a hailstoim j aesed east of Texe-
la Monday night doing consider-
able damage to cotton.
We have been compelled ti
leave out some very inter esting
correspondence this week; some
because it came in too late and
because there was neither lime
to set it nor room to put it.
Watch for it. It will be good
reading when it gets to you.
Sam Tennery of Hext Switch
says he will subscribe for The
Headlight if he can be assured
that The Headlight was a head
light for the tru'h and not a rabid
partisan for socialism. All we
ask is, read The Headlight and
read it from the standpoint of
the headline: ‘Truth weirs no;
mask; bows at no human shrine;
seeks neither place nor applause;
she only asks a hearing.”
C. H. .Cope, Horace Gaither
and J. D. Clay went to Okla.
City last week to witness the
hanging of Prather who was to
have been hanged for one of the
most attrociou3 crimes ever com-
mitted in Okla. His sentence
was commuted to imprisonment
for life just a few minutes before
the time set for his execution.
They tell a tale about deputies
Rogers and McDonald losing a
prisoner by the name of Aaron.
He jumped fr.m the wagon they !
were riding in and hid in the'
deep waters of the creek where I
he could get his nose out of water
and yet his body be hid till they
got tired of hunting for him.
Aaron has since taken a trip to
Texas for his health.
A delegation of Carterites in
the city Monday on bridge bus-
iness again had our board of Co.
Corn’rs take a joy ride to view
the location. They have finally
decided to locate ihe bridge at
the “Red Austin” crossing. It
is said Monday night is the first
mghf Carter folk slept weft Since
the bridge question was first
agitated.
