There have been several attempts to have it moved, but there was always so much opposition that the change was never made. About twelve years ago a vote was taken on the proposition to move it, and the vote was for it, but the fact that one of the notices of election was posted on a telephone pole on the south side of the county line road, which is in Macon county and out of the district, made the election illegal and the matter was dropped. The Randall district was once a part of the Texas district, but as the school was so large and many of the children had to go two.

miles to school, the district was divided about forty-five years ago, and the Randall school house was built at that time. It was located about a mile from each of the two wagon roads, the Bloomington and the one on the line between Macon and De Witt counties. CLASS HAS BANQUET The Men's Bible class of the M.

30, issued the Strike Bulletin this week. There was no reference to the shooting, except in an appeal to the members of labor unions by Frank Comerford of Chicago, one of Person's attorneys, to contribute toward his de fense. This, of course, meant that his attorneys want the money to de fend him. It is said 20000 copies of this paper were sent out and there will no doubt, be an inflowing of funds that will insure the justice, which Comerford claims, is necessary. He forgot to say the law provides for attorneys when the accused is not able to hire them.

Attorneys Comerford and Miller put two or three days getting signed statements from some of those who saw the shooting. It is said this course. was taken preparatory to an effort to have Person released on habeas corpus proceedings. What was the purpose will perhaps be known soon.
