Out of the past

Reports from the annual conferences of the M.E. Church that have held sessions, indicate there will be a majority of the next general conference in favor of women delegates to the conferences.
Lee McQuern, of Canton, fell from an eastbound Big Four freight train about a mile west of Hardin about 1 o’clock this morning, breaking his right thigh and dislocating his right hip. He lay alongside the track until found by the section crew around 8 o’clock. He was taken to Houston to the home of Dudley Miller, where his injuries were dressed. He said he was beating his way home from Texas and was sitting on the bumpers between two cars and apparently went to sleep and fell off.
