Tilden Was Named Dog Town TILDEN, Tex. (/P>Dogs outnum bered cowboys 10 to 1 in the old days when this town was known as Dog Town. After the presidential election of 1876 the name of the town was changed to Tilden but people still called it Dog Town. The town was settled by a few pioneer ranchers who built homes in a bend of the Frio as protection against Mexican bandits and plun dering Comanches. An enterprising merchant moved in with a few groceries set up a little bar and established the town’s first store. thieves and gamblers who was at a loss for excitement. He bet a friend that he could shoot the hat off a drunk slumbering beneath a mesquite in front of a store. The bullet was low and while no one particularly mourned the death of the sleeping man, they did deplore the work necessary to bury him. Old timers, wishing to prevent the town from getting a bad name, organized the Dog Town Vigilance Committee and one morning passed the word that thieves, gamblers and bums were no lopger welcome. 1900, with an irrigation project furnished from the Nueces river.

LOS ANGELES (TPl—Jack Cody, a coarse, cocky con man who claims he was hired to kill, faced another seige by the cross-examin er in the Finch murder trial today as it became evident the defense wjll contend: 1. That Cody was hired to en trap Barbara Jean Finch roman- ticafly* not to murder her. 2. That Dr. E. Bernard Finch was not armed when he went to see his wife the night of her death, and that he killed her by accident or in self defense. Finch, wealthy 42-year-old sur geon, is on trial with his pretty mistress, Carole Tregoff, 28. They are accused of murder in the July 18 gunshot death of Mrs. Finch, 36. She was slain outside her suburban home. Cody, brought here to testify from the Minneapolis workhouse, insisted again Wednesday under cross-examination that the doctor and Miss Tregoff paid him $1,400 to do away with Mrs. Finch, and that he had no intention of going through with it. But he was more vague about his purported con versations with Miss Tregoff than he had been under examination by the prosecution. Then later he said: “I didn’t know nothing about the murder until I talked to Carole.” AH Long Play Records 1.00 OFF AH 45 Albums V2 Price RECORD SALE Every cowman in the area had a pack of dogs to hunt wild cattle and when they gathered in the new town the name Dog Town be came inevitable.
