Alpine Avalanche issue from Alpine published Thursday morning March 2 1911 lists subscription price 1.60 in advance. The postal registration notes second class mail matter and Alpine Texas as the publication city.
A compact analysis notes socialistic leaders in Lower California Mexico and promises of land subdivision to peons, drawing parallels to Reconstruction era promises of “forty acres and a mule.” It critiques demagogues and cites Texas events, Alpine’s Summer Normal, and references to press dispatches on Mexican revolution coverage.
The fragmentary piece recounts a trip to San Henderson with mountain scenery praise and humorous train adventures. References to Marathon, Alpine groups, a Mexican hat raid, and playful exchanges with a news vendor create a lively but ragged travel note. A legal document about Brewster County land contracts and Oklahoma mortgages concludes the excerpt with formal foreclosure details and requests for judgment.
The State of Texas issues a citation by publication requiring J B Aiken to appear in the District Court in Alpine on September 11 1911 to answer a petition by G W W Key filed February 27 1911. The case concerns a written contract dated December 10 1910 involving conveyance of land lots and railroad lands in Texas to the defendant.
