HEAVY FRUIT LOSS.

w G. Wingheld, OF the Verde
valley. while in the city Wednesday,
stated the lack OF rapid transporta-
ton facilities was never so keenly
felt as this year in the loss of
practically one-half OF the fruit crop
that was rotting on the ground for
lack OF a market. The yield is the
heaviest ever known, also. and with
rapid means of handling, the bust
ness would prove remunerative to
the many engaged. However, the
valley in its varied industries. con-
tinues to prosper and in the staple
articles has a larger growth than
ever known.

Animal Which Fell With
Miss Going First Known
to Lose Footing

p. III. Robertson OF Cropwel, returning
from a summer trip to Colorado. stopped
in Birmingham for a few hours yester-
day.
He stated that he was present when a
burro fell with Miss jamie Going of Bir-

Miss Going was not seriously injured -

gerated report of her accident. But the
newspapers missed the real story In the
case.
Prior to the tumble taken by the burro
which Miss Going was riding, there is
no record going to show that any other
burro had ever in the history of Colorado
lost his footing. When that burro fell
with Miss Going, he became a curiosity
He is pointed out UP to the present time,

BUSINESS COLLEGE
CASES POSTPONED
Contention With City Over Licenses
Will Be Submitted on an Agreed
Statement of Facts

By agreement between Sterling A.
Wood, representing the Wheeler, Mas
sey and Spencer Business colleges, and
Assistant City Attorney Joe Mudd, the
cases against the colleges brought by
the city charging them with doing
business without a license were con-
tinued for a few days by Judge Doug
las of the recorders court. The cases
came up Saturday morning when the
attorneys agreed to submit the cases
on an agreed statement of facts and
authorities.
The contention of the city is that
the business colleges are commercial
enterprises and as such should pay
licenses as other commercial enter
prises are required to do. The colleges
contend they should be exempt on the
ground that they are educational in
stitutions.
