ANOTHER THRIFT
 TRIAL OPPOSED
PETITION MAY BE SENT
re ATTORNEY GENERAL, RE- BURSTING HIM NOT TO
 DEMAND TT.

The supreme courts decision re- versing and remanding the Threet case, as published in the Log Cabin Democrat yesterday, was the subject of considerable discussion in Conway since the report was published and judging from expressions of opinions by large number, it is the unani- nous desire of the people here that the attorney general consent to a mod .ficatlon of the sentence, as pro- vlded Tn the supreme courts decision. eliminating the necessity of a re-tlial iii the Faulkner circuit court.
 Citizens everywhere are expressing the hope that the community will not have to undergo again the nauseating experience of another trial and there is considerable talk of drafting a pe- tition addressed to the attorney gen. eral, requesting him to consent to the supreme court sentencing Threet to the penitentiaIy on the lesser charge. The court granted the state 15 days in which to accept this alternative, otherwise the case will be remanded for another trial. Should the consent of the attorney general be filed, the supreme court will fix the number of years which the negro must serve in the penitentiary.
 Although the full text of the su- preme courts decision has not yet been received here, it is understood that their reason for reversing the trial in the lower court was that two offenses, one being for a capital crime, were joined in the same indict- ment under which Threet was tried Whether there were other errors of which the supreme court took notice has not yet been learned.

GOOD PROGRESS
 ON SEWER WORK

The fine weather for the past 10 days has enabled Contractor Joseph McCCppin to make splendid progress on the construction of the sewer sys- tenn. For the past few days he has averaged laying 662 feet of pipe a day, and at this rate would lay a mile every eight days. The ditching machine is at present at work on Col lege avenue.
 Mr. McCoppin has been delayed in the construction of the southeastern septic tank, for which excavations were made some weeks ago, on ac- count of the excavation being flooded with water. He has ordered a gaso- line pump which is expected to reach here in few days, and this machine will be used to keep the water ex- hausted whie the concrete is being laid. As soon as the tank is com pleted MT. McCoppin says practically all of the eastern section of the city will he ready to be connected, and the citizens in this section may begin to use the sewers at once, before the entire work is completed.

quency toward the Clovis goal.
a great many fouls were called
on both sides. For Hereford,
the free throwing was well
done as is shown by the fact
that II out of their 16 points
were made in this way. Had
Clovis been able to do as vel
in this department they could
have counted a full ten points
more. However, it was no
necessary.
The local team played good

Clovis New Mexico.

Clovis New Mexico
Cent emen:
You have asked me the
question in reference to he con-
dition of he Central High School
Building.
l beg to advise that you en-
ployed me to repair this building
in a manner that would be ac-
cepted by Mr.. Klasner, of the
Bridge & Building Department
Of the Santa Fe. The building
is to have / Ia inch sCeel rods
placed from outside to outside.
Some of the rods have been put
in, and the balance will be plac-
ed wit hin two weeks from this
date.
I am making this statement
for the reason that some Of our
citizens have the impression that
the building is unsafe.
No patron Of the school need
be uneasy, for the building in
my opinion as a constructor ii;
good for twenty years to come
with the repair already done.
Yours very truly,
G. l.. OvERBY.
