APPALLING
Is Condition Of A Family At
Centefburg
Humane Officer Called In To
Investigate

An appalling condition of living was
discovered by Humane Officer Jacob
Lybarger near Centerburg Monday,
while on an official visit. Four little
children and their father we're quar-
tered in hut SO filthy rs to put
beasts to shame, according TO Mr.. Ly-
barger. The bed clothes were almost
black, while sanitary arrangements
about the house were totally lacking.
Mr.. Lybarger had talk with the
father. He informed him that he
would take his children from him, IL
a cleaning-up was not made. At this
the father broke down and implored
Mr.. Lybarger not to do this, stating
that he was willing to do anything to
keep his children. Mr.. Lybarger di-
rected him to set the household in Or
der and make the life of his children
more sanitary. This the man agreed
to do.
The mother of the family is dead
and the father, 1t is said. drinks at
times to excess.

yesterday afternoon came out OF the
mine and reported having seen nc

summed up briefly In the statement
that nothing has been found to indi

ings. Some of his deputies share the
belief, but the vast majority are in
clined to think that the man Is gone,
but none can or viii vouchsafe an
opinion as to how he escaped.
Some rumors are being given Gre
dence here this morning that the body
OF Lopez might have been found some
time ago by searching party and
buried inside the workings to prevent
it ever being discovered. However
those most familiar with the situation
declare that this is not only improb-
able, but almost impossible.
1t Is also rumored that Sefano, the
Italian, who helped Lopez in getting
into the mine, gave the Mexican $50
in gold when he left him. 1t is said
that Lopez might have used this
money in buying his escape from some
OF the foreign miners, who were work
ing in the tunnels before the bulk
heads were put In place.
Secret Search Made
That the story printed in The Tri-
bune several days ago, to the effect
that secret search Of the Andy tun-
mel had been made was correct, was
indicated yesterday afternoon when It
was found that the bulkhead had been
tempered with and by the later ad-
mission of one of the leaders in the
hunt that the search had been made.
Sheriff Smith announced this morn
ing that the search would again be
taken up at daybreak and that doZ
en- or more deputies would enter the
mine. On the inside these will be di.
vided, going into all sections at the
same time so that It would be impos.
sible for Lopez to escape If he is
alive by lodging from one working to
another.
At 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon the
first searching party entered the An,
dy tunnel and the tearing away OF
the bulkhead was started.

- Jealousy is a poor guest to enter
tain. Never let your husband see that
you are Jealous. 1t means you do not
trust him. If this thought has obtain
ed Judgment, however, try to devise
some reasonable excuse for the cou-
sins going somewhere else. Have you
no very near relative or friend who
could come to make a visit sufficiently
protracted SO that you would need the
room occupied by your cousin? Any
excuse that would seem natural any
thing that would not lead your hus-
band to suspect that you are jealous
would be all right.
Dear Mrs Thompson: This summer

There is nothing you can do with
that kind of a man. You had better
buy another pair and think no more
about them.
