Clovis, N. M, Jan. 20.-The board
OF education OF this city has done
something toward solving the problem
of the reduction of teachers expenses
while they are under the present dow

room has been established in the base
ment OF the high school where a res
turant is run for the teachers at
exact cost to them Of producing the
meals they consume. Superintendent

Each teacher pays in $6.25 a week and
at the end OF each month the cost is

is BELIEF
Investigate Records AS to Death
Of Woman; Was Pauper, Son
Oil Estate Worth
100000

Mrs. Elizabeth Sutton, thought to
have been buried as pauper here
several years ago, is the inheritor Of
an estate valued at 100000.
This was made known yesterday
afternoon when Attorney Stanley
Banks Of San Antonio, Texas, arrived
in the city to ascertain information
relative to the death of Mrs Sutton,
the heiress of the estate of her sor,
who, it is said, reaped a harvest off
the Tampico, Mexico, oil fields. The
son was killed last year when a boat
in which he was going from Tampico
to South America, was torpedoed by
a Hun submarine, Attorney Banks
said.
Although no records as to the
death of the woman had been found
at 10 o'clock this morning, it is the
belief Of W. w. Clarke, city treas
urer, who is assisting in the search
for the desired Information, that the
deceased was buried here in 1915 by
the Chickasha United Charities, Rec
ords of the Charities are being ex-
amined today in an attempt prove
the accuracy of this belief. Records
of the county and local undertakers
bear no information relative to the
woman's death
1t is also believed that Mrs. Nancy
Smith. sister of Mrs. Sutton, died
here soon after the burial Of Mrs.
Sutton.
Information obtained from relatives
of the heiress is to the effect that
the two ladies died here. Attorney
Banks returned to San Antonio yes
terday leaving further investigation
il charge of Mr.. Clarke, who an
nounced this morning that rigid in
vestigations will be made in an at
tempt to secure the necessary data.
The records of DR.. L. E. Emanuel
county health officer in 1915, will
p,obably give the information de
ired, is the belief of Mr.. Clarke.
