tempted to interview DR.. Richard

here, when Brumfield landed on
his nose through the cell door

Brumfield at first mistook Bates
for his attorney, Dexter Rice, and
struck Bates when he realized his
mistake, insisting that Bates was
Steve Smith," He also attempted
to hurl an empty bottle at Bates
and Sheriff Starmer, who accom-
panied him, but the two fled, re-
turning a few minutes later.
Brumfield calmed down when
Sheriff Starmer threatened to
shoot him, after he had thrown
chunks Of coal at his visitors.
Sunday he called his wife by the
name of his sister, Mamie. That
he is shamming insanity is the
general belief here.

HorseSlow To
Open Tonight;
Animals Many

Everyone loves fine horse and
he viii be seen at his best at thu
fair grounds tonight when ths
first performance Of the annual
night horse show opens to the pub
lice.
The splendid structure in which
the show is held was center OF
attraction yesterday and today.
Many thousands visited the build
ing to take CLOSE up OF the
equine celebrities that are all
ready to step into the best show
ring In the United States and do
their best to win ribbon for a
proud owner.
Tonight's program is replete
with more than an average even
ing's showing.
In the five-gaited class two
/ world famous Kentucky saddIers
will be shown Bohemian Art. n

has been shown all over the horse

will make It hard for the judges to
place the ribbons.
The timber topplers" will be
out in full strength. The Handy
Hunters class will see twenty CON
testants put over six jumps includ-
Ing a "pig pen" and a table and
benches. Taking all the jumps in
this event into consideration it is
the stiffest test Of the nerves of
both horse and rider that is called
for, except in the high jump. A
sudden refusal at the bench and
table obstacle is one seriously con
sidered by riders as it is mighty

ions make 1t hurriedly necessary.

There are some towns IN which
"Nuthin ever happens" but Lubbock
Is not one Of them, has never been
one Of them, and as long as the pres

never be. The howl is going up from
al over the country that business ~

dogs, that folks don't do things ike
they used to--that they can't be m
terested as in the sweet days gone
By.
But while the rest Of the world is T
howling, Lubbock is doing things.
Let's Just summarize some Of the
things that have happened in Lubbock
for the past several months that
proves that statement.
First, Lubbock sold her bonds and
paved her streets while more than
