How long can a goat live with
out food or water, has been partially
answered by a case occurring IN
Gold Gulch, between Bayard and
Santa Rita, where a goat spent 80
days in a prospect hole with no
chance to obtain either food or water
A man named Serna, who has a
small flock of goats, missed a fe-
male, largely because the goats Off
spring turned up an orphan one
morning.
Thirty days after the goat had
been missed the owner found it in
a prospect hole still living, though
in a very weakened condition. With
a little care it soon regained its
strength and lives today as a re-
markable case OF endurance.
A few years ago, w C. Silsby, goat
man of the Burro mountains, found
three animals surviving from among
a bunch of six to eight that had fall
len into a prospect hole. There was
the best evidence that they had been
in the hole three weeks.-Silver City

LOCAL CLEANUP PARADE
PROVES GRAND SUCCESS
Many Appropriate Floats ard
Object Lessons; Much Inter.
est Being Manifested

The program of Cleanup Week
was substantially carried out as out
lined in our last issue, beginning
with the Parade on Wednesday af-
ternoon. There were about q dozen
floats or separate exhibits followed
by the students and teachers of the
local Graded and High School. The
line of march was led by Misses
Amelia Pirtle and Bessie Clark on
horseback. Music was furnished by
Messrs. Frank and Cecil Tichenor,
Archie Johnson and Roy Barnhill.
Messrs. Parke Taylor and Edward
Duke proved most efficient Marshals.
Perhaps the most spectacular partici-
pants in the parade were Doug. and
his White Mule" the "Old Dutch
Cleanser" Girl and the Gold Dust
Twins" A touch OF the beauty
and freshness of childhood was lent
by the pony equipages OF Little Miss
Irene Cox Birkhead and Masters
Birkhead and Brown, (three of
'em) The most deliberately docorat-
ed cars were driven by Miss Winnie
Davis Simmerman and Mr.. Tony
Johnson, the former decorated in
patriotic colors, the latter with foli-
age and blossoms.
The most formidable looking
bunch was the shovel and pick
squad plotting the county truck.
The best premedtated object les
son was the float. Hartford As She
is" featuring Miss Beatrice Leach
and Messrs. Everett Hines and Vir-
gil Grove, but the best practical
demonstration of our municipal
needs was the fact that the foat
carrying The Queen of the Carni-
val" broke down right on Main
street in front of the Court House.
The ceremonies on the public
square at the close of the parade
were appropriately and entertaiugly
carried out. The school children,
under Mrs. S. O. Keown's direction,
sang several rousing songs and short
talks along the line of Civic I'm
provement were made by Judge
Mack Cook, Prof. Roy Foreman and
Messrs. A. d. Kirk and James Tate,
introducted w. c. Blankenship.
Quite a good sized crowd indicated
their interest in the movement by
their presence. The efforts of the
Clean Up Committee and their aids
were continued through the week.
and it is reported that they met with
hearty cooperation on all sides. The
of the movement want
to take this opportunity to again
thank all who so kindly helped with
all phases of the work

JUDGE JOHN S. RHEA SUED
BY LAWYER fOA HtRADuNs
Suit Over Alleged Refusal To
Hear Attorneys Cases Is
Political Feud Echo

Greenville, KY, April 1S.--As a
sequel to the -Herndon politi-
cal feud in Logan County, Hubert
Meredith, Greenville attorney, to-
day filed suit against Circuit Judge
John S. Rhea for $4,000 damages
for alleged refusal to hear his cases.
The suit was filed In the Circuit
Court here, which Is In Judge
Rhea's district.
Mr.. Meredith charges that this
arbitrary action" of Judge Rhea
twas an unlawful abridgement" of
his license to practice law. He says
no charges have been made against
his character. Appointment of spe-
cial judges in all of his cases is i'm
practical, the attorney contends.
Mr.. Meredith represented Mr.. and
Mrs. A. NJ. Herndon, Russellville
newspaper publishers, in the sensa-
tional court proceedings growing
out of political enmity between the
Rhea and anti-Rhea factions.
The Herndons were indicted for
criminal libel in connection with an
editorial attacking Judge Rhea. The
indictment was quashed by special
Judge after the Herndons charged
Judge Rhea had Influenced the
grand jury.
Judge Rhea later was arrested on
the charge of having written an OBJ
scene letter to Mrs. Herndon but he
was dismissed at the preliminary
hearing before the United States
Commissioner.
