City Police are
After Jay Walkers

Clovis is not only getting to be
city but is taking on city airs. Wed
nesday morning City Policeman Sad
Ter was stationed at the corner of
Monroe and Main Streets and issued
an order that jay-walking on that
corner must cease. II is needless to
say that he had his hands full. Not
withstanding the fact that walking
line" has been drawn off on the pave
ment, pedestrians insist on cutting
across corners or jay-walking. Clo-
Wis streets are getting to be busy
thoroughfares and while cutting cor
ners may save little time it also in
creases the likelihood Of accidents.

RAISE IN TELEPHONE
RATES OPPOSED

albuquerque, N. NJ, August 10
There is a rumor that former gov
Mountain States Telephone Company
to raise its phone rates at various
points in the state has met with much
opposition. 1t seems that the phone
company made application for raise
in its rates last year and the corpora
ton commission is just now getting
around to the matter of allowing the
raise. This makes telephone rentals
come up at time when other COM
modities arc coming down. The
Chamber of Commerce this week
passed resolution opposing the raise
in rates in Clovis.

BOY SHOT STEALING MELONS

Plainview, Texas, Aug. 10-His
love for watcrmelons is likely to
prove fatal to Noel Fayer8, 12-year-
old Plainview boy.
Last night he was alleged to have
been shot by W. r. Hopkins, farm
err, while on watermelon stealing
expedition, and last night his life
hung by a thread
Six shots from a shot gun took eff
feet in the boy, one lodging in his
forehead. Physicians were hopeful
that he would pull through, but they
said that several operations would be
necessary, and that the boy would be
in the hospital for weeks.
The watermelon patch which Noel,
together with several companions,
entered, was about enc mile west Of
Plainview. Hopkins said that his
patch was his only source of income
and that he had warned mauraders
repeatedly that he would shoot If he
caught any of them in his patch
again,
When the Doy was shot his com
papions took him to his parents home
Hopkins said that when he shot he
thought that the melon thieves were
men.
Hopkins will appear before the
grand jury of the district court
which is now in session, tomorrow
morning to answer a criminal com
plant which will be filed against him
