LUBBOCK WAS ATTACKED BY
PEDDLERS WHO CAME IN

A Ordinance is being prepared by
the Retail Merchants Association
from samples taken from a number
~ towns over the state TO be pre-
scnted to the City Commissioners
who have Indicated that they will
favorably consider any ordinance
that will relieve this situation and
il is hoped and expected that some
thing will be done 70 take Lubbock

John Peddling scheme concocted
anywhere in the United States. AZ

The beggars, one-armed pencil
peddlers, blind violin players and
similar other fortunate unfortunates

Lubbock was a profitable stopping

Of the local Red Cross centralized

Arrested in California Last Week

Gates" The following is an ex-
tract from the article, showing Boat
wright's attitude toward Gates:
Deputy Sheriff John Boatwright
holds grudge against Gates be-
cause Of his statement that he turn
ed bimself over 10 the authorities
According TO Boatwright, Gates was
cutting bread in an Indio restaurant
when the arrest was made. The Of
ficer, followed by another deputy,
stepped up behind Gates and order
ed him TO put up his hands. Due to
the feeling Of n revolver against his
skin, Gates complied, Boatwright
said, but kept the breadknife in his
hands until ordered to drop IT,.
Handcuffs were put on him, and
although he at first attempted to
feign Ignorance Of what his arrest
was for, gave il up and admitted his
identity within short time, Boat
wright said.
Gates was brought back TO Lub-
book with the two officers, arriving
here Friday noon, many people in
tsrested in the case met the train
to see the returned prisoner. He
was rushed TO the county Jail and
Is now there waiting trial on a
forgery case. Together with the
punishment he may receive for this
