s. DON'T understand it," said
= Bobby as we saw some wild
pigs in Florida scamper back into
the woods at the approach Of our
automobile. Why do wild pigs
look cleaner than tame pigs. and
they never seem to get fat like
the pigs that live on farms?"
That's simple" said Bunny.
When they're out in the open
they have the chance to run and
get plenty of exercise and then
they eat the food they were in
tended to eat and not a lot of
refuse which many farmers feed
to their pigs. That's why they

in the yard while he was house
cleaning.
We stood in the shade Of the
tree waiting for the farmer to
bring the milk and naturally we
watched the pig. He shifted
around on the ground for while,
and then he made straight for
the barn door, which was open

came out with a bundle of hay in

OFFICIALS WITHOUT PAY

Warren. Ohio. July 2s.-LPp-
Financially embarrassed to the point
OF dire poverty, the city of Warren,
with its 10000 population. by Satur.
day night will find itself without a
police department. reduced to one
fire station and faced with public
subscription to buy tires for one ol
the fire trucks.
By an emergency ordinance which
the city council passed last night the
police force Of 16 men will GO ont OF
existence Saturday. Policemen and
firemen have received no pay for two
months.
Sheriff John Smith Of Trumbull
county and his deputy will enforce
the law in the city.
And in the meantime a committee
will solicit the business men Of the
city for funds to maintain the fire
department. The income from what
ever fines are assessed in police
court and from city licenses will be
used to meet the back salaries of
the policemen and firemen.
Financially, Warren has gradually
been going from bad to worse. Sew
erAl months ago Il was necessary to
limit the fire department to two sta
ti0ns. Last nights emergency or
dinancc abolishes one of these. A
truck in the remaining station is
sorely in need of two new tires, and
there apparently is but one way to
get them. The business men agreed
to take up q collection to buy the
tires.
The growth Of the city from 10000
in 1910 to 10000 in 1926. without a
corresponding increase in revenue, is
blamed for the present situation.

Tijuana, Lower California, July -.
-R,-Defsnss counsel and govern

to speed up ~ trial Of former Po-
lice Chief 2onaide Llanos and three
other MIN charged with responsible
lty Tor alleged attacks on Clyde and
Audrey Peteet here last February,
which supposedly inspired u suicide
pact carried out by the two girls and
their parents in their San Diego
home few days afterwards.
Announcement was made last night
that the second days court session
would start today at 3 q. m. instead
of 10. Nearly dozen witnesses re-
main to be called and court officers
believe the trial will continue until
Thursday.
Admit Some Charges
Two Of the defendants-Luis ANA
dor and Refugio Alvarez--placed on
the stand yesterday in their own de-
fcnse, admitted certain Of the
charges made against them while
Llanos denied statements made by
the older Peteet girl. Francisco
Gonzales, fourth defendant. former
Tijuana policeman, is charged with
being an accOmplice.
Efforts of the defense attorneys
yesterday centered on attempts to
bring out that Thomas M. Peteet, his
wife and daughters, during their
four days visit here prior to the
night on which the attacks were al
legged to have been made, had not
conducted themselves in a manner to
lend support to statements made by
them that the two girls had been
druggcd and attacked.
A vote Of seven of the nine jurors
court attaches said, would consti.
.tute a verdict. A maximum penalty
of from six to eight years would be
possible upon conviction.
