Another former resident of I'm
perial Valley has passed on, Mrs.
Leah Boyer learned this week in a
copy of the South Coast News, print
ed at Laguna Beach. He was well
known in Ell Centric three years ago
one of the most admired among his
set. The article telling of his death
follows.
Bob Sullivan is gone. Of course
there will be many people who will
say that Bob was only a black cat,
but when one reflects that he had
been the cherished companion for
nine and a half years of a woman
who would otherwise have been quite
alone, and when one learns that a
couple of airdale dogs tore the cat
to pieces while it was within its
own domain of a walled-in-garden,
it does seem curious that such
things could be.
Wasn't Mere Cat
Bob wasn't just a mere cat. He
was gifted with an almost human
intelligence and, without eXaggera-
ton, actually understood all that
was said to him, for the reason that
he and his mistress were inseparable.
1t is odd how a person can speak a
language that an animal can under
stand but it happens more frequent
ly than is commonly known. 1t was
that sort of relationship between
Bob and his mistress, Katherine
Sullivan.
Nights he waited on the gate post
for her to come home. 1t was the
night of March 4 that she came,

TechnicaIities in Case to Be Fixed Before Alleged
 Thieves Face Court

A days continuance was given in city court today to Thomas Elowe, 26, of Valley Falls, R. T., and Edward Davenport, 21, of Providence, R. l., who are charged with stealing a truck from East Main street Satur- day morning. Owned by the United Transportation Co. of Providence, the truck had been placed under attachment earlier in the morning by Deputy Al Francis.
 Police sent out teletype alarms of the theft of the truck, but the youths avoided large cities on the route, using back roads. They were arrested, however, when they reached Providence. Saturday night, state police brought them to Dan- ielson, where they were held for To- cal authorities. Detective Joseph Bender returned the pair to this city. %
 The continuance today was sug- gested by Prosecutor John Thoms, who said that several technicalities in the case had to be strengthened out before the men could be ar- raigned.

Little Close-Ups
 Of Your Newsboy
Democrat Starts Series Today of Miniature BiOg-
 raphies of Its Carriers-Interestng Facts Noted

Your newsboy-the citizen of to- morrowl Adolph Ochs, owner and publisher of the New York Times, who recently died once said, "Op- portunities come to every man-and boy. Ninety-niy1e out of a hundred are always seeking opportunities instead of preparing for them. What good is opportunity if you are not prepared for it?"
 The above words are familiar to your newspaper boy. He has already grasped what opportunity came his way and is preparing for greater ones every day as he continues a member of The Democrat carrier force. In addition to his school work he is being self-taught. He learns the value of honesty and de- pendability. He receives experience that will prove of value in later life. He learns that value of money and learns initiative.
 In short-the boy who today serves you The Democrat-tomorrow will be the man who prepared him. self for the opportunity that will come as surely as tomorrow's sum- rise.
 Daily Feature
 Starting today The Democrat will run the first of @ series of News paper Boy biographies entitled "Your Newspaperboy". On each day there will be, in addition to the photograph of the boy, an article that will tell the age of the boy, where he attends school, his hob- bies, the section that he covers daily together with the names of some of the prominent people he serves and with whom he comes in contact.
 The biographies will be written by John J. Morrissey of The Democrat circulation department, who is in constant touch with the boys, knows their problems and their ambitions and smooths out their diculties from time to time.
 Future Citizens
 Realizing that the boy of today Is the citizen of tomorrow The Democrat feels that in encouraging its newspaperboys to be manly courteous and honest in their deal- ings with the public 1t will be of genuine service to the community. Each and every boy before given a Democrat route is carefully selected and instructed in his duties as well as in his obligation to the sub- scriber he serves.
 By bringing before the reading public the pictorial likeness of each boy together with @ condensed bic ography the reader will come to bet- ter know each one of these boys, of which there are nearly three hun- dred, any one of whom may be the business man, senator of president of tomorrow.
