Stasny and John Baros, young
men who live between Yoakum
and Sweet Home, were on their
way to the Stasny home with the
hay. Mr. Striz was on his way
from Yoakum to Hallettsville and
according to his statement was
going more than 40 miles per
hour at the time. It was shortly
after sundown and although it
was not completely dark, lie had
his lights on and approaehing car
lights prevented him from seeing
the loaded wagon until it was
too late. The car plowed into
the rear of the wagon almost
head on and ran under the wagon
throwing it forward on the mules
and completely demolishing the
wagon and killing one mule out-
right and breaking the hind legs
of the other, necessitating the
killing of the animal. The boys
on the wagon were thrown clear
of the wreck and knocked sense-
less for a few minutes but suf-
fered only bruises, according to
information. Mr. Striz was thrown
against the steering wheel and
bruised and flying glass from
the windshield cut him about the
face. The car did not turn over
but was turned completely around
and damaged to the extent of
about $400, according to esti-
mates. Hay and parts of the
wagon were strewn in every di-
rection and the damage and loss
on the wagon and teams was es-
timated between two and three
hundred dollars Insurance was
carried on the car according to
information but the wagon and
team were not insured.

Some time during Sunday night
robbers entered the Shropshire &
Co. drug store and escaped with
about $35 in cash, according to
information received from Chief
of Police Strunk today.
Entrance to the drug store was
gained through the barred alley
on the side of the Grand Thea-
tre, then by prying open the out*
side warehouse door to the Shrop-
shire building and finally into
the drug store by sawing the fac-
ing on an inside door and lifting
the door bar. According to in-
formation the safe door was not
locked and the robber had but to
open the door and take the cash
out, which he did without dis-
turbing anything else in the store.
The theif did not leave any
clues and no arrests had been
made this morning although the
police were still working on the
case. The robbery was discovered
when employees of the store re-
ported for work at an early hour
this morning and police were im-1
mediately notified. Chief Strunk
stated that the robbery was evi-
dently committed by some one
who was familiar with the build-
ing and had the entrance care-
fully planned. He was unable to
explain just how the entrance
to and from the alley was gained,
but stated that whether it was
over the roof or over the iron
bars to the alley, it Avas a feat
in itself.
Henry Louis Zapalac, aged 41
j years, 4 months and 2 days, who
died at his home on Davis Ave-
nue Saturday afternoon, was laid
to rest in Live Oak cemetery
near Ellinger today. Mr. Zapalac
moved to Yoakum about three
months ago, and died after a
lingering illness.
Funeral services were held at
hlo ]mmo Qnnrlov mnrninv at Q
o’clock, after which the funeral
cortege left by way of auto for
Ellinger, Texas, where burial was
made today.
The deceased is survived by
his wife and one daughter, Miss
Elsie Zapalac, his patents, Mr.
and Mrs. Peter Zapalac of Co-
lumbus, two sist'-i.'s, Mrs. Chas.
Hraehovy, of Ellinger, Mrs. F. A.
Kallus of Yoakum, and two broth-
ers Louis Zapalac of La Grange
and Peter Zapalac of Ellinger.

I

RANGE CATTLE REPORTED
IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
LIBERTY, Jan. 26. (JP)—Cat-
tlemen of Liberty and Chambers
counties report range cattle in
the best condition to begin what
usually is the coldest part of the
winter.
Although tlie number of cattle 1J!
that will through necessity be
fed for several weeks is large, it
is not as large as last winter
when the weather was unusually
severe.
There is a scarsity of feed,
however, and cotton seed and
other grains are reported finding
ready .sales. The ranchers have
expressed optimism over the pros-
pect of comparatively small cat-
tle losses this winter.

The leading tire companies are sometimes called “the big
five”—their tires “the standard makes.”
We think this is a grand “break’” for the other four, but
something of a hardship on Goodyear.
The fact is, Goodyear builds MILLIONS MORE tires
than any other manufacturer. GOODYEAR GAINED
THIS WORLD-LEADERSHIP BY BUILDING TIRES
THAT ARE EMPHATICALLY AND CONSPICU-
OUSLY SUPER-STANDARD!
More people riue on Goodyears because Goodyears are
BETTER tires to ride on! v
They are PROVABLY superior—SUPER-standard! Wo
will show you WHY before you buy. Low 1930 prices on
all types. Will you call—or shall we?
