Monday, January 16, two men en-
tered the Cranfllls Gap Bank, locked
Chris Rohne, caShier, in the vault
scooped up $712 in cash and escaped
in a southward direction.
=!; Sheriff Pearl Benson was notified
and arrived upon the scene of the
crime in double-quick time and set to
work intent on running down the
criminals. Officers of surrounding ter-
ritories were notified of the robbery
and given descriptions of the men.
Friday, Sheriff Benson received a tip
from Dallas officers who had undei
surveillance a man who tallied with
the given description. Thinking the
tip might lead into Oklahoma, Sher-
iff Samson called for Texas Ranger
Burton and went to Dallas where^he
arrested one man and one woman,
namely, Roy Southerland and a Miss
Anderson, his companion at the time
of the arrest. Ten dollars were taken
from Southerland. He refused to talk.
After grilling Miss Anderson she
gave information* that led to the ar-
rest of Cotton Mann, 18 miles east of
Corsieaaa; Mann being Southerland’s
co-partner. She also gave information
that led to the arrest of Howard
Southerland, Coryell County. How-
ard Southerland had driven the men
18 miles east of Corsicana for which
he had received $15, but denied any
knowledge of toe robbery.

Bosque sheep men who have been
losing a few or more sheep during
toe winter months without apparent
cause are cautioned to give the ani-
mals at least a light feeding daily of
some good maintenance ration, such
as roughage and oats or some other
grain. Until there is enough pasture
to maintain the animals, they are
very likely to eat anything green
they can find, and very often they
are forced to eat some weed or plant
that is poisonous, and which they or-
dinarily will not touch.
Post-mortem examination was
made on an ailing sheep by Dr.
Barns, Veterinarian, and the county
agent last week, and the animal
showed symptoms of having eaten
some poison plant. Several animals
had been lost from the same herd.
Most animals suffering from this
cause droop a few hours or days,
then seem to lose control of toe tegs
and usually lie on the side with the
head drawn around toward toe stom-
ach. When put on their feet they re-
fuse to stand, and after lying for a
few hours they begin to breathe
heavily, as with pneumonia. p|L f >>'

gently to get this money from the
Federal government for use in this
manher. He toys the committee feels
confident money from this source and
for this, purpose will be forthcoming

that Tom C. Parks of this city had
been added to the co.unty commitee,
and that blanks had been filled out
and sent in with request for this much
needed aid. U j
The very efficient trades day com-

ciation for their work, by the club

i? FROM WOMACK
By Special Correspondent
Last Friday ended the second six
weeks’ term of school. The attend-
ance has been slack for the past few
weeks but unavoidably so, due to the
seemingly general siege of sickness.
However, this week the attendance
has almost gotten back to normal.
The Womack Outsiders played Cay-
ote a game of basketball on their
home court Wednesday night, losing
by the small margin of 12-18. It was
a very close and exciting game.
Next Tuesday afternoon the school-
boys will play Cooper in a game of
basketball at Womack. The game
played last week at Cooper resulted
in the score of 18-21 in Cooper’s fa-
vor. It is greatly hoped that the
score may be reversed in Womack’s
fsvor next Tuesday.
Following is the honor roll for the
second six weeks of school:
10th. Grade—Phillis Preacher 95.2,

MAGAZINE CLUB
The Clifton Magazine Club has mot
twice within the last week and a half
in order that it might keep its meet-
ings up to date.
The meeting of January 17, was
held at Mrs. Mosley’s home. The
theme of the program was “The Tex-
as Cowboy”. In the absence of Mrs.
Colwick, president, Mrs. Nichol took
charge of the meeting. After a roll
call answered with current events,
the following program was given:
The Log of a Cowboy—Mrs. Dury
Herm. 11 ;; ppMUpH
Folklore of the Texas-Mexican
Vaquero—Mrs. Fielding Helm.
Cowboy Songs—A Discussion
Mrs. G. Oswald.
Song: “I’d Like to be in, Texas for
the Round-up in the Spring”—Mrs.
Homer Carpenter.
It was surprising to find how little
we really knew about the Texas cow-
boy. We so often think we know all
about our cowboy who is so famous
the world over. /
During the social hour the hostess
served a delicious salad plate assist-
ed by Mrs. B. Parks and Mrs. Phil
Gilliam. ‘
In the second meeting of the club
it went deeper into the study of Texas
Folklore and discussed different local-
ities. At roll call it was learned that
there was almost no end of Mexican
names applied to towns and rivers.
Interesting papers were given by
Mesdames J. B. Moore, Mosley, M. B.
Jameson and N. M. Colwick, These
included lore of the Llano Estacado,
Cheyenne and Arapahoe territories;
tales of the old Texas household and
“Hell in Texas.”
Mrs. A. Mitchell was the gracious
hostess to this meeting. After the
program she served refreshments
carrying out a delightful St, Valen-
tine motif.
The meeting adjourned to meet
with Mrs. Nichol, February 7th at
