the screech owls and pygmy owls
have been established in comfort.
Possession is all the law there is in
the Arizona cactus and desert, and
in case of a dispute the owls eat lit-
chipmunks and flickers anyway.
All day in the cool depths of his
hole the screech owl hides from the
heat and glare. As the sun sinks he
comes out and flits silently toward
the river bottom, where the mice
and kangaroo rats are already be-
ginning to play on the sand patches
and to hustle through the willows
and thickets. The quail
and smaller birds arc hid away in
the bushes, and around the old logs
and stumps great yellow scorpions
and beetles are picking their way.
At the slightest movement of a
blade of grass the screech owl
swoops to the ground, and when he
is not ranging the flats for
he is searching bunches of mis-
and dense mesquite trees for
the birds which lie hidden here.
He does not scorn the scorpion
and beetles, nor yet grasshoppers
and smaller bugs. At the same time
he will tackle a bush rabbit or twitch
a pocket gopher from his hole by
the head. He swallows his prey
whole and after digestion has taken
place throws up the bones and fur
in the shape of pellets. It is by
looking for pellets beneath wood-
holes in cottonwoods and

locate the homes of these owls.

Dr. Joseph Priestly, of Eng-

seemingly studied emphasis counted

AB he faintly whispered he

fell back dead.
Dr. Priestly was one of an
broken line of physicians of more
than ordinary distinction since the
days of the great London physicians
His father; James Priestly,
survive him. Young Priestly be-
came with pneumonia a
few ago. He grew rapidly
worse, but rallied and was thought
to be improved. Suddenly he be-
came worse and messengers were
dispatched for friends, who came in
time to see the young physician
count himself out.

In any view of the matter, the
controversy between Judge Peebles
and the Roberson county lawyers is
unfortunate. From the inception of
the affair The Post deplored it, fore-
seeing it must lead to
ant developments that would involve
both parties in a hitter contest, The
present situation just lies this papers
forebodings. In regretting the com-
between the bench and
bar it i not necessary say
the lawyers had a right to take
the action which the occasion
the offense to his honor, or not; or
whether the judge ought to have
taken it to heart in the way he did
or not. Whatever the final judicial
determination of the matter may be
good people must unite in de-
any measure of punishment
or that may fall upon or
the other party to the controversy.
In view of the answer and affidavits
that were filed at Lumberton Mon-
day, it now appears impossible for
either side to the controversy to
withdraw from it with
Post.

Editor
The sheriff's office of Pitt county
becomes more important every
year. The duties are more com-
and arduous as the
country becomes more expanded,
and the many intricacies com-
of the laws enacted and
the greater volume of
accumulations. It therefore re-
quires a man of experience, cool
head and active intelligent
mind to fill the sheriff office of
the large county of Pitt as it
should be.
Tucker has proven that
he is capable till to the full
measure the ex-
of a first sheriff.
Long years of experience, a per-
familiarity with the duties of
oilier, bis
acquaintance with people of
the county, his high character
exemplary habits, his cool nerve
and promptness to duty, make
him the most thoroughly equip-
mm for this high and
office.
And without disparagement to
the claims and strength of any or
ail of the aspirant, it. goes with-
out saying Leon W, Tucker is the
man upon whom the mantel of the
sheriff's office should fall.
