Commander Byrd has also dis-

That range is within territory

CRASH!
On the eriminal docket at th<-
city hall, the following charge
against a Borger woman is list-
ed: "Destruction of personal
property."
It sounded uninteresting, but
a reporter has to make the
uninteresting interesting. So
the story was traced.
A local man drove his car
into a garage. A woman entered.
She picked up a slab of pine
board, drew back her arm and
hurled it through the glass win-
dow of the automobile. The glasH
splintered.
The man strode indignantly
to the woman's side. Pardon
me." she said, "I thought you
were your brother. Your brother
and I just can't get along."
