Death of Lillie Schwake noted at 73
Lillie Victoria Schwake 73 of 1255 South Grant was found dead Friday afternoon. Justice of the Peace Virgil Lumpee ruled natural causes. Services pending at Hubbard-Kelly Funeral Home. Grace Hendricks introduced to the audience as holder of the world's record for jackrabbit roping set in 1932. Contenders in The Hopper aim to beat Hendricks record of five seconds in Fun-of-a-gun events. Friday also began the Fun-of-a-gun series with a beard-making contest in the fun arena. The beard event allowed women to compete in an otherwise all-male event. Events continue Sunday with chili cook-off and various contests including The Yolk egg-throwing and cow-chip throwing. Watermelon seed spitting and state chili championships also on schedule. Animal cruelty concerns cited by opponents remain unresolved. Three Odessa men and officers are pictured with confiscated marijuana.
