a smash-up took place on the
night Of the 11th, between the
hours Of S and 10, as the south
bound hack was drawing into the
depot on the II. u X. Road, in
which the tongue to the machine
was iammed up against a deter
mined hitching post. The result
was the t~olescoping Of a gingham

was hurt. The only fragments Of
the wreck visible this morning were
a few splinters, a harness buckle,
and Il cigar stump supposed tc
have been smoked at both ends.

Samuel Slane has finished, and
is occupying his new house on the
Ruidoso.
Joshua Hale is preparingto com
plete his new adobe house. This
is a large residence for this coun-
try, containing as it does four large
rooms, all to be finished in good
style.
A larger amount OF land is being
broken and placed under ditch this
spring ON the Ruidoso than ever
before. Oats is the crop that
leads. The Hale family, father
and sons, have several hundreds Of
acres planted, and Mr.. Coe, eight
miles further down the creek, has
put in IS acres, and would 90
more but cannOt get the necessary
seed.
Capt. Brazcl has finished the
new addition to his house on Eagle
Greek, and is occupying it. lie
has also broken several acres Of
new land ills spring.
The Conner brothers, VIII. and
jim, have about completed Mr..
Goodin's new house on Little Creek
This is a large log structure, con
tanning three rooms, HING feet
each, and it is Mr.. Goodin's inten-
ton to add one or more rooms to
this.
Jackson Holder is putting up a
house on Eagle Creek.
Jesse Jones has got the logs up
for his place at the forks Of Eagle.
Jesse has the plcasantest residence
spot on the Creek, and Judging
from the size Of the proposed struc-
ture he evidently intends it to be
an ornament to its location.
knight and Justis have nearly
completed their new 1GX32 feet log
house, on upper Eagle.
If new houses are any indication
OF good times, the mountain sec
tions of Lincoln County are Ger
tainly iourishlng. Not only is
there a great deal Of building 60
ing on, bat the buildings are OF a
better grade than heretofore erect
ed. The old dirt roof, unpeeled
logs, and clap-board doors have
given away to shingles, hewed
logs, and factory-maie doors and
sash.
\ great many fruit trees and
vines are being planted in this sec
ton this spring. We know Of one
ranch company which has set out
an orchard Of apples, cherries,
peaches, pears, apricots, crab-ap-
piles, grapes, %currants, goosebcrries,
raspbcrries, strawberries and black
berries. We propose to take our
vacation ON this ranch after this
summer, and make ourselves mis-.
cradle among the berry bushes.
1t is reported that trout have re.
turned from their winter trip, and
can be found at their old haunts in
the Bonito, Eagle, and Ruidoso.
